I. INTRODUCTION

A. Background

1. Jharkhand was carved out of state in the year 2000. The state is rich in mineral and natural resources resulting in presence of big industrial areas, with large opportunity for further development due to encouraging government policies and availability of skilled manpower. The state has seen strong and steady growth in the past few years; however, it is less urbanized than all India average in 2011, the state had an urbanization level of 24.05% compared to India’s 31.2% (2011 census data). The urbanization has however picked up in recent years and projected to catch up after 2030.

2. The coverage and quality of urban services in Jharkhand state are below national service level standards. These lead to poor quality of life of inhabitants, constrained urbanization and growth, and low competitiveness of cities. Access to basic services is critical to women and other vulnerable populations’ well-being, and the lack of it adversely impacts practical gender needs that exacerbate women’s drudgery and time poverty.

3. The proposed Jharkhand Urban Water Supply Improvement Project (JUWSIP) would support urban service improvement strategies and policy initiatives of the Government of Jharkhand (GOJ) to contribute to the sustainable cities that are spatially, economically, and socially inclusive developed under the Jharkhand Vision and Action Plan 2021.1The project will complement ongoing efforts of the GOJ for urban infrastructure and service improvement and institutional reforms under various national flagship programs.2

4. The Project is proposed to be funded by GOJ in assistance with Government of India (GOI) and Asian Development Bank (ADB). Urban Development and Housing Department (UDHD) of GOJ is the Executing Agency and Jharkhand Urban Infrastructure Development Company Limited (JUIDCO) will be the Implementing Agency for the project.

5. JUWSIP will finance water supply infrastructure investments in four prioritized urban local bodies (ULB). The towns selected under JUWSIP include , Hussainabad, Medininagar and Jhumri Telaiya.

6. JUIDCO under guidance of the UDHD GOJ, will be the Implementing Agency for the Project. As part of the JUWSIP, several projects have been identified across water supply sectors in the state.The objective of the proposed water supply project is to cover the entire Medininagar town with 100% sustainable drinking water supply facilities. The scope of the water supply component includes i) Infiltration well cum galleries on , (ii) Raw Water Pumping Machinery, (iii) 4.07km Raw Water Rising Mains, (iv) 17 MLD Water Treatment Plant (WTP) and sedimentation tank, (v) 5.200 km Clear Water Rising Mains, (vii) 4 Elevated Service Reservoirs (ESRs), (vii) 212.24 km of Distribution Network, (viii) 24000 Household Connections, and (ix) Renovation work of existing WTP.

1The original project title of “Jharkhand Urban Infrastructure Investment Project”, as mentioned in India: Country Operations Business Plan (2018-2020) is changed as JUWSIP. 2The national flagship programs launched by the Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs (MoHUA) include Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT), Smart Cities Mission (SCM) and Swachh Bharat Mission. 2

12. Medininagar (also known as Daltonganj) is a town in the of Jharkhand, India. It is situated on the banks of river North Koel. Medininagar is the headquarters of , which covers three namely Palamu, and in the state of Jharkhand. The town is situated on the banks of River Koel. The Mandal Dam / reservoir is located nearly 50 km upstream of Medininagar town. The dam was constructed on the North Koel River. The population of Medininagar is 78,396 as per the census of 2011. The administrative area of Medininagar town is divided into 35 wards. It is located at 165 km from the state capital - Ranchi. Medininagar is also famous as Daltonganj, named after colonel Dalton, Commissioner of Chhotangapur in 1861. Medininagar is well connected with Ranchi, and Gaya by road.

13. Medininagar is situated on the banks of North Koel river which is also the source of the existing as well as proposed water supply scheme. Currently water is being supplied to Medininagar town by directly pumping water from Koel river to WTP as the existing intake well is heavily damaged and is no longer functional. With construction of new WTP and Infiltration well, the proposed system will feed all the 35 wards. Total length of the proposed distribution network is 212.4 km while the existing distribution network will no longer be used due to damaged condition.

