26 MW SHAGHARTHANG HYDROPOWER PROJECT INITIAL ENVIRONMENTAL EXAMINATION REVISED May 2012 IEE Report for Shagharthang Hydropower Project EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introduction: Initial Environmental Examination Report of 26 MW Shagharthang Hydropower Project presents the environmental assessment of the construction and the operation phases of the project. It is to ensure that the potential adverse environmental impacts are appropriately addressed in line with ADB's Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS) 2009 as well as meeting the requirements of Pakistan Environmental Protection Act 1997. The Project is covered by Schedule B of Energy Sector as per “Policy and Procedures for Filing, Review and Approval of Environmental Assessment” issued by Pak - EPA in August 2000 and Category “B” Under ADB's SPS 2009 which requires preparation of an IEE Report for submission to EPA Gilgit Baltistan for their approval. Project Description: The proposed 26 MW Shagarthang Hydropower Project is located on right bank of Kachura Lungma (stream), District Skardu which is about 50 km from the Skardu city. The Kachura lungma is a left tributary of the Indus River with its confluence located about 40 km northwest of Skardu. The project facilities will consist of a weir intake, a connecting channel, a de-silting basin, a daily storage pond, a spill channel, a headrace tunnel, a powerhouse, a tailrace channel, a surge tank, a penstock, transmission line and a grid station. To facilitate construction activities, partial widening and surface improvement of an existing road is also part of the project. Environmental Baseline: The project area falls in the Skardu district which lies in the southeast of Gilgit-Baltistan. The field surveys conducted in September 2011 collected primary and secondary data in respect of physical, biological and socio-economic environment. Meetings were held with officials of departments of revenue, agriculture, health, education, fishery and forest. Public consultations were held with locals including project affectees. The population of the 4 villages within the influence of the project is at present 5,592. The majority of the household size has electrical connection which however, is limited to lighting only. The water supply and sanitation conditions need improvement. Environmental Impacts and Mitigation: The project impacts have been discussed with reference to design, construction and operation related impacts and positive impacts. The design related impacts relate to loss of land and assets due to access road widening. Construction related impacts in particular relate to disposal of excavated material for which disposal sites has been identified. The construction related impacts will be manageable if the mitigation measures are implemented thoroughly. A total of 42.475 acres of Govt. and private land will have to be acquired for the project implementation. This land area consist of 13.669 acres of land needing permanent acquisition for access road, 9.694 acres for project structures and 0.22 acres for grid station including18.31 acres of land requiring temporary acquisition for construction camps, dumping sites and during stringing ES - 1 IEE Report for Shagharthang Hydropower Project operation of 66kV transmission line. No residential house will be affected by the project. Other than land, a total of 1150 fruit and shade/wood trees, and 62 structures of different types including 5 shops made up of stone masonry with mud roofing measuring 102.91 square meter, boundary wall 740.71 cubic meter and agriculture/livestock sheds measuring 160.50 square meter will also be affected by the construction of project components. 66 kV Transmission Line: A total of 97 towers will be constructed for 30 km transmission lines that will traverse from Shagharthang to Sondus in Skardu town. Tower foundation would require 0.582 acres of private land affecting 30 households with a total population of 350 affected persons. In addition, 11.77 acres of land would be acquired temporarily during stringing operation. An estimated 43 trees will be affected within 10m COI of the 66kV transmission line. Out of these, 40 trees are timber and fuel wood trees and only 3 are fruit trees. The project as a whole will affect 110 households with a total population of 1,196 affected persons (APs). All affected households (AHs) are Muslim and ethnically Balti and Shin. There are neither tribal nor minority people amongst the AHs. These households will be affected due to widening of road, lying of transmission towers and construction of a new grid station. The operation related impacts relate to mitigation measures in terms of environmental flow requirements to safeguard aquatic ecology and fisheries. The positive impacts enumerate the savings in annual green house gas emissions. Public Consultation A public consultation program and census survey held earlier in April, May & June, 2008 was followed up in Sep, 2011, when the consultant team assessed the correctness of the inventory of affected assets subject to final verification by the Revenue Department. The staff of land revenue department together with PMU and consultant staff have finalized the inventory of affected assets and actual demarcation on the respective sites. Institutional Requirements: Environmental impacts associated with construction and operation of the project need to be mitigated for which institutional arrangements have been proposed by establishing a project management unit (PMU) headed by a full time Project Director to ensure compliance with ADB policies and procedures. For addressing complaints and grievances of project affectees, a grievance redress committee (GRC) has been proposed. Environmental Management Plan: The environmental management plan (EMP) has been drawn up to address environmental concerns, recommend mitigation measures and assign responsibility to implement and monitor them. The environmental management plan should be used as a basis for environmental compliance programme and be included in the contract document. ES - 2 IEE Report for Shagharthang Hydropower Project I. INTRODUCTION For updating the IEE report already conducted in the year 2008 for 26MW Shagharthang Hydropower Project, Water and Power Department Gilgit Baltistan made arrangements in the year 2011 for consultancy services with Pakistan Engineering Services (Pvt.) Ltd. Lahore. In order to consider project financing, an Asian Development Bank Mission visited the project area during August 2011. Before detailed design is undertaken by EPC Contractor Environmental Assessment (IEE Report) and Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan (LARP) Reports are to be completed. It is mandatory that no objection certificate of the IEE Report is obtained from EPA GB before proceeding with the construction of the project. This Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) presents the environmental assessment of the proposed Shagharthang Hydropower Plant with reference to its design, construction and operation phases. This IEE has been carried out to ensure that the potential adverse environmental impacts are appropriately addressed in line with ADB's Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS) 2009 as well as to meet the requirements of the Government of Pakistan for environmental assessment. The environmental assessment report is submitted to ADB by the Government of Gilgit Baltistan on behalf of Water and Power Department (GB-WPD). This report is to be submitted for review and approval by the Gilgit Baltistan Environmental Protection Agency (GB-EPA) as required by the Pakistan Environmental Protection Act 1997. A. Environmental Regulatory Compliance Section 12(1) of the Pakistan Environmental Protection Act 1997 requires that “No proponent of a project1 shall commence construction or operation unless he has filed with the Federal Agency2 an initial environmental examination or, where the project is likely to cause an adverse environmental effect, an environmental impact assessment, and has obtained from the Federal Agency approval in respect thereof." The National Environmental Quality Standards are applicable to any process, emission or effluent from the project. However, no such emissions or effluents are envisaged from Shagharthang Hydropower Project. 1 Defined as "any activity, plan, scheme, proposal or undertaking involving any change in the environment and includes-(a) construction or use of buildings or other works; (b) construction or use of roads or other transport systems; (c) construction or operation of factories or other installations; (d) mineral prospecting, mining, quarrying, stone-crushing, drilling and the like; (e) change of land use or water use; and (f) alteration, expansion, repair, decommissioning or abandonment of existing buildings or other work roads or other transport systems, factories or other installations. 2 The Ministry of Environment, Government of Pakistan has delegated the power of the Federal Agency for EIA and IEE reviews for projects falling in different provinces to the environmental protection agencies of the respective provinces. Federal Agency in this case is the Gilgit Baltistan Environmental Protection Agency. - 1 - IEE Report for Shagharthang Hydropower Project Pak - EPA in August 2000 issued “Policy and Procedures for Filing, Review and Approval of Environmental Assessment”, which includes Schedules A, B and C defining development projects in terms of requirements for EIA and IEE.

