5. Screening and assessment of potential impacts. ADB requires the consideration of environmental issues in all aspects of the Bank’s operations, and the requirements for environmental assessment are described in ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS), 2009. As per the GoI EIA Notification, 2006, this subproject does not require EIA study or environmental clearance. The potential environmental impacts of the subproject have been assessed using ADB Rapid Environmental Assessment Checklist for Water Supply. Then potential negative impacts were identified in relation to pre-construction, construction and operation of the improved infrastructure.

6. The subproject is unlikely to cause significant adverse impacts because: (i) the components will involve straightforward construction and operation, so impacts will be mainly localized; (ii) predicted impacts are site-specific and likely to be associated with the construction process and are produced because the process is invasive, involving excavation and earth movements; and (iii) being located mainly in an existing built-up area, will not cause direct impact on terrestrial biodiversity values. Potential negative impacts mainly arise from disturbance of residents, businesses, increase in traffic, increase in noise level and dusts, and the need to dispose moderate quantities of waste soil during construction phase and generation of sludge from the WTP during operation and maintenance phase. However, there are well- developed methods for mitigation of these impacts to acceptable levels.

7. Categorization. Based on results of the assessment and ADB SPS, the water supply subproject under package-4D is classified as environmental Category B, i.e., the subproject is judged to be unlikely to have significant adverse environmental impacts. Accordingly, this initial environmental examination (IEE) assesses the environmental impacts and provides mitigation and monitoring measures to ensure that there are no significant impacts as a results of the project.

8. This IEE aims to (i) provide critical facts, significant finding, and recommended actions; (ii) present the national and local legal and institutional framework within which the environmental assessment has been carried out; (iii) provide information on existing geographic, ecological, social and temporal context including associated facilities within the subproject’s area of influence; (iv) assess the subproject’s likely positive and negative direct and indirect impacts to physical, biological, socioeconomic, and physical cultural resources in the subproject’s area of influence; (v) identify mitigation measures and any residual negative impacts that cannot be mitigated; (vi) describe the process undertaken during project design to engage stakeholders and the planned information disclosure measures and the process for carrying out consultation with affected people and facilitating their participation during project implementation; (vii) describe the subproject’s grievance redress mechanism for resolving complaints about environmental performance; (viii) present the set of mitigation measures to be undertaken to avoid, reduce, mitigate, or compensate for adverse environmental impacts; (ix) to describe the monitoring measures and reporting procedures to ensure early detection of conditions that necessitate particular mitigation measures; and (x) identify indicative costs and who is responsible for carrying out the mitigation and monitoring measures. 9. Description of Environment: Most of the subprojects components locations are located in subproject towns of Karera, Pichhore, Bairad, Aron, Isagarh and Vijaypur and their surroundings. The immediate surroundings were converted into urban use for many years ago, and there is no natural habitat left at the subproject sites. There are no protected areas, forests and archaeological sites in the subprojects towns. Isagarh town water supply is based on ground water source. According to CGWB, ground water development in Isagarh block falls under safe zone. The proposed/existing intake structures will be located in river bed/ existing dams on government lands. Only for Aron town weir will be constructed across river Sindh, while the WTPs including clear water sumps will be also located close to the intakes where sufficient government land is available. These facilities are located outside the town, and are mostly surrounded by agricultural lands, forest areas and rivers/reservoirs. Nearest protected area from Vijaypur and Bairad towns is Kuno Wildlife Sanctuary which is also known as Palpur - Kuno Wildlife Sanctuary is situated at a distance of 24.0 km away from Vijaypur and about 10.0 km away from Bairad town. None of the subproject components of Bairad and Vijaypur towns are located in ecosensitive zone nor in sanctuary area of Kuno wildlife sanctuary. So there is impacts envisaged.

10. In Karera Town – As per DPR, source of water for subproject water supply town Karera was proposed on western bank of Samoha dam located at Jhanda village. Later on, it was come under notice that proposed location of intake as well as alignment of raw water rising main comes within the boundary of Karera Wildlife Sanctuary (also known as Son Chiraiya Bird Sanctuary).

11.

12. This sanctuary boundary is located about which is about 14 Kms. away from subproject town Karera and secondly proposed alignment passes through private land too. Taking into consideration, a joint visit of DBO Contractor, PMU-Gwalior along with PMC was scheduled on 24th January 2018 to resolve this issue and new location has been identified and recommended unanimously by joint team.

13. Team has visited three different places to finalize the location of Intake well cum pump house namely i) Northern Side of village Khera Modi: this site was found not suitable as impounding water is quite away from the stream and water is shrinking about 250 metre away from intake location during summer as also confirmed by local people, apart from that silting and desilting will cause another obstacle. And secondly it may require acquisition of private land to reach at intake well. ii) at Samoha Dam: this site was technically suitable as enough water is available throughout the year but raw water raising main will pass through village Samoha. This village is located on the road and the road passes through the centre of village. A significant number of residential structures reported on both side of road, it is about 1.5 to 2 kms in length and congested too under village Samoha. Proposed raw water rising main will traverse through this road only. Therefore, proposed alignment is socially not acceptable due to its negative impact on road side structure and there might be chance to puncture the water pipeline. Apart from that this location is about 30 kms. away from subproject town. iii) Eastern Bank of Samoha Dam across Mahuwar river at village Khera Modi: Another new location as water source is identified on the eastern bank of Samoha dam which is located near a very small hamlet namely Khera Modi under Panchayat Machhawali. This new proposed site is about 13 - 14 Kms away from subproject town. Enough government land is available on the bank of Samoha dam (Mahubar river) which is required for proposed Intake well cum pump house and secondly no involuntary resettlement impact (both permanent and temporary) is envisaged. Among these three new locations as mentioned, joint team has unanimously recommended water source namely “eastern bank of Samoha Dam at village Khera Modi” as preliminary examine shows that newly recommended source is found socially & environment and technically acceptable. Refer Fig-2- Showing Site Photograph of Recommended & Proposed New Location of Intake Well on Eastern Bank of Samoha Dam. As per villagers, enough water is available throughout the year at proposed site of Intake well and enough government land is also available without any encroachment. This proposed location does not come under Son Chiraiya Bird Sanctuary, Karera. However as per mapping on google earth map, according to coordintes of prominent points of the boundary of Karera Bird sanctuary and coordinates of the boundary of Karera Bird sanctury Eco-sensitive zone as mentioned in MOEFCC Notification 15th September 2017, new recommended intake location comes under Eco-Sensitive Zone about 500 m away from the boundary of Karera Bird Sanctuary. No Flora and Fauna has been reported in and around the proposed site. Also no environment impact observed at site.

14. The boundary of Karera Wildlife Sanctuary is about 500 m away from the boundary of Karera municipal areas. All the proposed subproject components like Recommended & proposed new location of intake, WTP, OHTs, RWRM, CWRM & distribution networks are within the boundary of Eco-Sensitive Zone (ESZ) of Karera wildlife sanctuary. All the components like Intake, WTP & OHT are located about 500 m – 2 km away from the boundary of Karera wildlife sanctuary as shown on Google Map of Karera wildlife sanctuary and subproject town Karera; showing the boundaries of both clearly along with location of main components i.e. Source/intake, RWRM, WTP, CWRM & OHTs etc. which is appended as Fig – 24. Intake well is located around 13.2 km away from Karera town. Intake well is about 500 m away from boundary of Karera bird’s sanctuary and comes under Eco-Sensitive zone (ESZ). Extraction of surface water within Eco Sensitive Zone is regulated under applicable Law (Refer Table 3, S. No. 27 & Appendix 25, Para 4, S. No. 27- MOEFCC Notification). Also NoC from WRD for abstraction of water from Samoha dam and construction of intake already obtained (Refer Appendix 24). The raw water rising main, connecting intake and WTP, will be partly outside and partly within the towns, which will be laid partly within the Eco sensitive zone boundary and partly outside the ESZ boundary of Karera sanctuary. Raw water and clear water rising main will be laid underground from the intake to WTP and from WTP to OHTs site along an existing PWD road within ROW. WTP, OHTs and clear water rising main is located within the municipal limits of Karera Nagar Parishad, but it is within the boundary of ESZ of Karera bird sanctuary. WTP is about 500m and OHTs are about 1-2 km away from the boundary of Karera wildlife sanctuary, where there are no sensitive environmental features. Construction activities in Eco-Sensitive Zone is permitted as per building byelaws to meet the residential needs of the local residents such as construction and renovation of infrastructure and civic aminities (Refer Table 3, S. No. 14 & S. No. 20 and Refer Appendix 25, Para 4, S. No. 14 & S. No. 20- MOEFCC Notification). However, it will be done with mitigation measures, as per applicable laws, rules and regulation and available guidelines. Also Refer MOEF letter Appendix 31, which talks about non-applicability of wildlife clearance about the projects falling in ESZs which are not covered under EIA Notification and which do not require environmental clearances would aslo not required approval of standing committee of National Board of wild life.

Also consultation conducted with forest official on dated 10.05.2018 at Office of Chief Conservator of Forest & Director, Madhav National Park, Shivpuri as Its management and control is under Field Director of Madhav National Park (Refer Appendix 7 & Appendix 10). Detailed discussions held and briefed about proposed components under water supply scheme for Karera town within eco-sensitive zone and its impact on Karera bird Sanctuary. They told that they have no objection as this project is to meet the daily residential needs of the local residents by providing with a constant supply of better quality water as the subproject will improve the overall environmental quality of the town and surrounding areas.

16. 17. Karera Wildlife sanctuary today has not a single bird species. Owing to villagers/public pressure and the extinction of the bird locally, the National Board for Wildlife and the Government of Madhya Pradesh have decided to denotify the sanctuary and is seeking the Centre's approval. The decision is now awaiting a final approval from the Supreme Court of India and should it come through, the sanctuary will become the country's first such reserve to lose its official recognition. (For Denotification Details Refer “Minutes of 18th Meeting of Standing Committee of NBWL annexed as Appendix 26.)

