1.INTRODUCTION

A. Project Objective

1.The proposed greenfield project comprises a new six-lane suspension type bridge across Ganges River from Deedargunj in Patna on NH-30 to Chak Sikandar in Vaishali district on NH- 103, consisting of six lane bridge structures of 9.760 kilometers, approach viaduct and roads of 1.5 kilometers from south and 8.5 kilometers from north, tolling and service facilities, and widening 3 kilometers of NH-103. The proposed location of the bridge is about 10 km downstream of existing Mahatma Gandhi Setu in Patna.

B. Project Description

Location and Features of the Proposed Project

2.The proposed project is a greenfield project aimed at development of connectivity between Patna and Vaishali district of Bihar through construction of a 6-lane road bridge across river Ganges. The proposed bridge will take off from Deedargunj (from NH-30) in Patna district at a distance of about 18 kilometers from Patna Railway station and it will terminate at Bidupur (at NH-103) in Vaishali district to provide an alternative to the Mahatma Gandhi Setu and reduce the travel time, overcome traffic congestion, provide smooth connectivity.

C. Location and Features of the Proposed Project

3.The project lies between NH-30 (near Deedarganj in Patna District) and NH-103 (near Bidupur in Vaishali district). The proposed bridge traverses between 25033’27.63” N, 85015’27.87” E (Ch.0+000) to 25041’17.82” N, 85022’49.65” E (Ch 22+76) at an average elevation of about 53 meters above mean sea level. The new bridge will be located about 10 kilometers downstream (east) from the existing bridge (Mahatma Gandhi Setu) to help decongest Patna and to provide all weather connectivity for communities living in Raghopur diara (river island) situated between two streams (the North and the south channel) of the Ganges river. The Raghopur diara, has a very high potential for development as a future satellite town of Patna. However, the diara is prone to seasonal flooding but remains inhabited and cultivated during most part of the year. There is only one seasonal road link (pontoon bridge) connecting it to Patna apart from boats & the pontoon bridge remains opertional only from January mid to June mid of the year while during remaining months Raghopur Diara remain cut from the other parts of Bihar.

4.The alignment of the proposed bridge spans over the entire width of the Ganges River including the river island and connect with national highways (NH-30 in Patna district & NH-103 in Vaishali district) on both sides of banks, improving connectivity and substantially reducing travel time between Patna and its surrounding areas. The approved alignment of the proposed project is shown in Figure 1 (on Google earth image).

Environmental Monitoring Report (October-December 2018) 7

5.Surrounded by the Ganges on all sides, Raghopur consists mainly of alluvial soil. There is only one road link through a pontoon bridge that connects it to Patna city. Boats are also used to reach Raghopur diara & vice versa.

Every year Raghopur diara area gets submerged by water due to flood in the Ganges. This has been helpful to Raghopur in way that flood also brings new layer of soil that makes this area verry fertile but on other way cuts the road connection of Raghopur diara area to nearby Patna city as pontoon bridge becomes unoperation from June to December every year. For the above reason the proposed project is very important as it will be the only bridge providing connectivity to Raghopur Diara (two existing bridges Mahatma Gandhi Setu & JP setu connecting Patna to Vaishali district of Bihar doesnot provide passage to Raghopur Diara).

C. Objective of the Report

7. The objective of this report (environmental monitoring report) is to allow ADB and the Bihar State Road Development Corporation Limited (BSRDCL) to gather information to:

i) Evaluate the environmental management plan (EMP) progress by establishing compliance status. ii) Detect and correct non-conformances. iii) Identify unanticipated impacts and implement necessary mitigation measures, and iv) Provide evidence to support enforcement of penalty provisions of the civil works contract to deter non-compliance. 8. Environmental monitoring and disclosure of quarterly or semi-annual monitoring reports is an ADB requirement for environmental category-A projects like BNGBP. Environmental monitoring is part of project implementation process to be complied by both ADB and BSRDCL. The preparation and submission of the quarterly or semi-annual monitoring reports is the responsibility of BSRDCL while supervision to provide guidance is the role of ADB.

