INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND

Mass Rapid Transport System (MRTS) is an elevated/underground suburban railway system which facilitates large commuters to travel any part of the city within short duration. The large capacities of such systems make them potentially more efficient in terms of cost and comfort journey than any other automobile transportation. In addition, it helps to decongest the crowded road corridors and offers a more environment friendly mass transportation alternatives.

Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL), a joint venture of Government of India and Government of Karnataka is a Special Purpose Vehicle entrusted with the responsibility of implementation of Bangalore Metro Rail Project. Bangalore Metro, christened as "Namma Metro", not only adds to the beauty of Bangalore skyline, but immensely adds to the comfort level of travel. Besides this, Namma Metro is a major environment friendly addition to the Bangalore City as it significantly contributes to the reduction of carbon emissions.

The Phase I of Bangalore Metro Rail project has two corridors - an East-West corridor - 18.10 km long, starting from Baiyappanahalli in the East and terminating at Mysore Road terminal in the West and a 24.20 km North-South corridor commencing at Nagasandra in the North and terminating at Puttenahalli in the South. The commercial operations on Reach-1 (MG Road to Baiyappanahalli station) have opened on 20th October 2011. The commercial operations on Reach-3 (Nagasandra to Mantri Square Sampige Road Station) have commenced on 1st March 2014. The commercial operations on Reach-3B (Peenya Industry to Nagasandra) have commenced on 1st May 2015 and the commercial operations on Reach-2 (Magadi Road to Mysore Road Terminal) have commenced on 18th November 2015.

The six corridors of the proposed Bangalore Metro Phase II project have been finalised after taking into account environmental and social concerns, considerations of traffic, integration with the existing system and importantly, the overall economic and financial viability. The underlying principles for evaluation for each corridor, without affecting the overall usefulness of the corridor, are:  Minimum private land acquisition,  Least disturbance to properties,  Minimum disturbance to people and  Minimum disturbance to ecology/ biodiversity.

For the Phase II of Bangalore Metro following six lines were considered: i. Extension of E-W line: Mysore Road Terminal to Kengeri ii. Extension of E-W line: Baiyappanahalli to ITPL – Whitefield iii. Extension of N-S line: Hesaraghatta Cross to BIEC iv. Extension of N-S line: Puttenahalli Cross to Anjanapura Township (up to NICE Road) v. New Line – N –S: Gottigere - IIMB to Nagavara vi. New Line - E-W: R.V. Road to Bommasandra

It may be seen from the above that Phase-II includes a total length of 72.095 km (13.79 km underground) and 61 Stations with 12 Underground Stations.

The proposed alignment is one of the alignments of phase II corridors. The alignment starts from Gottigere to Nagavara covering 21.255 km consisting of both elevated and underground sections. The elevated stretch is 7 km, underground is 13.8 km and the ramp area is 480 m. The alignment has 6 elevated stations and 12 underground stations.

The aims of a metro project are to: (i) mitigate climate change and pollution (air and noise) by providing more environmentally sustainable transport means, (ii) contribute to the economic growth by reducing urban congestion and thus increasing labour productivity and (iii) improve the livelihood of socially disadvantaged population by enhancing their mobility and thus their access to education, jobs and other services.

European Investment Bank (EIB) with Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) is going to fund the proposed corridor. As the long-term financing body of the European Union (EU), the European Investment Bank (EIB) promotes EU policies through its financial and other support to sustainable investment projects. The increasing prominence given to environmental and social considerations within the EU and throughout the other regions of operation of the Bank is reflected in its priority lending objectives as well as in the regular review and revision of its environmental and social requirements and operational practices.

The environmental and social policies, principles and standards as well as the operational practices of the EIB derive from and reflect the evolving EU approach and that of other international institutions towards the promotion of environmental sustainability and social well-being, in the broader context of the goal of sustainable development.

The EIB aims to add value by enhancing the environmental and social sustainability of all the projects that it is financing and all such projects must comply with the environmental and social requirements of the Bank. In particular, climate change, biodiversity and ecosystems considerations are integrated into the lending policies and practices of the Bank. The ability of the Bank to contribute positively in these respects is an important element of the non-financial value added that it brings to the projects it is financing.

For this purpose, there is a need to prepare an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study for the proposed corridor of Bangalore metro. 1.2 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT

The EIA process is a systematic technique used to identify and assess the environmental and social issues related to the project study area. These include potential risks and benefits to the community well-being and the physical, biological, and socio-economic environments of the study area. The assessment ensures that any adverse environmental and social impacts/key areas of concern are appropriately addressed through mitigation measures as outlined in the management plan.

This EIA report has been prepared in accordance with international best practices. It assesses the relevant legislative framework; the social and environmental baseline; the alternatives considered during the project’s design phase; the social and environmental impacts; and puts forward appropriate mitigation measures and a management plan for their implementation.

POLICY, LEGAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE FRAMEWORK

2.1 INTRODUCTION

The need for a well developed legal mechanism to conserve resources came into existence during a conference on Human Environment which was held at Stockholm in 1972. Abiding to the discussions which were held in the conference, Government of India has framed several policies and formulated number of Acts, Rules and Notifications aimed at Management and Protection of Environment. As stated in Constitution of India, the responsibility of state with regard to environmental protection has been laid down under Article 48-A. As per this article “The State shall endeavor to protect and improve the environment and safeguard the forests and wildlife of the country”. It is the right of every citizen to treat their surrounding as their home, Article 51-A(g) states that “The fundamental duties of every citizen is to protect and improve the natural environment including forests, lakes, rivers, wildlife and to have compassion for living creatures”. Many laws and regulations were laid down by Government of India and State Government. These laws and regulations should be followed prior to implementation of any project. The project area lies in heart of Bangalore city with heavy population, structures and green cover. Hence the project has to be scrutinized with various laws and regulations summarized below. 2.2 LEGAL FRAMEWORK

 Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 This act was enforced to prevent and control water pollution and maintain or restore wholesomeness of water.

 The Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Cess Act, 1977 The act provides for levy and collection of Cess on water consumed by the local authorities and by persons carrying on certain industrial activities with a view to generate resources for prevention and control of water pollution. Water prevention and control of pollution provides prevention and control of water pollution and maintaining or restoring of wholesomeness of water.

 The Karnataka Ancient and Historical Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act, 1961. This act was enacted to provide for the preservation of ancient and historical monuments and Archeological sites and remains and for the protection of sculptures, carvings and other like objects in the State of Karnataka.

 The Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Act, 1966 The Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Act, 1966 (Karnataka Act No. 18 of 1966), was enacted for the establishment of industrial areas in the State and generally to promote the establishment and orderly development of industries therein.

 Karnataka Municipal Corporations Act, 1976 This act was enforced to protect the public places and people from developing projects. Section 288 discusses regarding power to allow certain projections and erections. Prior permission should be obtained from commissioner. There is prohibition of structures or fixtures which cause obstruction in public streets, no person shall except with the written permission of the commissioner under section 288 erect or set up any wall, fence, rail, booth or other structures or fixtures in or upon any public street or upon or over any open channel, well or tank in any street so as to form an obstruction to or an encroachment upon or a projection over or to occupy any portion of such street, channel, drain, well or tank. According to section 288A, there is prohibition of structures or fixtures which cause obstruction in public streets, therefore the project proponent should get a written permission of commissioner under section 288.

 Karnataka Preservation of Trees Act, 1976 This act was enforced to provide preservation of trees in the state by regulating the felling of trees and for the planting of adequate number of trees to restore ecological balance. A census of existing trees should be carried out and reported to Tree Officer (Asst Conservator of Forest). In case of widening of existing roads, if tree felling is inevitable then, planting and transplanting of trees is mandatory. New Plantation should be carried out according to the prescribed standards on roads. According to law, nearly 10 trees should be planted for single tree felling. When the tree felling is granted for the proposed project the project proponent should plant another tree or trees of the same or any other suitable species on the same site or other suitable place within thirty days from the date the tree is felled or within such extended time. However, nothing in this section shall apply to felling of Casuarina, Coconut, Erythrina, Eucalyptus, Glyrecidia, Hopea, Wightina, Prosopis, Rubber, Sesbania, Silver Oak and Subabul trees.

 Forest Conservation Act, 1980 This act provides for the conservation of forests and regulating diversion of forestlands for non-forestry purposes. If the project falls within the forest land or the land belonging to forest department, prior clearances are required from Forest department under the Forest Conservation Act. The route alignment should be undertaken in close consultation with representatives from State forest departments and the Department of Revenue to avoid environmentally sensitive areas and settlements. If tree felling is inevitable for the proposed alignment, natural regeneration should be practiced and tree plantation is undertaken whenever and wherever it requires. A Compensatory Afforestation should be carried out to compensate loss of vegetation in twice the area of affected land.

 Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 The Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 was enacted to prevent, control and reduce air and noise pollution. The Act lays down national ambient air quality standards for common pollutants like SPM, Sulphur-di-oxide, Oxides of Nitrogen, Carbon Monoxide and Lead etc., with intent of managing air quality for different category of areas (residential, industrial and sensitive).

Ambient Air Quality Standards have been notified by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) vide Gazette Notification dated 11th April 1994. Recently, NABET accreditation was introduced for all environmental consultants and also introduced few additional parameters under air monitoring.

 Karnataka Parks, Play-fields and Open Spaces (Preservation and Regulation) Act, 1985 This act was enforced to provide preservation and regulation of parks, play-fields and open spaces. The act has prohibited construction of buildings under Section 8. According to Subsection (1) no person is allowed to construct any building that is likely to affect the utility of park, play-field or open space or make any enforcement in or over any park, play-filed or open space specified under Section 4 (Approval of list by Government) or Section 5. According to subsection (2) No land or building within a park, play-field or open space specified in the list published under section 4 or section 5 shall be alienated by way of sale, lease, gift, exchange, mortgage or otherwise and no licence for the use of any such land or buildings for any other purposes shall be granted and any alienation made or licence granted in contravention of this section shall be null and void. Section 9 describes about obligation of owner of parks and play-fields. In case of any projection, encroachment or obstruction in park or play field the project proponent should maintain such park or play-field in a clean and proper condition or remove or alter the projection, encroachment or obstruction or execute such repairs under supervision of executive authority.

 Environment Protection Act, 1986 This act was introduced as an umbrella legislation to provide a framework for the protection and improvement of environment. Under this Act, the central government is empowered to take measures necessary to protect and improve the quality of the environment by setting standards for emissions and discharges; regulating the location of industries; management of hazardous wastes and protection of public health and welfare. From time to time the central government issues notifications under the Environmental Protection Act (EPA) for the protection of ecologically-sensitive areas or issues guidelines as and when required.

 Hazardous Waste (Management and Handling) Rules, 1989 In order to manage hazardous waste (HW) that consists of solids, semi-solids and other industrial wastes which are not covered by the Water & Air Acts, and to enable the authorities to control handling, treatment, transport and disposal of waste given in this Act.

 Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000 The rule was enforced to regulate the increasing ambience of noise level in public places from various sources such as industrial activity, construction activity, generator sets, loud speakers, public address systems, music systems, vehicular horns and other mechanical devices that have deleterious effects on health and the psychological well being of the people. The noise quality standard in respect to different category of areas are based on weighted equivalent noise level (Leq)

 Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Rules, 2000 According to this rule, every municipal authority within the territorial area of the municipality will be responsible for implementation of the provision of these Rules and for any infrastructure development for collection, storage segregation, transportation, processing and disposal of municipal solid wastes.

 The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 The act states that the basic compensation for the Project Affected Persons (PAPs) should be provided according to the market value of the land as at the date of its acquisition. It also entitles PAPs to a hearing before acquisition. 2.3 POLICIES FRAMEWORK

Several environment policy statements have been formulated during the last few decades as a part of the Government’s approach to integrate environmental and developmental aspects of planning. These policies are intended to mainstream environmental concerns in all development activities in the country. Some of the policies essential for the present study are described below.  National Forest Policy, 1988 This policy applicable, when there is any diversion of forest lands for the project purpose to non-forest use. As per the National Forest Policy, the projects which interfere with forests should be severely restricted and no activity is allowed to be carried out until the Government approves the management plan. The projects which involve such diversion should at least provide in their investment budget, funds for regeneration/compensatory afforestation.

 Policy Statement on Abatement of Pollution, 1992 The commitment of Government on abatement of pollution for preventing deterioration of the environment is stated here. The policy elements seek to shift emphasis from defining objectives for each problem area towards actual implementation, but the focus is on the long term, because pollution particularly affects the poor. The complexities are considerable given the number of industries, organisations and government bodies involved. To achieve the objectives maximum use will be made of a mix of instruments in the form of legislation and regulation, fiscal incentives, voluntary agreements, educational programmes and information campaigns. The emphasis will be on increased use of regulations and an increase in the development and application of financial incentives.

 National Environmental Policy, 2007 The dominant theme of this policy is that while conservation of environmental resources it is necessary to secure livelihoods and well-being of all, the most secure basis for conservation is to ensure that people dependent on particular resources to obtain better livelihoods from the fact of conservation than from degradation of the resource. The policy also seeks to stimulate partnerships of different stakeholders, i.e. public agencies, local communities, academic and scientific institutions, the investment community and international development partners, in harnessing their respective resources and strength for environmental management.

 National Policy on Resettlement and Rehabilitation (R &R), 2007 The new policy states that wherever possible, projects should limit displacing people. The project proponent should come up with alternative sites when making requests for acquisition. Only the minimum area of land commensurate with the purpose of the project may be acquired.

Also, as far as possible project may be set up on waste, degraded or un-irrigated land. The government as well as project proponent should consider options that would minimise displacement of people. This policy states that Social Impact Assessment (SIA) will be necessary for projects resulting in “involuntary displacement” - meaning displacement of people unwilling to move - of at least 400 families in plains. The policy lays down that the community to be displaced will have be to kept informed at every stage through public hearings and newspaper advertisements.

This policy also states that while undertaking a SIA, the appropriate government shall consider the impact that the project will have on public and community properties, assets and infrastructure; particularly, roads, public transport, drainage, sanitation, sources of safe drinking water, sources for drinking water for cattle, community ponds, grazing lands, plantations; public utilities, such as post offices, fair price shops, electricity supply, health care facilities, schools and educational/ training facilities, places of worship, land for traditional tribal institutions, burial and cremation grounds etc.

The new policy prohibits transferring land acquired for public purpose for any activity that is not for public benefit. However, this can be done only with the government’s approval. If the acquired land transferred to a private company remains unutilized for five years or more, it will revert to the state. Also, if the land is sold or transferred, 80 per cent of any net unearned income shall be shared with the persons from whom the land was acquired. 2.4 ADMINISTRATIVE FRAMEWORK

There are two administrative responsibilities are responsible to formulate acts and policies at Ministry of Environment & Forest and Central Pollution Control Board. The following section describes the objective of each administration.

 Ministry of Environment and Forest (MoEF) In view of the growing importance of environmental affairs, the Government of India set up a Department in November 1980 under the portfolio of the Prime Minister. The Department, later renamed as the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) plays a vital role in environmental management for sustained development and for all environmental matters in the country. The major responsibilities of MoEF includes - Environmental resource conservation and protection, Environmental Impact Assessment of developmental projects, Co-ordination with the other ministries and agencies, voluntary organizations and professional bodies on environmental action plans, Policy- planning, Promotion of research and development, manpower planning and training and creation of environmental awareness; Liaison and coordination with international agencies involved in environmental matters.

Developmental project proponents are also required to submit Environmental Impact Statements/Assessments to establish that preventive measures are planned by installing adequate pollution control and monitoring equipment, and that effluent discharged into the environment will not exceed permissible levels. The MoEF appraises these statements/ assessments and approves the project from the environmental angle. The respective State Pollution Control Board is to give a No Objection Certificate (NOC) before the EIA exercise is undertaken.  Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) is directly responsible for pollution control throughout the country. The two main objective of CPCB is to promote cleanliness of streams and wells through prevention, control, and abatement of water pollution and to improve the quality of air and to prevent, control or abate air pollution. In addition to the control of air, noise and water pollution it is also responsible to ensure effective control on disposal of hazardous wastes and storage and handling of hazardous chemicals and substances. Additionally, with the enactment of air and water pollution laws, states have set-up their own Pollution Control Boards (SPCBs) to monitor industrial emissions and effluents and to approve the operation of new industries after careful scrutiny. The functions of the SPCBs includes, . The planning of comprehensive state programs for the prevention and control of air and water pollution and to ensure the implementation thereof. . Inspection of control equipment, industrial plants, etc. . Establishing norms in consultation with the Central Board and having regard to national air quality standards, gaseous emission standards from industrial plants, automobiles, etc. Different emission standards may be laid down for different industrial plants, regard to the quantity and composition of emissions into the atmosphere from such plants and the general pollution levels in the area; advising the State Government on setting of new polluting industry.

 Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) The KSPCB was constituted in the year 1974 under the provision of Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974. Subsequently the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Cess Act, 1977, Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 and Environmental Protection Act, 1986 in addition to Rules framed under these Acts were also entrusted to the State Board. The prime objective of all these Acts is maintaining, restoring and preserving the wholesomeness of quality of environment and prevention of hazards to human beings and terrestrial flora and fauna.

The Board has its Central Office at Bangalore. The enforcement of the above stated Acts and Rules are being implemented through thirty three Regional Offices. The Central Office of the Board is responsible for making general policies relating to enforcement of the above said Acts and Rules and it also carries out general administration and co-ordination with other agencies. The Central Laboratory of the Board is well - equipped and can take up analysis of water, waste water, stack emission samples, ambient air samples, bio-assay tests, bacteriological analysis, etc.

2.5 INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES

This EIA has been prepared based on the following international standards:

 EIB Requirements  AIIB Environmental and Social Framework, 2016 2.5.1 EIB requirements Introduction

The EIB finances projects to achieve a number of priority EU policy objectives. In this work it is guided by a series of standards as outlined in the Statement of Environmental and Social Principles and Standards (2009). The manner in which these are applied by EIB in its daily project work is described in the Environmental and Social Practices Handbook (2013).

Environmental and Social Principles and Standards

As a priority, EIB funds projects that support sustainable development through the protection and improvement of the natural environment, and the promotion of sustainable communities. The objectives of the Treaty of the European Union underpin the EIB standards and its general approach, i.e. regarding “preservation of the environment, protection of human health, rational utilisation of natural resources and promotion of measures at international level”. In particular climate change, biodiversity and ecosystem considerations are integrated into the lending policies and practices of the Bank. This reflects EIB’s contribution to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, the UN Convention Biological Diversity (CBD) and the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDG).

To qualify for EIB funding a project should promote one or more of the following EU policy objectives:

 Provide an appropriate response to the threat of climate change  Contribute to sustainable natural resource management  Improve urban quality of life  Safeguard human health by enhancing the natural and build environments

While all projects should give an overall positive contribution to sustainable development in order to be considered for funding, EIB still requires that projects comply with the environmental and social requirements of the Bank. The Bank pays particular attention to the rights of disadvantaged groups and the impacts that a project might have on people in the workplace and in the local community. The principles and standards are derived from European Union policy and law and in addition to the EU Treaty include:

 The fundamental human rights referred to in the EU Charter  Relevant EU environmental and social legislation  Internationally recognised good environmental and social practices from a number of sources  A set of social standards equivalent to the common requirements of the Multilateral Financial Institutions (MFIs)

Bangalore Metro Phase II: Environmental Impact Assessment for Gottigere – Nagavara Corridor 11

Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd.

The principles and standards guide all projects financed by EIB. Within the EU, projects shall comply with EU law unless EIB considers higher standards are appropriate. In the rest of the world, the legal principles and standards of the EU are used as the benchmark, though with the possibility of derogation if deemed justifiable.

EIB does not finance projects that do not comply with appropriate national environmental and social legislation in force at the time. In the Statement, the promoter is made responsible for the application and enforcement of the EIB requirements including compliance with relevant laws and other obligations placed on the promoter by the Bank which are typically reflected in legal undertakings.

The following principles underlie EIB’s approach to managing the environmental and social issues of projects:

 Integration – principle that environmental considerations be merged into all EIB work.  High level of environmental protection – principles of applying a precautionary approach, taking preventive action rather than damage control, environmental damaged to be rectified at source and the polluter should pay.  Rights based approach to considering the social aspects of a project, by following the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, and the UN Universal Declaration on Human Rights.

The environmental and social performance standards ensure compliance with Bank requirements and include:

 Emission standards: projects should include measures to prevent, reduce or eliminate pollution that arises directly or indirectly from their activities.  Ambient standards: projects are required to ensure that they meet the relevant ambient standards, including national standards.  Procedural standards: e.g. projects for which the EIB requires an EIA, the process and content must be consistent with the requirements of the EU Directive.  Human rights: financing restricted to projects that respect human rights as defined by Charter of the Fundamental Rights of the European Union and international good practices.  Involuntary resettlement: people whose livelihoods are negatively affected by a project should have their livelihoods improved or at a minimum restored, and losses should be compensated for. Management of resettlement includes need for an Action Plan and culturally appropriate consultation of affected communities.  Indigenous people and other vulnerable groups: covers indigenous groups, ethnic minorities, women, migrants, the very young and the very old. The promoter should pay special attention to these groups when affected by the project.  ILO core labour standards: core labour standards are to be adhered to/reached during the project implementation.  Occupational and community health and safety: seeks to avoid and minimise risks and impacts to the health and safety of workers and communities.  Cultural heritage: respecting cultural heritage and not financing projects that threaten the integrity of sites that have a high level of protection for reasons of cultural heritage, e.g. UNESCO World Heritage sites.

Bangalore Metro Phase II: Environmental Impact Assessment for Gottigere – Nagavara Corridor 12

Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd.

 Consultation, participation and public disclosure: based on the Aarhus Regulation promoting transparency of environmental information and the inclusion of stakeholders in projects through consultation in order to identify and manage public concern at an early stage. Includes provisions for the public disclosure of key project information such as the Non-Technical Summary and the ESIA.  Biological diversity: reducing the biodiversity impacts of projects in line with core international conventions such as HELCOM, OSPAR and Ramsar.  Climate change: seeks to reduce contributions to climate change through energy efficiency measures, clean technology and promoting projects that lead to reductions in carbon emissions.

Environmental and Social Practices Handbook The Environmental and Social Practices Handbook (the Handbook) translates the environmental and social principles and standards described in the statement into the operational policies followed by EIB staff. It explains how Bank staff conducts routine work on environmental and social matters through the project cycle. Pre-appraisal stage  Identification of environmental and social issues  Screening according to different loan types  Categorisation of project according to severity of environmental and social impact  Identification of the legal requirements for project compliances  Assessment of the project’s climate change implications  Sharing of environmental information for the opinion of DG Environment  Publication on project website

Appraisal stage  Environmental and social assessment  Assessment of EIA process  Assessment of biodiversity and natural resource management  Climate change  Appraisal of social issues including Resettlement Framework and Resettlement  Action Plan  Appraisal of the environmental and social capacity of the promoter  Public consultation  Disclosure of information and documents  Final environmental and social impact rating  Identification of monitoring requirements

Monitoring stage  Follow-up during implementation and during operation

The Handbook also includes a range of Guidance Notes for use in the assessment of social impacts of a project covering:  Involuntary resettlement  Rights and interests of vulnerable groups  Labour standards  Occupational and community health and safety

3.4.3 Rolling Stock, Traction and Signalling

 2.88 m wide modern rolling stock with stainless steel body Standard Gauge.

 Axle load - 16 t

 Seating arrangement - Longitudinal

 Capacity of 3 Coach unit - 766 Passengers (with 6 Pas/Sqm)

 Class of accommodation - One

3.4.4 Passenger Carrying Capacity

In order to maximize the passenger carrying capacity, longitudinal seating arrangement shall be adopted. The whole train shall be vestibuled to distribute the passenger evenly in all the coaches. Criteria for the calculation of standing passengers are 3 persons per square meter of standing floor area in normal state and 6 persons in crush state of peak hour.

Therefore, for the Rail Vehicles with 2.88 m maximum width and longitudinal seat arrangement, conceptually the crush capacity of 43 seated, 210 standing thus a total of 253 passengers for a Driving Motor Car, and 50 seated, 230 standing thus a total of 280 for a trailer/motor car is envisaged.

Following train composition is recommended:

 6-car Train: DMC + TC + MC + MC + MTC + DMC

The Rolling Stock should be designed such that it should be possible to couple two independent 3 – car trainsets and operate them as a 6-car trainset.

3.5 CONSTRUCTION METHODOLOGY

 Elevated viaduct consisting of prestressed concrete “U” shaped Girders on Single pier/Portal with pile/Open foundations.

 Underground by tunneling through TBM/NATM, Stations by Cut & Cover. 3.6 COST ESTIMATES

The total completion cost of the proposed corridor is estimated at Rs. 11014.00 crore.

3.7 LAND REQUIREMENT

Since land is scarce commodity especially in metropolitan areas, every effort has been made to keep land requirement to the barest minimum and acquisition of the private property has been kept minimal. Land acquisition in the proposed project is of two types, one is for permanent usage and the other is for temporary usage. Permanent land is the land to be acquired throughout the life of the project it cannot be retrieved by the occupants. Temporary land is the land which is needed in addition to permanent land during construction phase. This can be retrieved by the occupant once the project is completed. Land is mainly required for route alignment, station buildings, platforms, entry/exist structures, traffic integration, power sub-stations, temporary construction depots / work sites and sick line facilities etc. In respect of lands from Gottigere to Cantonment, the land acquired would be 1, 63,407 sq. m.

3.8 TIMELINE FOR FUTURE IMPLEMENTATION

The construction works for elevated section are expected to commence by August 2017 and finish by July 2020. The construction work for underground section is expected to commence by November 2017 and finish by December 2020. The construction of depot is expected to commence by June 2017. The system works for elevated section (including integrated testing, commissioning and service trial) will be expected to finish by November 2020. For underground section, the system works (including integrated testing, commissioning and service trial) will be expected to finish by April 2021.The operation will be expected to start by May 2021.

CONSIDERATION OF ALTERNATIVES

4.1 CONTEXT

4.1.1 Context of Urban Development

Like any growing city, Bangalore has its share of concerns that need immediate attention. Provision of housing, civic amenities and alternate modes of transportation, protection of natural areas and supply of adequate infrastructure facilities are some of the concerns. Strategic planning with a focus on urban management, and a clear definition and coordination of institutional roles is essential.

The first step towards planning for development in Bangalore was initiated with the Outline Development Plan (ODP), prepared by the Bangalore Development Committee. The Town and Country Planning Act, 1961, was enacted to enable preparation of development plans for settlements in Karnataka.

The Bangalore Master Plan 2015 was prepared under KTCP Act. This Master Plan adopts an integrated approach in terms of economic, environmental and societal factors. The plan incorporates a more cyclical model that accord with the holistic principles of smart development and more prudent use of resources. The planning is more participatory, founded on the principles of collaboration and concerns building and scope of all stakeholders to be involved in decision making process. The planning methodology attempts to ensure that neighbourhoods, the city and the region accommodates growth in ways that are economically sound, environmentally responsible and socially supportive of community liveability, now and in future. The significant features of the Master Plan are – (i) Urban Integration, (ii) Industries and services, (iii) Informal Sector, (iv) Mixed use of land, (v) Housing and shelter, (vi) Transportation, (vii) Redevelopment of lakes and urban afforestation, (viii) Safe sanitation, (ix) Water supply, (x) Energy and power, (xi) Urban Community upgrading, (xii) Health and education, (xiii) Art and culture.

The Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) is in a process to prepare a Revised Master Plan 2031 for Bangalore. The plan considers land-use policy as a primary instrument to guide urban development. Other potential instruments include economic development, infrastructure and location policy, industrial, employment and investment policies.

4.1.2 Context of City Comprehensive Traffic and Transport Plan

The pangs of exceptionally rapid growth of Bangalore, further compounded by large scale migration from far flung areas, both intra state and inter-state, are now visibly affecting the quality of life. The rising growth of this metropolis has made it a growing consumption centre with demand rising for services which in turn has led to greater attraction for migrant population from all parts of the country. A study by Mckinsey (2012) places Bangalore as the second among the fastest growing 75 metropolises in the world in terms of per capita income, the other city in India being Delhi. Its inadequate road infrastructure and exponential increase of personal vehicles due to rise in income levels have combined to make local commuting a nightmare.

Bangalore Metro Phase II: Environmental Impact Assessment for Gottigere – Nagavara Corridor 21

Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd.

Several problems relating to traffic congestion and infrastructural obsolescence are surfacing menacingly, hampering its future development. The growth of demand for transport is so high that dependence on a particular mode of travel cannot meet these demands.

A study for preparing a Comprehensive Traffic and Transportation Plan (CTTP) for Bangalore was carried out in 2007 (by RITES Ltd, a Government of India Undertaking), to cover short, medium and long transport system requirements upto 2025. This CTTP has suggested an integrated multi-modal mass transport system plan indicating different mass transport systems on various corridors in order to cater to traffic up to the year 2025. The proposed CTTP for Bangalore contains the following types of proposals, which will cater to requirements of the projected travel demand up to the year 2025.

 Mass Transport System  Metro System  Monorail/LRT System  Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) System  Commuter Rail Services  City Bus System  Augmentation of Bus Fleet  Grid Routes  Bus Terminal cum Traffic & Transit Management Centres (TTMC)  Volvo Depot cum Traffic & Transit centre  New Bus Stations/bus shelters  Additional Depots  IT Infrastructure  HRD Infrastructure  Environmental Protect Projects  Inter-city Bus Termini  Transport Integration  Transport System Management Measures  Pedestrian/NMT Facilities  Footpaths  Skywalks/Subways  Pedestrian zones  Cycle Tracks  Road Development Plan  New Roads/Missing Links  Road Widenings  Grade Separators  Re-alignment of ORR  Parking Facilities  Integrated Freight Complexes CTTP also proposes the high traffic generating activities and high density (high FSI) zones should be realigned around mass transport nodes and along major transportation corridors.

Bangalore Metro Phase II: Environmental Impact Assessment for Gottigere – Nagavara Corridor 22

Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd.

The Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) has, in its draft Revised Master Plan 2031, estimated that the average traffic speed drop to 5 kmph by 2031 during peak hours and average 8 kmph during the day. Till 2008, Bangalore was the second worst city in the country with an average speed of 18 kmph. BDA has taken into consideration the expanded network of Metro services in the city, integrated services of Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) and Namma Metro. The BDA 2031 Plan insists there has been to be 211 km of Metro lines along light or mono rail and integration of all modes of public transport (Source: The Times of India, 6th February, 2017).

The above mentioned context indicates that there is need of metro system and land use pattern is necessary for urban transport planning. 4.2 ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES

The proposed corridor has been finalised after taking into account environmental and social concerns, considerations of traffic, integration with the existing system and importantly, the overall economic and financial viability. The underlying principles for evaluation for each corridor, without affecting the overall usefulness of the corridor, are:  Minimum private land acquisition,  Least disturbance to properties,  Minimum disturbance to people and  Minimum disturbance to ecology/ biodiversity. In the analysis of alternatives, a comparison of scenario with and without the project has also been made. Advantages and disadvantages have been spelt out and the analysis is quite exhaustive. The positive impacts of the chosen corridors are further elaborated in Chapter 8. These being the over-riding criteria, financial implications of these alternatives were not worked out. Selection Criteria Selection of Mode Due to the growing population and economic activities, the traffic problems in Bangalore have been aggravated. The limited road transport system of Bangalore is not able to handle the current traffic. So, Government of Karnataka had decided to implement the metro rail system in city. Traffic Model: Detailed Household surveys and various traffic surveys were carried out during the DPR study. The Transport Demand model was developed and the future OD- Matrices based on the projected Population and employment was developed. The Network for the proposed Gottigere – IIMB - Nagavara alignment has been developed from the same primary database and used in the Transport Demand Model. The Four Stage Transport Demand Model involving trip generation, Trip distribution, Modal Split and Assignment has been used. Bangalore Master Plan: Revised Master Plan-2015 for the BMA gives the likely growth to take place in various areas of the BMA. The population of the BMA is expected to grow from 61 lakh in 2001 (70 lakh in 2006) to 88 lakh in 2015 and 122 lakh in 2025. The plan also gives locations of various land uses such as residential, commercial, industrial, IT uses etc. The proposed growth of population and economy is expected to generate high travel demand. Transport network will also need to be augmented to cater to the expected travel demand.