    Satpara Dam Project Initial Environmental Examination CHAPTER - 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND The Satpara dam multipurpose project with an installed capacity of 13.2 MW is proposed, in Northern Areas, 6 km south of Skardu city. It is located 16 km north of Deosai planes and about 3 km downstream of Satpara village. It is a natural lake formed by the glaciers having a surface area of 689 Acres. The dam has a dead storage of 38,500 acre-ft and live storage of 54,122 acre-ft. The project will generate 4.86 MW electricity from with one powerhouse and 13.2 MW with two powerhouses. The project will irrigate about 4,600 acres of land on right side of Satpara nullah and 10,400 acres of land on left side of Skardu city. The land on left side of the nullah is spread up to Hoto village just upstream of Ayub Bridge. To deliver power from the proposed powerhouse new transmission lines and improvement of existing transmission system will be required. Northern Areas of Pakistan is a land locked area with a population of 1.20 million(Census report 1998). At present more than 50% of the population (This figure is less for rural areas.) has access to electricity in their homes and many of those experience frequent load shedding, blackouts on daily basis through out the year. Economic growth in the country has severely been affected inadequate supply of power. Present domestic demand is increasing by a rate of 6 % per annum. The power demand of WAPDA system is forecast to increase at an annual average compound growth rate of 5.2 percent and 6.7 percent in case of low growth scenario and normal growth scenario respectively.

