1.0 INTRODUCTION

1. Asian Development Bank (ADB) has extended a multi-tranche financing facility to the Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Prasaran Nigam (RRVPNL), which is the state transmission utility (STU), of Government of Rajasthan under the Rajasthan Renewable Energy Transmission Investment Program (RRETIP). The project supports evacuation of power from Western Rajasthan including the facilities coming up at the 250 MW Phase 1 of the Bhadla solar park, Jodhpur district, Rajasthan for which Rajasthan Renewable Energy Corporation (RREC) is the nodal agency. The RRETIP supports the addition of 4,240 MW of clean energy in the grid in Western Rajasthan. The RRETIP activities support solar power development in a cost-effective manner in Rajasthan.

2. RRVPNL is the Executing Agency (EA) along with the Energy Department, Government of Rajasthan. The project outcome is the development of a reliable evacuation system for power from various renewable energy projects coming up in western Rajasthan including projects at the Bhadla solar park. Physical outputs under the entire Investment Program includes the construction of three grid substations (400/220/132 kilo Volt) and associated facilities at Bhadla, Ramgarh and Jaisalmer; the construction of associated automation and control infrastructure, the construction of nine grid substations (9 220/132 kV) and associated facilities at Bap, Kanasar, Chhatrail, Pokaran, Kolayat, Ramdev Nagar, Badisid, Aau and Bajju; the augmentation of four 400 kilo Volt (kV) grid substations at Akal, Jodhpur, Barmer, Bikaner; the upgradation of 3 substations to 132 kV in Bhadla; and the construction of nearly 1850 km of 400 kV, 220 kV and 132 kV of transmission lines in Western Rajasthan by RRVPNL. Non-physical outputs include improving institutional capacity and effectiveness, including planning, project management, community involvement, financial management and improved monitoring and reporting.

1.2 Purpose of the report 3. The RRETIP’s Tranche 1 was assessed for technical aspects as well as for environmental and social impacts in 2012. Accordingly, the Environmental Assessment and Review Framework (EARF) for the entire RRETIP (including future tranches) and the initial environment assessment for tranche 1 were approved for implementation between RRVPNL and ADB.

4. The sub-project under consideration for this environmental compliance audit report (ECAR) for under construction 400 KV (Quad Moose) double circuit Akal-Jodhpur (new) transmission line will be funded under Tranche 1 as a scope change sub-project. Given the exigencies of the power evacuation needs in the state of Rajasthan, the transmission towers are being constructed using RRVPNL funds while the conductor (400 kV Moose Conductor) will be procured using RRETIP funds. Accordingly, for this compliance audit purposes, the transmission line towers have been considered as an associate facility while the conductor is the sub-project funded component.

1.3 Methodology Followed 5. The environmental assessment of current status of the implementation of project activities for the transmission lines under construction was done in August 2015. This included a review of the construction activities for environment, health and safety compliances, documentation of the status of compliance to RRETIP’s Environmental Management Plan (EMP) requirements by the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contractor and review the procedure employed by the EPC contractor to document mitigation activities, if any.

6. Methodology used for field data collection were the following:  Assessment was based on reviewing status of all tower locations under construction by RRVPNL’s EPC contractor. 1 Environmental Audit Report and Corrective Action Plan for RRVPNL

 Interviewing representatives of the EPC contractor/sub-contractors engaged on the transmission tower erection along with the survey team and RRVPNL officials.  Interviewing Project Affected Households (PAHs), in particular, on whose land the tower is erected and any other severely affected persons or groups regarding their feedback on construction practices followed.  Review if any complaint has been received by RRVPNL; review the complaint redress process and its current redressal.  Comparing EARF/EMP of RRETIP with the applied work practices and the policy framework of the project by RRVPNL.

1.4 Compliance Audit Framework and Evaluation Criteria 7. The Environmental compliance audit that has been conducted has been evaluated against the following criteria:  Applicable Local and National environment, occupational safety, health and social legislations;  ADB Safeguard Policy Statement (2009);  All requirements and mitigating or monitoring measures specified in the Environmental Assessment and Review Framework (EARF) for RREIP 2012 as well as the IEE for Tranche 1.