Bangalore Metro Phase II: Environmental Impact Assessment for Gottigere – Nagavara Corridor 23

Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd.

Comprehensive Traffic & Transportation Plan (CTTP): One of the proposals of CTTP (2007) for Bangalore, which will cater to requirements of the projected travel demand up to the year 2025, is the metro rail system. The Phase 1 corridors may be able to give relief to the immediate traffic problems within the core areas and its immediate neighborhood but by the time the Master Plan proposals get implemented and development of areas beyond the outer ring road takes place in right earnest, the above system will fall short and a more extensive system will become necessary. This is especially true because the Master Plan 2015 and its detailed Zonal plans propose the development of around 814.4 Sq. Kms. of area for various urban uses. This brings very large spread of area on which various urban activities will take place. They would now be located right upto the Peripheral Ring Road in practically all directions and at a few places even beyond it. These activities include some with huge employment potential areas like the Electronic City in the east and southern portions of the BMA. It is therefore necessary that the Metro should get extended to the most of the high density centres. Therefore the Phase II corridors have been proposed. Selection of Alignment The proposed line starts from Gottigere in south and will be upto Nagavara in North. The Corridor traverses via Hulimavu, IIMB, J P Nagar-IV Phase, Jayadeva Hospital, Swagath Road Cross, Dairy Circle, MICO Industries on Bannerghatta road, Langford Town, Vellara on Hosur road, Brigade road, Kamaraj road, Infantry road, Central Street, Shivaji Nagar, Cantonment Railway Station, Millers road, Pottery Town, Tannery road and terminates at Nagavara. The length from Gottigere to short of Dairy Circle is Elevated and the stretch beyond, that is, from short of Dairy Circle to Nagavara is underground. Starting from Gottigere between Jigini area and IIMB as an Elevated Metro Rail, the 2nd N-S line passes through Hulimavu Station and traverses on the median of Bannerghatta road in front of IIMB where IIMB Metro Station is located. This serves the vast area around which has developed and is further developing with a number of world class Hospitals and Institutions with High rise apartments. From IIMB the line traverses mostly on Bannerghatta road median enveloping the J P Nagar, BTM Layouts and a large number of IT/BT centers and Trade Centres. Continuing as Elevated Metro Rail the alignment has to cross the road flyover on Marenahalli (South End) Road at higher level in the vicinity of Jayadeva Hospital where Jayadeva Hospital Metro Station is located. Here the alignment crosses the proposed R V Road – Electronic City – Bommasandra Metro Line at a higher level and continues on the median of Bannerghatta road on to Swagath Road Cross Metro Rail Station and further proceeds towards Dairy Circle flyover. Short of this flyover the alignment is taken to the underground on a ramp from the Fire Brigade area on the left side of Bannerghatta road. The Dairy Circle flyover is crossed in the underground suitably and then the Metro alignment continues further on, as underground line only in the entire stretch up to the end at Nagavara. Dairy Circle Station is located opposite to the Bangalore Dairy as an underground Station after crossing the Dairy Circle flyover. The underground alignment continues grazing the side of MICO Industries and crossing the big drain and on a curve taken on to the right turn followed by left turn and grazing the grave yard and reaches to the under side of Hosur road between the Military area and built up area of Missionaries and Schools/Colleges. From here the alignment traverses almost below the Hosur road crossing Richmond road at Vellara. After this the alignment traverses below Brigade road and crosses the M G Road underneath the Phase-I East-West Metro Rail line where a 50 M span is available on the Phase-I E-W line to reach Kamaraj road. Here the underground M. G. Road Integrated Station is planned which is about 50M from the Platform edge of existing Elevated M G Road Station of BM Phase-I and is connected through Escalators & Stairs.

The proposed City Airport Terminal (CAT) of HSRL at Police Grounds which is about 650M from this proposed M. G. Road Station which can be connected through shuttle Bus service. After M. G. Road station, the underground alignment crosses Cubbon road and takes a swift oblique left turn & traverses below barracks & buildings of Defence land and by the side of Infantry road and turns right to reach the Shivaji Nagar Bus-stand area. Here the Shivaji Nagar Metro Rail Station is planned in the open ground (Shivaji Nagar Stadium) behind the existing Shivaji Nagar Bus-stand and is integrated with it. Further the alignment traverses below the built up areas by the side of Queens Road and cuts across the Queens Road and then turns right to reach the front side car parking area of Bangalore Cantonment Railway Station. Here the Cantonment Railway Metro Station is planned. This station is integrated with the Bangalore Cantonment Railway Station. From here the alignment crosses below the Cantonment Railway Station area on to the Millers road, Nandi Durg road and traverses below Benson Town area and reach Pottery Town open ground area. Here the Pottery Town underground Station is planned (This station will be connected to the Netaji road through suitable under pass below the SWR line to provide access to the surrounding Frazer town areas). From here the underground alignment turns left to reach below the Tannery road and continues almost below the Tannery road and crosses the Salem Railway line and then Outer Ring Road (ORR) to reach the last Station of this line namely Nagavara, which is located immediately after the crossing of the ORR. The route length is 21.255 km (up to dead end) and there are 18 (06 Elevated + 12 Underground) Stations in this 2nd N-S line of Phase-II. Provision has been kept to extend the line later beyond Nagavara as Elevated line to whichever side it is required as the city is growing in these parts.

Selection of Above and Below Ground

The selection of above and underground depend on various factors. The reasons for selection of below ground (Diary Circle to Nagavara) are residential area along the alignment, thickly populated area, narrow roads and high property value. The reasons for selection of above ground (Diary Circle to Gottigere) are wider roads along the alignment, less property loss, less land acquisition and scope of widening the road (9-10 meter).

Selection of Station Locations

The selection of station locations follows standard practice of metros of approx. 1000 metre spacing. Stations vary in complexity along the route and have been located by an interactive process influenced by ridership forecasts, existing major settlements, major roads, interchange requirements with other modes of transport, station spacing, alignment, utilities, traffic and pedestrian requirements, station spacing, etc.

Selection of Depot and Stabling

The selection of depot is depending on various factors i.e. availability of land, technical feasibility and operational efficiency. The depot for Reach 6 has been proposed at Kothanur village where a depot-cum workshop for inspection, minor maintenance / repairs and overhauling is proposed to be established. One of the criteria for selection of depot is operational advantages. Simultaneous receipt and dispatch of trains from depot to main line is feasible in the present site scenario. Both of these activities will be done effectively without effecting the train operation on the main line. The depot can fit the entire R6 line from Gottigere to Nagavara for the required headway of 4 minutes.

4.3 NO DEVELOPMENT ALTERNATIVE

In case the proposed corridor is not constructed, the city will be deprived of the following benefits:

 Employment Opportunities,  Enhancement of Economy,  Mobility,  Safety,  Traffic Congestion Reduction, Reduction in Number of Buses,  Reduced Fuel Consumption,  Reduced Air Pollution,  Carbon Dioxide and Green House Gases (GHG) Reduction,  Saving in Road Infrastructure.

Since the positive impacts are more than a few negative impacts, consideration of ‘no development alternative’ is a non-starter and has thus not merited any further consideration.

APPROACH & METHODOLOGY

5.1 INTRODUCTION

The BMRCL has considered the different alternative. The final alternative was fixed based on Technical Feasibility, Socio-economic acceptability, and Environmental sustainability for Metro Corridors. The environmental study is carried out for the final alignment proposed by BMRCL. The approach is to follow the sequence of steps adopted in an EIA study. The basic concept is to ascertain the existing baseline conditions and assess the impacts as a result of construction and operation of the project. The changes likely to occur in different components of the environment viz. physical, biological / ecological, environmental and socio-economic etc. have been studied, analyzed and quantified, wherever possible. The identification of parameters for data generation and impact assessment are important. The accurate analysis of assessment depends upon the reliable data generated/ available on environmental attributed. The impacts are assessed for various phases of project cycle namely:

 Impacts due to project location,  Impacts due to project design,  Impacts due to project construction, and  Impacts due to project operation.

The impacts are categorized as negative and positive. The cost of management and monitoring programs were estimated and budgeted for. The approach for the study is presented in Figure 5.1.

The standard methodology for the data collection, impact assessment and formulation of management plans is adopted. The National Acts, Legislation and Laws along with EIB and AIIB guidelines were consulted with a view to ensure compliance with various requirements. The environmental baseline data have been collected and compiled for environmental attributes from primary and secondary sources. The primary sources include site visits, visual inspection, field studies, monitoring and analysis.

The secondary sources include the books, reports, maps and documents from various government and non-government organizations on subject matter. The methodology proposed to be adopted for data collection, impact analysis, preparation of environmental management and monitoring plans is highlighted in brief, in the following paragraphs. However, more elaborate methodology is present in the main text in the relevant sections. 5.2 DATA COLLECTION

The existing land-use pattern of the area has been identified manly as urban human settlements, roads, trees and water bodies. The soils parameters are studied from the field surveys conducted during this study.

Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. establish past air pollution and noise levels in the project area. The future air and noise quality were predicted using mathematical modeling.

Terrestrial Ecology were studied. The vegetation types were documented through the visual inspection, past research and filed investigations. 5.3 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT

The objective of the study is to assess the impacts as a result of construction of the BMRCL metro corridors along with depot and sub-stations. Based on project particulars and the existing environmental conditions, potential impacts were identified that are expected to be affected as a result of the proposed project and wherever possible, these are quantified. Both positive and negative impacts are evaluated to have an idea about resultant impacts. These impacts were assessed for various phases of project cycle namely, location, design, construction and operation. The standard methodology was adopted for impact prediction and assessment. Prediction is essentially a process to forecast the future environmental conditions in the project area that might be expected to occur. The prediction of impacts can be through mathematical modeling, overlays/ super imposition of activity, or comparison of impacts observed. The environmental impact of the project includes changes in land use, soil, erosion, water quality, air quality and noise levels etc. The impact on soils due to disposal of waste water and erosion during storms were predicted. The impact on water quality in the water bodies was evaluated with the help of water quality analysis. The burning issues such as Green House Gases (GHGs) and Climate Change were also studied. 5.4 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

The project will provide higher living standard, better quality of life, less travel time, better connectivity and transport facilities. The management plans are essential to ensure that stress/ loads on the systems are within carrying capacity. The management plan aims at maintaining the environmental quality of project area at-least in pre-project stage. An environmental management strategy/ plans were developed to mitigate the adverse impacts. Efforts are made to enhance the quality of environmental attributes. 5.5 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING

It is necessary to monitor during various phases of project cycles the environmental attributes. Monitoring would indicate any environmental problem, which has come up due to an ongoing activity. This will facilitate to assess the effectiveness of management / mitigation measures. A post project environmental monitoring program has been designed for implementation. The cost estimates for environmental monitoring and management have been included in the project estimates. 5.6 LIAISON WITH AUTHORITIES

For the preparation of this EIA, the project team and environmental experts have liaised with the Ministry of Environment and Forests, State Control Pollution Board etc. in order to discuss the proposed scope of the EIA, available data in the specific area on environmental attributes and general comments / observations that these authorities may have on the project and its environs. This consultation was performed even though legally it was not required but on voluntary basis. In addition, informal consultations were organized with individuals and nearby people, in order to present the project and collect their views on the perceived positive and negative impacts on the environment on account of this new development.

SPATIAL & TEMPORAL BOUNDARIES OF THE STUDY

6.1 SPATIAL

The EIA study covers the areas that are considered to be affected by Reach 6 corridor. Metro Phase I corridors are not included within the spatial scope of the study, although they are included within the cumulative effects assessment. 6.2 TEMPORAL

The EIA covers the social and environmental impacts related to the construction and operations of the proposed corridor. As the design phase was already well advanced by the time of the EIA study, impacts related to the design phase are not considered in detail. However, the section on alternative designs has assessed the alternative solutions that were under discussion during the design feasibility stage. A potential decommissioning phase is not considered relevant in this case, and is therefore outside the scope of the study.

BASELINE ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION

7.1 ENVIRONMENTAL SCOPING

The information presented in this chapter stems from various sources. The objective of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is to ascertain the baseline environmental conditions and then assess the impacts as a result of the proposed project during various phases of the project cycle. Identification of environmental parameters, data collection and impact predictions form the core of Environmental Impact Assessment process. Data on land environment has been collected and compiled from various reports and field surveys. The data on water quality, ground water hydrology, vegetation and fauna, air and noise quality was collected during field studies. Climatological data was collected from Indian Meteorological Department. Efforts have been made to compile the available data from literature, books, maps and reports. The methodology adopted for data collection is highlighted wherever necessary. The scoping was done at Detailed Project Report (DPR) stage. The DPR was prepared in 2011 and by Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Ltd.

Environmental Attributes and Frequency of Baseline Survey is presented in Table 7.1. A scoping matrix has been formulated to identify the attributes likely to be affected due to the proposed project and summarized in Table 7.2

7.2 ENVIRONMENTAL AND DEMOGRAPHIC FEATURES OF BANGALORE CITY

With the city spreading out in all directions and the population registering an unbridled growth, the city’s infrastructure in particular, the transport sector has not kept pace with the growing needs of the city and as a result, the city is plagued with innumerable problems, not the least being the problem of public mobility and severe air pollution levels among others. Realising the importance of an efficient intra-city transport system, the government has proposed the development of the metro rail transit facility for the Bangalore city, which when implemented would bring in the much needed relief to the travel weary commuter community of the city. As a part of the Environmental Impact Assessment of the metro rail project, the baseline environmental and demographic characteristics of the Bangalore city are presented in this section.

7.2.1 Topography Bangalore has two unique Topography terrains—North Bangalore taluk and the South Bangalore taluk. The North Bangalore taluk is a relatively more level plateau and lies between an average of 839 to 962 meters above sea level. The middle of the taluk has a prominent ridge running NNE-SSW. The highest point in the city, Doddabettahalli, (962m) is on this ridge. There are gentle slopes and valleys on either side of this ridge.

Bangalore Metro Phase II: Environmental Impact Assessment for Gottigere – Nagavara Corridor 36

Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd.

The low-lying area is marked by a series of water tanks varying in size from a small pond to those of considerable extent, but all fairly shallow. The topography of Bangalore is flat except for a central ridge running NNE-SSW. The highest point is Doddabettahalli, which is 962 m (3,156 ft) and lies on this ridge. No major rivers run through the city, though the Arkavathi and South Pennar cross paths at the Nandi Hills, 60 km (37 mi.) to the north. River Vrishabhavathi, a minor tributary of the Arkavathi, arises within the city at Basavanagudi and flows through the city. The rivers Arkavathi and Vrishabhavathi together carry much of Bangalore's sewage. A sewerage system, constructed in 1922, covers 215 km² (133 mi²) of the city and connects with five sewage treatment centers located in the periphery of Bangalore. The South Bangalore taluk has an uneven landscape with intermingling hills and valleys. The southern and western portions of the city consist of a topology of granite and gneissic masses. The eastern portion is a plane, with rare minor undulations. There are no major rivers flowing through the city. However, rivers Arkavathi and Kaveri merge within the proximity of Nandi Hills, which lie 60 km north of Bangalore. River Vrishabhavati, a tributary of Arkavathi, flows for a small stretch in the Bangalore North taluk and carries a bulk of the city's sewerage. The city has a handful of freshwater lakes and water tanks such as Madivala tank, Hebbal tank, Ulsoor lake and Sankey Tank. Groundwater occurs in silty to sandy layers of alluvial sediments and jointed quartzite.

The rock types prevalent in the district belong to the Saugar, Charnokite and Peninsular Gneissic Complex (PGC) groups. The PGC is the dominant group of rocks and covers two-thirds of the area and includes granites, gneissis and migmatites. The soils in Bangalore vary from red laterite to clayey soils.