1. Details of existing Water Supply scheme in the town is given below:

(i) Intake Well and Pump House: The two existing open wells/Intake wells on the bank of North Koel River was constructed to provide water to the existing water supply system of the town. The wells are 6m in diameter and 6 m in depth constructed using 0.5m thick brick masonry. One opening of size 0.6m x 0.6m is provided to admit the river water into the well. (ii) Raw Water Pumping Machinery: The size of pump house is 17m x 7.4m constructed with brick masonry with Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC)slab.

16. The proposed components under Medininagar water supply project are described below.

1. Intake Arrangement

17. The intake arrangement is proposed to be located 120m from the right bank of the North Koel River and it will consist of (a) infiltration well (b) infiltration galleries (c) connecting pipe and (d) pump house. The proposed intake arrangement is detailed below:

(i) Intake well: A 12mdiameter and 9m deep infiltration well has been proposed to be constructed in North Koel river. (ii) Infiltration Galleries: Infiltration galleries are proposed radially across North Koel River having a total length of 4500m with 0.5 perforated pipes. (iii) Connecting Pipes: The raw water has been proposed to be pumped towards proposed jack well with connecting pipe of 600mm DI K9 having length of 170m and 500mm DI K9 having length of 3900m. (iv) Jack Well and Pump House: The pump house is proposed to house raw water pumps.

18. The water flow in North Koel is sufficient to cater to the demand of the town during the year except for the dry summer months. It is estimated that there would be shortfall of 3.5 MCM. The investigation carried out during DPR preparation indicate that there will be enough water which can accumulate through infiltration galleries. Recuperation test carried out by the DPR consultant indicate that the recharge dynamics / capacity is sufficient for extracting the required raw water from the river through the infiltration galleries to meet the shortfall during the lean phase (April, May and June). Since during the non-monsoon month i.e., 9 months there is additional water available after abstraction, no impact to downstream users is anticipated. In case of dry summer month when there is no water available in the river, water is proposed to be collected through infiltration galleries, hence no impact is envisaged on downstream users during summer months as well.

2. Raw Water Pumping Machinery

19. Raw water pumping machinery is proposed to be installed in the pump house above the infiltration well. The proposed raw water pumping machinery consists of three10,000 LPM 30 m head (two working and one standby) vertical turbine (VT) pumps and 3no. of 8000 LPM 60 m head VT pumps.

3. Raw Water Rising Mains 7

20. Two raw water rising mains are proposed from infiltration well to two WTPs, these will consist of a 600mm diameter DI K-9 pipeline and length 170 m; and another of 500 mm diameter DI K-9 pipeline and length 3900 m.

4. Water Treatment Plant

21. Conventional WTP of 21.6 MLD capacity already exists near infiltration well which will undergo some repairs while a new 17 MLD WTP is proposed to be constructed at Adarshnagar near ward no-3. The proposed units to be developed in the WTP are listed below:

(i) Aeration Fountain (ii) Clariflocculator (iii) Flash Mixer (iv) Chemical House (v) Rapid sand Filter (vi) Chlorinator

5. Sedimentation Tank

22. RCC sedimentation tanks have been proposed so that the suspended particles can settle out by gravity and collect on the tank bottom.

23. The design details of sludge settling tank are provided in Table 8.

24. As Medininagar does not have any land fill site, the sludge generated from WTP will be disposed at a site provided by the ULB. Identification of the land for sludge disposal will be 8 undertaken by JUIDCO and ULB later. The filtered backwash water will be recycled in flash mixture and process will be continued in the WTP. 6. Sump and Pump House

25. The treated water from Water Treatment Plan (WTP) will be stored in one sump and one pump house within the boundary of the existing and proposed WTP.

7. Elevated Storage Reservoirs

26. Four elevated storage reservoirs are proposed to be constructed under the subproject along with five existing ESRs for water supply to the entire town of Medininagar.