1.5 Approach to the Environmental Compliance Audit 8. The Environmental Compliance Audit was broadly divided into four tasks:  Document review;  Site visit and consultation with RRVPNL officials and EPC contractor/sub-contractors;  Generic community, project affected people (PAPs) and workers consultations during the site visit;  Assessment of work practices followed, gaps and compliance analysis; and  Reporting.

2.2 Institutional Arrangement and Responsibilities

11. RRVPNL has implemented World Bank program on power transmission in the past following an Environmental Social Management Framework (ESMF) developed for the project. The normal work practice of RRVPNL involves following all GOI and donor norms on environment and social safeguards compliances. The borrower has adequate in-house institutional capacity in implementing national laws and Asian Development Bank (ADB) requirements. The capacity development needs were identified and included in tranche 1. Some of the nonphysical investment include: improving institutional capacity and effectiveness, including planning, project management, community involvement, financial management and improved monitoring and reporting.

12. The RRVPNL is the Executing Agency (EA) along with the Energy Department, Government of Rajasthan for the project. RRVPNL has three divisions: i) Engineering and Projects Division (responsible for project design and implementation) ii) Accounts and Finance Division (responsible for accounts, funding arrangements) and iii) Development Division (responsible for energy sales, land identification and development).

13. The RRVPNL has constituted a Project Management Unit (PMU) shown in Figure 1 for implementing the ADB loan at the corporate level and the PMU will be supported for 3 Environmental Audit Report and Corrective Action Plan for RRVPNL

implementation activities through the RRVPNL field/zonal offices. The PMU is headed by the Chief Engineer (T&C) and the Superintending Engineer (Planning) is responsible for coordinating all external functions with ADB. GOI, DEA, GOR as well as the internal functions such as Environment and Social/R&R reporting, Legal, Finance and Accounts, Field Project offices, Procurement and Contracts etc. and other functions from within RRVPNL.

14. The field office of RRVPNL (Zonal office at Jodhpur for this project) has the overall responsibility to manage the site activities. The RRVPNL ensures that EPC contractor engaged for each project is involved in EMP monitoring and implementation. Further details on agencies responsible for EMP activities are in Table 2.

2.3 RRVPNL’s Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) and Procedure 15. RRVPNL does not have any specific Environment or Social Safeguards Policy currently. However, RRVPNL has agreed to follow the environmental principles listed in the EARF document of the RRETIP project. RRVPNL has established a Grievance Redressal Mechanism1 (GRM) that has suitable grievance redress procedure for the project affected persons. This GRM addresses affected persons’ concerns and complaints promptly, using an understandable and transparent process that is gender responsive, culturally appropriate, and readily accessible to the affected persons at no cost. This GRM consists of a Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) headed by the Project Head. The committee consists of the following constitution as listed in Table 3:

Table 3: Constitution of Grievance Redress Committee 1 Project Head / CE (ADB Projects ), RRVPNL 2 Sub District Magistrate or nominee of SDM 3 Land acquisition officer / Secretary 4 Head of Finance wing at the project level 5 Representative of local Panchayat/ NGO 6 Representative of contractor 7 Executive Engineer, RRVPNL Source: EARF document 2012

16. This Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) provides an effective approach for resolution of complaints and issues of the affected person/community. Project Management Unit (PMU) shall formulate procedures for implementing the GRM. The Zonal Office of RRVPNL at Jodhpur is the Project Implementing Unit (PIU), which is the undertakes GRM’s initiatives that includes procedures of taking/recording complaints, handling of on-the-spot resolution of minor problems, taking care of complainants and provisions of responses to distressed stakeholders etc. paying particular attention to the impacts on vulnerable groups.