7.2.2 Climate Bangalore has a tropical savanna climate with distinct wet and dry seasons. Due to its high elevation, Bangalore usually enjoys a more moderate climate throughout the year, although occasional heat waves can make summer somewhat uncomfortable. The coolest month is December with an average low temperature of 15.4 °C (59.7 °F) and the hottest month is April with an average high temperature of 35 °C (95 °F). The highest temperature ever recorded in Bangalore is 38.9 °C (102 °F) (recorded in March 1931). The lowest ever recorded is 7.8 °C (46 °F) in January 1884. Winter temperatures rarely drop below 14 °C (57 °F), and summer temperatures seldom exceed 36 °C (97 °F). Bangalore receives rainfall from both the northeast and the southwest monsoons and the wettest months are September, October and August, in that order. The summer heat is moderated by fairly frequent thunderstorms, which occasionally cause power outages and local flooding. The heaviest rainfall recorded in a 24-hour period is 179 millimetres (7 in) recorded on 1 October 1997.

7.2.3 Meteorology The site Meteorology has an important influence on the built up, diffusion and transportation of atmospheric pollutants, and therefore, the study of the meteorological parameters in the region assumes considerable importance. The India Meteorological Department (Government of India) operates a network of weather monitoring stations throughout the country and the meteorological data for Bangalore city is collected on regular basis at representative locations by the Bangalore unit of IMD. Secondary data from IMD Bangalore was collected for a host of meteorological parameters.

7.2.4 Water Balance From the available records, it is seen that Bangalore has no water surplus in any month. The excess of rainfall over evapotranspirational demands from August to November is hardly sufficient even to replenish the soil reservoir; with the result that there is no saturation of the soil climatically and therefore there is no surplus moisture for contribution to sustained stream flow.

7.2.5 Wind Parameters Wind speed and wind direction play a major role in the dispersion of air pollutants. The stronger the winds the greater will be the dilution and dissipation of pollutants. The surface winds over Bangalore have a fairly clear-cut seasonal character with Eastern wind component predominating in one period and Western wind component in the other, with a dominant Western wind direction. In the three year observations (1999, 2000, 2001) the Eastern winds were mostly less than 4 m/s, while the western winds reported more than 4 m/s. The other prominent wind directions observed were West-West South (WWS) and West-West North (WWN). During the period may to September, the winds are WSW to W while during the period November to March, they are ENE to ESE.

7.2.6 Demographic Aspects of Bangalore City The demographic base of Bangalore is distinct in terms of overall size and features. The population of Bangalore has been growing at about 3.65% per annum since 1901 (Table 7.4). The city, which had a population of 1.63 lakh in 1901, reached a figure of 84.26 lakh in 2011. With decadal growth rate of about 65% during 2001-11, Bangalore is one of the fastest-growing Indian metropolises. Within the growth story of Bangalore’s population during the last 110 years, three decades, one during 1941-51, second one during 1971-81 and the third one during 2001-11, showed significant spur in population growth. During 1941-51, the population grew at 6.7% annually with a decadal growth rate of 91.2%.

Table 7.4: Population Growth in Bangalore Year Population (lakhs) Decadal Growth (%) Annual Growth (%) 1901 1.63 -9.58 -1.00 1911 1.89 15.95 1.49 1921 2.40 26.98 2.42 1931 3.10 29.17 2.59 1941 4.11 32.58 2.86 1951 7.86 91.24 6.70 1961 12.07 53.56 4.38 1971 16.64 37.86 3.26 1981 29.22 75.60 5.79 1991 41.30 41.34 3.52 2001 51.01 23.51 2.10 2011 84.26 65.18 5.15 Overall Annual Growth over last 110 years (%) 3.65%

Similarly, the second spur happened during 1971-81 with an annual population growth rate of 5.8% resulting in decadal growth of 75.6%. During 2001-11, again significantly, the population grew annually at 5.15% with a decadal growth of about 65%. Post 1991, Bangalore’s population is growing annually at 3.63% mainly due to the prominence of information technology resulting in strong in-flow of migrants, particularly educated youth.

Bangalore city has a land area of 741 km2 and uses much of its land for housing, industry and parks. During the last decade, Bangalore’s population grew by 65.2%, which is one of the highest in India. A key feature of population growth in Bangalore is that most of the growth is occurring in the surrounding areas. The population density of Bangalore has increased from about 6,884 persons/km2 in 2001 to 11,371 persons/km2 in 2011, registering a decadal increase of 65%. Such an increase necessitates radical changes in long term planning and significant investments for improved service delivery. It is an undesirable trend that the sex ratio has declined from 930 in 2001 to 914 in 2011. This may be partially due to the dominant male migration, for job opportunities, happening during the last decade.

7.2.7 Geology The area is geologically famous due to the Charnockitisation of the gneisses (pitchamuthu 1969). The rock types exposed in the district belong to Saugar group, Peninsular gneissic Complex (PGC), Charnockite group, Closepet Granite and basic and younger intrusive. Charnockite group is represented by Charnockite, Saugar. Group comprises ultramafic rocks, amphibolites. Quartzite, banded magnetite quartzite occurring as small bands and lenses within the migmatites and gneises. The PGC is the dominant unit, and covers about two third of area of the district, which includes granites, gneisses and magmatites that occur to the east and west of Closepet Granite. Transformation of PGC, into charnockite is reported locally in the area. The closepet granites occurs as an intrusive body tending nearly N-S within the gneisses, over a distance of 50 kms and with a width of 15-20 km. It comprises grey and pink granite (both equigranular and porphyritic varieties), pink hornblende granite and magmatite. The closepet granite contains enclaves of magmatites, gneisses, quartxite and amphibolites; it is reported to be of variable composition.

The basic intrusive are represented by dolerite, gabboro, occasionally norite and pyroxenite. Dolerite is dominat among the basic dykes. They occur in two prominent trends i.e. N-S and E-W to ESE-WSW, cutting across all the older rocks. Pyroxenite dykes occur NW of Doddaballapur (130 18 – 770 32). The other intrusive include felsites, felsites porphyry, lamprophyre and occasionally ultrapotassic rock occurs in the southern part of the district. Quartz and pegmatite veins also occur in the area. A number of isolated lateritic cappings occur over the PGC in the northeastern part of the district, at a preferred height of about 720m. Gneisses and migmatites of PGC 9Archaean) which range in age from 2900 to 2500 million years. Closepet Granite is intruded into the older rocks during late Archaean i.e. about 2500 million years ago. The lower Proterozoic basic dykes are dated at 2400 million years and the upper Proterozoic dykes such as felsites, felsites porphery and lamprophyre are the youngest intrusive and are dated at 800 million years.

Hydrogeology

The hydro-geological map of Bangalore district is presented below. Geomorphologically the area can be divided into uplands, plateaus and pediplains. The major part of the district is covered by denudational plateaus and pediment – pediplain covered by NNE – SSW trending hills and the intermittent plains. Isolated granite hills constitute hog – backs. Laterite covered flat topped hills in the northeastern part from plateaus.

7.2.8 Land Use Pattern The term land use is generally adopted to man man’s activities, which are directly related to the use of land as resource. Land use can be defined as an activity or development, which occupies land, for the specific purpose. It is not essential to define all aspects of land usage in Bangalore for the purpose of this report. As part of baseline survey, location specific data have been generated. As the proposed Metro Rail Project is likely to bring about a chance in the existing land use pattern to some extent, it is important to record the present situation related to land use aspects.

There is substantial development in the North of Bangalore comprising of Banaswadi, Peenya Industrial Estate, Yashwantpur, Yelahanka and Bangalore International Airport. Banaswadi has many software companies, while Peenya is famous for manufacturing machine tools and it is one of the oldest and largest industrial areas in South-East Asia. The road from Bellary road to Yelahanka is witnessing rapid residential development. The trend is expected to remain positive in the area with development of International Airport acting as a catalyst for further growth. There are large IT companies like Hewlett Packard, Infosys, Siemens and Wipro etc in Electronic City which is spread in an area of 332 acres in South. Sarjapur road is another promising area for industrial growth in the south of the city. Jaynagar, J.P Nagar, BTM layout are the areas adjoining to Electronic city developed primarily as residential areas.

East of Bangalore has grown till Whitefield and rapidly developing as a commercial area. Though the connectivity is not sufficient, initiatives were taken place by the government in the form of over bridges, underpass, road widened activities may not sufficient. Kormangala, Indiranagar and Hosur road are the prime areas. West of Bangalore has predominantly been the residential focus with prime areas being Rajajinagar, Vijayanagar, Basaveswarnagar, Magadi road. It is mainly comprised of residential areas. There is a massive population growth in North-East and in the South of the city along Hosur Road and Whitefield Road in the East.

7.2.9 Transport Scenario in Bangalore The rapid growth of the Bangalore City and urbanisation on a large scale, have had many compounding impacts on the City in various sectors such as land resources, water and air pollution, transportation, communication, social health etc. However, the most dramatic factor was the large scale increase in vehicle population to cater the transportation needs of Bangalore Community covering different economic strata. Unlike its counterpart cities like Chennai, Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, the Bangalore Metropolitan Area continues to be plagued for want of a reliable, time saving, efficient, utilitarian, eco-friendly and commuter-friendly Mass Rapid Transport System (MRTS). As a result, the bulk of the city community has to rely largely on the BMTC operated buses and personal vehicles like 2-wheelers/4 wheelers or hired 3-wheeler auto rickshaws.

Grand Total(Trans + Non-Trans) 61,08,936 100.00 Consequent on the unprecedented growth of Bangalore city in the last decade and continuing growth presently, thanks to the promotion of Bangalore City as the Information Technology hub for the whole country by the Government and Multinationals - there is a heavy migration of both intelligentsia and the labour groups from rest of the country. As a result, Bangalore city is growing a pace, spreading itself to far-flung areas with a tremendous rise in population density throughout the metropolitan area. Consequently, there is an acute demand for a whole range of civic services, the most conspicuous among them being in the transportation sector.

While the Government is trying to do its best in this sector, the woes of the travelling pubic continues to rise, due to the very inadequacy of a sound public transportation facility for a six million population size. As a direct consequence, a large chunk of population has resorted to transportation by private two wheelers or hired three wheelers or four wheelers leading to a chaotic growth in private vehicle population, particularly of the two wheeler category as evident from the vehicle population data for Bangalore City (Table 7.8). The registered motor vehicles of Bangalore city for the last four years are given in Annexure 2. According to the information available with Regional Transport Office, Bangalore Division, the total number of registered vehicles in the city during 1976-77 was 1,08,437 and 7,06,382 in 1992-93 and currently (2015-16), the number of vehicles registered has increased to 61,08,963 The number of registered two wheelers in 1976-77 was 62,199 which shot up to 5,38,962 in 1992-93 and in 2015-16 the number has further gone up to 42,19,709. The share of registered two wheelers is about 69%.

Transportation Network

The increase in the volume of vehicular traffic has caused saturation of the urban road network of Bangalore, and the road intersections are getting choked due to conflicting traffic movements in the City. Moreover, the city road network has a very large number of intersections per unit length of the road network. This has necessitated the authorities to plan comprehensive traffic management plans to improve the major and more critical road intersections and consequently improve the traffic flow conditions on the urban street network.

The most organized transportation network is the City Bus Service provided by Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation. This has been dealt in greater detail later. Private participation in the intra city transport is prohibited by law and hence there are no private organized city service operators. In the absence of Mass Rapid Transport, a number of commuters prefer to ride their own vehicles. This explains the prolific growth and predominance of scooters and motor bikes. The auto rickshaw, a three wheeler, is the most important mode of private city transport.

Traffic Density and Congestion

Traffic congestion in Bangalore is largely attributed to the smaller roads and a number of road intersections. Every road intersection leads to a delay of 1 to 3 minutes. The Karnataka Road Development Corporation Limited (KRDCL) the nodal agency, has identified five major traffic areas and a total of 106 intersections spread over these five areas (Table 7.9). Efforts are being made by BDA and BMC to create flyovers at major junctions and some progress has been achieved so far in this regard. However the notable flyovers are on Mysore Road and Richmond Circle. The grade separator at Mekhri circle has avoided the intersection congestion to a great extent but not fully in this part. The studies of the Traffic Police Cell and KRDCL at many of these intersections recorded Peak Hour Service Volumes over 10,000 PSV. The derived Congestion Index, which is the ratio of the peak hour volume and practical capacity of the road, indicates that at many intersections the congestion index exceeds far above the value of 1.0. The congestion index in some of the highly critical road links in the City areas are given in Table 7.10.

Bus Facility Network Operated by Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation

Starting with a small fleet of buses in the 1950’s, Bangalore City continues to be served by an expanded network of buses operated by the Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC), a public sector undertaking fully owned by Government of Karnataka. With the nationalization of buses and routes in 1969, the scope for private participation in organized city bus service sectors was taken out.

Bangalore Metro Phase II: Environmental Impact Assessment for Gottigere – Nagavara Corridor 50

Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd.

With the expansion of the city, the fleet strength of BMTC has also expanded. But, the expansion is not proportionate to the real needs of the commuting public. The city bus service, continues to be dissatisfactory due to problems like slow movement, inadequacy of road width, large number of junction points, overcrowding, lack of reliability and comfort and want of user-friendliness etc. As the BMTC bus network is the most vital and important mass transport system available for the city as of now, this subject has been discussed here in some detail.

The particulars and operational features relating to BMTC are given in Tables 7.11 to 7.12. From the Table 7.11, it can be seen that BMTC is performing at its peak capacity to serve the transport needs of the city by adding more buses to its fleet endowed with higher fuel efficiency and higher vehicle utilization and total kms travelled. Fleet expansion has been accorded prime importance in recent times. Apart from introducing new buses, even the private operators can provide buses to BMTC to be used by the latter as contract carriages. Very recently, high capacity VOLVO buses have been introduced with passenger capacity at 110, which is twice that of normal buses. Even the fleet has been classified into two categories, viz., ordinary buses and Janapriya Vahinis with minor value addition.

7.2.10 Status of Road Accidents With rapid growth population and concomitant growth of vehicle population, the congestion on the roads is common and accidents have become inevitable in Bangalore City. One has to take a closer look at the pattern of road accidents, the nature of vehicles involved and the peak traffic days. The details of road accidents in Bangalore city for the years 2006 to 2016 are given in the Table 7.13. There is a continuous increase in the number of accidents in the city and on an average two persons are being killed on the roads of Bangalore city every day. Apart from being a social loss, the loss to state economy has to be recognized. Accidents have also to be recognized and emerged as the biggest cause of untimely deaths in Bangalore.

7.2.11 Traffic Study along the Proposed Alignment Traffic in study area has become a serious problem due to increase in population leading to increased number of vehicles on road. Hence the present study emphasis on Traffic Studies along the proposed alignment. The vehicles on road have led to increasing congestion levels in the city and it is being observed that many roads are operating beyond their designed capacity. Hence a classified traffic volume count survey has been conducted at the selected locations by trained enumerators for 12 hours from 08.00 am to 08.00 pm on working days. The vehicle data has been collected in 15 minutes time interval as per the vehicle classification mentioned by Indian Road Congress (IRC). Though the survey was conducted for 12 hrs, peak hour traffic details are considered to assess the congestion index of each alignment because the traffic congestion on roads is at its highest.

The composition of traffic in the proposed alignment is presented in Table 7.14. The traffic compositions of light motor vehicles are found to be high in almost all roads.

Bannerghatta Road is the preferred access to reach Bannerghatta National Park and city outskirts like Jigini and Anekal. The national park is rich in natural zoological reserves hence it has added onto tourist attraction. There are many software companies, institutions and super specialty hospitals along the alignment.

It is observed that, two wheelers density is more dominated in the proposed alignment ranging from 38 % to 59 %. The vehicular density at Hosur Road near Baldwin Boys School is high because this is the only route for North Bangalore towards Bannerghatta.

