A. INTRODUCTION

1. Roads are the main mode of transportation in Chhattisgarh. National highways (NH6, NH16 and NH78) provide good east-west connections with neighboring states, and NH43 and NH200 provide the main north-south connection between Raipur, Bilaspur and Jagdalpur. However, the remaining roads in Chhattisgarh are mostly in poor conditions, and not passable in the monsoon season. This is especially true for roads in southern and northern Chhattisgarh, where most of the tribal people live. The total road length in Chhattisgarh is about 36,000 km with the road density less than 30 km per 100 km2 against the national average of 100 km per 100 km2. To improve state roads, Chhattisgarh Public Works Department (CGPWD) in 2002–2003, prepared a 10-Year Master Plan for Road Sector Development (MPRSD) for the years 2003 to 2012. MPRSD aims to (i) promote development of six main road corridors, (ii) remove capacity bottlenecks from the network to better connect rural areas, and (iii) support socioeconomic development by improving road access and connectivity among growth centers. Based on MPRSD, Government of Chhattisgarh prepared and approved a priority investment program for improvement (rehabilitation, strengthening and widening) of about 5,000 km of state roads at an estimated cost of about Rs 105 billion ($2 billion). CGPWD has improved many roads through Government funds and support from funding agencies including 1249 Km roads with the help of ADB. 2. The Government of Chhattisgarh (GoCG) plans to improve the state road network under Chhattisgarh State Roads Sector Development Project (CSRSDP) with the assistance of Asian Development Bank and for that has applied a loan through Government of India from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for the improvement of about 916 kms state roads in Chhattisgarh. This road up-gradation and rehabilitation project will improve transport efficiency of the State road network which will contribute to expansion of economic opportunities and poverty reduction. 3. The Chhattisgarh Public Works Department (CGPWD), Government of Chhattisgarh is the Executing Agency (EA) for the project. The nineteen project roads have been divided into three Groups (Group A, B &C). The Consultancy services have been engaged for advisory and construction supervision, institutional strengthening, social rehabilitation and resettlement, environmental mitigation and road safety measures. The construction supervision consultancy works have been awarded to following agencies 4. This project comprises of widening and strengthening of state highways and major district roads. Under Group A roads, there are 6 packages (Package-1 to 6) of about 273.30 km, under Group B roads, there are 8 packages (Package-7 & 8, Package-10 to 15) about 390.36 km and under Group-C roads, there are 4 packages (Packages -16 to 19) comprising of 191.944 km road network.

Figure 1 - Project Location Map 8. During the project implementation stage “Nandghat to Gidhoury” (SH–10)” has been bifurcated into two packages such as (i) Nandghat to Balodabazar (SH-10) under package-3 (length-42.19 km); and (ii) Baloda Bazar to Gidhoury (SH-9) under package-4 (length- 49.04 km). This report is proposed as addendum to the ADB approved IEE report prepared for Nandghat to Gidhoury (SH–10). The addendum to IEE report has been prepared due to change of scope of work from two lanes to four lanes at five different sections. Out of these five, two sections come under package 3 {Batapara [km 14.200 to km 19.500 (excluding RoB)] and Balodabazar (km 39.100 to km 43.840)} and three sections come under package 4 {Balodabazar(km 43.840 to km 45.200), Lawan (km 60.100 to km 61.910) and Kasdol (km 68.600 to km 71.774)}. 9. This addendum to IEE report would capture information on the environmental consequences associated with change of scope. This report will also cover the field based environmental due diligence studies to ascertain presence of any residual environmental impacts since the sub-projects were implemented without undertaking environmental assessments and suggest specific remedial measures, if any to address such residual impacts.

B. APPLICABLE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES AND OTHER LEGISLATIONS

10. As per the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, GoI, vide its Notification No. S.O. 1533 dated 14-09- 2006 and its subsequent amendment, the environmental clearance is not applicable under the sub-project. Aside from SPS 2009, the project needs to comply with the requirements provided by the GoI acts, rules, notifications, standards, and policies and other state level guidelines that apply to the project. The relevant regulations and other legislations are given in chapter 2 of ADB approved IEE report, July 2012 are applicable for this subproject.