9. As eco sensitive location exist near the above the project alignment and it was agreed during project preparation that quarterly environmental monitoring reports will be prepared and disclosed for this project. However, since the well sinking and pier construction inside the main channel of river Ganges which is the key activity that poses risk to the eco senstivie location Inside water body till not started, it was agreed with ADB that one monitoring report will be submitted for every three month period.This report is the sixth quarterly environment report for reporting period October to December 2018. The details of the quarterly Monitoring report submitted till date are as follows:

I. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

1. Compliance to environmental safeguards requirements. Full compliance was achieved on the loan covenant, domestic environmental laws. The EMP implementation for achieved a 76% compliance rate and the non-compliances were limited to camp management and occupational health and safety. The non-compliance was mainly due to the diversified nature of the word activities & impacts on site. Given the small scale of works no adverse environmental impacts were observed on the Project site.

B. Noise Monitoring

20. Noise level survey was conducted by 3rd party Green circle Laboratory(NABL &MoEF&CC approved)at all project sitesi.e. Zero Point, Sabalpur, Raghopur& Bidupur apart from the nearby villages.

21. It has been observed from the results that no noise level exceedance was recorded at any site both for day& night time. During October, 2018noise monitoring was done during the day and night time both. In the month of October, 2018 the noise level near NH-30 crossingnear Didarganj [value 73.5 db(A)] during the day time and [value 69.4 db(A)] during night time were found marginally higher side. The noise level data for sensitive receptors (Jamalpur school & Himmatpur school) were much below the standard limit because both the locations are away from our working area.Results are summarised in Table 10 graphical representation of results are also given below. Complete monitoring reports are provided in Appnedix 7.

C. Air Quality

22. The ambient status of four major air pollutants viz. Suspended Particulate Matter (PM10); Fine Particulate matter (PM2.5) ; Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) and Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) representing the quality of pollution level have been assessed by monitoring air quality at 11locations. The air quality monitoring results indicate that PM10 concentration not exceeds the limits specified by CPCB for all sites for the monitoring conducted during August 2018. The highest concentration of PM10 was recorded at Sabalpurof concentration 80.1 µg/m3, highest concentration of PM2.5 was recorded at Bidupur of concentration 37.3 µg/m3 ,while the maximum conc. of SO2& NOx was recorded at Saidpur of 10.3 & 16.4 µg/m3 respectively. The reason for higher concentration could be due to soil excavation, movement of construction machineries& vehicles and internal roads which are unpaved.

23 Testresults are summarised in Table 11. Complete monitoring reports are given in Appendix4.

24 Air Pollution Control: The mitigation measures, which have been adopted to reduce the air pollution are: transportation of construction materials should be covered, suppression of fugitive dust by water sprinkling (by the use of pipeline & water tanker) and restriction of speed limit to maximum 20 km/hrs at site.

D Water Quality

25 Water samples were collected from in and around ground water sources and both channels of Ganga river to check the quality of the water. Quarterly water analysis Environmental Monitoring Report (October-December 2018)

results are compared with IS 10500:2012 and found within permissible limited. Results are summarised in Table 12&13and monitoring reports are provided in Appendix 4.