Overall, 2 wheelers and 4 wheelers are more dominant when compared to other vehicles on road. It is observed that, trucks are found to be less in this alignment because it is restricted in city core areas. There is still glimpse of usage of bicycles in highly populated area and in city outskirts. The variation in traffic is observed in the roads and

Bangalore Metro Phase II: Environmental Impact Assessment for Gottigere – Nagavara Corridor 53

Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. this depends on various factors such as human behavior, design service volume, importance of the area and deviations of traffic towards adjoining areas based on their importance of activities. These increasing number of vehicles leads to traffic congestion. Traffic congestion is the key issue of the city. Hence evaluating the congestion index will give a correct picture as to which road is congested and the necessity of alternative modes.

To evaluate the congestion index for the proposed corridor, the design volume of the road and the maximum capacity of the road have been considered. The Congestion Index (CI) was worked out for the proposed alignment and presented in Table 7.15.

The Designed Service Volume and the Maximum Capacity of the road have been considered based on the type of carriageway and category of road as mentioned in IRC: 106-1990 – “Guidelines for Capacity of Urban Roads in Plain Areas”. The data indicates the present CI on the Design Service Volume and Maximum Capacity of the roads.

Table 7.15: Congestion Index for the Proposed Alignment Congestion Index (CI) Peak Hour Designed Maximum Based on Traffic Service Location Capacity Design Volume in Volume Maximum PCU Service PCU PCU Capacity Volume 1 VC-1 5602 3600 1.56 1.09 2 VC-2 7071 3600 1.96 1.37 3 VC-3 3488 1500 2.33 1.63 Note: PCU – Passengers Car Unit

As per the CI results, the traffic survey locations viz., Shopper Stop at Bannerghatta Road (VC-1), Baldwin Boys School at Hosur Road (VC-2) and DJ Halli Bus Stop at Tannery Road (VC-3) exceeded the congestion index limit. This clearly indicates that the road is not sufficient to cater any more vehicular population. Overall, the entire road stretch is overcrowded by vehicles with higher congestion index shows prime necessary of Metro transport system. 7.3 BASELINE ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY STUDIES

7.3.1 General The baseline environmental status of the project area is essential to assess the impacts on the neighbouring environment. The study consist of field studies to ascertain the present baseline environmental conditions such as air, noise, traffic, water, soil, socioeconomic, flora and fauna. It also includes literature review in the disciplines of physiography, geology, minerals, soils, seismicity, rainfall, temperature, humidity and land use of the project area. The secondary data on physiography, geology, minerals, soils, seismicity, rainfall, temperature, humidity and land use of the project area was collected from various sources and presented below.

7.3.2 Physiography The project area comprises of urban and semi-urban areas of Bangalore city. The average elevation of Bangalore is 920 m above MSL covering an area of about 750 sq km. The city lies between 12.97°N and 77.56°E. The city is bounded by Kolar District in the northeast direction, Chikballapur District in the north, Tumkur District in the northwest,

Bangalore Metro Phase II: Environmental Impact Assessment for Gottigere – Nagavara Corridor 54

Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd.

Mandya District in the southwest, Ramanagaram District in the south and the neighboring state of Tamil Nadu in the southeast. The city is generally flat, but it has a prominent ridge in North East and South West. Northern part of the project area is relatively more level plateau. Southern part represents uneven landscape with rocky features raising from 30-70 meters above ground level. Eastern part of the project area is almost plain with minor undulations. The highest point measured is Doddabettahalli, which is 962 m and lies above this ridge. There is no river flowing in the city, only few freshwater lakes and water tanks existing within the city serve as source of groundwater recharge. Some of the important lakes are Madivala Tank, Hebbal Lake, Ulsoor Lake, Sankey Tank etc.

7.3.3 Geology & Minerals The geology of the city is unique having various types of rock such as granites, gneisses and migmatites found in the area. The area has mature topography with scattered isolated hillocks around, where rocks are exposed. The rock type exposed in the district belongs to Saugar Group, Charnockite Group, Peninsular Gneissic Complex (PGC), Closepet granite and basic younger intrusive. Saugar group comprises ultramorphic rocks, amphibolites, Quartzite banded magnetites, quartzite occurring as small bands and lenses within the magmatites and gneisses. PGC is the dominant unit and covers about two- thirds of the area, which includes granites, gneisses and magmatites. The bed rocks essentially consist of granites and gneisses intruded by number of basic dykes.

7.3.4 Soils The project area has Red Loamy and Laterite soils. Red loamy soils is mainly seen in the eastern and southern parts of Bangalore north and south taluks. It generally occurs on hilly to undulating landscape on granite and gneissic terrain. Laterite soils are mainly covered in Anekal taluk and western parts of Bangalore North and South taluks. Laterite soils occur on undulating terrain forming plain to gently sloping topography of peninsular gneissic region.

7.3.5 Seismicity The study area has no major threat of an earthquake because it is located in seismically stable zone (Zone II). The city has generally remained untouched by major seismic activity but only mild tremors have been recorded occasionally to till date as per records of Directorate of Mines and Geology, Government of Karnataka and Bhabha Atomic Research Centre.

7.3.6 Land Use / Land Cover There is substantial development in the North of Bangalore comprising of Banaswadi, Peenya Industrial Estate, Yashwantpur, Yelahanka and Bangalore International Airport. Banaswadi has many software companies, while Peenya is famous for manufacturing machine tools and it is one of the oldest and largest industrial areas in South-East Asia. The road from Bellary road to Yelahanka is witnessing rapid residential development. The trend is expected to remain positive in the area with development of International Airport acting as a catalyst for further growth. There are large IT companies like Hewlett Packard, Infosys, Siemens and Wipro etc in Electronic City which is spread in an area of 332 acres in South. Sarjapur road is another promising area for industrial growth in the south of the city. Jaynagar, J.P Nagar, BTM layout are the areas adjoining to Electronic city developed primarily as residential areas.

East of Bangalore has grown till Whitefield and rapidly developing as a commercial area. Though the connectivity is not sufficient, initiatives were taken place by the government in the form of over bridges, underpass, road widened activities may not sufficient. Kormangala, Indiranagar and Hosur road are the prime areas. West of Bangalore has predominantly been the residential focus with prime areas being Rajajinagar, Vijayanagar, Basaveswarnagar, Magadi road. It is mainly comprised of residential areas. There is a massive population growth in North-East and in the South of the city along Hosur Road and Whitefield Road in the East.

The land use pattern of the city depicts how various physical, social, economic factors have influenced the change over the past decades and the existing land use is essential for future planning of the project. Since the project is situated in the states capital, the core area of the city consists of administrative offices and it is also a traditional business areas. The land use status of city indicates that about 42 % area is used for residential purposes, 22 % land area is utilized for roads and 12 % land utilized for commercial purpose and rest area is covered by parks, water bodies, open spaces etc. The area is covered under residential and roads include large number of avenues.

7.3.7 Meteorological Data Meteorological data has been collected from Indian Meteorological Data Centre (IMD), Bangalore. The data recorded reveals that, the total annual rainfall in year 2008 is about 1286.6 mm. The annual maximum temperature ranges from 27.3°C to 34.1°C and minimum temperature ranges from 16.1°C to 21.6°C. The highest humidity of 89% was recorded during the month of August, while the lowest of about 69% was recorded during the month of March.

The wind rose diagrams available for the period 1982-91 shows that easterly winds dominated over the months of December, January and February while, the westerly winds dominated over the months of May to July. The wind rose diagrams are given for day and night observations in Fig 7.7 and Fig. 7.8. During the year, the month of March appears to have maximum number of calm periods (30% frequency) while, the months of June, July and December recorded the least calm periods (3% each). The dominate wind speed during the morning observation period is in the range of 6 –11 km/hr, predominantly of an east-west direction. In the evening observation period, slightly increased wind speeds, ranging from 7–13 km/hr.

7.3.8 Ambient Air Quality The existing levels of ambient air quality parameters were assessed at various representative locations along the proposed alignment for Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM), Respirable Particulate Matter (RPM), Sulphur dioxide (SO2), Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) and Carbon Monoxide (CO).

Respirable Dust Sampler 460 BL was deployed to monitor RPM, SPM, SO2 and NOx. The sampler was placed to obtain 8 hourly average values of the above said parameters in the month of June - July 2009. The parameters were monitored and analyzed as per CPCB (Central Pollution Control Board) and NAQM (National Ambient Air Quality) standards.

One grab sample was collected at each ambient air quality monitoring station for analyzing CO and the spot concentration of CO was recorded using Indicator Tube Technique. The results of air quality measured in the study area in comparison with NAAQ standards are given in Table 7.16 and Figure 7.9.

Air monitoring results clearly shows that, most of the monitoring locations in the proposed alignment were found to exceed the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). It is observed that, suspended and respirable particulate matter has been exceeded in most of the locations when compared to National Standards. The increased RPM and SPM is due to vehicular pollution which is increasing exponentially along the proposed alignment and bad maintenance of roads also influenced the rise in air pollutants. Monitoring locations are given in Map below.

The booming industries, software companies on Bannerghatta Road have indirectly influenced very higher concentration of RPM and SPM. However, the concentration of SO2 and NOx is below permissible limits in sampling locations. The Bharat Stage-III emission norms have been introduced during 2005 drastically reduce SO2 level in subsequent years. The decreased levels of NOx are due to banning of old vehicles in recent days, better traffic management, introduction of improved vehicular technology, etc. The concentration of CO was slightly higher at Richmond circle in compared to

NAAQS Standards.

Air Quality Index (AQI) was characterized to know the quality of air at different locations. The higher the AQI value, greater is the level of air pollution and leads to greater damage to health. The air quality index and the criteria assigned to each index is depicted in Table 7.17 and Table 7.18.

It is observed that air quality index in almost all locations exceed 100 which fall under the category of “Severe Air Pollution”. Therefore, immediate attention is required to reduce air pollutants at the city area.

7.3.9 Noise Quality The ambient noise levels were recorded at appropriate locations with a time interval of about 30 minutes using Sound Level Meter as per IS:4954 and procedures of CPCB. Noise source often fluctuates widely during a given period of time hence, Equivalent Noise Levels (Leq) is essential to assess the impact. Equivalent noise levels were computed with the help of Lday and Lnight of the study area. Lday is defined noise level measured over a period of 16 hours during day (6 am to 10 pm). Lnight is defined as

Bangalore Metro Phase II: Environmental Impact Assessment for Gottigere – Nagavara Corridor 60

Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. noise level measured over a period of 8 hours during night (10 pm to 6 am) in the month of June - July 2009. The noise levels measured are given in Table 7.19.

It is observed that noise equivalent levels along the proposed Phase II North - South alignment varied in the range 74.5 – 79.5 dB (A) in the day time and 68.3 – 72.6 dB (A) during night time. The increased noise level in the study area is mainly due to commercial activities and vehicular movement round the clock. It is found that, noise levels in all the stations exceeded the permissible ambient noise levels. In addition, most of the locations even exceeded the industrial area standard limits also. The noise pollution norms are given in Annexure 7.

7.3.10 Water Quality The Ground water samples were collected from borewells at different locations along the proposed alignment for analysis of Physico-chemical characteristics. The collected samples were analysed as per the CPCB drinking water standards. The Physico-chemical characteristics of ground water samples collected are summarized in Table 7.20.

Table 7.20: Physico-chemical Characteristics of Ground Water along the Proposed Alignment CPCB Limits Parameters Observed range (Drinking water) pH 6.95 - 7.51 6.5-8.5 Total Chlorides (mg/l) 112.14 – 265 250 Total Hardness (mg/l) 105.6 – 221 300 Calcium as Ca (mg/l) 35.27 – 60.74 75 Magnesium as Mg (mg/l) 13.15 – 32.14 30 Sulphate as SO4 (mg/l) 8.75 – 28.65 200 Nitrate as NO3 (mg/l) 11.25 – 20.33 45 Total Dissolved Solids (mg/l) 415 – 518 500

The ground water samples were collected in the proposed alignment shows that, most of the parameters analyzed were below the CPCB standards. However, the total Chlorides, Magnesium and Total Dissolved Solids are slightly higher in compare to CPCB standards. This may be due to industrial and high domestic discharge may lead to ground water contamination at city area. There is no lake nearing to the alignment hence Physico-chemical characteristics of surface water was omitted.

7.3.11 Soil Quality

The surface soil samples from a depth of 0 - 20 cm were collected along the proposed alignment and collected samples were analysed for soil physico-chemical properties (Table 7.21).

The bulk density of soils ranged from 1.25 - 1.63 g/cm³. Thus, the porosity and water holding capacity also varied largely and found in the range of 38.1 - 51.7 % and 40.5 - 50.3 % respectively. The soil pH ranges from 6.21 - 7.89 while Electrical Conductivity (EC) ranges from 0.321 – 0.885 dS/m. The soil organic matter, measured in terms of Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) is very important from the point of soil health as it regulates soil physical, chemical and biological properties. The soil organic carbon was found in the range of 0.23 - 0.46 per cent. Slightly lesser range of organic carbon may be due to degradation of land from urban infrastructure activities and varied to a great extent depending on the land use. Similarly, the available N, P2O2 and K2O are also in lesser range compare to productive soils.

7.3.12 Green Cover Assessment

Bangalore city has the dubious distinction of being one of the fastest growing Metropolitan cities in Asia. Despite this fast growth, Bangalore is still known as the ‘Garden City of India’ with well-planned parks and huge green spaces dot the city landscape, which is scattered over the city vast spread out areas. The city is continuously growing further with the surrounding villages and towns being absorbed into the city limits following the creation of Greater Bangalore. This has led to large scale conversion of agricultural lands, lakes and tanks to urban areas rapidly thus adversely affecting the environment and ecosystem of the city and the immediate fringe areas.

Green cover assessment study has been carried out to record the plant species existing all along the proposed Metro rail alignment. The trees from the central line of the alignment at varying distance viz. 0-5 m and 5-10 m was recorded. The trees present at a distance of 19 m from the central line and 140 m length was recorded for the proposed elevated stations. At underground stations trees were monitored at a distance of 20 m from the central line and 200 m length of the station corridor.

The trees likely to be cut or trimmed due to Metro rail alignment were identified. The girth of the tree was measured at a height of 1.3 m above ground and the height of the tree was measured through visual observation. Canopy cover was calculated by measuring the length of the longest branch in all the four directions (CEE, 1994). The tree biomass was estimated using Regression Equations available for each species.

7.3.13 Baseline Tree Resources

There is no forest area existing along the proposed alignment. The green cover on either side of the alignment was assessed and trees to be affected were identified and recorded. Furthermore, the tree species girth and approximate height was recorded and biomass has been quantified. Tree population for the proposed alignment is given in Table 7.22.

Table 7.22: Overall Affected Trees along the Alignment No. of trees to be Locations cut Elevated Section 438 Underground Section 252 Total 690 A total of 690 trees will have to be cut in proposed alignment where 438 trees are in elevated section and 252 trees are in underground section. Since, maximum trees are going to be affected at stations; the station area will be restricted as per the minimum land requirement. However, compensatory afforestation will be taken care without any much damage to ecosystem.

The depot for the corridor has been planned at southern end at Kothanur where 33 acres of land have been acquired. The major impacts of depot would be - land acquisition and noise pollution. The proposed depot will affect 120 trees.

7.3.14 Cultural or Archaeological Assets

The proposed corridor does not involve any loss of cultural or archaeological assets.

Bangalore Metro Phase II: Environmental Impact Assessment for Gottigere – Nagavara Corridor 63

Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd.

7.3.15 Socio Economic Assessment

The proposed alignment runs on existing road dissecting developed areas in the city. People tend to loose their property or other assets leading to legal and political sensitivities. As a part of the study, socio-economic survey was conducted in residential and commercial areas along the alignment through questionnaire to assess the impacts on socio economic status of the people and their perception about the proposed project. This survey was carried out on people living within (20m) Right of Way (ROW). The perception of people was summarized. The questionnaire for socio-economic survey has been given in Annexure 12. Socio economic survey and public consultation were done in Detailed Project Report (DPR) stage. The DPR was prepared in 2011 and by Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Ltd.

According to the inception conducted in the proposed alignment a few commercial structures, educational institutions and a few residential structures are partially affected. The alignment is designed in such a way that most of the open lands and/or service roads and/or road median have been utilized rather than structures. In addition, proper planning of underground alignment will also reduce any major property loss.

