1.0 PROJECT BACKGROUND

Jammu airport is located near Satwari, 6 km from Jammu Tawi railway station, 110 km away from Pathankot airport and 1 km from National Highway no. 1. There is consistent demand from all stakeholders to extend the runway to meet out the safety requirement. As per DGCA there are two safety issues at Jammu Airport and theses are pertaining to short runway length and provision of RESA for RWY 36. Due to vehicular traffic on civil road at a distance of 80 feet from runway 18 the threshold has been further displaced by 200 feet. The declared distances at Jammu Airport are as follows:

RWY TORA TODA ASDA LDA 36 6700 ft 6700 ft 6700 ft 6700 ft 18 6700 ft 6900 ft 6900 ft 6500 ft

The extension of runway 18 by 700ft. was completed in year 2001-02; the extension of runway 36 by 1300ft could not be taken up due to non-availability of land (army land) & shifting of public roads and irrigation channels passing through the proposed extension area. Out of transfer of approx. 17.05 acres of land belonging to Army, till date army has given working permission to work in area of approx. 2.51 Acre. Further the handing over process is nearing completion and the board proceedings for final land transfer shall be completed by 30th june, 2018 as confirmed by DEO, jammu.

Hence to meet out the safety standards there is urgent need to extend the runway.

1.1 Project Proponent

Airports Authority of India (AAI) was constituted by an Act of Parliament and came into being on 1st April 1995. Currently, it manages a total of 125 Airports, which include 11 International Airports, 08 Customs Airports, 81 Domestic Airports and 25 Civil Enclaves at Defense Airfields. AAI also provides Air Traffic Management Services (ATMS) over entire Indian Air Space and adjoining oceanic areas with ground installations at all Airports and 25 other locations to ensure safety of Aircraft operations.

Purpose of Resubmission

TOR was accorded by MoEF&CC vide its letter no: F.No.10-19/2015-IA.III, dated: 14 th August, 2015. As per referred TORs, the validity of TORs is upto 14 th August, 2018. The purpose of resubmission is for extension of validity period of TOR for one more year ie; upto 14 th August, 2019 and to amend the TOR as it was observed the presence of Ramnagar Rakh Sanctuary and 4 archeological sites namely – Bahu fort,

Pirmitha Tomb at Pirmitha & Mast Garh Shahi, Masjid and Mubarak mandi heritage complex within study area representing 10 km study area.

1.2 Need for the Project

RWY TORA TODA ASDA LDA 36 6700 ft 6700 ft 6700 ft 6700 ft 18 6700 ft 6900 ft 6900 ft 6500 ft

Initially scope of work was prepared in year 1999 for extension of runway at Jammu Airport to cater for operation of A-321/B-737-800 type of aircraft. It was planned to extend runway 18 by 700ft. (i.e. towards runway 36 side) and runway 36 by 1300ft. (i.e. towards runway 18 side). The extension of runway 18 by 700ft. was completed in year 2001-02; the extension of runway 36 by 1300ft could not be taken up due to non-availability of land (army land) & shifting of public roads and irrigation channels passing through the proposed extension area. Out of transfer of approx. 17.05 acres of land belonging to Army, till date army has given working permission to work in area of approx. 2.51 Acre. Further the handing over process is nearing completion and the board proceedings for final land transfer shall be completed by 30th june, 2018 as confirmed by DEO, jammu

Hence to meet out the safety standards there is urgent need to extend the runway.

2.6 Water & Power Requirements

Water Requirement

The total water requirement for the entire airport is about 193 KLD. Out of this, about 30% is provided by Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC) and the balance water requirement is met through two tube wells of AAI existing within the airport.

As part of the extension of the runway, only construction water will be required.

Power Requirement

It is estimated that about 700 KVA of power is being consumed. The power is taken from Power Distribution Department, J&K.

Existing standby source

• NDB : 2 x 380 KVA; and • Radar: 1 x 250 KVA and 1 x 125 KVA.

The fuel consumption is about 120 liters per day. The DG facility has a total storage capacity of 2000 liters.

2.7 Wastewater Generation & management

The wastewater generation mainly consists of sanitary waste, sewage from airport terminal, flight kitchen, effluent from the workshop etc. The sewage and sanitary waste from the buildings and airport terminal will be treated in Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) comprising primary, secondary and tertiary treatment facilities. The treated wastewater from the STP will be used for air conditioning, cooling water make-up and green belt development.

The 200 KLD of wastewater treatment plant have been operational at Jammu Airport. The entire wastewater that is generated from the airport is recycled and reused for non potable purposes.

2.8 Solid Waste Management

Solid waste generated from the proposed airport mainly comprises of food waste and garbage waste. Further, small quantities of sludge from STP, medical waste and other waste will be generated. Collection and handling of domestic solid waste would be done in line with the provisions of the Municipal Solid Waste Rules 2000 (as amended).

3.0 SITE ANALYSIS

3.1 Connectivity

The remaining 135 acres of land is already under possession of Airports Authority of India (AAI). Presently the airport is in operation and currently operates about 30 operations per day (15 landings and 15 take-offs.

3.3 Topography

The airport facilities are already existing. There will not be any expansion in the passenger capacity and passenger terminal building.

3.4 Proposed Land use pattern

The land use pattern remains same.

3.5 Existing Infrastructure

Existing infrastructure details are given in section-2.4.

5.0 PROPOSED INFRASTRUCTURE

The proposed project involves extension of runway to cater to the operations of critical aircraft of “C” category.

The details are discussed in Section-2.5.

6.0 PROJECT SCHEDULE & PRELIMINARY COST ESTIMATES

The approved cost of work for Development of Jammu Airport is worked out as Rs. 76.99 Crores (approx.)

7.0 ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL

Jammu Airport serves the city of Jammu, in the northernmost Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. Airports Authority of India operates the airport, which hosts five airlines operating domestic-only service to destinations in north and western India . There will be an increase in air traffic and more aircrafts would land if there were the required conveniences.

After completion of the extension, Jammu will be well connected to other cities and other states and will increase the tourist flow in this region.