18. Since the proposed subprojects components such as Intake, RWRM, WTP, CWRM and OHTs works shall be limited to actual construction area and the access roads, but appropriate steps should be taken according to the nature of the risk. Precaution must be taken care to minimize the noise during construction work to avoid any negative impact on bird sanctuary. The impact will be only for limited time during construction work.

19. Apart from this, the forest namely “Karera Reserve forest” is only at a distance of 2 km from Karera town. Karera Reserved Forest is a forest reserve and is east of Māhuār Protected Forest, south of Bagedhri village and southeast of Langūri village. Karera Reserved Forest has an elevation of 282 metres. Local trees are similar to the regional flora. Domestic animals are abundantly found in the region. None of the subproject components are located in forest areas. Refer Google Map & SOI Map annexed as Fig- 23 & Fig- 25.

20. For Bairad & Vijaypur Towns - Kuno Wildlife Sanctury which is also known as Palpur - Kuno Wildlife Sanctuary is situated at a distance of 10 km away from Bairad and 24 km away from vijaypur town. None of the subproject components are located within the boundary of Kuno wildlife sanctuary nor in its ecosensitive zone. Refer Google Maps of Kuno wildlife sanctuary and subproject towns; showing the boundaries of both clearly alongwith location of main components i.e. Source/intake, WTP & OHTs etc. which is appended as Fig - 29

21. The subproject components of rest of the five towns – water tanks, distribution lines, connections etc. will be located within the urban areas. The raw water transmission pipes, connecting intake and WTP, will be essentially outside the town, and clear water transmission pipes, from WTP to distribution reservoirs, will be partly outside and partly within the towns. Project area experience a subtropical climate, typical to north India, hot summers, cold and dry winters and monsoon rains. There is no ecological sensitive feature like forest area in project area. Flora and fauna found of local species. Aquatic life in the project areas is not notable. Towns are densely populated in the core/old town areas with narrow lanes, and small and closely built houses, while most of the areas are undeveloped and are still under agricultural use. Commercial areas are along the main roads, which are mostly congested with activities, pedestrians and traffic. All the pipelines will be located along the public roads. In the wider roads, pipelines will be laid in the earthen shoulder along the tarmac within the RoW, and in narrow roads in central town area, pipelines will be laid within the road tarmac. Many wide roads are lines with trees, which will not be removed for laying of pipelines.

22. Environmental Management Plan: An environmental management plan (EMP) has been developed to provide mitigation measures to reduce all negative impacts to acceptable levels, which includes; (i) mitigation measures for environmental impacts during implementation; an environmental monitoring program, and the responsible entities for mitigating, monitoring, reporting; (ii) public consultation and information disclosure; and (iii) a grievance redress mechanism. Locations and sitting of the proposed infrastructures were considered to further reduce impacts. These include (i) locating facilities on government-owned land to avoid the need for land acquisition and relocation of people; and (ii) laying of pipes in RoW alongside main/access roads, to reduce acquisition of land and impacts on livelihoods specifically in densely populated areas of the town.

23. The EMP includes design measures such as (i) selection of construction methodology near protected area in discussion with the forest department (ii) Selection of sustainable water sources (iii) wash water recovery for the WTP to reduce effluent to be discharged; (iv) beneficial use of treated sludge; and (iv) quick leak detection and rectification to save the resources, etc. During construction, the EMP includes mitigation measures such as (i) implementation of traffic management plan in coordination with local traffic police to minimize traffic impacts; (ii) awareness campaigns and consultations to inform residents and businesses of potential disturbances; (iii) provision of walkways and planks over trenches to ensure access will not be impeded; (iv) appropriate scheduling of works to avoid peak tourist season in important places; (v) use of noise-dampening measures in areas with sensitive receptors such as hospitals, schools, places of worships and other silence-zones; (vi) use of dust-suppression methods such as watering and/or covering of stockpiles; and (vii) finding beneficial use of excavated materials to extent possible to reduce the quantity that will be disposed off. As for the O&M phase, all facilities and infrastructure will operate with routine maintenance, which should not affect the environment, facilities will need to be repaired from time to time, but environmental impacts will be much less than those of the construction period as the work will be infrequent, affecting small areas only. The design of the WTPs includes dewatering and drying areas as part of sludge management. The EMP includes mitigation measures and monitoring plan to ensure compliance to environmental standards during O&M phase.

24. The EMP will guide the environmentally-sound construction of the subproject and ensure efficient lines of communication between Madhya Pradesh Urban Development Company (MPUDC), project management unit (PMU), project implementing unit (PIU), consultants and contractors. The EMP will (i) ensure that the activities are undertaken in a responsible non- detrimental manner; (i) provide a pro-active, feasible and practical working tool to enable the measurement and monitoring of environmental performance on site; (ii) guide and control the implementation of findings and recommendations of the environmental assessment conducted for the subproject; (iii) detail specific actions deemed necessary to assist in mitigating the environmental impact of the subproject; and (iv) ensure that safety recommendations are complied with. The EMP includes a monitoring program to measure the environmental condition and effectiveness of implementation of the mitigation measures. It will include observations on- and off-site, document checks, and interviews with workers and beneficiaries.

25. The DBO contractor will be required to PMU, for review and approval, a site environmental plan (SEP) including(i) proposed sites/locations for a construction work camps, storage areas, haulaing roads, lay down areas, disposal areas for solid and hazardous wastes: (ii) specific mitigation measures following the approved EMP; (iii)monitoring program as per SEP; and (iv) budget for implementation. No works are allowed to commence prior to approval of SEP.

26. A copy of the EMP/approved SEP will be kept on site during the construction period at all times. The EMP included in the bid and contract documents. Non-compliance with, or any deviation from, the conditions set out in this document constitutes a failure in compliance.

27. Consultation, disclosure and grievance redress mechanism. Public consultation was done in the preparation of the project and IEE report at town level and with people and residents residing near proposed subprojects components. Consultation were also held with the officials of Madhav National Park as the Karera wildlife sanctuary’s management and control is under them. They have no objection. Refer Appendix 10 to Appendix 11. Also consultation was conducted with the officials of Kuno wildlife sanctuary for Bairad & Vijaypur towns. Refer Appendix 14 to Appendix 16. The detailed of Public consultation meetings are given in Appendix 11 to Appendix 17. The stakeholders were involved in developing the IEE through discussions on-site and public consultation at several places in the town, after which views expressed were incorporated into the IEE and in the planning and development of the project. The IEE will be made available at public locations and will be disclosed to a wider audience via the ADB, MPUDC and PMU websites. The consultation process will be continued and expanded during project implementation to ensure that stakeholders are fully engaged in the project and have the opportunity to participate in its development and implementation. A grievance redress mechanism is described within the IEE to ensure any public grievances are addressed quickly.

28. Implementation Arrangements. Urban Development and Environment Department (UDED) of Government of Madhya Pradesh will be the Executing Agency. Implementing Agency will be Madhya Pradesh Urban Development Company (MPUDC), A central Project Management Unit (PMU) attached to MPUDC will be responsible for implementing the MPUSIP. The PMU will be supported by Program Implementation Units (PIUs). Several teams of Design Consultants, and a Program Management Consultant (PMC) centrally located in PMU and with field teams, will support PMU & PIUs. Infrastructure will be designed, built, and operated (DBO) by contractor for 10 years, after which it will be transferred to the ULB. Project Officer (Environment) at PMU and Assistant Safeguard Officer (ASO) at each of the PIU will be responsible for environment safeguards tasks, and will be supported by Environment Specialist of PMC Team. At PMC’s environmental safeguards staff include an Environmental Specialist Consultant located centrally in Bhopal, and will be responsible for all safeguard tasks, and he/she is supported by an Environmental Engineer in each PIU. At the time of submission of this IEE, Environmental Specialist at Bhopal has been appointed in PMC, but Environmental Engineer is not appointed in PIU PMC - Gwalior. Environmental engineer is likely to appointed by PMC at the earliest. Contractor personnel will include an Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) supervisor.

29. Monitoring and Reporting. The PMU and PMC will be responsible for monitoring. The PMC will submit quarterly and semi-annual monitoring reports to PMU, and the PMU will review and send the semi-annual monitoring reports to ADB. ADB will post the environmental monitoring reports on its website.

30. Conclusions and Recommendations: The proposed project is therefore unlikely to cause significant adverse impacts. The potential impacts that are associated with design, construction and operation can be mitigated to standard levels without difficulty through proper engineering design and the incorporation or application of recommended mitigation measures and procedures. As per ADB SPS, the project is classified as environmental category B and does not require further environmental impact assessment. However, for Isagarh town, a groundwater sustainability plan should be prepared through a detailed groundwater study, and the measures of which are to be incorporated into the project to ensure the project sustainability. Project will require following government permission/approvals: (i) permission of WRD, GoMP for water abstraction for Karera, Pichhore, Aron, Bairad and Vijaypur (ii) consent for construction of WTP in government land and establishment and consent for operation for WTP from Madhya Pradesh Pollution Control Board. These permissions/approvals shall be obtained prior to invitation of bids (iv) For Isagarh a groundwater sustainability plan should be prepared through a detailed groundwater study, and the measures of which are to be incorporated into the project to ensure the project sustainability.

31. This IEE will be updated during the detailed design stage by the DBO contractor to reflect any changes, amendments and will be reviewed and approved by PMU.

B. Purpose of this IEE Report 6. ADB requires the consideration of environmental issues in all aspects of the Bank’s operations, and the requirements for environmental assessment are described in ADB‟s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS), 2009. The potential environmental impacts of the subproject have been assessed using ADB Rapid Environmental Assessment Checklist for Water Supply (Appendix 1). Then potential negative impacts were identified in relation to pre-construction, construction and operation of the improved infrastructure, and results of the assessment show that the subproject is unlikely to cause significant adverse impacts. Thus, this initial environmental examination (IEE) has been prepared in accordance with ADB SPS‟s requirements for environment category B projects.