Features Identified along the Alignment

The alignment starting from Gottigere upto Bangalore Dairy Circle is flooded with software companies, commercial areas and few super specialty hospitals. The rail track is at the centre of the existing road; hence shoulder area of the road will be acquired. The alignment from the center of the road moves gradually to the left end at the location where Jayadeva and dairy circle flyover premises. There are a few shops which are likely to be affected due to the change in the alignment.

As the alignment moves beyond Dairy Circle Flyover near Laljinagar the road is narrower ahead upto Nagavara. In addition to the road being narrower, it is also populated. To avoid any bigger loss of properties, the proposed alignment is planned maximum at underground.

Features Identified along the Stations

There are 18 stations in this alignment. Most of the stations are planned on service road and open land. Out of the 18 stations, 06 are elevated while 12 are underground. The underground stations will reduce the land acquisition and tree felling at considerable extent. The underground stretch starts near Bangalore Dairy Company and terminates near to Nagavara junction.

Socio Economic Profile of the PAPs

The proposed alignment require narrow strip of land if the road width is insufficient for Metro rail. Hence the project neither displaces scattered populations nor relocates community. It is observed that most of the people along the alignment are of residential and commercial sectors while few are industrial, institutions and religious places. Residential and commercial sectors are matter of concern as the narrow strip of land being acquired by project is of great value in terms of their livelihood. Industries or Institutions will not be much affected as the narrow strip of land is found to be either compound wall or open land. The acquisition of religious sector will lead to sensitive issues among community. In view of this impact, DMRC has proposed the alignment to be underground approximately about 14.50 km to avoid land acquisition and tree felling.

Perception of PAPs (Rehabilitation & Resettlement)

The perception of the people collected by personal interview covering three areas based on the intensity of impacts and the following inferences were observed. People along the alignment from IIMB to Dairy Circle flyover supported the project as they understood the project requirement. Directly affected people residing near the ramp area at Tannery road did not fully favour on the proposed Metro is due to their land acquisition. However, people residing above the underground stretch had a mixed opinion. However most of them gave a positive response because they were assured that the proposed alignment will not displace much of the people community. People residing along the alignment are aware of present air pollution level, traffic situation in the road and spending hours of time in traveling. A series of public consultation reveals that the Metro rail project would act as a better mode of transport, reduce air pollution, quick service, and wide range of benefits to the surrounding community by increasing property values, business, and employment opportunities. In addition, elevated stretch provides aesthetic look and also increases the land value at the surrounding places.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT

8.1 GENERAL

The primary function of an environmental impact assessment study is to predict and quantify the magnitude of impacts, evaluate and assess the importance of the identified changes and formulate plans to monitor and mitigate the actual changes. Environmental impacts could be positive or negative, direct or indirect, local, regional or global, reversible or irreversible.

With rapid strides in economic development, particularly in urban development, the need for rationalizing and upgrading the transport system is imperative. In the process of development, there has been intensive use of natural resources. Very often the process of development has adversely affected the environment leading to ecological imbalances. The importance of conserving and enhancing the environmental assets has assumed urgency. Apart from land-use, conservation of water, flora and fauna, transportation planning is an important aspect of economic development.

The main aim of the project is to decongest the road traffic. The project is designed keeping in view population growth, future traffic demands and environmental protection aspects. Moreover any connection from/to Phase- I existing Metro-Stations will help in direct interchange. This will not only reduce vehicles on road and vehicular pollution but also the pedestrians.

An initial environmental examination has been carried out to identify the positive and negative impacts from various activities due to the proposed corridor under the following heads:

 Impacts Due to Project Location  Impacts due to Project Construction  Impacts due to Project Operation

A typical checklist identifying the anticipated environmental impacts is shown in Table 8.1. 8.2 NEGATIVE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS

8.2.1 Impacts due to Project Location Land Acquisition

Land acquisition in the proposed project is of two types, one is for permanent usage and the other is for temporary usage. Permanent land is the land to be acquired throughout the life of the project it cannot be retrieved by the occupants. Temporary land is the land which is needed in addition to permanent land during construction phase. This can be retrieved by the occupant once the project is completed. The right of way of the alignment is 20m while the elevated station area is 140m x 19m underground station area is 200m x 20m. The land situated within ROW was identified as Residential, Commercial, Industrial, Institutional, Religious and the category with negligible information as others.

The alignment consists of both elevated and underground stretch. Elevated stretch and the ramp area is considered for land acquisition. In underground stretch there won’t be any land acquisition. The following table depicts the type of land and its area to be acquired for the proposed alignment.

It is observed that land acquisition is found to be minimal in Phase II North - South alignment because the alignment is planned on the existing road and the road width meets its requirement. Where there is populated area with less availability of open space, underground corridor has been proposed. The above acquisition land has been categorized under open and structure area at station as well as alignment wise.

Loss of Trees/Forests The proposed corridor will affect 690 trees at both stations and alignment. In the underground section, the tunnels will be at a minimum depth of about 5 to 6 meters from the surface. Hence construction of tunnel at this depth will not affect any tree loss. . The proposed depot will affect 120 trees.

Utility/Drainage Problems The proposed alignment is generally planned on road center line (divider), service roads and vacant lands. As per the land availability and topography, alignment is planned both above ground and below ground. The proposed alignment will cross drains and utility services such as sewer, storm water drains, water mains, telephone cables, overhead electrical transmission lines, electric poles, traffic signals etc. These utilities/ services are essential and have to be maintained in working condition even during construction phase also and required to shift temporarily or permanently without any adverse effects. The utilities/drainage which is likely to be affected due to stations and alignment are listed in Table 8.3.

It is observed that, since the alignment is situated in urban city lots of utilities have to be diverted. The drain, power lines and telephone cables are a matter of concern in the above alignment. Utilities below ground and at the ramp area will have to be diverted for construction of underground section.

Depot Impacts The depot for the corridor has been planned at southern end at Kothanur where 33 acres of land have been acquired. The major impacts of depot would be - land acquisition and noise pollution.

8.2.2 Impacts due to Project Construction Air Pollution The major source of air pollution during the construction is dust emission. This is due to the movement of vehicles carrying construction materials and workers moving in and around the project site. The emission from these vehicles depends on the type and capacity of the vehicles. It is anticipated that on a rough estimate, there would be average movement of 100 vehicles per day in a single alignment. As the vehicle movement is of temporary nature and restricted only to the construction period, these impacts relatively would be insignificant. However efforts should be still made to minimize the dust pollution arising from these activities. Since there is no much demolition of structures along the proposed alignment, dust is not much envisaged. Noise Pollution Noise levels during construction will be from crushing plants, asphalt-mixing plants, movement of heavy vehicles, loading, transportation and unloading of construction materials etc. In addition to the noise mentioned above, there will also be background noise of the usual traffic resulting due to traffic congestion and confusion arising due to traffic diversion measures. Efforts should be made to keep the noise levels under control by appropriate noise attenuation and adopting employee safety measures. Temporary route direction markings will be placed in appropriate locations. Soil Erosion and Health Risk at Construction Site Land levelling and excavation leads to soil erosion. The proposed alignment is both elevated and underground; there are 6 elevated stations and 12 underground stations with one ramp. Soil excavation is found at the ramp area and the underground alignment. From the estimations made on the basis of preliminary drawings and literature study, it is estimated that the total quantum of soil to be excavated at proposed alignment is about 10.81 lakh cubic meters. The excavated soil can be used for backfilling. Human health is usually affected due to lack of sanitation facilities (water supply and human waste disposal) and insect vector disease hazards of local workers. Problems could arise due to difference in cultural habits of imported workers and local residents. Dumping of construction spoils like concrete, bricks, waste material from camps etc cause surface and ground water pollution. Movement of vehicles carrying construction materials/spoils will also cause dust to accumulate in air causing air pollution. Waste can be utilized for land filling purposes. The excavated top fertile soil is suggested to be preserved and used later for gardening and lawn establishment. Traffic Diversion Temporary traffic diversion is essential for smooth flow during construction hence this will cause temporary impact on commuters using the existing roads. The signboards, flags and barricades will pose traffic congestion along the diversion. The temporary route selected will be in residential colonies hence this will cause traffic congestion in residential colonies and thus cause air and noise pollution. This impact is however only temporary in nature, as the diversion will last only till the construction phase is completed. Impact on Water Quality Due to increased sediment load near the construction site there will be degradation of nearby water sources. The movement of the soil sediment through runoff from the construction site will result in silt deposition in the low laying water bodies.

Uncontrolled runoff would also carry soil nutrients to the water bodies and may induce eutrophication. This type of pollution is purely temporary and restricted only during the project construction period. The total length of the alignment is 22.195 km covering 18 stations. Hence the construction activity require enormous amount of water. Some of the construction activities are concrete mixing, curing, washing, dust suppression etc. The water demand estimated for the proposed project is 700 cubic meter (m3). This requirement is met by the BWSSB recycled water and the additional water would be from private water supplier chain. Workers water demand will be fulfilled through ground water source. 8.2.3 Impacts due to Project Operation Oil Pollution

Oil pollution is found during maintenance of rolling stock, change of lubricants, cleaning and repair processes. The spilled oil should be trapped in oil and grease traps. The collected oil should either be auctioned or incinerated, so as to avoid any underground/ surface water contamination.

Noise Pollution

The main source of noise during operation is from traction motors, cooling fans, wheel- rail interaction, electric generator and miscellaneous noise from rolling stock. The maximum speed of the Metro rail is about 80 km per hour and the average speed is about 35 km per hour. The noise produced by movement of train is mainly due to rolling stock and traction motor. The vibration of concrete structures also radiates noise and this has lower frequencies than rail wheel noise. The improved technologies in recent days will minimize noise sources.

Water Supply and Sanitation at Stations

Water is essential component in operation phase, the public health facilities such as water supply, sanitation and toilets are necessary at stations. As per the review, around 45 liters/ day water is required for one person working at stations. The railway staff at each station is expected to be around 30 nos, therefore around 1,350 liters/day of water will be required for railway staff for one station. The water requirement for the proposed alignment having 18 stations is 24,000 liters/day. In addition, water demand at stations for cleaning, sanitation, fire fighting and washing purpose will be about 400 m3/day. Municipal water or ground water supply will be tapped for drinking purposes. The sewage treated water is proposed for toilets cleaning, washing etc. As per the waste water discharge about 0.5 MLD sewage treatment plant has been proposed.

Water pollution may be due to spilling of oil, grease, fuel and paint in the equipment yards. However, since the Metro rail runs through electricity the quantities of such spills are very negligible.

Solid Waste Generation The waste generated from stations and rail includes garbage, rubbish from wrappers, discarded boxes, rags etc are the solid waste sources. Based on the data generated, it is estimated that about 6g of refuse will be generated per person per day at Indian Railway Stations. There is no shop or cafes at these stations hence there is no much generation of garbage. Due to unavailability of solid waste data, it is assumed about 3g/ person/ day of refuse generation at proposed Metro stations. By considering 3.5 lakhs passengers per day, solid waste generation can be expected around 1 tonne / day.

Bangalore Metro Phase II: Environmental Impact Assessment for Gottigere – Nagavara Corridor 71

Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd.

There has to be storage containers of 50 litres capacity for temporarily storing refuse and it should be equipped with side handles to facilitate handling.

Energy Consumption Electricity is required for operation of Metro system for running of trains, station services (e.g. lighting, lifts, escalators, signalling & telecom, fire fighting etc) and workshops, depots & other maintenance infrastructure within premises of metro system. Electricity will be sourced from 220kV and 66kV network to cater to various types of demand in vicinity of the proposed corridor. The power requirements of a metro system are determined by peak-hour demands of power for traction and auxiliary applications. Keeping in view of the train operation plan and demand of auxiliary and traction power, power requirements have been estimated. As per DPR, power requirement for the year 2021, 2031 and 2041 are given in Table below:

Power Demand estimation (Mega Volt Amp) (MVA) 2021 2031 2041 Traction 11.2 19.1 20.2 Auxiliary 34.2 39.3 45.1 Total 45.4 58.4 65.3

8.3 POSITIVE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS

8.3.1 Employment Opportunities There will be provision for employment during construction and operational phases of the project. During peak hour of the construction phase, manpower requirement will be more. Further, there will be several ancillary activities which give rise additional employment opportunities. It is estimated that, about 2000 people per day are expected to be deployed during the peak period of construction activity for the proposed project. On an average 2.4 lakh mandays are required annually. During operational phase, there will be employment generation for about 250 people for operation and maintenance of the proposed Metro rail network. In addition, more people would be indirectly employed for allied activities. Therefore, the proposed project as expected to create substantial direct and indirect employment opportunities during construction and operational phases.

8.3.2 Benefits of Economy The proposed alignment will facilitate the commuters to use public transportation, this adds in to the state’s economy. The Metro rail will greatly reduce the travelling time of the commuters and hence it will influence people to travel and invest in surrounding companies or industries. On the contrary socio-economic conditions of people along the corridor will also be benefited. The reduction in bus quantity and private vehicles directly reduces fuel consumption and pollutants. The proposed alignment will facilitate people to move quickly towards other parts of city, henceforth it is likely that people will be involved in trade and commerce and other services easily. Reduction in number of vehicles will also reduce the vehicle operating cost, fuel consumption, pollution load, accidents etc. The number of vehicles plying on road will determine the periodicity of road maintenance. The proposed project will reduce the number of vehicles. The vehicle's wear & tear on the road surface will be reduced. Therefore, instead of regular maintenance of road, periodic maintenance can be carried out and it will reduce the city road maintenance cost significantly.

Bangalore Metro Phase II: Environmental Impact Assessment for Gottigere – Nagavara Corridor 72

Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd.

8.3.3 Reduction in Number of Vehicles on Road The existing road network is used by pedestrians, cyclists, motorists, buses and trucks etc, this has caused traffic congestion. According to the survey carried out on Phase II North - South alignment from IIMB to Nagavara, the vehicle movement of two wheelers at peak hours ranges from 1462 to 4135, three wheelers ranges from 710 to 1058, four wheelers ranges from 449 to 1604 and buses ranges from 64 to 112 respectively.

The factors responsible for the rise in vehicles are due to increase in income levels, preference of people of 20-35 year age group to use personalized vehicles, and the absence of an adequate public transport system. Since the proposed alignment carries around 2000 passengers per trip, people will be encouraged to use public transportation to a larger extent because of its various benefits such as reduction in traveling time, safe/comfort journey and the cost will be reasonable. These factors will attribute in a substantial reduction of vehicles on the road.

The present peak hour traffic data collected during traffic survey conducted along the proposed alignment has been projected upto 2016 (Metro commencing date) with an annual growth rate of 5%. The details of the projected traffic by 2016 are summarized in Table 8.4.

Table 8.4: Present and Projected Traffic Volume in the Proposed Alignment Vehicle Type Two Auto Car/Jee Other Total Mini- Place Year Wheele Ricksha p/Van/T Bus Four Vehicles Bus r w axi Wheelers * Vehicles / day** 2009 15875 2627 13560 844 3820 4783 41509 VC-1 2016 22338 3697 19081 1188 5376 6730 58410 2009 13892 2115 10904 816 4479 4354 36560 VC-2 2016 19548 2976 15342 1148 6302 6126 51442 2009 23608 3587 19584 2329 1987 5191 56286 VC-3 2016 33219 5047 27557 3277 2796 7304 79200 Note: Annual 5% traffic growth is considered as per norms of Planning Commission. * Bicycles excluded **12- hours data has been utilized

The reduction of vehicles plying on road after Metro Commissioning is predicted based on the people perception. On the basis of this, about 45-50% of the commuters expressed their willingness to shift to Metro rail. According to number of vehicles plying on road with and without Metro by 2016 on the proposed alignment around 35% of two wheelers, 20% of three wheelers, 25% four wheelers and 20% of commuters traveling in public/private transport are likely to shift to Metro rail. The expected reduction of vehicles on road due to proposed alignment is given Table 8.5.