1 ADB requires that the borrower/client establish and maintain a grievance redress mechanism to receive and facilitate resolution of affected peoples’ concerns and grievances about the borrower's/client's social and environmental performance at project level. The grievance redress mechanism should be scaled to the risks and impacts of the project. It should address affected people's concerns and complaints promptly, using an understandable and transparent process that is gender responsive, culturally appropriate, and readily accessible to all segments of the affected people.

17. Grievances of APs are first brought to the attention of the Project head of the Project Implementing Unit. Grievances not redressed by the PIU are brought to the Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) set up to monitor project Implementation for each project area. The GRC, if convened, determines the merit of each grievance, and resolve grievances within three months of receiving the complaint. The complainant has the right to seek grievances redressal directly through the appropriate courts of law. The field office keeps records of all grievances received including: contact details of complainant, date that the complaint was received, nature of grievance, agreed corrective actions and the date these were effected, and final outcome. The flow chart showing Grievance Redress Mechanism is presented in Figure 2.

3.0 DUE DILIGENCE REVIEW OF ENVIRONMENTAL SAFEGUARD COMPLIANCE

3.1 Environmental Policy Compliance requirements

18. As per Government of India’s (GoI) Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) Notification 2009, Power transmission projects are not listed as environmental sensitive projects and hence no clearance is required from Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board (RSPCB) or Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change (MoEF&CC), GoI. Clearance from Rajasthan Forest Department is required only in cases where subproject is constructed on forest land or requires cutting of forest trees. The National Environmental Policy 2006 of Government of India (GoI) and Safeguard Policy Statement 2009 of ADB and other state level guidelines that apply to all subprojects funded by ADB are listed in Annexure 1. In addition, projects should comply with relevant international treaties to which India is a signatory such as the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, International Covenant on Economic, Cultural and Social Rights and International Labor Organisation (ILO) Core Conventions, and all other ILO Conventions ratified by the country.

19. For funding of existing facilities, ADB’s SPS 2009 states in clause, 12 below. 1. “For projects involving facilities and/or business activities that already exist or are under construction, the borrower/client will undertake an environment and/or social compliance audit, including on-site assessment, to identify past or present concerns related to impacts on the environment, involuntary resettlement, and Indigenous Peoples. The objective of the compliance audit is to determine whether actions were in accordance with ADB’s safeguard principles and requirements for borrowers/clients and to identify and plan appropriate measures to address outstanding compliance issues. Where noncompliance is identified, a corrective action plan agreed on by ADB and the borrower/client will be prepared. The plan will define necessary remedial actions, the budget for such actions, and the time frame for resolution of noncompliance. The audit report (including corrective action plan, if any) will be made available to the public in accordance with the information disclosure requirements of the Safeguard Requirements 1–3. For environment category A projects involving facilities and/or business activities that already exist or are under construction, the borrower/client will submit the audit report to ADB to disclose on ADB's website at least 120 days prior to ADB Board approval. If a project involves an upgrade or expansion of existing facilities that has potential impacts on the environment, involuntary resettlement, and/or Indigenous Peoples, the requirements for environmental and social impact assessments and planning specified in Safeguard Requirements 1-3 will apply in addition to compliance audit”.

20. RRVPNL projects are expected to comply with ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS, 2009), Social Protection Strategy (2001), ADB Gender and Development Policy (1998), Public Communication Policy (2011), and other social requirements as well as with that of the Government of India and make it ready for possible financing by the ADB.

21. The EARF for RRETIP was developed and agreed between RRVPNL and ADB to ensure that the Program complies with the provisions of ADB's SPS 2009 and Indian laws (described in Annexure 1.) The EARF provisions guide RRVPNL in the selection, screening and categorization, environmental assessment, and preparation and implementation of safeguard plans (such as an environmental management plan or EMP) of all Tranche funded projects. Preparation of any environmental assessment documents by RRVPNL for funding of next Tranches or sub-projects in future must follow the procedures outlined in the EARF. Since the environmental assessment reports and environmental management plans to be prepared for subsequent tranches are the Borrower's documents, these documents shall be officially endorsed by RRVPNL and submitted to ADB.