7. This IEE report is based on detailed engineering report prepared by DPR Consultants and will be finalized during implementation stage by DBO contractor to reflect any changes and latest subproject designs. The IEE was based mainly on field reconnaissance surveys and secondary sources of information. No field monitoring (environmental) survey was conductedhowever, the environmental monitoring program developed as part of the environmental management plan (EMP) will require the contractors to establish the baseline environmental conditions prior to commencement of civil works. The results will be reported as part of the environmental monitoring report and will be the basis to ensure no degradation will happen during subproject implementation. An Environment Management Plan (EMP) includes mitigation measures for significant environmental impacts during implementation of the projects. Stakeholder consultation was an integral part of the IEE.

B. Existing Water Supply Situation

1. Karera Town 16. Presently water supply in Karera town depends upon surface source and ground water source. Major water supply of the town is done by surface source. Mahuar River and Dumghana dam are the major surface source available in the town. WTP of capacity 1.5 MLD is available in the town. Water from Dumghana dam is been came to Intake structure near Khairaghat near Military area then water is being pumped to WTP near highway.

17. Also there is an Intake well on Mahuar River from which water is also been pumped to WTP. Then water is pumped to 2 OHTs in the town, one at Nagar Parishad and another at Krishi Mandi. Water distribution system of ACP/PVC of approximate length 10km is laid in the town. The distribution in the town is laid in very haphazard manner which increases the water losses by 42%.

18. Present water supply arrangements are not adequate and ground water source level is depleting day by day, therefore water scarcity conditions are arising. Water supply losses during transmission are also very high i.e. more than42%, that leads to a high energy consumption and loss of ULB.

2. PICHHORE 19. Presently water supply system in Pichhore is based on ground water (6 Tube wells & 141 Hand pumps) as well as surface water. Presently only 40 LPCD water is being supplied to the town which is very less as per the norms of CPHEEO Manual. Since the water supply, distribution system is laid in parts and haphazard manner, which causes water supply losses at the rate of 40%. As per the Service Level Benchmarking (2008) of GoI, it is mandatory to supply 135 LPCD of treated (quality) water to the 100% population of town.

20. Water from all these ground water is pumped directly to town while the water from Futiwar dam is supplied to 400KL MBR near WTP. From the 400KL MBR water is been supplied to one Open well and to GSR near school. From open well water is being pumped to 200KL GSR behind Nagar Parishad and from sumpwell near school water is been pumped to another 200 KL GSR at Hazira Pahadi. Water supply distribution system is laid of diameters 63 / 75 / 100 / 150 mm PVC pipes. Total 18 Km water supply distribution system is laid in the Pichhore town. Thus total water supply to the Pichhore town made is 0.80 MLD i.e. 40 LPCD, which is below the guidelines given, as it should be 70 LPCD for town with population below 30000.

3. ARON 21. Presently water supply in Aron town depends upon ground water source. Major water supply of the town is done by Ground water. There are 29 Tube wells and 51 hand pump present in the town. From the tube wells water is pumped to 3 no. of OHTs in the town. From these OHTs water is distributed to whole town.

4. BAIRAD 22. Water supply in Bairad, responsibility of Nagar Parishad, is primarily dependent on sub- surface water sources. At present, water is drawn from 7 municipal tube wells located across the city. Apart from tube wells, town has 10 nos of hand pumps located at various locations as one of the source of water supply. Water is drawn from 07 municipal tube wells located across the town. the size of the tube wells is 6” diameter with depth of 600 ft. Ground water is available at 500ft. Tube wells are having submersible pumps with capacity of 15 HP each. Therefore, there is no water storage facility in the town. Water supply is facilitated directly from tube wells to the distribution system. At present Bairad town doesn’t have any water treatment plant.

23. At present, town is having two OHSR under its jurisdiction. OHSR is located in ward no 5 and was built in the year 1970. Hence it has become old and in dilapidated and can’t be used for the supply purpose. Other OHSR was built in year 1990; having capacity of 1.0 Lac liter &It is located in ward no.9. It covers an area under wards 8, 9 and 11.

24. The distribution system of Bairad town is very old with limited coverage. BNP has 5 km of distribution network of piped water supply. The material of pipe is in the form of GI pipe with size of 3” in diameter. It covers areas under Ward No. 5,7,8,9 and 11. BNP has two water tankers. In some of the area’s water supply is being done by water tankers. Presently the water tax is collecting in town at the rate of Rs.30/- per connection per month for domestic connections.

5. VIJAYPUR 25. Water supply in Vijaypur is primarily dependent on sub-surface water sources. At present, water is drawn from 22 municipal tube wells having sizes of 6” and 7” diameter, with yield of 10 to 15 KL/hour located across the town. Besides bore wells, water is extracted through 65 hand pumps (for daily usage) located across the city. At present there are 2 Over Head Tanks (OHTs) and One Sump for storage with a total capacity of 50000 gallons & 75000 gallons exist in the town. In the areas having OHT, water is supplied busing OHT as well as using bore wells. In rest of the wards, the tube wells are directly connected to the system without any storage or treatment. These results in uneven pressure across the network and some of the localities across the town have reported low pressure of water supply.

26. The entire Vijaypur being supplied from ground water source. The present distribution system was laid in 1974 and thereafter it was increased based on requirement and demand. These pipelines are old and dilapidated and need to be replaced. At present the town has around 4 Km length of distribution system of AC, GI pipes having 3 inch (80-90%) & 2 inch (10%) diameters. At present, the water supply is 0.85 MLD (after deducting losses & inadequacy). The water supply is approximately 50 lpcd which is low as per standards. At present water is being supplying from tube wells Vijaypur town doesn’t have any water treatment plant. The water from wells is directly supplied to the households through OHSRs. In 1974, VNP has constructed surface water based scheme with slow sand filter having a capacity of 200KL per day. However due lack of maintenance the system was abandoned. Presently the water tax is being collected in town at the rate of Rs.30/- per connection per month for domestic connections. There are total 1600 numbers of connections for water supply.

6. ISAGARH 27. In present situation most of the residents of the town obtain their water from an improved point source, such as a well or tube well. The water drawn from the tube wells is directly pumped to the existing tank and from tank distributed to the Nagar Parishad after initial disinfection. At present 0.9 MLD of water is being supplied in the Nagar Parishad from 16 tube wells functioning well in the Nagar Parishad. The quality of water is acceptable limit of IS-10500 for drinking purposed. The physico-Chemical characteristics of the analyzed water sample are well within the desirable standard limit.

28. The existing water supply pipe networks coverage is around 60%. From the collected Existing water supply map from ULB, it is reveal that from 12” dia to 3” dia AC pipes & PVC pipes are used in entire distribution networks section which is of around 15-year-old age. There are 16 Nos Tubewells, 3 Watertank, 60 Handpumps and 1 water tanker present in the town. As per the guide line AC pipes is no longer to be used for water supply project. Hence existing networks not incorporated &proposed in this DPR. There is no water treatment plant facility available in the Nagar Parishad area. Presently only primary informal treatment is being done at the source level (i.e. at the tube well points). In view of ensuring health safety of Nagar Parishad efforts must be made to ensure proper treatment of water to achieve drinking water standards. There is no water treatment plant facility available in the Nagar Parishad area. Presently only primary informal treatment is being done at the source level (i.e. at the tube well points). In view of ensuring health safety of Nagar Parishad efforts must be made to ensure proper treatment of water to achieve drinking water standards.

29. Overall, the current water supply systems in all these six towns suffer from unreliable sources, low coverage, inadequate storage, poor network efficiency, low management capability and heavy water losses.

C. Proposed Project 30. Proposed project Components: As part of this project, it is proposed to develop comprehensive water supply schemes in each of the six project towns. Proposals include new water sources, treatment facilities, storage reservoirs, pumping, transmission and distribution infrastructure. Project will also provide consumer connections with flow meters. Bulk flow meters are proposed at strategic locations to monitor the system performance efficiency.

31. Water Source: An alternative source analysis has been conducted to select a feasible and sustainable source of water supply to meet the ultimate design demand. Except Isagarh, surface water is taken as source for the proposed schemes in the five project towns. In case of ground water source for Isagarh, existing 16 tube wells are adopted as source for the systemand pumping into sumps, disinfection with chlorine, pumping to overhead tanks, and distribution from OHTs. In case of surface water source, it is proposed to withdraw water by intake constructed in the bed of the river/dams. From intake raw water is proposed to pump to WTP through raw water rising mains for the treatment. From WTP, the treated water is directly pumped to each OHSR in every water distribution zone of the town.

32. Following Table 1 shows the proposed water supply systems along with nature and size of components in six subproject towns. Figure 2 to Figure 22 show the proposed water systems, component layouts etc.

33. Construction Works. Civil works in the project include linear excavation for laying pipes along the roads, placing pipes in the trench and refilling with the excavated soil. The trenches will be of 0.4 m – 0.7 m wide and 0.8 to 1 m depth. Subsequent to completion of works, road reinstatement will be undertaken by the contractor as part of the civil works. The roads in the core city area of the town is very narrow and congested with pedestrians and vehicles, while the roads in outer areas are wide. Other civil works in the subproject include construction of intake well, water treatment plant, water tanks, pumping stations, at the identified sites. These works will be confined to sites, and construction will include general activities like excavation for foundation, construction of foundations, columns, walls and roof in cement concrete and masonry, and fixing of mechanical and electrical fixtures, etc. Intake well cum pump house will involve construction within the water body. A temporary enclosed area (about 10 m dia) will be created using appropriate material and the water will be pumped out to make the area dry for construction. Once this is created, the rest of the construction will follow the general construction procedures to create a RCC well of size 6 m diameter. Once the work is over, the temporary structure will be removed.

34. Project benefits. The subproject aims to achieve safe and sustainable water services both in terms of services to customers, cost recovery and conservation of precious water resources. The subproject will provide continuous, pressurized and safe drinking water services to entire population of the towns (100% coverage). Besides achieving progressively increasing cost recovery by expanding the coverage and increasing operating efficiency, the subproject will improve the overall environmental quality of the town. It will reduce the reduced time and costs of households in accessing alternative sources of water, and will lead to better public health particularly reduction in waterborne and infectious diseases.

