Investment support will be provided to modernize and expand urban water supply and sanitation while strengthening relevant institutions to enhance efficiency, productivity and sustainability in water use. Mangalore 24x7 water supply distribution network subproject is one of the subprojects proposed in Tranche 2. Categorization. ADB requires the consideration of environmental issues in all aspects of the Bank’s operations, and the requirements for environmental assessment are described in its Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS), 2009. The proposed projects are categorized as A, B, C or FI to determine the level of environmental assessment required. Mangalore water supply subproject is classified as environmental category B as per ADB SPS, 2009 as no significant impacts are envisioned. Accordingly, this initial environmental examination (IEE) report has been prepared. The bulk water supply components proposed under the government funding are required for successful operation of this package. Thus, due diligence for both ADB- and government-funded components have been included in this IEE. Subproject Scope. Subproject includes the following components: (i) clear water feeder mains of 59.45 kilometers (km) of diameter 200 millimeters (mm) to 660 mm to overhead tanks (OHTs) and ground level service reservoirs (GLSRs); (ii) 14 OHTs and 2 GLSRs; (iii) distribution network of 789 km (diameter 63 mm to 500 mm); and (iv) replacement of 78,969 existing house service connections (HSC) along with meters and providing 11,031 new metered HSCs to uncovered households. Implementation Arrangements. Karnataka Urban Infrastructure Development and Finance Corporation (KUIDFC) is the executing agency responsible for overall technical supervision and execution of all subprojects funded under the investment program. Implementation activities are overseen by Program Management Unit (PMU) established in its head office at Bangalore in coordination with its regional office (RPMU) in Mangalore. PMU and RPMU are staffed with technical, administrative and financial officials, including safeguards specialists, to manage and monitor program implementation. The implementing agencies are the respective urban local bodies (ULBs). For this package, the implementing agency is Mangalore City Corporation (MCC). A Program Implementation Unit (PIU) has been set up for implementation of day-to-day activities in the field. A consultant team, Project Management, Design and Supervision Consultant (PMDCSC), assists PMU, RPMU and all PIUs in subproject planning and management, assures technical quality of design and construction, designs the infrastructure, and supervises construction including conducting all safeguards tasks. Description of the Environment. The subproject components are located in Mangalore urban area. Mangalore is located on the western coast, and it is important port city. There are no ecologically-sensitive areas such as protected areas, wetlands, mangroves, or estuaries in or near the subproject locations. All project sites (OHTs, GLSRs and pumping stations, except for the Nekkilagudda OHT site) are government-owned land parcels. Nekkilagudda OHT site is privately owned, and this is selected due to non-availability of government land at the location. All the pipelines will be laid along the public roads within the road right-of-way (ROW). Mangaladevi Temple in Mangalore City is an Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) protected monument, however, this is located outside the project impacted area; there are no works proposed in or close to the monument. The components of bulk water supply project, implemented under the government funded (AMRUT scheme and state funded), are mostly located within the existing ii project facilities; the new pipelines are proposed along the roads within the ROW, and of the six OHTs proposed, five are in private lands, while one is in government and falls in the coastal regulation zone (CRZ). Water Source sustainability. The source of water supply for Mangalore is the perennial Netravati River. To ensure adequate and continuous water supply throughout the year, a vented dam across the river at Thumbe (referred to as “Thumbe dam”) was constructed in 1993. Another dam 50 meters downstream of the vented dam was constructed and commissioned in 2016 to meet future water supply needs of Mangalore City. Thumbe dam is supplemented by the AMR Power Project dam constructed across the same river at Shamboor upstream of Thumbe. There is an agreement between MCC and AMR Power Project