(i) ESR no. 1 in Housing Colony, Adarshnagar: The reservoir will cater the demand ofwardsnumber1,2,3,9,10,13. The capacity of this ESR has been proposed to be 12,75,000L. Approximately 0.33 acresland is required for construction of this ESR. This ESR will feed water to Zone No-1. (ii) ESR no. 2 at Ward no. 16 Redma: This proposed ESR will have a capacity of 20,00,000L. Approximately 0.53 acres land is required for construction of this ESR. This ESR will feed water to Zone No-2. (iii) ESR no.3 at Ward no. 34 Nar Shahpur: This proposed ESR will have a capacity of 11,25,000 L. This ESR will feed water to Zone No-3. Approximately 0.33 acres land is required for construction of this ESR. (iv) ESR no.4 at Ward no. 15 near Hamidganj: Proposed ESR will have capacity of 12,75,000 L and it will feed the zone 4.

III. FIELD WORK AND PUBLIC CONSULTATION

A. Outline of Filed Work

29. Field inspections were carried out at the proposed subproject site locations for the proposed water supply project that includes the locations of the intake point, WTP, four ESRs and the raw water mains alignment, clear water transmission mains and clear water distribution network. Inspections were carried out along the stretch of the distribution network, especially the market areas; it also needs mentioning that the distribution pipelines and other areas are within the town limits. The entire land requirement for construction of the intake arrangements, WTP, ESRs will be met by government lands, and laying of the raw water mains, clear water transmission mains and clear water distribution network will be fulfilled by government roads. Field visitswereundertaken to all the existing water supply components under Zones 1 to 9.

B. Public Consultations

30. Consultations were conducted with key stakeholders and community members in line with the ADB's requirements pertaining to environmental and social considerations. These consultations helped in identifying the felt needs and apprehensions of the communities related to the project and their priorities. These consultations helped identify the issues, needs, concerns and apprehensions of the communities related to the project and their priorities. Consultations were held with community members and the Municipal Council Officials regarding the project components, their location, and distribution of the water supply zones. Representatives of JUIDCO explained that the construction work will be undertaken in such a way that there will be no adverse impact due to construction work of the proposed components: access to properties will be ensured by the contractor during construction through provision of access planks; hand rails will be provided by the contractor where excavations are more than 1 m deep or wide; traffic diversion plans will be prepared and adequate signages provided by the contractor; and hard barricading provided for community safety as required, in line with the environmental management plan (EMP).

31. For public consultation, representative of JUIDCO and WAPCOS Ltd team held many visits at various proposed project locations. The Deputy Mayor, Medininagar explained the details of the project and discussed regarding the social and environmental safeguard requirements as per ADB SPS, 2009. Table13 provides the details of field level public consultations conducted. All the consultations were carried out in the presence of JUIDCO engineers who also played an effective role in the process by addressing queries related to technical aspects of the project.

32. The consultations highlighted the proposed development interventions, perceived impacts and mitigation measures and public participation during implementation. Community members spoke mainly about the insufficient or no availability of potable water for drinking and domestic use, except for selected municipal wards. The participants enquired about when the water works will start and when the project will be completed. Treated water connection will facilitate the community. Presently the community members draw potable water through bore wells installed at their home.

33. Affordability of water user charge has been a pertinent question raised both by the local representatives and the community members. However, almost all participants agreed to pay the water user charges if they get the facility of household water connections. They agreed that it will help in reducing time taken for water collection as well health expenditures. On-time completion of the project was another concern of the community members and the Nagar Nigam Officials. Creating job opportunities was the other question of the community Members – it was mentioned that the existing JUIDCO workers will be given first preference, further if there is any requirement, then workers from the local community can be employed during the construction phase. Summary of public consultation is provided in Appendix 2.

34. Public information campaigns to explain the project details to a wider population will be conducted. Public disclosure meetings will be conducted at key project stages to inform the public. Prior to start of construction, the PIU will issue Notification on the start date of implementation in local newspapers. A notice board showing the details of the project will be displayed at the construction sites for the information of public.