IV. POLICY, LEGAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE FRAMEWORK

A. ADB Policy 36. ADB requires the consideration of environmental issues in all aspects of ADB’s operations, and the requirements for environmental assessment are described in ADB SPS, 2009. This states that ADB requires environmental assessment of all ADB investments.

37. Screening and categorization. The nature of the environmental assessment required for a project depends on the significance of its environmental impacts, which are related to the type and location of the project; the sensitivity, scale, nature, and magnitude of its potential impacts; and the availability of cost-effective mitigation measures. Projects are screened for their expected environmental impacts, and are assigned to one of the following four categories:

(i) Category A. Projects could have significant adverse environmental impacts. An EIA is required to address significant impacts. (ii) Category B. Projects could have some adverse environmental impacts, but of lesser degree or significance than those in category A. An IEE is required to determine whether significant environmental impacts warranting an EIA are likely. If an EIA is not needed, the IEE is regarded as the final environmental assessment report. (iii) Category C. Projects are unlikely to have adverse environmental impacts. No EIA or IEE is required, although environmental implications are reviewed. (iv) Category FI. Projects involve a credit line through a financial intermediary or an equity investment in a financial intermediary. The financial intermediary must apply an environmental management system, unless all projects will result in insignificant impacts.

38. Environmental management plan. An EMP, which addresses the potential impacts and risks identified by the environmental assessment, shall be prepared. The level of detail and complexity of the EMP and the priority of the identified measures and actions will be commensurate with the project’s impact and risks.

39. Public disclosure. ADB will post the safeguard documents on its website as well as disclose relevant information in accessible manner in local communities:

(i) for environmental category A projects, draft EIA report at least 120 days before Board consideration; (ii) final or updated EIA and/or IEE upon receipt; and (iii) environmental monitoring reports submitted by the implementing agency during project implementation upon receipt.

B. National Environmental Laws 40. Environmental assessment. The GoI EIA Notification of 2006 (replacing the EIA Notification of 1994), sets out the requirement for Environmental Assessment in India. This states that Environmental Clearance (EC) is required for specified activities/projects, and ECmust be obtained before any construction work or land preparation (except land acquisition) may commence. Projects are categorized as A or B1 or B2 depending on the scale of the project and the nature of its impacts.

41. None of the components of this water supply subproject falls under the ambit of the EIA Notification 2006, and, therefore no category assigned, and thus no EIA study and EC required for the subproject

42. Applicable Environmental Regulations. Besides EIA Notification 2006, there are various other acts, rules, policies and regulations currently in force in India that deal with environmental issues that could apply to infrastructure development. The specific regulatory compliance requirements of the subproject are shown in Table 2.

Table 2: Applicable Environmental Regulations Law Description Requirement The EIA notification, 2006 This states that Environmental Not applicable. (and its subsequent Clearance (EC) is required for amendments in 2009) specified activities/projects, The sub-project is not included in provides for categorization of and this must be obtained schedule of environmental impact projects into category A and before any construction work assessment notification 2006 and B, based on extent of impact or land preparation (except its subsequent amendments till land acquisition) may date, so it is not categories as commence. Projects are either Category A or Category B. categorized as A or B As a result, environmental depending on the scale of the clearance is not required, either project and the nature of its from the state or the central impacts. Categories A projects Government. require Environmental Clearance from the National Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF). Category B projects require environmental clearance from the State Environment Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA).

MadhyaPradesh Prepared in accordance with Permission of WRD, GoMP for StateWater the National Water Policy, it abstraction of water from Samoha Policy,2003 states that “for environmental dam, Futiwar dam, Pachipura balance, skillful and planned dam, existing stop dam/weir and management of all types of from Sindh river etc. for WSS developmental activities, subprojects towns; Karera, economic use on equitable Pichhore, Bairad, Vijaypur and basis and in view of the prime Aron etc. has been granted and importance of water for all NOCs has obtained. - Refer human and other living Appendix 24. beings, an effective and sound water policy is necessary”. Policy is detailed in 17 sections dealing with different aspects of water resources. No. 7 deals with Water Allocation Priorities, and according to which drinking water supply shall have the highest priority followed by irrigation, power, tourism, etc. Water Resource Department is nodal department for permitting different uses of water resources. Policy also states that “clear provision for reservation of drinking water shall be made in irrigation projects” Dam” Water (Prevention and Act was enacted to provide WTP requires CFE and CFO Control of Pollution) Act of for the prevention and control from MPPCB. 1974, Rules of 1975, and of water pollution and the amendments maintaining or restoring of wholesomeness of water, by Application has to be submitted Central and State Pollution online at Control Boards and for http://www.mppcb.nic.in/xgn.html conferring and assigning to CPCB/SPCBs powers &functions relating to water pollution control.

Control of water pollution is achieved through administering conditions imposed in consent issued under to this Act. These conditions regulate the quantity and quantity of effluent, the location of discharge and the frequency of monitoring of effluents. Any component of the subproject having the potential to generate sewage or trade effluent will come under its purview. Such projects have to obtain Consent to Establish (CTE) & Consent to Operate (CTO) under Section 25 from Madhya Pradesh Pollution Control Board (MPPCB) before starting implementation and Consent For Operate (CFO) before commissioning.

Prohibited & Regulated Karera Wildlife sanctuary today has not a single bird species. Owing to villagers/public pressure and the extinction of the bird locally, the National Board for Wildlife and the Government of Madhya Pradesh have decided to denotify the sanctuary and is seeking the Centre's approval. The decision is now awaiting a final approval from the Supreme Court of India (For Denotification Details Refer “Minutes of 18th Meeting of Standing Committee of NBWL annexed as Appendix 26.)

Karera wildlife sanctuary is spread over an area of 202 km2, of which as much as 146 km2 is privately owned land. The Eco-Sensitive Zone (ESZ) is spread over an area of 93.00square kilometres with an extant varying from 500 meter from notified urban and ‘abadi’ areas and 2 kilometers on the rest of area from the boundary of the Karera Wildlife Sanctuary.

All the components like Intake, WTP & OHT are located about a distance of 500m–2km away from the boundary of Karera wildlife sanctuary as mentioned above.

(i) Proposed Intake well is located around 13.2 km away from Karera town. Intake well is about a distance of 500 m away from boundary of Karera Bird’s Sanctuary and comes under Eco-Sensitive zone (ESZ). As per MOEFCC Notification; Commercial Extraction of Surface Water within Eco Sensitive Zone is Regulated under applicable Law. (Refer Table – 3, S. No. 27 & Refer Appendix 25, Para 4, S. No. 27- MOEFCC Notification). Also NoC from WRD for abstraction of water from Samoha dam and construction of intake already obtained (For NoC, Refer Appendix 24).

(ii) The raw water rising main, connecting intake and WTP, will be partly outside and partly within the towns, which will be laid partly within the ecosensitive zone boundary and partly away from the ESZ boundary of sanctuary (Refer google map annexed as Fig- 24). Raw water & clear water rising main will be laid underground from the intake well to WTP and from WTP to OHTs site along an existing road within ROW. WTP, OHTs and clear water rising main is located within the municipal limits of Karera Nagar Parishad, but it is within the boundary of ESZ of Karera bird sanctuary. WTP is about a distance of 500m and OHTs are about 1- 2 km away from the boundary of Karera wildlife sanctuary, where there are no sensitive environmental features.

(iii) Construction activities in Eco-Sensitive Zone is permitted as per building bye laws to meet the residential needs of the local residents such as construction and renovation of infrastructure and civic aminities (Refer Table 3, S. No. 14 & S. No. 20 and Refer Appendix 18, Para 4, S. No. 14 & S. No. 20- MOEFCC Notification). However, it will be done with mitigation measures, as per applicable laws, rules and regulation and available guidelines.

(iv) Also Refer Appendix 31, which talks about non- applicability of wildlife clearance about projects falling in Eco-Sensitive Zone which are not covered under EIA Notification and which do not require environmental clearances would aslo not required approval of standing committee of National Board of wild life. (v) Also consultation conducted with forest official on dated 10.05.2018 at Office of Chief Conservator of Forest & Director, Madhav National Park, Shivpuri as Its management and control is under Field Director of Madhav National Park (Refer Appendix 7 & Appendix 10). Detailed discussions held and briefed about proposed components under water supply scheme for Karera town within ecosensitive zone and its impact on Karera bird Sanctuary. They told that they have no objection as this project is to meet the daily residential needs of the local residents by providing with a constant supply of better quality water as the subproject will improve the overall environmental quality of the town and surrounding areas.

Since the proposed subprojects components such as Intake, RWRM, WTP, CWRM and OHTs works shall be limited to actual construction area and the access roads, but appropriate steps should be taken according to the nature of the risk. Precaution must be taken care to minimize the noise during construction work to avoid any negative impact on bird sanctuary. The impact will be only for limited time during construction work.

(vi) For Bairad & Vijaypur Towns: Kuno Wildlife Sanctury which is also known as Palpur - Kuno Wildlife Sanctuary is situated at a distance of 10 km away from Bairad and 24 km away from vijaypur town. None of the subproject components are located within the boundary of Kuno wildlife sanctuary nor in its ecosensitive zone. Refer Google Maps of Kuno wildlife sanctuary and subproject towns; showing the boundaries of both clearly alongwith location of main components i.e. Source/intake, WTP & OHTs etc. which is appended as Fig - 29

Kuno wildlife sanctuary is spread over an area of 344.686 sq. kms. The Eco-Sensitive Zone shall be of 207.451 square kilo meters with an extent up to two kilometers around the boundary of Kuno- palpur Sanctuary. Labor Laws The contractor shall not make Appendix 6 provides applicable employment decisions based labor laws including amendments upon personal characteristics issued from time to time applicable unrelated to job requirements. to establishments engaged in The contractor shall base the construction of civil works. employment relationship upon equal opportunity and fair treatment, and shall not discriminate with respect to aspects of the employment relationship, including recruitment and hiring, compensation (including wages and benefits), working conditions and terms of employment or retirement, and discipline. The contractor shall provide equal wages and benefits to men and women for work of equal value or type.

