LETTER FROM GREATER VISAKHAPATNAM MUNICIPAL CORPORATION CONFIRMING ITS CONTROL AND USE OF THE RESERVOIR I. INTRODUCTION A. Background 1. The proposed Visakhapatnam-Chennai Industrial Corridor Development Program (VCICDP) will complement ongoing efforts of the Government of Andhra Pradesh to enhance manufacturing sector growth and create high quality jobs in the state of Andhra Pradesh. The VCICDP comprises: (i) a policy-based loan to support policy reforms, and institutional development in the state’s industrial sector; and (ii) a multitranche financing facility (MFF) for priority infrastructure projects within the Visakhapatnam-Chennai Industrial Corridor. 2. Under VCICDP, a UCCRTF Grant has been provided to support Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) for developing infrastructure and providing services that are more climate change resilient. The grant focuses on investments in two components: (i) Component A. Watershed development and management program in Mudasarlova and rejuvenation of Mudasarlova lake that includes (a) enhancing water storage; (b) flood control; (c) checking sedimentation; (d) conservation of soil and water; (e) increasing green cover; and (f) recharging of ground water; (ii) Component B. Harnessing renewable energy and GHG reduction through (a) developing a solar energy park at Mudasarlova/Megadhrigadda lake; and (b) developing a pilot only e-Vehicle zone within the city by procuring and deploying e- Vehicles. 3. The proposed UCCRTF grant will be implemented by GVMC as part of the proposed VCICDP. The Department of Industries and Commerce, Government of Andhra Pradesh will be the executing agency and the GVMC will be the implementing agency. Moreover, Department of Municipal Administration and Urban Development will be responsible for major decision making in relation to project implementation and GVMC will be responsible for day-to-day project implementation activities B. Scope of this report 4. This land acquisition and resettlement due diligence report (DDR) is prepared for the 3 Megawatt Power (MWp) grid connected floating type Solar PV Power Project on Meghadrigedda Reservoir in Visakhapatnam District proposed under UCCRTF grant. 5. A due diligence process was conducted to examine land acquisition and resettlement issues in detail, in line with Asian Development Bank (ADB’s) Safeguard Policy Statement, 2009. This report describes the findings based on the screening site visits carried out on 18 January 2018 and 08 February 2018 and consultations had with officials of GVMC. Photographs of project location and google images prepared based on coordinates taken during the site visits is presented in this report. This land acquisition and resettlement DDR should be read along with the resettlement framework prepared for VCICDP. 6. Upon award of contract and before commencement of works, the Safeguard Manager, Social and Gender in the GVMC, the project implementation unit (PIU), will be required to undertake a review of this due diligence, update if there is any modification in the design of the project and submit to the Safeguard Officer in the project management unit (PMU) and ADB. 2 II. SUBPROJECT DESCRIPTION A. Proposed components 7. Subproject components proposed under the 3MWp grid connected floating type Solar PV Power Project include (i) installation of solar panels floating on the reservoir; (ii) feeder line to 33 Kilovolt (kV) Narawa substation; and (iii) floating walkway for access to solar unit. Table 1: Summary of Proposed Subproject Components Subproject Component Involuntary S.No Location Components Description Resettlement Impacts 1 Installation of Floating on the south Solar panels made from Floating solar panel will solar panels west part of the mono/poly crystalline be installed on 1% of the Meghadrigedda silicon solar cell area of the reservoir.