35. Public participation will be encouraged through use of various methods, such as, stakeholder consultation meetings, focus group discussions (FGDs) with different groups (including women), key informant interviews etc. This is also expected to offer a platform to people in different areas within the city to (i) know about the Program, and (ii) express their opinion regarding priorities and concerns related to the project.

36. The extent and level of involvement of stakeholders at various stages of the project from design through implementation will open up the line of communication between the various stakeholders and the project implementing authorities, thereby aiding the process of resolving grievances at early stages of the project rather than letting it escalate. Participation of the local community in decision- making will help in avoiding adverse impacts.

37. After finalization of detailed design and DMS, if required a resettlement plan will be prepared and implemented in close consultation with stakeholders and will involve focus group discussion and meetings, particularly with affected households. Consultations with affected persons during resettlement plan preparation will ensure that views of affected persons on 15 compensation and rehabilitation measures are fully incorporated while consultations conducted during resettlement plan implementation will identify help required by affected persons during rehabilitation.

38. Consultation meetings and FGDs will be conducted with the vulnerable households3 to ensure that the vulnerable groups understand the process and their needs are specifically taken into consideration in the implementation.

39. Stakeholder consultations will continue throughout the implementation of the project and operation. Local communities will be continuously consulted regarding location of construction camps, access and hauling routes and other likely disturbances during construction. The project will be implemented in close consultation with stakeholders and will involve FGD and meetings, particularly with affected households.

IV. LAND AVAILABILITY AND RESETTLEMENT IMPACTS

40. The scope of land acquisition and involuntary resettlement impacts has been identified based on field visits to all the project component locations. Field visits were undertaken to WTP site, each of the ESR locations and the entire stretch of the transmission and distribution pipeline alignment as proposed, in the project area of Medininagar town. No private land acquisition is anticipated, as all the construction of water works is proposed on government lands. The entire civil works for transmission mains and distribution network is proposed within the ROW of government roads, Panchayat roads, Public Works Department (PWD) roads and Nagar Panchayat Roads.

1. Intake Arrangement

42. The intake arrangement is proposed to be located 120 m from the right bank of the North Koel River. JUWSIP shall obtain permission from Water Resource Department (WRD), GOJ for withdrawal of water from the River through infiltration gallery for assured water supply.

43. Since during 9 months other than summer months there is additional water available after abstraction, no impact to the downstream users is anticipated. In case of dry summer months when there is no water available in the river, water is proposed to be collected through infiltration galleries, hence no impact is envisaged on downstream users during summer as well.

2. Raw Water Transmission Pipes

44. Raw water rising main has been proposed from infiltration well to WTPs. The raw water transmission main pipelines will be laid within the limits of ROW of National Highway, Public Works Department, GOJ (PWD) Roads and Nagar Nigam roads. The diameter of the pipeline will be 350 mm to 450 mm, Ductile Iron K-9 pipeline and length of the transmission line will be 3900 m. The diameter of the transmission mains pipeline is proposed to be 350 to 450 mm that will be laid on the ROW of the road with width ranging between 2.8 m to 25 m (Black Top). Walk-through along the transmission mains and field visit indicated that there are no roadside vendors or kiosks along the road where the raw water transmission mains are proposed to be laid. No impacts to 23

roadside businesses or any other involuntary resettlement impact is anticipated. Impacts due to pipelaying activity will be assessed and reconfirmed during detailed design, based on the detailed measurement survey (DMS).

3. Water Treatment Plant (WTP)

45. Conventional WTP of 17 MLD capacity is proposed at Adarsh Nagar of Medininagar town. The WTP will be constructed on a 2.83 acres plot owned by the Housing Board, GOJ. The WTP with its entire allied works will be constructed on the land parcel free, which is from any encumbrance. The proposed land parcel is an unused, vacant plot. The details of the WTP land parcel are provided in Table 14 below. No involuntary resettlement impact is anticipated due to construction of the WTP.