43. ADB SPS Requirements. During the design, construction, and operation of the project the PMU and PIUs are required to apply pollution prevention and control technologies and practices consistent with international good practice, as reflected in internationally recognized standards such as the World Bank Group’s Environment, Health and Safety Guidelines. (IFC’s General EHS Guidelines1 and Sector Specific (Water and Sanitation) Guidelines2). These standards contain performance levels and measures that are normally acceptable and applicable to projects. When Government of India regulations differ from these levels and measures, the PMU and PIUs will achieve whichever is more stringent. If less stringent levels or measures are appropriate in view of specific project circumstances, the PMU and PIUs will provide full and detailed justification for any proposed alternatives that are consistent with the requirements presented in ADB SPS. International acceptable air and noise quality guidelines are provided below:

V. DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT (BASELINE DATA)

A. Methodology Used for Baseline Study 44. Data Collection and Stakeholder Consultations. Data for this study has been primarily collected through comprehensive literature survey, discussion with stakeholder agencies, and field visits to the proposed subproject sites.

45. The literature survey broadly covered the following:

(i) Project details, reports, maps, and other documents prepared by technical experts of the Design consultant (ii) Discussions with Technical experts of the design team, municipal authorities, relevant government agencies like WRD, Forest Department, MPPCB, etc. (iii) Secondary data from previous project reports and published articles, and (iv) Literature on land use, soil, geology, hydrology, climate, socioeconomic profiles, and other planning documents collected from Government agencies and websites.

46. Ocular inspection. Several visits to the project sites were made during IEE preparation period in 2016 to assess the existing environment (physical, biological, and socioeconomic) and gather information with regard to the proposed sites and scale of the proposed project. A separate socioeconomic study was conducted to determine the demographic information, existing service levels, stakeholder needs and priorities.

Karera Wildlife sanctuary today has not a single bird species. Owing to villagers / public pressure and the extinction of the bird locally, the National Board for Wildlife and the Government of Madhya Pradesh have decided to denotify the sanctuary and is seeking the Centre's approval. The decision is now awaiting a final approval from the Supreme Court of India and should it come through, the sanctuary will become the country's first such reserve to lose its official recognition. (For Denotification Details Refer “Minutes of 18th Meeting of Standing Committee of NBWL annexed as Appendix 26.)

Karera, wildlife sanctuary is situated on the way from Shivpuri to Jhansi in the Shivpuri district of Madhya Pradesh, India. It is situated at the western boundary of the Karera town. The sanctuary is at a distance of around 55 km from Shivpuri and around 14 km away from Karera town (Refer Google Map Annexed as Fig – 24). It was originally created with the aim of protecting the local population of the great Indian bustard. It is now in the process of being denotified due to opposition by the local people and the extinction of the bird locally. The Karera Sanctuary was notified in 1981 by the Government of Madhya Pradesh in accordance with the provisions of the Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972. It is spread over an area of 202 km2, of which as much as 146 km2 is privately owned land. The Eco- Sensitive Zone (ESZ) is spread over an area of 93.00square kilometres with an extant varying from 500 meter from notified urban and ‘abadi’ areas and 2 kilometers on the rest of area from the boundary of the Karera Wildlife Sanctuary. Its management & control is under Field Director of Madhav National Park in Shivpuri district.

Fauna: Black Buck, Nilgai are found in large numbers in the sanctuary and the importantavifauna include Bar headed geese, paradise flycatcher, Demoiselle Grane, Darter, Dabchick, Grey partridge, Rosy pelican, white backed vulture, wiretaited swallow, Tailor bird, Pied Kingfisher, Black headed golden Oriole, white wagtail, white pelican, pintail, combduke, Shoveller, Gadwall, Jacana, Blossom headed parakeet, Mahratta, Woodpecker, Marsh Harrier, Pied Myna, Baya weaver, Grey Horbill, Red Turtle Dove, painted snipe, Purple moorhens and Red creasted pochard vulture etc; The sanctuary is famous for its celebrity inhabitant Indian bustard and is believed to be last refuge of this bird. The studies conducted on the Indian bustard here have revealed that there are three type of bustards found in sanctuary. The three types of bustards you may come across are Indian bustard, bearded bustard and colored bustard.The bustard, locally known as son chidiya or the golden bird and the blackbuck are the two important faunal species at the park, although bustards have not been spotted here since 1994. The Dihaliya lake within the park hosts migratory birds and the initial approval for denotification of the sanctuary required the establishment of a sanctuary consisting of the lake and the government land around it. Dilhaila Jheel(lake) in the Karera Sanctuary is the only water source for its inhabitants. Entirely rainfed, the size and depth of the lake depend on the monsoons each year. Across the waters lies the Dilhaila village whose inhabitants own and use the land forming the lakebed and whose crops have benefited from the guanodeposits of the birds. There are many migratory birds that settle here in the season. In fact, experts have recorded a total of 245 bird species in Karera. There are Barheaded Goose (Anser indicus), Shoveller (Anas lypeata); pintails (Anas acuta),, teals, and gadwalls snoozing in the sun or squatting meditatively in the mud. There are resident water birds too like the black-bellied river terns, egrets, and spoonbills. Other birds found here are herons, Indian robins, as also insects like dragonflies, damselflies, and butterflies. Paradise Flycatcher (Terpsiphone), Demoiselle crane (Anthropoides virgo), Darter (Anhinga rufa), Grey partridge (Perdix perdix), Rosy pelican (Pelecanus onocrotalus), White backed vultre (Gyps africanus), Tailor bird (Orthotomus), Pied kingfisher (Ceryle rudis), Baltimore Oriole (Icterus galbula), White wagtail (Motacilla alba), White pelican (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos), Combduke (Sarkidiornis melanotos), Gadwall (Anas strepera), Jacana (Jacanidae), Blossom headed (Psittacula roseata), Woodpecker (Picidae), Marsh harrier (Circus aeruginosus), Pied Myna (Gracupica contra), Baya weaver (Ploceus philippinus), Grey horbill (Tockus birostris), Red turtle Dove (Streptopelia tranquebarica), Pained snipe (Rostratulidae), Purple moorhens (Porphyrio porphyria);

Flora: The sanctuary contains mixed deciduous forests and acacia is the principal species. There are no trees except acacia throughout this forest. It also has riverine and swamp vegetation within its borders. Ber bushes and other wild plants are found in abundance.

Note: - As per Minutes of the 18th Meeting of the Standing Committee of National Board for Wildlife (NBWL) held on 12th April, 2010 in 403, Paryavaran Bhavan, CGO Complex, Lodi Road, New Delhi- 110003, With respect to, Karera Wildlife Sanctuary, Madhya Pradesh, the Member Secretary informed that Shri. Mahendra Vyas, Member of Rationalization Committee had inspected the site and submitted his report. In his report he had recommended for denotification of the sanctuary subject to the condition that the Government should find out the cause of disappearance of the Great Indian Bustard. The Chief Wildlife Warden, Madhya Pradesh, informed that the bustards were not seen since 1995 and that most of the land inside the sanctuary was private land and people were facing lot of problems. After detailed discussions, the committee agreed to the proposal for denotification of Karera Wildlife Sanctuary. (For MOM Details Refer Appendix 26). 12.

Water level in the dam is usually high in the post monsoon season, and recedes with release of water in the period of October /November to January / February. As per local peoples, enough water is available throughout the year at proposed site of Intake well. The gross storage capacity of Samoha dam is 19.552 MCM and Live storage capacity is 18.533 MCM, while the water requirement for the project is 8.30 MLD or 3.03 MCM per year, which is about 16.35%, which is adequate to meet the project yearly demand of the design year.

Proposed intake location is within the boundary of eco sensitive zone, about a distance of around 500m away from the boundary of Karera wildlife Sanctuary as shown in google map annexed as Fig – 24. and as per Site Photograph showing- Final MOEFCC, New Delhi Notification selected location of Intake-well of dated 15th Septmber 2017, eastern bank of Samoha Dam across Commercial Extraction of Surface Mahuwar River at village Khaira Modi Water is regulated under applicable law and as per law NoC from WRD already obtained for water abstraction and construction of intake well on eastern bank of Samoha dam in River Mahuar, which is appended as Appendix 24. Also as per MOEFCC Notification- Construction activities within Eco- Sensitive Zone is permitted as per building bylaws to meet the residential needs of the local residents such as construction and renovation of infrastructure including civic aminities. (Refer Table 3, S. No. 14 & S. No. 20 & Refer MOEFCC Notification annexed as Appendix 25, Para 4, S.No. 14 & S. No. 20). However, it will be done with mitigation measures, as per applicable laws, rules and regulation and available guidelines.

Note: - As per DPR, source of water for subproject water supply town Karera was proposed on western bank of Samoha dam located at Jhanda village. Later on, it was come under notice that proposed location of intake as well as alignment of raw water rising main comes under ecological sensitive area known as Karera Wildlife Sanctuary or Son Chiraiya Bird Sanctuary, Karera which is about 14 Kms. away from subproject town and secondly proposed alignment passes through private land too. Taking into consideration, a joint visit of DBO Contractor, PMU-Gwalior along with PMC was scheduled on 24th January 2018 to resolve this issue and new location has been identified and recommended unanimously by joint team.

VI. ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

A. Introduction 48. A. Potential environmental impacts of the proposed infrastructure components are presented in this section. Measures to minimize/mitigate negative impacts, if any, are recommended along with the agency responsible for implementation. Monitoring actions to be conducted during the implementation phase is also recommended to reduce impact.

49. Screening of potential environmental impacts are categorized into four categories considering subproject phases: location impacts and design impacts (pre-construction phase), construction phase impacts and operations and maintenance phase impacts.