Observation of the ground water quality (August 2018) :The pH value of drinking water is an important index of acidity or alkalinity.pH value of the sample vary from 6.51 to 7.56 in all locations. TDS vary from 266-662 mg/L which is within permissible limit. The total hardness is an important parameter of water quality. The hardness values in ground water of the study area ranges between 160-466 mg/l. The hardness values are well within the desired limit in all location. No biological and metallic contamination has been found in any of the ground water sample of the study area. All the parameters in ground water sample were well within the permissible limit of Indian Standard IS: 10500-2012. Surface water: The river Ganga is a perennial river. Being a perennial river there is availability of water in all the seasons of the year. Eight surface water samples were collected from the surface water sources of the project area. Four samples of Southern stream of Ganges river (two from upstream and two from downstream) and three sample of Northern channel of river Ganges (one from upstream & one from downstream on the southern side, one sample from northern side i.e. Bidupur side) while one sample from Sukha river (which remain mostly dry except in rainy season) were collected as per the standard method. Samples for bacteriological analyses were collected in sterilized bottles. The water samples were examined for physico-chemical parameters and bacteriological parameters. Samples were analyzed for various parameters using the CPCB’s DBU Criteria. Observation of the Surface Water Quality (October 2018): The river water quality parameters are compared with BDU Criteria of CPCB. No metal contamination has been found in surface water samples. Overall the surface water quality of river is meeting the Class C of DBU (Designated Best Use) Criteria of CPCB means may be used as drinking water source after conventional treatment and disinfection.

Observation of the Surface Water Quality (Comparative results for four season): The river water quality parameters are compared with BDU Criteria of CPCB. No metal contamination has been found in surface water samples. Overall the surface water quality of river is meeting the Class C of DBU (Designated Best Use) Criteria of CPCB means may be used as drinking water source after conventional treatment and disinfection.

V PUBLIC CONSULTATIONS AND ADDRESSING OF GRIEVANCES

E. Public Consultations

26. In accordance with ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS) 2009 and Environment Impact Assessment Notification of GoI (2006), extensive consultations and public participations are continuously being made by the BSRDCL &AECOM RODIC (JV) until the time of report writing. Consultations have been undertaken with project beneficiaries, local/ government officials, community leaders, non-government organizations (NGO’s), stakeholders in the corridor of impact and people likely to be effected due to the project on various issues affecting them. Various measures have been incorporated pertaining to environmental issues based on the responses from the people.

1. Objectives of Consultations

27. The process of public participation/ consultations was taken up as an integral part of the project in accordance with environmental assessment requirements. The objectives of these consultations are:

x To inform and educate the common public, specially potentially impacted communities/ individuals and stakeholders about the proposed project activities; x To familiarize the people with technical, environmental, social and economic issues of the project for better understanding; x To solicit the opinion of the affected communities/ individuals on environmental issues and assess the significance of impacts due to the proposed development; x To foster cooperation among officers of BSRDCL, the communities and the stakeholders to achieve a cordial working relationship for smooth implementation of the project; x To identify the environmental issues relating to the bridge and approach roads construction work; x Assess the views of the beneficiary communities and their willingness to participate in the project in a bottom up planning and decision making process; x To secure people’s inputs in respect of project planning, selection of mitigation measures and monitoring strategies; x To inculcate the sense of belongingness among the public about the project.

2. Methodology used for Consultations

28. The informal modes of consultations were used in the public consultation process for the project. In addition, focused ground discussions (FGDs) and personal discussions with officials, on-site discussion with project affected stakeholders, and reconnaissance visits have also been made to the project area. Attempts were made to encourage participation in the consultation process of the government officials from different departments that have relevance to the project. Same way, local people from different socio economic backgrounds in the villages as well as urban areas along the proposed approach road alignment, women, residents near the proposed alignment, local commuters, and other concerned were also consulted.

29. The experts emphasized the need to formulate appropriate action plan for the following: Environmental Monitoring Report (October-December 2018)

i. Avoid siltation in the river ii. Conservation of aquatic organisms (such as Dolphin, Ghariyal, Soft sheel turtle) iii. Muck Management iv. Used cement Bag management v. Dust emission

F. Complaints and Requests Received

30. An integrated grievance and redress mechanism (GRM) for environmental and social action plans is established for the project. The GRM provides a system for receiving, evaluating and facilitating the resolution of affected people’s concerns, complaints, and grievances about the project’s social and environmental performance.

31. During the period of reporting (October-December 2018) two written grievances and requests application was received from the local people through PMAE representatives in the project area regarding EHS issues.