13 Environmental Audit Report and Corrective Action Plan for RRVPNL

4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN (EMP) & BUDGET

31. RRVPNL has followed the standard GOI procedure for notifying the public about the erection of the tower line between Akal and Jodhpur Grid substations by publishing Rajasthan state’s Gazette Notification for Transmission Line Construction in Annexure 3 and also procuring Forest clearance for Transmission Line as attached in Annexure 4.

32. Tata Projects Limited, the EPC contractor has a corporate Environment Health and Safety (EHS) policy that is followed by all its EPC projects. The details of EPC Contractor Environment Health and Safety (EHS) Policy is listed in Annexure 5.

33. Following the Rajasthan states/GOI established procedure, RRVPNL has calculated and disbursed the Crop Compensation directly to the affected persons. This procedure is followed for all utilities companies across India where the affected person is compensated for any crop or tree that is damaged by each stage of construction of the line. Sample sheets for crop compensation are shown in Annexure 6.

4.1 Compliance with RRETIP EMP 34. The EARF agreed between RRVPNL and ADB which specifies the compliance process with applicable national and local laws and ADB’s SPS 2009 (SR1 for Environment) including avoiding and mitigating the environmental impacts of their existing operations as listed in RRETIP tranche 1 EMP. This EMP includes mitigation measures related to impacts on solid waste management plan, wastewater management plan, pollution prevention and abatement plan, emergency management plan, waste management plan, storm water management plan, occupation health and safety management plan, and wildlife management. The EMP and its environmental monitoring plan is then monitored by RRVPNL and the EPC contractor.

35. Annexure 7 shows photographs from site visit to transmission line. Aspects such as transmission line construction stages, EPC store, sub-contractor camp, ROW - General Crops and terrain in area, trees etc. and consultations with affected persons are shown in various photographs.

36. The RRETIP Tranche 1 (from IEE document) has been used to compare all aspects assessed for audit. Table 7 shows only the “transmission line construction aspects” from RRETIP EMP as a baseline review any compliance related issues with this under construction project.

37. For this compliance audit purposes, the transmission line towers have been considered as an associate facility on which the RRETIP funded conductor will be strung.

38. Associated facilities, as defined by ADB's SPS 2009 (Appendix 1, para. 6, p.31), "are not funded as part of the project (funding may be provided separately by the borrower/client or by third parties), and whose viability and existence depend exclusively on the project and whose goods or service are essential for successful operation of the project…"

20 Environmental Audit Report and Corrective Action Plan for RRVPNL

6.0 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION 47. The environmental compliance audit of the associated facility 400 kV D/C Quad ACSR Moose Akal (Jaisalmer) – Jodhpur (New) Transmission Line (under construction) was conducted as per RRETIP’s EARF document which is an agreed framework between RRVPNL and ADB that conforms to Government’s rules, regulations and standards and ADB’s SPS 2009 guidelines.

6.1 Summary Audit Findings and Corrective Action Plan 48. The findings of audit conducted is documented in Table 7, while Table 8 and Table 9 give the best practices followed and improvements required respectively. Table 10 provides the CAP. Several photographs in Annexure 7 are attached that document the above observations.

49. Finally, the Compliance audit conducted identifies the following strengths and weaknesses of RRVPNL:

Strengths 50. RRVPNL has taken suitable steps for meeting environmental and social compliance as per Government of India, state government through their respective forest departments and the district revenue officials. It is therefore felt that ADB’s SPS 2009 requirements can be fully met by the company.

51. Engagement of RRVPNL and EPC contractor/sub-contractor with its community and affected persons in the immediate project area related to environmental aspects is satisfactory.

52. RRVPNL has an operational contracting system with its EPC contractor. Responsibilities of the EPC contractor/sub-contractors with regards to the mandatory EHS compliance requirements in their contracts with RRVPNL are proper. Furthermore, RRVPNL keeps sufficient monetary (fiscal) incentives/dis-incentives to ensure compliance with RRETIP’s EMP.