A. Location impacts include impacts associated with site selection and include loss of on- site biophysical array and encroachment either directly or indirectly on adjacent environments. It also includes impacts on people who will lose their livelihood or any other structures by the development of that site. B. Design impacts include impacts arising from Investment Program design, including technology used, scale of operation/throughput, waste production, discharge specifications, pollution sources and ancillary services. C. Construction impacts include impacts caused by site clearing, earthworks, machinery, vehicles and workers. Construction site impacts include erosion, dust, noise, traffic congestion and waste production. D. O&M impacts include impacts arising from the operation and maintenance activities of the infrastructure facility. These include routine management of operational waste streams, and occupational health and safety issues.

50. Screening of environmental impacts has been based on the impact magnitude (negligible/moderate/severe – in the order of increasing degree) and impact duration (temporary/permanent).

51. This section of the IEE reviews possible project-related impacts, in order to identify issues requiring further attention and screen out issues of no relevance. ADB SPS (2009) require that impacts and risks will be analyzed during pre-construction, construction, and operational stages in the context of the project’s area of influence.

52. The ADB Rapid Environmental Assessment Checklist in http://www.adb.org/documents/guidelines/environmental_assessment/eaguidelines002.aspis used to screen project for environmental impacts and to determine the scope of the IEE

53. In the case of this project (i) most of the individual elements are relatively small and involve straightforward construction and operation, so impacts will be mainly localized and not greatly significant;(ii) proposed water abstraction from the sources is very small compared to overall water availability, and necessary water allocations are being made from Water Resources Department(iii) most of the predicted impacts are associated with the construction process, and are produced because that process is invasive, involving excavation and earth movements; and some works are located in the reservoir and (iv) being mostly located in an urban area, will not cause direct impact on biodiversity values. The project will be in properties held by the local government and access to the project location is through public rights-of-way and existing roads hence, land acquisition and encroachment on private property will not occur. B. Pre-Construction Impacts – Design & Location 54. Design of the Proposed Components. Technical design of the (i) intake facilities for five subproject towns, including Weirat kunwari river for (Aron town only), (ii) water treatment plants; (iii) raw water and clear water mains, (iv) storage reservoirs, and (v) distribution network, connections, flow meters, etc., follows the relevant national planning and design guidelines, focusing on providing a robust system which is easy to operate, sustainable, efficient and economically viable. Besides, the project also included the following environmental considerations;

(i) Continuation of groundwater source for subproject town Isagarh (ii) Conducting a detailed groundwater study and preparation of a groundwater sustainability plan for Isagarh to address the groundwater sustainability issue. It is proposed that the implementation of Source Sustainability Plan will be part of the project and will inter alia include measures like sub-surface dykes; a combination of sub-surface dyke and check dam; check dam; recharge pits; recharge shafts, community roof top rainwater harvesting systems, etc. (iii) Discontinuation of current unsustainable groundwater source and creating a new comprehensive water supply system based on a nearest surface water source for five subproject towns except Isagarh town (iv) Limiting the height of water impounding structures (dams) in Aron to much below the height of the Sindh river banks so that the storage is limited to the river course (v) Recovering wash water from treatment process (vi) Treatment and reuse of sludge from treatment process (vii) Minimizing water losses from pipelines by perfect jointing and alignments using appropriate techniques (HDPE pipes upto150mm dia joined by electrofusion couplers usingon-site electrofusion welding, andall higherdia pipes byon site butt welding) (viii) Designing the entire system to maintain optimal flow and terminal pressure, and optimizing the overall energy usage (ix) Reducing the incidence of water borne diseases by providing100% Population including urban poor with potable waters upplies (x) Improve water use efficiency and reduce water wastage at house hold level by recording and monitoring the water usage, and charging the consumers as per usage; due consideration to urban poor (xi) Minimize unaccounted for water (UFW) losses using district metered area approach with flow meter and pressure logging arrangements to identify and rectify the leaks, and unauthorized connections (xii) Using low-noise and energy efficient pumping systems

55. Selection of water source, Source Sustanability & Impact Association with water Abstraction: Selection of water source is defined as below:

1. Karera: There is possible water source for Karera town:

(i) Extracting Ground Water (ii) Dumghana Dam (iii) Samoha Dam

56. Other than these three options, there is no water body nearby the Karera town to consider as a water source for proposed Water Supply Scheme of town. Ground water level in Karera is very low to supply the water in Town. Water quantity in Dumghana dam not sufficient to supply the water in Karera town for design year 2048. Samoha dam is found adequate source for Karera Water Supply Scheme due to its adequacy in terms of quality as well quantity. After water analysis of Samoha Dam, it is found that all the parameter is beyond the drinking water standard. Samoha Dam is situated in Shivpuri District in Samoha town. Samoha Dam is major irrigation project and serves as a lifeline to the nearby area. It is 13.2 Km from the Town. This is well within the reachable stretch of the town.

57. As per DPR, source of water for subproject water supply town Karera was proposed on western bank of Samoha dam located at Jhanda village. Later on, it was come under notice that proposed location of intake as well as alignment of raw water rising main comes under ecological sensitive area known as Karera Wildlife Sanctuary or Son Chiraiya Bird Sanctuary, Karera which is about 14 Kms. away from subproject town and secondly proposed alignment passes through private land too. Taking into consideration, a joint visit of DBO Contractor, PMU-Gwalior along with PMC was scheduled on 24th January 2018 to resolve this issue and new location has been identified and recommended unanimously by joint team.

58. Team has visited three different places to finalize the location of Intake well cum pump house namely i) Northern Side of Village Khera Modi: this site was found not suitable as impounding water is quite away from the stream and water is shrinking about 250 metre away from intake location during summer as also confirmed by local people, apart from that silting and desilting will cause another obstacle. And secondly it may require acquisition of private land to reach at intake well. ii) At Samoha dam: this site was technically suitable as enough water is available throughout the year but raw water raising main will pass through village Samoha. This village is located on the road and the road passes through the centre of village. A significant number of residential structures reported on both side of road, it is about 1.5 to 2 kms in length and congested too under village Samoha. Proposed raw water rising main will traverse through this road only. Therefore, proposed alignment is socially not acceptable due to its negative impact on road side structure and there might be chance to puncture the water pipeline. Apart from that this location is about 30 kms. away from subproject town. iii) Eastern Bank of Samoha Dam at Village Khera Modi: Another new location as water source is identified on the eastern bank of Samoha dam which is located near a very small hamlet namely Khera Modi under Panchayat Machhawali. This new proposed site is about 13 - 14 Kms away from subproject town. Enough government land is available on the bank of Samoha dam (Mahubar river) which is required for proposed Intake well cum pump house and secondly no involuntary resettlement impact (both permanent and temporary) is envisaged. Among these three new locations as mentioned, joint team has unanimously recommended water source namely “eastern bank of Samoha Dam across Mahuwar River at village Khaira Modi” as per preliminary examine shows that newly recommended source is found socially & environment and technically acceptable. Refer Fig-2- Showing Site Photograph of Recommended & Proposed New Location of Intake Well on Eastern Bank of Samoha Dam. As per villagers, enough water is available throughout the year at proposed site of Intake well and enough government land is also available without any encroachment. This proposed location does not come under Son Chiraiya Bird Sanctuary, Karera. However as per mapping on google earth mapas per available coordinates, new recommended location comes undr Eco-Sensitive Zone of Karera Sanctuary, which is about a distance of 500 m away from the boundary of Karera Bird Sanctuary. No Flora and Fauna has been reported in and around the proposed site. Also no environment impact observed at site.

59. Dam Water Sustainability and Environmental Considerations: The gross storage capacity of Samoha dam is 19.552MCM and Live storage capacity is 18.533 MCM, while the water requirement for the project is 8.30 MLD or 3.03 MCM per year, which is about 16.35%, which is adequate to meet the project yearly demand of the design year. Since Annual average recoupment of water in the tank every year is around 18.533 MCM. While the recoupment of water during rainy season is 19.552 MCM which is 6 times more than the annual water demand of Karera town. It is evident that the dam is full to its crest level at the end of monsoon season (September), which gradually reduced to its minimum in summer and up to the arrival of monsoon flows in June-July.Therefore, the abstraction of 16.35% of gross storage may not anyway effect the irrigation. Permission of WRD already obtained for Karera town which is appended as Appendix 24. So, there will not be any negative impact on Samoha dam due to water abstraction for water supply in Karera as the selected water source is sustainable in terms of quantity. But there will be some negative impact on water quality during the construction of intake well but the impact will be local and temporary.

2. Pichhore: There is there possible water source for Pichhore town • Extracting Ground Water • Futiwar Dam • Nagda Dam 60. Other than these three options, there is no water body nearby the Pichhore town to consider as a water source for proposed Water Supply Scheme of town. Futiwar Dam is selected as adequate source for supplying water in Pichhore town.

61. Ground water level in Pichhore is very low to supply the water in Town. Utavali river is generally dry in summer season, so found not adequate to as water source. At Futiwar Dam, jack well is already constructed to supply the water to Pichhore. So, it is found economic to use the already constructed jack at Futiwar dam.

62. Water Source Sustainability & Environmental Considerations: Subproject town Pichhore do not include development of any new water source or augmentation of the existing source. As per the project design, the existing Futiwar Dam source will be continued as a source for subproject town. Futiwar Dam is constructed across local River having catchment area of 6.37 sq. km and is for drinking and irrigation purpose. Futiwar dam is owned by the WRD.

63. The gross storage capacity of Futiwar dam is 9.24 MCM and Live storage capacity is 4.95 MCM, while the water requirement for the project is 2.90 MLD or 1.06 MCM per year, which is about 21.41%, which is adequate to meet the project yearly demand of the design year. Since annual average recoupment of water in the tank every year is around 4.95 MCM. While the recoupment of water during rainy season is 9.24 MCM which is 4.67/8.72 times more than the annual water demand of Pichhore town. It is evident that the dam is full to its crest level at the end of monsoon season (September), which gradually reduced to its minimum in summer and up to the arrival of monsoon flows in June-July.Therefore, the abstraction of 21.41% of live storage may not anyway effect the irrigation and adequate water is available for irrigation. Permission of WRD already obtained for Pichhore town WSS, which is appended as Appendix 24. There will not be any negative impact on Futiwar dam as no construction work at dam.