8.3.4 Less Fuel Consumption The main fuels used in vehicles are petrol, diesel and CNG. About two million vehicles has been registered in Bangalore and running on city roads. Annual consumption of diesel and petrol is in the range of 4, 50,000 and 2, 50,000 tonnes respectively which costs about 3000 crores to the State economy. Over the past 5 years, the consumption of petrol, LPG and diesel has been growing due to increase in human and vehicular population. The fuel consumption of vehicles plying on road parallel to the proposed alignment is calculated as per the alignment distance and depicted in Table 8.6.

The projected vehicles in the proposed alignment from IIMB to Nagavara will save 18966 liters / day of petrol and 8933 liters/ day of diesel after initiation of Metro rail.

8.6: Expected Fuel Cost Savings from the Proposed Alignment Savings VC-1 VC-2 VC-3 Total Total Petrol (lt) saved / day 5791 4769 8406 18966 Total Diesel (lt) saved / day 3088 3402 2444 8933 Total Petrol Cost (Rs.) saved / day 301123 247992 437104 986219 Total Diesel Cost (Rs.) saved / day 114238 125868 90433 330539 Total Petrol Cost (crores) saved / 10.99 9.05 15.95 36.00 year Total Diesel Cost (crores) saved / 4.17 4.59 3.30 12.06 year Total Fuel Cost (crores) savings / 15.16 13.65 19.26 48.06 year

Due to the reduction in the number of vehicles, the consumption of petrol and diesel will reduce significantly and it will directly influence State economy. As per estimation, an amount of Rs 36.00 crores from petrol and Rs. 12.06 crores from diesel can be saved per year. Overall, the proposed alignment annually will save nearly Rs. 48.06 crores fuel cost.

Bangalore Metro Phase II: Environmental Impact Assessment for Gottigere – Nagavara Corridor 74

In addition, there will be reduction of traffic congestion on road thus increasing the speed of the vehicles plying on road. The increase in speed of vehicles due to reduction of vehicles improves mileage efficiency. Similarly, Metro will reduce regular road maintenance and traffic management cost effectively.

8.3.5 Reduction in Air Pollution The urban air pollution generally means unacceptable levels of pollutants emitted from vehicles such as Carbon Monoxide (CO), Hydro Carbons (HC), Nitrogen oxides (NOx), Suplur Dioxide (SO2) and particulates in the atmosphere. The environmental study conducted by CPCB/KSPCB indicates that the high level of air pollution in the Bangalore City is mainly due to urban transportation. The baseline environmental study carried out in the present study supports this statement. The survey conducted clearly indicates that two and three wheelers are seen predominantly on the proposed alignment. With the operation of both Phase-I and Phase-II corridors of Metro, many commuters are expected to shift from the private/public transportation to Metro rail. This shift will considerably reduce the usage of personalized vehicles, which is eventually reduced the air and noise pollution at source itself. Currently, the emission of CO, NOx and HC of vehicles plying on road is within the CPCB standard while particulate matter found to be exceeded the permissible limit. An attempt as been made to estimate the pollution load by colligating exhaust emission factor and the fuel consumption and the reduction in air pollution after commissioning of Metro is depicted in Table 8.7. It is observed that the proposed project will reduce nearly 8.49 tonnes of pollutants per day.

Table 8.7: Estimated Reduction of Air Pollutants in the Proposed Alignment Exhaust Reduction of air pollutants / day due to Pollutants factor for Metro by 2016 (in tonnes) petrol in VC-1 VC-2 VC-3 Total kg/1000* Carbon Monoxide 391 2.26 1.86 3.29 7.42 Hydrocarbons 34 0.20 0.16 0.29 0.64 Oxides of Nitrogen 19.2 0.11 0.09 0.16 0.36 Oxides of sulphur 1.5 0.01 0.01 0.01 0.03 Particulate matter 1.9 0.01 0.01 0.02 0.04 Total 2.59 2.13 3.76 8.49 * Exhaust emission factor as per H.B. Mathur, 1984.

8.3.6 Reduction in Passenger Time The train is designed to travel around 80 kmph with an average speed of 35 kmph. The carrying capacity of 6 coach train would carry 2000 passengers with 50 seating capacity per coach. The frequency of the train is 4 minutes during peak hour i.e. 8.00 am to 11.00 am and 4.00 pm to 8.00 pm (7 hours) accounting for 105 trips. The frequency of train is 8 minutes during nonpeak hours i.e. 11.00 am to 4:00 pm and 8.00 pm to 12.00 am (9 hours) accounts to 67 trips. Since the Metro is in urban area passengers will be more during day while hardly few passengers can be expected to travel at night. Considering the average train movement, around 3.5 lakhs passenger/day is expected. The existing transportation system on the city roads takes 2.0 to 2.5 hours to reach IIMB to Nagavara (Bangalore South to North) while the estimated travel time using Metro rail takes < 1 hour to cover the same distance. Considering an average 30 minutes time savings / passenger / trip, per day can save approximately 1.72 lakhs man hours.

Bangalore Metro Phase II: Environmental Impact Assessment for Gottigere – Nagavara Corridor 75

Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd.

Thus, the Metro rail used can thus cut down travel time by more than half which works out to a substantial saving on productive man hours and improve working efficiency.

8.3.7 Reduction in Accidents As per the Bangalore traffic data, nearly 5802 deaths and 56251 accidents were reported in Bangalore during 2001-2007. According to the statistics obtained, the accidents in 2007 were at peak. But in the last three years, between 2008 and 2010, accidents have come down. During 2008, fatal ones decreased to 864 from 957 in 2007. Subsequently, number of persons killed decreased to 892 as against 981 in 2007. However the traffic offenders has shot up from Rs 14 crore in 2003 to Rs 38 crore in 2009. With the introduction of Metro, two, three and four wheeler vehicle category will be reduced significantly. As their population reduces there will be some marginal reduction in public bus usage hence this will also reduce the Congestion Index of the road. Induction of Metro rail will significantly reduce road related accidents and increase in speed with a greater public safety.

8.3.8 Improve City Aesthetic Value Metro rail project will increase the city aesthetic value and will attract the investors from other parts of the city. Similarly, the construction of Metro rail will encourage the economic opportunities of the people residing along alignment by promoting both business establishments and tourism. The architecturally designed elevated corridor above the median of the road could be aesthetically pleasing to the people.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

9.1 INTRODUCTION

As discussed in the earlier sections, the proposed alignment has positive as well as negative impacts on environment. The project provides quick and safe transportation, increase employment opportunity, reduce traffic congestion and increase economy. On the contrary some of the adverse affects have also been identified viz air/noise pollution, water pollution, soil pollution, land acquisition, rehabilitation, resettlement of people, traffic diversion, utility dislocation etc. These adverse impacts can be minimized by making necessary provision in design phase by implementing Environment Management Plans (EMP). The management plan should be integrated in all phases of the project. An adequate amount of fund is essential to implement management plan. Environment Management Cell should be setup to provide training for employees to carryout out post monitoring actives. Environmental Management Plan discussed in the following section is to mitigate the adverse impacts caused by implementation of the proposed project and to maintain the quality of safe environment. It covers all aspects of planning, construction and operation of the project. 9.2 MITIGATION MEASURES

9.2.1 Compensation for Loss of Land The alignment is predominantly along the busy roads and over head. The alignment and stations is sited preferably in the open land and government property to nullify the impact on private public. However the land private property which has to be acquired for the purpose of alignment/station will be given compensation with respect to the Land acquisition norms. PAPs will be provided with suitable rehabilitation and resettlement compensation as mentioned in National Rehabilitation and Resettlement Policy. The area of open land and structures to be acquired for the proposed alignment is 3.21 Ha. Since the project occupies linear area of land/property, compensation will be given for property holder of structures to be acquired in the form of cash. The cost will be given based on property cost in Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) Gazetteer. The compensation varies with respect to the property cost. Individual beneficiaries will be identified and their compensation will be taken care without any misuse.

9.2.2 Compensation for Loss of Trees The Tree authority is responsible for conservation and management of urban trees in the city. According to the Karnataka Preservation of Trees Act, 1976, the felling of trees should be regulated by planting adequate number of trees to restore ecological balance of the area. However there is no restriction in felling of Casuarina, Coconut, Erythrina, Eucalyptus, Glyrecidia, Hopea, Wightina, Prosipis, Rubber, Sesbania, Silver Oak and Subabul trees according to Karnataka Preservation of Trees Act, 1976. It is estimated that 206 trees are likely to be lost due to the proposed corridor and the total value of these trees lost is Rs. 1.65 lakhs. According to the MoEF guidelines for compensatory afforestation, ten trees have to be planted for each tree cut. Hence, 2060 trees will be planted along the corridor. These trees would have occupied about 2.06 ha area @ Rs. 1000 /tree. The cost includes saplings, tree guard, watering, control of pest and weed, thinning and maintenance for 5 years excluding the land cost.

Bangalore Metro Phase II: Environmental Impact Assessment for Gottigere – Nagavara Corridor 77

Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd.

Thus, the compensatory reafforestation cost for the proposed alignments will be 20.60 lakhs which includes road side plantation. The alignment is predominantly along the road median or road center line. The alignment and stations is sited preferably where the loss of trees is negligible by trials of alternatives. It is emphasized to reduce the tree removal and where it is inevitable replacement of tree will be practiced strictly. According to the MoEF guidelines for compensatory afforestation, ten trees have to be planted for each tree cut. Environmentally beneficial tree species such as Michelia champaca, Bauhinia variegata, Plumeria alba, Muntingia calabura, Ficus religiosa, Dendrocalamus strictus, Caryota urens, Azadirachta indica, Pongamia pinnata has been proposed all along the station borders under compensatory afforestation. Apart from the above trees species few climbers and flower baring plants such as Jasmin, Thunbergia, Orchids, Thevetia, Cassia, Adhatoda, Euphorbia, etc., will also be integrated within the stations. These species not only give aesthetic look to the stations but also provide habitat for butterflies and birds. As per the carbon sequestration estimate, one acre of 50 year old forest can sink 100 metric tones carbon. Therefore, it is estimated that planting 2060 trees in 5.08 acres of land under compensatory afforestation can sequester 508 metric tonnes of carbon in 50 years, thus the proposed project can sequester an average 10.16 metric tonnes of carbon in a year.

9.2.3 Green Belt Development In addition to the compensatory plantation, green belt area can be developed for the total 7.50 Km under the elevated corridor using native shrubs, herbs and grasses. The design of the project shows that in the elevated section of the track, the lower edge of the track will be at 5.5 m height from the ground level with pillars at every 25 m interval, each pillar having 1.5 m diameter. A central ribbon area will be planted with small tree species which grows up to height of 4-5 m. The peripheral ribbons will be planted with grasses and perennial herbs interspersed with medicinal plants like Tulasi, Vinca, Evolvulus, Hemidiscus etc. Appropriate shade loving and light loving trees could be preferred depending on the location. Thus the green belt will provide aesthetic view of elevated track and also helps to serve as dust and noise absorbent barrier.

Cost estimates for 1 km Green belt development under the elevated track (width of ribbon = 1.5m) is calculated and presented in Table 9.1.

 One row of small trees at three meter intervals in the central ribbon @ Rs. 125/sapling for 333 saplings (for 1 km elevated length) = Rs. 41600.00

 Small shrubs on both sides of central ribbon to cover 0.75 m width @ Rs. 50/sapling or 1333 saplings for two sides = 2666 seedlings

Rs. 50 x 2000= Rs. 133300.00

 Grasses and perennial herbs on both the sides of 1000 m @ Rs. 50/m2 to cover balance 0.75 m width

Rs. 50 x 0.75 m x 2000 m = Rs. 75000.00

Table 9.1 Cost Estimate for Green Belt Development along the Proposed Alignment Establishment Gottigere to Nagavara Green belt type cost for 1 km (in (7.50 km) (in Rs.) Rs.) Small trees 41600 312000 Shrubs 133300 999750 Grass/herbs 75000 562500 Total 2,49,900 18,74,250

The total cost for green belt development under the elevated track for the entire 07.50 km stretch is about 18.74 lakhs.

9.2.4 Translocation of trees About 65 trees need to translocate to nearby park, which are having shallow root systems. This requires Rs. 3,000 per tree towards translocation expense resulting a total Rs. 2.0 lakhs is required to translocate 65 trees without any damage.

9.2.5 Compensation for Rehabilitation/Resettlement The rehabilitation and resettlement was confined to the provision of Land Acquisition Act for several years. However, in recent years national rehabilitation and resettlement policy have issued instruction for compensation of project affected people. The proposed project involves displacement of 83 residential of about 8694.49 Sqm of land and 34039.63 commercial and other properties is about 53286.77 Sqm. Compensatory land records for each person have been updated to give compensation to the right persons and to avoid misuse of any property. As per the BDA Gazetteer 2007, the average land cost has been worked out at Rs. 2500/ sq ft from IIMB to Nagavara. Approximately Rs. 254.94 crores will be paid towards compensation for property loss due to the proposed project. The BMRCL Rehabilitation Policy is given in Annexure 10.

Provisions will be made to enhance the female employment opportunities by encouraging female workers to participate even in the construction activities. To prevent possible traffic congestion, temporary access roads will be used during construction phase for transportation of personnel/ materials /equipment. However, the traffic congestion is less likely to be observed as the proposed construction activity is in service road.

The details of compensation for rehabilitation/resettlement for PAPs will be given in Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) and Resettlement Action Plan (RAP).

9.2.6 Water Supply & Sanitation The water demand for the proposed project is expected to be around 450 cubic meter (m3) and 300 cubic meter (m3) during construction and operation phases respectively. Much of the water required for construction would be met by treated water from nearest BWSSB and the additional water would be procured from private water supplier chain.

Runoff from the construction site can be a source of water pollution. Cement based products/ dust carried by the runoff from the land surface can pollute surface water bodies. Surface covers are proposed to be spread on the land to prevent dust settlement on the land surface. Proper sanitary facility will be made available for the construction workers.

Bangalore Metro Phase II: Environmental Impact Assessment for Gottigere – Nagavara Corridor 79

Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd.

The construction workers drinking water demand will be fulfilled only through ground water. Efforts shall be made to reduce the wastage of water during construction by encouraging water recycling techniques. During the operation phase, adequate water supply and sanitation facilities would be made available at all the stations.

9.2.7 Oil Pollution Control There should be provision for the collection of oil and grease generated from construction equipments and sent for their treatments. Precautionary measures have been suggested to prevent these wastes moving in to ground or surface water bodies, as they are important sources of water for domestic use. Oil traps in the heavy machinery area are suggested to collect oil based materials. Similarly, sedimentation basins would be erected prior to the water discharge point to reduce the sedimentation load in the storm water. Since Metro rail is operated through electricity, there will be less chance of oil pollution.

9.2.8 Noise Pollution Control For elevated corridors, ballast less track structure is supported on two layers of rubber pads to reduce noise and vibrations. In addition, baffle wall as parapets will be constructed upto the rail level so as reduce sound levels. Noise at source will be controlled or reduced by incorporating suitable feature in the design of structures and layout of machines and by use of resilient mounting and dampers etc. To reduce the harmful effects, personnel working at high noise levels would be provided with noise protective gears such as ear mufflers, sound barriers etc. Vehicles used for transportation of construction materials would be equipped with proper silencers. Careful planning has been made to operate the construction equipments to have minimal disturbances. The construction equipments would be run only during the daytime and their noise would be monitored as per CPCB standards. Establishment of tree cover all along the corridor will further reduce the noise levels during operation phase. In addition, an appropriate chronological land use planning would be made available to prevent and minimize noise and vibration impacts. 9.2.9 Vibration Control

The vibration is generally caused from rail-wheel interaction. This can be reduced by minimizing any surface irregularities on the wheel and rail. To minimize the vibration shock absorbing pad has to be provided and there has to be a distance between rail seat assembly and concrete plinth.

9.2.10 Soil Disposal

The construction activities will generate approximately 10.81 lakh cubic meters of soil/debris causing soil erosion during excavation. This can be mitigated by utilizing around 35 % of excavated soil for land filling purposes. The excavated top fertile soil is suggested to be preserved and used later for gardening and lawn establishment. Soil erosion by runoff will be controlled by installing proper drainage systems using contour information. Proper land use plan has been suggested with technical evaluation. Since there is bulk quantity of soil is generating at the underground alignment area, it is suggested to avoid bringing soil from outside the project boundary and to use the excavated mounds for filling low laying area where it is necessary. Thus, both cost and time saving suggestions have been made in land leveling and soil transportation.