Weaknesses: 53. RRVPNL needs to hire one trained Environment and Social professional at PMU to assist in safeguard monitoring as per ADB requirements including monitoring and reporting on the environmental compliance with applicable national laws.

54. Documentation at the field office regarding compliance level environmental monitoring and audit of EMP activities needs to be maintained.

6.2 Output/outcome 55. Environment: The proposed scope change in RRETIP Tranche 1 of RRVPNL is expected to be classified as environment category B under the ADB’s SPS 2009.

56. Land-use: There are neither forestlands nor private lands that have been procured by the government within the identified tower sites. The land is mostly agricultural in nature that is not irrigated from canals; but rather based on rains in the area. The single season crops are mostly Bajra, Moong, Til and Gwar, etc. During the audit, it was confirmed with affected persons were consulted by RRVPNL, EPC contractor and district revenue officials during the measurements of crop damage and calculation of payable amounts to each of them.

57. Health and Safety: Proper health and safety systems are being followed by the EPC contractor which are documented in their corporate declarations.

ANNEXURE-1

(APPLICABLE ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS, REGULATIONS AND ADB SPS 2009) Annexure 1

Summary of national, local, and any other applicable environmental laws, regulations, and standards and ADB SR 1 A1.1 Environmental Regulatory and Policy Framework Selection

9. Government of India, (GoI), State Governments, State Pollution Control Boards and ADB’s SPS 2009 policies and procedures apply to all projects. Solar Photovoltaic Power generation projects are normally classified by ADB as Category B, and distribution projects are normally classified as Category B or C. Category A may apply to projects located in environmentally sensitive areas1. For each major investment component, an Environment and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) will be prepared by RRVPNL following ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement, 2009, Environmental Assessment Guidelines, 2003 and applicable National environmental laws and regulations. Based on these ESIA reports, the environmental management plan (EMP) and a corresponding budget will be prepared for each sub-project.

A1.2. National/Local Government Environment Classification

10. Under the GoI’s Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) Notification 2009, the environmental classification of projects is determined by Ministry of Forest and Environment (MoEF),GoI and there are two possible outcomes:

 Category A: A project is classified as Category A if it is likely to have significant negative impacts and is thus one of the types of project listed in this category in the EIA Notification. Such projects require EIA, plus Environmental Clearance (EC) from MoEF;

 Category B: A project is classified as Category B if it is likely to have fewer negative impacts and is listed in this category in the EIA Notification. These projects require EC from the State Environment Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA), who classify the project as B1 (requiring EIA) or B2 (no requiring EIA), depending on the level of potential impacts. Projects classified as B2 require no further study.

11. As per EIA Act 2009, Solar Photovoltaic Power Generation projects are not listed as environmental sensitive project and no clearance is required from State Pollution Control Board (PCB) or MoEF. Clearance from Forest department is required only in case where project is constructed on forest-land or requires cutting of any forest tree/trees or passes through buffer zone of a sanctuary and/or national park.

A1.5 Asian Development Bank’s Environment Classification

13. The proposed project will be classified as one of the following categories on any of the three safeguards (environment, involuntary resettlement and indigenous peoples) as per ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement 2009:

Category A: Environment - The project has potential significant adverse social or environmental impacts which may be diverse, irreversible or unprecedented. These impacts may affect an area larger than the sites or facilities subject to physical works.

Category B: Environment - The project has limited potential adverse social or environmental impacts that are few in number, generally site-specific, largely reversible, usually evident at the time of the assessment, and readily addressed through mitigation measures, which typically require a limited or focused environmental and/or social assessment, or straight- forward application of environmental siting, pollution standards, design criteria, or construction standards.

Category C: Environment - The project has minimal or no adverse social or environmental impacts, which are not generally subject to further assessment (beyond their identification as such) except for the requirements for customer certification/disclosure of compliance/noncompliance with local and national environmental, health and safety and labour laws and regulations.

14. Based on the category of the investment, the applicable requirements are summarized. For projects that are categorized as A or B with respect to environment (i)