3. Aron: There are two possible water sources for Aron town • Underground water source • Sindh River by constructing weir 64. Presently only 0.95 MLD of water is being supplied through ground sources like 2 nos of tube wells, 5 nos of Hand Pumps & 2 nos of open well. These entire sources are giving very less yield. Based on the available data the present tube wells may supply water to the town at the tune of maximum 0.95 MLD. So, underground water to supply the water in Aron for design period. Since Aron town is currently depending on the groundwater, the continuation of same source with augmented supply was examined. As per the Central Ground Water Board (CGWB), groundwater utilization in Aron town is about 36% (of total utilizable resources), and the usage has been increasing rapidly in the recent past. Drying up of existing tube wells, in the summer months is a common feature in Aron. Groundwater therefore is not considered a sustainable source for meeting total projected demand.

65. Sindh River: Besides the existing groundwater source, Sindh River, flow at about 9 km from town, is another potential source of water for Aron. It is situated in Guna Disrtict.Sindh River is a Major river in the Guna District. The River proved to be a major watersource in the past years. Now the river Sindh is not the perennial river. The flow in the river reduced in the month of the November to December and gets dry after January. Rivers almost run dry during the months of February and up to the arrival of monsoon. Sindh River originates in Vidisha District. Total catchments area of the river in Madhya Pradesh is 26699 km² and total length is 470 km. A length of 461 km of the river falls in Madhya Pradesh and 9 km in Uttar Pradesh. Major tributaries of Sindh are Mahuar, Parbati, Pahuj, and Kunwari etc.

66. Requirement of Weir: There are no flow gauging stations in and around 10 km of Sindh river, and therefore no flow records available. After PMC visit of weir location at river sindh, during summer, discussion with the WRD and municipal staff managing water supply, and the local people, indicate that Sindh River is seasonal, and flow for about 6-7 months a year, with very high flows during monsoon. Rivers almost run dry during the months of February – July, and up to the arrival of monsoon. Due to this, as the flow started to reduce from February, and up to the next monsoon season, raw water storage is required to meet the demand of this lean flow season. Hence it is proposed to create a storage in the Sindh river by constructing a small stop dam across the river. Water requirement for the project is 4.10 MLD or 1.50MCM per year, so the period for storage has been taken from February to July i.e. Six Month (180) days, and the storage requirement is estimated as 0.75 MCM.

Requirement of water for 365 days i.e. = 365 * 4.10 MLD 1st January to 31st December (12 months) = 1496 MLD = 1.50 MCM

Requirement of water for 180 days i.e. (06 months) = 1.50/2 = 0.75 MCM 67. For the construction of weir on Sindh River, Barod site near Barod village has been selected considering the distance and also the valley in the Sindh River is quite sufficient for construction of weir and to store the water. Barod village is located in Guna district around 9 Km away from Aron town. At Barod site, Bud River and One Nalla is confluence with Sindh River, getting total fetch (water storage) length is approximately 7.00 Km (3.62 Km of Sindh River, 3.32 Km of Bud River & Nalla). For the selected location of weir, the water catchment area is coming100.22 Sq. Km. and it is marked in Toposheet. The proposed length of weir is 50 m and height is 5 m. 68. Source Water Sustainability and Environmental Considerations: Although the Sindh River is non-perennial and two Streams/Nala i.e. Bud River and one Nala are separate and all are inter connected and main tributary of river Sindh in addition, Sindh River has its separate catchment. Catchment area of Sindh River at village Barod is 100.22 sq km and it is marked on Topo Sheet. (Refer Catchment Area Map & River Network map annxed as Fig - 32 to Fig - 34). With an average of 723.50 mm annual rainfall (75% dependable rainfall), the above catchment can generate significant quantities of runoff every year. The flow is considerable during the monsoon and post monsoon period of June-December/January, and therefore will be able to meet the demand. As the flow started to reduce from November to December and gets dry after January and up to the next monsoon season, raw water storage is required to meet the demand of this lean flow/no flow period. So, it is proposed to construct a weir across River Sindh, on the downstream side of the proposed intake to create a river ponding structure. Even though the river is shallow in many places but the site selected for the proposed weir have deep valley as well as have sufficient cross section to store the water. It is also considered that the dam height should be as low as possible so that the submergence is limited to the river course, and it is found that there shall be no any submergence when the height of weir (stop dam) is kept at 5 m at proposed site on River Sindh. On the basis of area basin survey, it is estimated that this dam will have a storage capacity of 1.26 MCM, which can meet 168% of the above lean period demand, and will be sufficient for about 180 days only. Refer Table –12, given below–Required storage capacity of weir for 06 months of water demand. (For Detailed Hydraulic Design & drawing/maps of Weir Refer Appendix -21)

Accordingly, IEE and EMP will be further modified and finalized. As the work has been awarded and contractor has been mobilized, but design & drawings/maps for weir height and capacity is awaited from contractor side. Yet to be submitted.

70. Impacts due to Weir on downstream users and ecosystem: As discussed above the river flow has very high seasonal variation, with significant flows in monsoon – post monsoon to very low flows in summer. The flow in the river reduced in the month of the Nov. to December and gets dry after January up to the next monsoon season. The proposed dam to store the water requirement for the low-flow period of six months is a small stop dam, height (5m from the bed level of the river) of which is lower than the river banks and much below the HFL of the River. The total storage capacity of weir is 1.26 MCM. The height of the dam (5m) to store required water is fixed in such way that top level of structure is well below the High Flood Level of the river as the HFL of the river is 6m from the bed level of river. The banks of the river are much above the H.F.L. of river, as the height of river bank is about 10 m from the bed level of the river (See photographs of River Sindh appended as Fig – 38) and as per contour survey of river Sindh, and map of submergence area, submergence is confined to river course itself. Submergence/storage will be confined to river course itself. (Refer Contour Map & Map of submergence area as the contour map is superimposed on google map of River Sindh annexed as Fig –36 & Fig-37), hence there will not be submergence on the upstream. Dam will be a vented concrete structure, with solid concrete foundation up to sill level, i.e. slightly (~0.1 m) above the river bed level, and above which it will have rectangular open vents with slots to place removable gates up to the required design height; gates will be placed prior to end of high monsoon flows, and will be removed after the onset next monsoon flows as shown in drawings annexed as Fig – 10 to Fig-12. This type of structure allows heavy monsoon flow freely without any obstruction, and also avoids dam silting. This structure impounds water during low or no flow period, and during heavy river flow, gates will be removed. Given very small storage, dam will be filled at the first monsoon flow itself, and will continue to be full throughout the year, and the water coming from the upstream will overflow freely, and flow downstream without any hindrance. Therefore, the change in flow regime due to this small dam will be negligible.

71. There is no notable, protected or unique aquatic life in the river, and the fish is limited to local varieties (such as Dingra, Roh, Paril, and Loch and water snakes). There is no commercial fishing taking place in this stretch of the river. There are also no notable water abstraction points or users in the downstream of the dam. Two natural streams joins Sindh River within 1 to 2 KM in upstream from the proposed dam location. Out of two, one stream join from left side (i.e. B-C – Bud River) and other streams joins Sindh River from right side (i.e. D-F – Nalla) with respect to direction of flow of the river. All these streams are the natural drains that carry the runoff generated by the rainfall in this area. There is no such industry or town situated in this patch of river, only few agriculture fields are found. As there will be notable change in the river flow regime, no impacts envisaged on downstream users or river ecosystem. The proposed impoundment, in fact, is likely to benefit the environment through groundwater recharge and propagating aquatic life.

72. Sindh River Water Quality & Pollution Sources: Sampling has been done at the intake location for testing of water quality of source (Refer Table 16, below). The results are compared with the drinking water standards. Owing to presence of coliform (in the range of 46 to 49 nos against Nil), the surface water needs to be treated before supplying to the public. There are no notable pollution sources in the upstream of proposed dam. There are two natural streams join Sindh River with in the 1-2 km in upstream from the proposed intake location. All these two streams join Sindh River from left and right side with respect to direction of flow of the river. All these streams are naturally formed and flow with runoff form surrounding areas in the rainy season only. The water quality of these streams is quite good as there in no habitation nearby these streams. Besides, in this five kilometers stretch of river, neither tributary nor industry is found. Current water quality is suitable for drinking water after conventional treatment and disinfection, and as there are no notable pollution sources in the upstream near the intake, there is no likely risk of source contamination. However, there is a need to check on future development to avoid contamination of source.

4. Bairad Town: The following water sources are identified for water supply scheme for Bairad town. • Pachipura Dam • Bairad Talab 73. Bairad Talab is located at 1.5 km north of the Bairad town. It can also be one of the prominent source of water supply for Bairad Nagar Parishad. According to municipal officials, water availability is limited in Bairad Talab especially during summer season. Hence on priority and long term basis, therefore Bairad Talab is not considered a sustainable source for meeting total projected demand.

74. Pachipura Dam Water Sustainability and Environmental Considerations: Pachipura Dam is located at south direction of Bairad town. It is located at distance of 5 km from the town. Dam is constructed across Paar River having catchment area of 89.75 sq. km and is for drinking and irrigation purpose. Dam is owned by the WRD. The gross storage capacity of Pachipura dam is 10.47 MCM and Live storage capacity is 8.32 MCM, while the water requirement for the project is 2.91 MLD or 1.06 MCM per year, which is about 12.75%, which is adequate to meet the project yearly demand of the design year. Since live storage capacity is 7.85 times more than the annual water demand of Karera town. Therefore, the abstraction of 12.75% of live storage capacity may not anyway effect the irrigation. Permission of WRD already obtained for Bairad town which is appended as Appendix 24.