C. SUB-PROJECT DESCRIPTION

11. As per ADB approved IEE prepared in July 2012, the project involves widening of existing roads within available ROW to 2-lane carriageway (7.0 m wide with 3.5 m width of each lane and 2.5m earthen shoulder either side). The total length of the project road is 91.23 km. The road provides safe and rapid transport link between NH-6 at Nandghat and Balodabazar upto Gidhoury and further to Shivri Narayan, which is famous religious and tourist place. During the implementation stage this Nandghat to Gidhoury Road (91.23 km) is splited in two packages namely Package 3: Nandghat to Balodabazar (SH-10) Compraising of 42.19 km and Package 4: Baloda Bazar to Gidhaoury (SH – 9) comprising 49.04 km. 12. During the implementation stage the widening of road was undertaken for 4 lane carriageways instead of 2-lane at five chainages. The 4-lane carriageway included 14.0 m wide road with 3.5 m width of each lane, 1.2 median and 1.3 m of drainage on both sides. The hard shoulder will varies from 1.6m to 2.5m depending on the available RoW; as the work will be carried out within the existing RoW. 13. This addendum to ADB approved IEE report is being prepared due to upgradation of two lanes to four lanes at two stretches of package 3 and at three stretches of package 4 sub- projects.

D. APPROACH FOR ADDENDUM PREPRATION

16. The Addendum to ADB-approved IEE report (July 2012) has been prepared based on field visits, carrying out discussion with field staffs and the officials of executing agency (EA) conducted during project implementation stage. The information gathered during site visit has been used to update the Rapid Environmental Assessment (REA) Checklist (Annexure I), which assisted in screening, categorization of sub-project and anticipating potential impacts on environment due to construction of sub-project.

E. DESCRIPTION OF ENVIRONMENT

17. The sub-project is located in district Raipur. The descriptions of environment for this district have been captured in Chapter 3.0 (Description of Environment) of ADB-approved IEE report prepared in July 2012, which adequately capture the environmental setting in the district and may be referred. The testing of environmental parameters such as ambient air quality, ambient noise levels and water quality have been conducted package wise under the project covered in different environmental monitoring reports. The environmental features along the sections from Km 14.200 to Km 19.500 (excluding ROB), Km 39.100 to Km 43.840, Km 43.840 to Km 45.200, Km 60+100 to Km 61.910 and Km 68.600 to Km 71.774.has been collected from site and given in the table 5.

F. POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

18. The preparation of this addendum is accordance to specified criteria provided in the Environmental Assessment Review Framework (EARF). These criteria were used for identifying the potential environmental impacts due to the sub-project in ADB-approved IEE report under the Chapter 5. The REA checklist prepared for the sub-project forms the basis for assessment of potential environmental impacts and suggesting mitigation measures. 19. No additional environmental impacts are anticipated due to widening of road from 2 lane (as per scope provided in ADB approved IEE report) to 4 lane (Changed scope of work). The change in scope of work does not involve any additional tree cutting, structure damage, impact on water bodies and environmental sensitive area. The upgradation of road is being undertaken within the existing RoW thus no land acquisition is required. Thus, the no additional mitigation measures are suggested. 20. The roads under package 3 and package 4 [Nandghat to Gidhoury (SH-10) Subproject] do not pass through any forest land. However, to up-grades the roads tree cutting is inevitable. During implementation stage, a total of trees (2549 trees in Package III and 3434 trees in Package IV), of which only 1949 and 3131 trees may need to be cut in actual within ROW in Package III and Package IV respectively. The number of trees impacted for upgradation to 4 lane remains same as for 2 lane, as there are no additional tree cutting involved due to change in scope of work. The details of trees required to be cut under package III and package IV is provided in table 6 and permission obtained from competent

10 authority for package III and package IV are provided below in Annexure VI and Annexure VII respectively. 21. The tree cutting required for widening of road to 2 lane road and 4 lane road remained same as no additional tree cutting was required for widening of road to 4 lane. This to clarify that the widening of road to 4 lane is done under the existing RoW and no land acquisition is involved. Table 6 - Details of Tree Cutting Package Permission Obtained Actual No. of No. of Trees Cut As on Saving of No. from Collector for Trees to be Cut 31st December 2017 Trees cutting of Trees III 2549 1949 1949 600 IV 3434 3131 3131 303 22. For each tree to be cut for the road widening, the concerned authority in their permission letters have imposed condition that 10 times the trees should be planted preferable near to the existing roads as compensatory plantation. The details of payment made to State Forest Department under each package for tree cutting and compensatory plantations are provided in table 7. Table 7 - Details of Payment to Forest Department Package Payments Done to Forest Department Forest Division No. As on 30thJune, 2017(Rs. in Lacs) For Cutting of Trees Compensatory Plantation III 26.80 57.29 DFO Balodabazar Sub Total 26.80 57.29 IV 37.60 101.02 DFO Balodabazar Sub Total 37.60 101.02 23. The change in scope of work will not change the environmental category of the project i.e. Category-B as no additional environmental impact is anticipated. Moreover, the widening of road from 2 to 4 lane is within the RoW of existing road. The potential environmental impacts anticipated remains same and are specifically capture in Section 4.0 of ADB- approved IEE report, which is also valid during widening of road to 4 lane.

G. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT

24. The ADB-approved IEE report has suggested appropriate measures to mitigate impacts associated with construction activities. An Environmental Management Plan (Annexure III) has been prepared for the project that discusses the anticipated impacts, monitoring requirements, and development of mitigation measures with respect to the following stages: (i) Pre-Construction, (ii) Construction, and (iii) Operation and Maintenance. The environmental management plan was made part of contract agreement for contractor’s mandatory compliance to EMP. 25. The impacts associated with the sub-project are mainly due to activities during construction stage. As no additional environmental impacts are anticipated due to the change in scope of work. Thus, the Environmental Management Plan prepared for the project is adequate to mitigate the impacts due to sub-project.

H. INSTITUTIONAL REQUIREMENTS AND ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PLAN

26. Chhattisgarh State Roads Sector Development Project (CSRSDP) has taken up civil works for road up-gradation and rehabilitation, Consultancy services have been engaged for advisory and construction supervision, institutional strengthening, social rehabilitation and resettlement, environmental mitigation and road safety measures.

This chapter ascertains presence of any residual environmental impacts due to implementation of works at five chainages i.e. Km 14.200 to Km 19.500 (excluding ROB) at Batapara, Km 39.100 to Km 43.840 at Baloda bazar, Km 43.840 to Km 45.200 at Baloda bazar, Km 60+100 to Km 61.910 at Lawan and Km 68.600 to Km 71. 774.at Kasdol where scope of work is changed from the original provided scope and suggests appropriate, time- bound corrective measures to address those residual environmental impacts. The photographs of field visit are provided in Annexure VIII. 39. The various aspects considered for field-based environmental due diligence are elaborated below: (a) Confirmation of EMP in contractor’s contract agreement: EMP is made part of contractor’s contractor agreement and the contractor’s compliance to EMP is being monitored by carrying out field visits from time to time during the project implementation. The change of scope in package-III and package-IV have not resulted in any addition environmental implication. No impact is anticipated on environmental sensitive area, structures and water bodies in the area where the road is being upgraded from 2 lane to 4 lane. Moreover, the upgradation of road is being undertaken in the existing RoW. Thus, the upgradation of EMP is not required due to change of scope.

(b) Compliance status during pre-construction and construction stage of the subproject(s): Environmental Management Plan is made part of contractor’s contract agreement and contractor is mandate to comply with the environmental implications provided in the EMP.

(c) Status of statutory permission applicable for the sub-project(s), if any: No additional statutory permission is required due to change of scope in package-III and package IV. The applicable statutory permissions such as (i) consent to establish and operate of construction plants; (ii) , permission to withdrawal of construction water from surface and ground water sources; (iii) quarry lease deed and quarry license from state department of mines and geology; (iv) labor licenses and associated insurance policy/workmen compensation; and (v) permission of storage handling and transport of hazardous material have been obtained by the respective civil contractors. , The civil contractors have also renewed the required statutory permissions for the sub-project.

(d) Status on implementation of environmental mitigation measures, if any and testing of environmental parameters of ambient air quality and ambient noise levels along the sub-projects as per agreed monitoring plan, if any: environmental monitoring for ambient air quality, water quality and ambient noise level have been carried out as per given ADB- approved environmental monitoring plan (Refer Annexure IV). All the test results are within permissible limits and no impacts on air quality, water quality and ambient noise levels are anticipated due to change of scope under package-III and package IV.

(e) Residual environmental impacts, if any with appropriate, time-bound corrective measures: The civil contactors is reminded from time to time, to follow the environmental management plan and the mitigation measures as per EMP. No environmental impact has been noticed. Thus, no added corrective measure is required/suggested.

(f) Public consultations during project implementation stages: Public consultation is being carried out as a part of continuous participation of public in the proposed project during the implementation stage. The details of public consultations carried out for the changed scope of subproject are provided in Chapter J of this addendum to IEE report. The public consultations being carried out during project implementation stage are also being updated in the subsequent semi-annual environmental monitoring reports.

(g) Status of grievances, if any, received due to implementation of the sub-projects: The grievance redressal committee are setup in all the concern districts (Annexure V). The details of GRC are provided in Chapter I of this addendum to IEE report. No grievance related to environmental issue for any subproject is recorded.

(h) Conclusions: No major environmental impact is predicted due to the change in scope of subproject.

L. CONCLUSION

40. This addendum to IEE report is based upon the environmental assessment and review framework (EARF) which is consistent with the ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS) 2009. The subproject is classified as category “B” for environmental and does not require further environmental impact assessment. The ADB-approved EMP prepared for the project is valid and the same is recommended for adoption during implementation stage.