Source: DPR Medininagar Water Supply Project 4. Sludge Disposal Ground

46. The proposed system uses sludge collection sump for collecting sludge from the clarifiers and under drain, backwash water tanks for collecting sludge from filtration units. The backwash water will be recycled to the flash mixture and the process will be continued. All the collected sludge from WTP, will be transported to the sludge drying bed, after the drying of the sludge naturally, the dewatered sludge from bed will be disposed into the landfill site. As Medininagar does not have any land fill site, the sludge generated from WTP will be disposed at a site provided by the ULB. Identification of the land for sludge disposal has been initiated by JUIDCO and ULB, who will try to identify vacant and unused government land. Assessment of impact of the selected site will be included in the updated social safeguards document, during finalization of design and conduct of DMS.

5. Clear Water Transmission Mains

47. Clear water from the WTP is proposed to be transferred to four of the ESRs through 5.20km transmission mains. The clear water transmission mains will be laid within the ROW of PWD Roads and Nagar Nigam Roads. JUWSIP needs to obtain NOC from PWD for undertaking construction work on PWD roads, and self-certification by Medininagar Nagar Nigam on the use of Nagar Nigam road.

6. Elevated Storage Reservoirs

48. Under the Water Supply Package of Medininagar, four ESRs are proposed to be constructed for distribution of clear water to the entire town. All the four land parcels identified for construction of the ESRs are government lands and do not have any encroachments and are free from encumbrances. All the proposed land parcels are unused vacant plots. Details of the land parcels are provided in the Table 16 below. No involuntary resettlement impact is anticipated for construction of the ESRs.

7. Transmission Mains and Distribution Network

50. The distribution pipelines for supplying clear water from the ESRs will be laid along the ROW of Nagar Nigam Roads. Total length of 212.24km of distribution pipelines will be laid in Medininagar town. No potential impact is anticipated during the laying of distribution pipelines. The diameter of pipeline ranges from 100 mm to 450 mm.

51. Walk-through along the transmission mains, distribution network and field visit indicated that beyond the black top, the shoulder of the road is quite wide, and the shops are beyond the shoulder of the road. There are no roadside vendors or kiosks along the road where the transmission mains are proposed to be laid. Impacts due to pipe laying activity will be reassessed and reconfirmed during detailed engineering design and based on the DMS. No involuntary resettlement impact is anticipated due to laying of pipelines of clear water transmission mains.

52. The engineering designs adopted for the proposed subproject will ensure routing of the raw water and clear water mains, and distribution network within the ROW. The impact envisaged during construction is assessed to be limited to traffic congestion and diversions. Any potential impact will be assessed during the DMS by the DBO Contractors and will be mitigated through appropriate mitigation measures. Further, care will be taken to avoid/mitigate any impact through the following measures: (a) announcement of proposed civil works in advance to enable shop owners to stock up and remain unaffected if goods vehicles are unable to reach them during construction;(b) careful timing of implementation to avoid peak sale hours/days or school timings; (c) night work in commercial areas, or, use of trenchless technology; (d) minimizing construction period to the extent possible; (e) signages with project details and contact details for grievance redress; and (f) proper traffic management. These measures will be part of the contract and will be implemented through it, with careful monitoring by the PMU and concerned PIU.

26

A. Indigenous People

53. Based on field visits and consultations conducted, no impact to indigenous peoples is anticipated under the proposed Development of Water Supply System at Medininagar Town. There are no Indigenous People identified during the transect walk in the project area who will be impacted due to the construction work. As per ADB SPS, Indigenous Peoples safeguards is triggered if a project directly or indirectly affects the dignity, human rights, livelihood systems, or culture of indigenous peoples or affects the territories or natural or cultural resources that indigenous peoples own, use, occupy, or claim as their ancestral domain; no such impacts are anticipated in Medininagar.4

54. The Scheduled Tribe (ST) population of Jharkhand State as per 2011 census is 8,645,042 (others including Sarna-4,012,622 Christian-1,338,175) out of the total population (32,988,134) of the State. Among all States and Union Territories, Jharkhand holds 6th and 10th ranks in terms of the ST population and the percentage share of the ST population to the total population of the State, respectively. The scheduled tribe population of Medininagar is 1.66% of the total population. Under MMC, the Indigenous Peoples population is largely scattered across different wards, the families do not stay in cohesive tribal communities/ groups, are well assimilated in urban society, having lived in the city for a few generations, and do not retain the defining characteristics of ST including primitive traits, distinctive culture, shyness, geographical isolation and social and economic backwardness. No indigenous peoples impacts are anticipated.