The floatation device will be prefabricated and designed for simple mechanical on-site installation. Hence, there will be no requirement of welding, masonry or complex machinery at the installation site. III. FIELD WORK AND CONSULTATION A. Outline of field work 9. Field inspection of proposed subproject facility locations was undertaken in January 2018 and again in February 2018. These included field visit to the Meghadrigedda Reservoir site, the proposed alignment of the feeder line along the bund, the 33 kV Narawa substation and discussions with GVMC officials. B. Consultation 10. Consultations were held with the key stakeholder, GVMC and it was ascertained that the floating solar system will be erected on the reservoir, which is assigned to GVMC for drinking water supply to Visakhapatnam and the feeder line traverses along the reservoir bund and connects to the 33 kV Narawa substation through an existing 11 kV Electric Pole (EP No. 11KV/MGR/1/1). There is no private land involved in this project. 11. GVMC held consultations with the residents of Jerripothulapalem village located near Meghadrigedda Reservoir. About 22 residents, mostly belonging to fisherman community participated in the consultations. The meeting was held at the residence of the local community leader, who chaired the meeting. The Assistant Executive Engineer and the jurisdictional Work Inspector of GVMC explained the details of the project and the benefits that GVMC will derive by establishing the floating solar plant. The fisherman reported that people from about 10 villages in the vicinity such as Jerripothulapalem, Nandavanipalem, Chintala Agraharam, Pedagadi, Porlupalem, Chintagatla etc., depend on fishing in the reservoir. Further, they expressed their concern on availability of space for fishing, if the reservoir is covered with solar panels. The GVMC engineer explained that an area of about 0.048 square kilometer (km2) only would be covered by solar panels and the remaining area 4.97 km2 out of the total area of 5.015 km2 area of the reservoir would continue to be available for fishing.

    J. Ind. Geophys. Union ( October 2012 ) Vol.16, No.4, pp. 179-187 Studies on Coastal Geomorphology along Visakhapatnam to Bhimunipatnam, East Coast of India M. Jagannadha Rao, Greeshma Gireesh A.G., P. Avatharam1, N.C. Anil2 and T. Karuna Karudu Delta Studies Institute, 1Dept of Geology, 2Dept. of Geo-Engineering, Andhra University, Visakhapatnam. ABSTRACT An attempt has been made to study and record the diverse coastal geomorphic features along Visakhapatnam – Bhimunipatnam coast. The study area is marked by geomorphic features resulted from various coastal and land ward processes. The geomorphic units under different heads namely, features formed by present day wave action, features formed due to sea level oscillations and features formed by rock and sea water interaction have been presented. The influence of sea level oscillations and land and sea interaction forms a diverse coastal geomorphology along the coast. The details of features such as beach, dune system, inter tidal deposits, red sediments, wave cut platform, marine terrace, sea stack, sea cave, serpent hood structures, promontories, wind gap and natural bridge have been recorded and the formation as well as significance of their occurrence are presented. The coastal geomorphology of the study area clearly established not only the sea level oscillations but also variations in climatic conditions in this part of the coast. INTRODUCTION PHYSIOGRAPHY Coastal geomorphology by definition is the study of The study area is characterized by Eastern Ghat the morphological development and evolution of the mobile belt. This area covered with denudational coast as it acts under the influence of winds, waves, hills of range between 30 to 594m above mean currents and sea level changes.

P. Pollution Control Board has issued a notification for holding environmental public hearing for NTPC Pudimadaka Super Thermal Power Project on August 12. The project for which NTPC has been allotted 1,200 acres by the A. P. Industrial Infrastructure Corporation at Pudimadaka, about 60 km from here in Atchutapuram and Rambilli mandals, will involve an investment of Rs.26,828 crore — the first major investment post-bifurcation. The EIA study for the project has been done by Vimta Labs of Hyderabad. The APPCB would put everything about the project on its website on Monday, Environmental Engineer R. Lakshminarayana told The Hindu . NTPC is also scouting for suitable site near Simhadri Super Thermal Power Station at Parawada to expand its capacity from 2,000 MW to 3,600 MW. Asked to comment on the project, NTPC-Pudimadaka Group General Manager P.S. Radhakrishnan said: “It will be a green power project, as the total requirement of coal will be imported to ensure higher efficiency levels and to put emissions at bare minimum.” He said the project would not need any land acquisition as the APIIC had already handed over 1,200 acres of developed area.