Roof top rain water harvesting can be carried out at elevated stations. The rooftop of the stations will become catchment area for rain. Rain water will be collected and stored in a tank or diverted into artificial recharge tanks. This method is less expensive and very effective to augment the ground water level of the area. As per the rainfall characteristics, generally the annual rainwater harvesting potential for 1000 sqm roof area will be 7,68,000 liters. Therefore around 50400 sqm area at 18 elevated stations can harvest approximately 38.70 million liters of rainwater annually in the proposed alignment from IIMB to Nagavara. It is assumed that average annual rainfall will be 850 mm and rainfall availability for harvest 70%.

9.2.12 Air Pollution Control The main source of air pollution in the proposed project occurs only during construction. Transportation of construction materials, excavation and filling of land are the major sources of dust. This can be reduced to a greater extent by optimized use of soil material within the vicinity. Water should be sprayed at the construction site / vehicle movement areas regularly to reduce dust emissions. Adequate dust suppression measures particularly near habitation, such as water sprinkling, covering / area concealing etc should be practiced to control fugitive dust during construction. All vehicles, equipment and machinery used for construction shall be regularly maintained to ensure that the pollution emission levels to meet the prescribed norms of CPCB.

Vehicles carrying earth, cement and other construction material shall be suitably covered during transportation in order to reduce spreading of material all along the road. There will not be any built up pollutants in the long run. Operational phase will not have any impact and management plan may not be required as the Metro rail does not pollute environment. During power failures, DG sets may be commissioned at stations. To monitor environmental quality, these DG sets will be monitored as per CPCB guidelines. Some of the effective species which absorb air pollutants are Azadirachta indica, Terminalia chebula and Dalbergia sissoo, Albizia amara and Mangifera indica are proposed under greenery development.

9.2.13 Utility Restoration

There are many utilities such as water supply and sewer pipe lines, storm water drains, telephone cables, over head transmission lines, electric poles, sub ways, traffic signals etc. are essential and have to be maintained in working conditions during different stage of construction. These assets will be maintained without affecting any damages by shifting temporary/ permanently where it is necessary.

9.2.14 Disaster Management

Any unexpected event occurring due to sudden failure of the system like leakage of gas, external threats, internal disturbances, earthquakes, fire and accidents is termed as disaster. A Management Cell is proposed to act at a quick response in any emergency encountered. For the proposed Metro project all relevant safety codes, acts and regulations such as Electricity Act, Explosive Act, Public Liability Insurance Act, Safety Codes, Policies and Guidelines laid down by Ministry of Railways should be observed during various stages of the project to minimize risk and disaster. Through good design, operation and maintenance and regular inspection any unexpected risks and disaster can be minimized. Hazard has to be controlled by minimizing and mitigating the risk and disaster.

To prevent any unexpected accidents, overall ramp safety management system approach is required that involves Risk Analysis and Risk Management. Risk Analysis involves establishing the organization's risk profile and risk management encompasses the various measures that can be implemented to minimize accidents, control loss and transfer risk by insurance on the basis of the identified risk profile of an organization. New safety assessment methods are needed to assess the safety of new concepts.

Workers need to be trained to mitigate the risk. In addition, workers should fallow the safety rules. Emergency medical aid has to be adopted in the event of accidents involving the hazardous substance. Good sanitation practices should be followed such as proper water supply, sanitation, drainage, health care and human waste disposal facilities etc. In addition, efforts shall be made to avoid any water spills, adopt disease control measures and employment of local labour.

9.2.15 Energy Consumption

Energy Consumption: Electricity is required for operation of Metro system for running of trains, station services (e.g. lighting, lifts, escalators, signalling & telecom, fire fighting etc) and workshops, depots & other maintenance infrastructure within premises of metro system. Electricity will be sourced from 220kV and 66kV network to cater to various types of demand in vicinity of the proposed corridor. The power requirements of a metro system are determined by peak-hour demands of power for traction and auxiliary applications. Keeping in view of the train operation plan and demand of auxiliary and traction power, power requirements have been estimated. As per DPR, power requirement for the year 2021, 2031 and 2041 are given in Table below:

Power Demand estimation (Mega Volt Amp) (MVA) 2021 2031 2041 Traction 11.2 19.1 20.2 Auxiliary 34.2 39.3 45.1 Total 45.4 58.4 65.3

Measures to Reduce Energy Consumption

On-Board Train System

 Propulsion:  Use of regenerative braking resulting in energy saving of 30.0% of traction energy and further it will be improved by 14% by upgrading the braking characteristics of new 6-car train sets.  Lighting:  Use of LED based saloon interior lighting system.  HVAC:  Improved design of HVAC with coefficient of performance (COP) of minimum 2.5.  Temperature inside the train set is in accordance with ambient temperature and accordingly “VENT mode” will be introduced.

Bangalore Metro Phase II: Environmental Impact Assessment for Gottigere – Nagavara Corridor 82

Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd.

 Coaches:  Coached will be designed with the following features-  15 ton axle load trains which will lead to reduction of tare weight of coaches by use of stainless steel.  Increased passenger capacity per coach  Use of Variable Voltage Variable Frequency drives.  Focus will be given on following measures in Train Operation  Coasting mode of train operation in ATO as well as ATP driving mode.  Paradigm shift from time oriented to demand oriented Time Tabling.  Rationalization of DWELL time at station to maximise energy saving.  Monitoring of driving technique.  Closing of car doors during testing to avoid air-conditioning leakages.  Increase energy awareness among staff.  Improved operational efficiencies and maintenance practices. Stations

 Time control circuit to be implemented of lighting duration at concourse, Platform, etc.  Reduction in speed of Escalators at metro stations.  Keeping the sand by transformer as cold stand by instead of hot stand by avoiding no load losses. 9.2.16 Visual Intrusion:

The introduction of MRTS implies a change in streets through which it will operate. An architecturally well designed elevated section can be pleasing to the eyes of beholders. Recent MRTS projects have attempted to incorporate this objective in their designs, as in the case of Singapore. Same has been incorporated in Delhi MRTS also. Since a low profile would cause the least intrusion, the basic elevated section has been optimised at this stage itself. The corridor can be visually reemphasized by green belts beneath the viaducts and the ramps also would be landscaped to reduce visual impacts. 9.3 SUMMARY OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

The environmental impacts stemming out of the proposed project can be mitigated with simple set of measures, dealing with careful planning and designing of the metro alignment and structures. Adequate provision of environmental clauses in work contracts and efficient contract management will eliminate or reduce significantly all possible problems. A common problem encountered during implementation of environmental management plans of such projects is lack of environmental awareness among engineers and managers concerned with day to day construction activities, which can be solved through regular environmental training programs.

MINISTRY OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT (Department of Land Resources). (Land Reforms Division) RESOLUTION New Delhi, the 31st October, 2007 Subject: National Rehabilitation and Resettlement Policy, 2007 F.No.26011/412007-LRD.-Whereas,the Governmentof India,Ministryof Rural Development, Department of Land Resources, have formulated a National Rehabilitation and Resettlement Policy,2007;

And, whereas, the Government of India desire that the contentsof the said Policy be brought to tbe notice of the generalpublic and given wide publicity; Now,therefore,it is directedthattheNational Rehabilitationand ResettlementP~licy,2007 given in the Schedule hereto annexed be published in the Gazette of India, Extraordinary,Part 1, Section I, dated the 31st October, 2007. SCHEDULE THE NATIONAL REHABILITATION AND RESETTLEMENT POLICY, 2007

CHAPTER - I 1.Policy

PREAMBLE:

1.1 Provision of public facilities or infrastructure often requires the exercise of legal powers by the state under the principle of eminent domain for acquisition of private property, leading to involuntary displacement of people, depriving them of their land, livelihood and shelter; restricting their access to traditional resource base, and uprooting them from their socio-cultural environment~ These have traumatic, psychological and socio-cultural consequences on the affected population which call for protecting their rights, in particular of the weaker sections of the society including members of the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, marginal farmers and women. Involuntary displacement of people may be caused by other factors also.

1.2 There is imperative need to recognise rehabilitation and resettlement issues as intrinsic to the development .process formulated with the active participation of the affected persons, rather than as externally-imposed requirements. Additional benefits beyond monetary compensation have to be provided to the families affected adversely by involuntary displacement. The plight of those who do not have legal or recognised rights over the land on which they are critically dependent for their Y404Gj{(07 --5

I 34 THEGAZETTEOFINDIA: EXTRAORDINARY PARTI-SEc. 1

subsistence is even worse. This calls for a.broader concerted effort on the part of the planners to include in the displacement, rehabilitation and resettlement process framework not only those who directly lose land and other assets but also those who are affected by such acquisition of assets. The displacement process. often poses problems that make it difficult for the affected persons to continue their earlier livelihood activities after resettlement. This requires a careful assessment of the economic disadvantages and social impact of displacement. There must also be a holistic effort aimed at improving the all round living standards of the affected people.

1.3 A National Policy on Resettlement and Rehabilitation for Project Affected Families was formulated in 2003, and it came into force w.e.f. February, 2004. Experience of implementation of this policy indicates that there are many issues addressed by the policy which need to be reviewed. There should be a clear perception, through a careful quantification of the costs and benefits that will accrue

to society at large, of the desirability and justifiability of each project. . The adverse impact on affected iamilies - economic, environmental, social and cultural- needs to be assessed in a participatory and transparent manner. A national policy must apply to all p~ojects where involuntary displacement takes place.

1.4 The aim should be to minimi~e large-scale displacement, as far as possible. Only the minimum area of land commensurate with the purpose of the project may be acquired. Also, as far as possible, projects may be $et up on wasteland, degraded land or un-irrigated land. Acquisition of agricultural land for non-agricultu~al use in the project may be kept to the minimum; multi-cropped land may be avoided to the extent possible for such 'purposes, and acquisition of irrigated land, if unavoidable, may be kept to the minimum. Prior to initiating the acquisition of land for a project, r the appropriate. Government should, inter alia, take into consideration the alternatives that will (i) minimise the displacement of people due to the acquisition of land for the project; (ii) minimise the total area of land to be acquired for the project; and (iii) minimise the acquisition of agricultural land for non-agricultural use in the project. The options. assessment may be in terms of the alternative project plans, potentially suitable sites, technological choices available, or a combination of these. Suitable institutional mechanism should be developed and adopted by the appropriate Government for carrying out the task in a transparent manner.

1.5 Where large numbers of families are affected, it must be mandatory to do social impact assessments and provide all required infrastructural facilities and amenities in the resettlement area. More particularly, where the Scheduled Tribes people are being displaced in sizeable numbers, a well thought out Tribal Development Plan must be put in place. 1.6 Furthermore, such a policy must specify clear timeframes within which the implementation of the rehabilitation package as well as utilization of the land shall

J "

be accomplished. Also, it should lay down an effective monitoring and grievance redressal mechanism.

1.7 It is acknowledged that many State Governments, Public Sector Undertakings or agencies, and other requiring bodies either have their own Rehabilitation and Rese~tlement (R&R) policies or are in the process of formulating them. The provisions of the National Rehabilitation and Resettlement Policy, 2007 (NRRP-2007) provide for the basic minimum requirements, and all projects leading to involuntary displacement of people must address the rehabilitation and resettlement issues comprehensively. The State Governments, Public Sector Undertakings or agencies, v, and other requiring bodies shall be at liberty to put in place greater benefit levels i than those prescribed in the NRRP-2007. The principles of this policy may also apply to the rehabilitation and resettlement of persons involuntarily displaced permanently due to any other reason.

5.0 Designer’s role

5.0 Designer’s role in Safety, Health and Environment

5.1 Designer’s primary role includes to minimise the risk to health and safety of those who are going to construct, maintain, clean, repair, dismantle or demolish the structures and any one else like adjoining road users/general public, who might be affected by the work.

5.2 General philosophy

5.2.1 When considering health and safety in designer’s work, they shall be expected to do what is reasonable at the time the design is prepared. It may be possible for hazards, which cannot be addressed at the feasibility stage to be looked at during detailed design. In deciding what is reasonably practicable, the risk to health and safety produced by a feature of the design has to be weighed against the cost of excluding the feature. The overall design process does not need to be dominated by a concern to avoid all risks during the construction phase and maintenance. However, a judgement has to be made by weighing up one consideration against another so the cost is counted not just in financial terms, but also those of fitness for purpose, aesthetics, buildability or environmental impact. By applying these principles, it may be possible to make decisions at the design stage, which will avoid or reduce risks during construction work. In many cases, the large number of design considerations will allow a number of equally valid design solutions. What is important is the approach to the solutions of design problems. This should involve a proper exercise of judgement, which takes account of health and safety issues.

5.3 Hierarchy of Risk Control

5.3.1 Designers shall need, so far as reasonably practicable, to avoid or reduce risks by applying a series of steps known as the hierarchy of risk control or principles of prevention and protection. The steps to be adopted shall include the following:

i) consider if the hazard can be prevented from arising so that the risk can be avoided (e.g., alter the design to avoid the risk); ii) if this cannot be achieved, the risk should be combated at source (e.g., ensure the design details of items to be lifted include attachment points for lifting);

Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. Page 11 of 127

TENDER NO: BMRCL/Phase-2/Reach-5a/Via&Stn/2016/12 Safety Health & Environment (SHE) Manual

iii) failing this, priority should be given to measures to control the risk that will protect all people; iv) only as a last resort should measures to control risk by means of personal protection be assumed (e.g., use of safety harnesses). 5.4 Duty to provide health and safety risks in the drawing itself

5.4.1 In case of situations were the designers have carried out the design work and concluded that there are risks, which are not reasonably practicable to avoid, detailed information shall be given about the health and safety risks, which remain. This information needs to be included with the design to alert others to the risks, which they cannot reasonably be expected to know. This is essential for the parties who have to use the design information.

5.4.2 If the designers’ basic design assumptions affect health or safety, or health and safety risks are not obvious from the standard design document, the designer shall provide additional information. The information shall include a broad indication of the assumptions about the precautions for dealing with the risks. The information will need to be conveyed in a clear manner; it shall be included on drawings, in written specifications or outline method statements. The level of detail to be recorded will be determined by the nature of the hazards involved and the associated level of risk.

5.5 Employer’s approval

5.5.1 Every structure like scaffold, false work, launching girder, earth retaining structures etc. shall have its design calculations included in the method statements in addition to health and safety risks. Employers’ designer or his approved proof check consultants as applicable as per the contract conditions shall approve all these designs.

5.6 Any non-standard structures like trestles made up of re-bars or structures which are very old, corroded, repaired for many times etc. for which no design calculations can be made accurately from any national standards, shall not be allowed to be used at sites even for short duration.

WORKPLACE POLICY ON HIV/AIDS PREVENTION & CONTROL FOR WORKMEN ENGAGED BY CONTRACTORS

“Being mobile in and of itself is not a risk factor for HIV infection. It is the situations encountered and the behaviours possibly engaged in during mobility or migration that increase vulnerability and risk regarding HIV / AIDS.”

UNAIDS, Technical update on ‘Population, Mobility and AIDS’, February 2001, p.5

Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation (BMRC) recognizes HIV / AIDS as a developmental challenge and realizes the need to respond to it by implementing regular HIV / AIDS prevention programmes and creating a non-discriminatory work environment for HIV infected workmen engaged by contractors. For the purpose of making conscientious, sensitive and compassionate decision in addressing the realities of HIV / AIDS, DMRC has established these guidelines based on ILO code of practice on HIV / AIDS.

Creating awareness through professional agency using IEC (Information, Education and Communication) package specially designed for migrant workers.

Institutional capacity building by training the project implementation team, Safety, Health & Environment (SHE) Managers, establishing linkages for efficient diagnosis and treatment of the affected workers, effective monitoring of implementation and documentation for further learning.

Establishing peer educators by selecting them in consultation with contractors and training them through professional agencies so that they become focal point for any information, education and awareness campaigns among the workmen throughout the contract period.

Promotion of social marketing of condoms through State Aids Control Society.