55. Transect walks were undertaken jointly along with JUIDCO Engineers and PMC Engineers for estimation of temporary impacts along the entire stretch of proposed raw water transmission mains up to ESR locations and there is no involuntary resettlement impact anticipated on Indigenous Peoples due to the proposed project.

V. CONCLUSIONS

A. Summary and Conclusion

56. Based on the preliminary design and information available with JUIDCO; no involuntary resettlement impact is anticipated due to the proposed projects components. The intake arrangements along with raw water pumping machinery, WTP and the four ESRs will be constructed on land parcels owned by Water Resource Department, (WRD) GOJ as well as land parcels belonging to Land and Revenue Department, GOJ which are free from any encumbrances or encroachments. The land parcels from other departments will be transferred through Deputy Commissioner, who is the head of land and revenue department of the district. The Deputy Commissioner will provide NOC to UD&HD for the water supply project.

57. The laying of raw water mains, clear water rising mains from WTP to ESRs are proposed within the ROW of National Highway, Nagar Nigam, Gram Panchayat and PWD roads. Distribution network are proposed within the ROW of Nagar Nigam roads. The water works infrastructure would be handed over to Medininagar Nagar Nigam after commissioning. The

4 ADB SPS, 2009 uses the term indigenous peoples in a generic sense to refer to a distinct, vulnerable, social and cultural group possessing the following characteristics: (i) self-identification as members of a distinct indigenous cultural group and recognition of this identity by others; (ii) collective attachment to geographically distinct habitats or ancestral territories in the project area and to the natural resources in these habitats or territories; (iii) customary cultural, economic, social or political institutions that are separate from those of the dominant society and culture; and (iv) a distinct language, often different from the official language of the country or region. 27

respective Nagar Nigam need to provide self-certification (on "No Objection") of ownership of the ROW of Nagar Nigam roads where laying of the transmission mains and distribution pipelines are proposed. Laying of the pipelines may potentially cause temporary disruption to road users, pedestrians, and community members – this will be avoided by using proper mitigation measures. Such civil work disruptions will be mitigated during construction by the contractor through simple measures such as provision of planks for pedestrian access to shops and proper traffic management.

58. This land acquisition and due diligence report will be further updated based on the final detailed engineering design and the DMS. The involuntary resettlement impact will be further reassessed and if needed a resettlement plan will be prepared and submitted to ADB for obtaining concurrence and disclosure in public domain.

59. A budgetary provision is made for costs likely to be incurred by JUIDCO for completion of all formalities related to updating of this report. This includes provision towards DDR updation cost (₹50,000), consultation, communication (₹50,000), survey and field work (₹1,00,000) and 5% contingencies (₹10,000), totalling up to ₹210,000.

B. Next Steps

60. The Due Diligence Report needs to be updated with the following information:

(i) No objection certificate (NOC) from WRD GOJ for construction of intake gallery and raw water pumping station. (ii) Permission from WRD GOJ for withdrawing water from North Koel river. (iii) NOC and land transfer copy from Land and Revenue Department of the District Palamu for construction of the WTP and four ESRs. (iv) Land related information along with ownership details and required clearances. (v) NOC from the National Highway, PWD Division for undertaking construction work on PWD roads, and self-certification by Medininagar Nagar Nigam on the use of Nagar Nigam roads for laying of raw water rising mains, clear water transmission main and distribution network. (vi) NOC and land record copies from ULB for sludge disposal ground. (vii) NOC or self-certification form the ULB for using the existing water supply infrastructure. (viii) The initiation and completion of due procedures will be reported and ADB approval will be obtained prior to start of construction work.