The distribution of Bufotes latastii, a diploid green toad species, is analyzed based on field observations and literature data. 74 localities are known, although 7 ones should be confirmed. The range of B. latastii is confined to northern Pakistan, Kashmir Valley and western Ladakh in India. All records of “green toads” (“Bufo viridis”) beyond this region belong to other species, both to green toads of the genus Bufotes or to toads of the genus Duttaphrynus. B. latastii is endemic to the Western Himalaya. Its allopatric range lies between those of bisexual triploid green toads in the west and in the east. B. latastii was found at altitudes from 780 to 3200 m above sea level. Environmental niche modelling was applied to predict the potential distribution range of the species. Altitude was the variable with the highest percent contribution for the explanation of the species distribution (36 %). urn:lSid:zOobank.Org:pub:0C76EE11-5D11-4FAB-9FA9-918959833BA5 INTRODUCTION Bufotes latastii (fig. 1) iS a relatively cOmmOn green toad species which spreads in KaShmir Valley, Ladakh and adjacent regiOnS Of nOrthern India and PakiStan.

  • The Gilgit ‘Textbook Controversy’ and Its Conflictual Context

    The Gilgit ‘Textbook Controversy’ and Its Conflictual Context

    Georg Stöber Religious Identities Provoked: The Gilgit ‘Textbook Controversy’ and its Conflictual Context1 Abstract Textbooks, and the curricula on which they are based, are often used to foster specific identities that might not be the identity of a substantial part of the population. If they meet with pre-existing strife, even textbooks can provoke violent outbreaks, which can only be understood in the context of the underlying conflict. This article will analyse one example, putting it in the context of textbook politics in South Asia. In Gilgit (Northern Areas of Pakistan), protests against presentations of religious practices in school textbooks resulted in riots and deaths in 2004 as well as in the closure of schools for one year. Even if this specific issue seemed to have been solved in May 2005, tension continued. The population of this region is religiously heterogeneous (despite being Muslim). Developments in the Islamic World elsewhere (Iran, Afghanistan) deepened the divide. The region experienced ‘sectarian clashes’ for quite some time, the authorities being unable or unwilling to control them. This regional case is linked to the general (not only educational) policies of Pakistan, especially to the promotion of “the ideology of Pakistan”. Despite meeting with some criticism, this concept is not only used to demarcate the Pakistani “self” from the (especially Indian) “other”, but also to do away with internal differences. However, the attempt at homogenisation is counterproductive where it can be interpreted as being directed against specific group identities and interests. On Thursday, June 3, 2004, “one person was killed and several were injured when Shia protestors clashed with security forces in Gilgit city”.2 As the correspondent wrote, the army had imposed a curfew and “was called out in Gilgit to maintain law and order” in expectation of demonstrations.