75. The following are the salient features of Pachipura Dam given in Table 13, below.

76. Water Quality of Pachipura Dam: The catchment area is mostly characterized by agricultural and barren lands, and forest areas. There are no polluting sources like industries or mining in the catchment areas. Habitations are limited to small villages, there is no major city located in the catchment. Conventional water treatment and disinfection which is proposed in the project is adequate to make the water usable for drinking purposes. A regular water quality regime needs to be established for checking the raw water quality. The water supplied to the consumers at all-time must meet the drinking water standards (Appendix 5). Water quality testing has been done at the proposed intake location in Pachipura Dam. The results are compared with the drinking water standards. The water needs to be treated before supplying to the public. For Water Quality Results Refer Table 16, given below.

5. Water source and source Sustainability- Vijaypur

77. Source Identification: Kunwari River is a river and surface water body passing through the Vijaypur town. On up stream of Vijaypur town, Water Resource Department (WRD) has been constructed a stop dam / river ponding structure for storage of water and it is completed. Earlier days during 1974s also Kunwari River was used as water supply source to town and built WTP due to lack of proper maintenance the scheme was discontinued. The same is proposed as source of water supply. Discussions were held with water resources department officials at Sheopur about the source of water supply scheme to the town. Officials informed and confirmed that a stop dam for storage of water so the same can be used as source of water and this proposal is accepted by officials.

78. Kunwari River: It flows through Sheopur Morena and Bhind districts of Madhya Pradesh in central India. The start or origin place of the river is located at Devpura village Sheopur.Kunwari is a tributary of Sindh River and joins it in Etawah District. Sindh River joins Yamuna River further down the stream at pachnada. The river flow is not fast. Towns like Bijeypur of Sheopur district and Kailaras of Morena district are located along its bank.The River Sindh is originated in Malwa Plateau in Vidisha District of MP joins Yamuna River in Etawah District of UP. The river flows for a length of 470km, having catch ment of 26,699 Sqkm. River Flow: Discussion with the WRD and municipal staff managing water supply, and the local people, indicate that Kunwari River is with very high seasonable flow variations and flow ceases during summer season, passes through Vijaypur. The river flow is not fast. A river gauging station is located on this river at Budhara village, downstream of the proposed intake location. Observed Daily Discharge Data for Kunwari River was collected from WRD, Government of Madhya Pradesh for last 5 years from year 2011-12 to 2015-16 and analyzed. The summary is given below. Raw data received from WRD is attached as Appendix 23.

Table 14: Analysis of River Flow Data - Kunwari Flow (cumecs) June June 2012- June 2013- June 2014- June 2015- 2011-May May 2013 May 2014 May 2015 Dec 2015 2012

Minimum 0.76 3.19 1.11 1.98 0.63

Maximum 56.71 686.74 327.37 40.54 90.65

Ultimate demand of 2.65 the town (ML) Ultimate demand in 0.033(cumec) considering 22 hour pumping Source: Data from WRD, Government of Madhya Pradesh.

79. Finalization of Source: After discussion with Executive Engineers, Water Resources Department and it is observed that minimum flow in Kunwari River in last 5 years is 0.054MCM per day and the water required for Vijaypur town is 0.88MCM (2.41 MLD) for ultimate year 2048. Hence the Kunwari River is a sustainable water source for the proposed water supply scheme.

80. Location of Proposed Intake Well, Source Sustainability and Environmental Considerations: Water Resource Department has already constructed a river ponding structure at Vijaypur for water storage agricultural purposed having catchment area of 745 Sq.km.After discussion with WRD officials about the proposal of water supply scheme for Vijaypur and construction of Intake well at Kunwari River on upstream of the river ponding structure(having 4.0 m height and length 155 m recently constructed by WRD) for the ultimate year water demand to draw raw water from from the same and also Request for allotment of water for the proposed scheme was sent by Vijaypur ULB alongwith water allotment application form to WRD for their approval. NOC from WRD for abstraction of water and construction of intake well already obtaind which is appended as Appendix 24.

81. The live storage capacity of existing weir which is recently constructed by WRD is 0.93MCM, while the water requirement for the project is 2.41 MLD or 0.88MCM per year, which is about 94.62%. which is adequate is adequate to meet the project yearly demand of the design year and also from the river Discharge Gauge data analysis it is observed that the flow variation in the river is significant over the seasons. As presented in the above Table 14, in the last five years, the highest flow recorded was 687 cumecs (29th Aug 2012) while the lowest was 0.63 cumecs (On Sept 27th 2015). Considering minimum flow is higher than the ultimate requirement (0.033 cumecs with 22 hour pumping) of Vijaypur, Kunwai River is adopted as source of water for Vijaypur water supply scheme.

82. Impacts on Downstream Users and Ecosystem: There is one dam ‘Barda Dam’ (at a distance of 10 km) on upstream of the proposed stop dam. River Bansral meet at a distance of approx. 5 km on upstream of the proposed stop dam. There are no notable downstream uses on the river as the river flows down and joins the River Sindh River, which again carries considerable flow, therefore impact of flow reduction will be negligible. The quantity of water abstraction from the river is insignificant compared to the availability of water. There is no notable, protected or unique aquatic life in the river, and the fish is limited to local species of fishes and aquatic plants. There is no commercial fishing taking place in this stretch of the river. Notable water abstraction points or users are not there in the downstream of existing dam. No natural stream/drain join Kunwari River within 5 km downstream/upstream stretch from the existing dam location. There is no industry or town (except villages Dulhawala, Barkheda, Aroda on bank of river on upstream side & Sunwai village on d/s side) situated in this stretch of river, some agricultural fields are found on both sides of the river. On left bank side of river. Open scrub is found both on u/s & d/s. While on right side, protected forest is there at a distance of approx. 6 km on downstream side. As there will not be any notable change in the river flow regime, Therefore, no impacts are envisaged on downstream users or river ecosystem or aquatic life.

83. Source water quality (Kunwari River) & pollution sources. Three days of sampling has been done at the intake location (Near old pump house) for testing of water quality of source. The results are compared with the drinking water standards. Owing to presence of coliform (in the range of 21 to 25 nos against Nil), the surface water needs to be treated before supplying to the public. The habitation on banks of river on u/s side might be the reason for presence of coliform & E-coli. Open scrub is found on left hand side of the river on upstream side. There are no notable pollution sources in the upstream of proposed dam. In site visit it is observed that no natural streams join Kunwari River on upstream & downstream side within the 5 km stretch from the proposed stop dam/ intake location. Besides, in this five kilometers stretch of river, neither any Nala nor Industry is found. It was observed that Gota protected forest is there approximately at a distance of 6 km on right side of the river (downstream side) & Open scrub is found on left side (both on u/s & d/s) of proposed stop dam. Currently water quality is suitable for drinking purpose after conventional treatment and disinfection, as there are no notable pollution sources in the upstream near the intake, there is no likely risk of source contamination. However, there is a need to check on future development to avoid contamination of source.

84. Surface Water Quality of Sources for Karera, Pichhore, Aron, Bairad & Vijupur Towns WSS Subprojects: The catchment areas of all the towns are mostly characterized by agricultural and barren lands. There are no polluting sources like industries or mining in the catchment areas. Habitations are limited to small villages, there is no major town located in the catchment. Water quality test report of Samoha Dam, Futiwar Dam and Pachipura Dam, Sindh River and Kunwari River are appended in Table 16 & Appendix 18. All the parameters of water quality in comparison with drinking water standards are well within the limits, hence Convention water treatment and disinfection, which is proposed in the project, is adequate to make the water usable for drinking purposes.

6. Isagarh Town: Water source and source Sustainability

85. Selection of Water Source: To meet future requirements of water, the investigation works for surface source for the town is carried out by DPR Consultant with their field technical staff jointly with ULB local leaders and sub engineer on dated 28-11-2015.On local as well as through Google map inquiry It is come to know that there is neither perennial or non perennial river flowing within the vicinity of 30 km around this Town and hence there is no possibility of getting surface source from any river on technoechonomical basis and aspect. On further investigation it is found that there is a big lake adjoining to the town namely SING SAGAR UPPER LAKE as a surface source but it can not be adopted as a source for drinking purpose as it is a big lake to be conserved by the government. This lake is very blessing for recharging and improving the ground water condition. The area of this lake is about 53.40 hectare.

86. Taking into consideration that there is no dependable surface water source in the proximity of the town, it is proposed to continue the groundwater source for Isagarh water supply by utilizing existing Tube Wells which are seems to be very promising source.

87. Proposed Project Components: It is proposed to develop a groundwater based water supply system consists of abstraction of groundwater from 16 tube wells existing and pumping into sumps, disinfection with chlorine, pumping to overhead tanks, and distribution from OHTs

88. For finalizing source issue Geohydrologiest has been appointed by design consultant and after his thorough investigation and on receipt of final opinion, itis finally concluded only after Geological report for utilizing the underground source confirming with its reliability and sustainability for the Town. Ground water yield analysis is given in Table 17, below. Also Refer Appendix 19 for yield test report & existing tube wells details;

89. Groundwater Study Methodology: As per CGWB report 2013; study was conducted at two stages: one, to identify areas of interest (or target areas) in the study area, and two, to conduct detailed exploration of target areas. Groundwater behavior in the region is quite erratic and the distribution of groundwater resources is not uniform. Moreover, the areas of high groundwater potential are highly localized. Such areas are isolated on the basis of remote sensing studies and were subject to further detailed exploration by surface geophysical methods.

90. Ashok Nagar District is characterized by variety of geological formations representing vast period of geological time. Predominant Geological Formations are Bundelkhand Granite, Vindhyan Sandstone & Shale and Deccan Trap is also encountered in the area. The hydrogeological map of the district is presented in figure 39. The hydrogeological properties of different formations are discussed hereunder

91. Hydrogeology of the study area comprises the whole area is covered by Alluvium Deccan Trap I.e. Basalt rock. From surface to 10 m to 20 m depth weathered rock found and there may be possibility of water. After that solid basalt rock may found up to 45 m depth and there is no possibility of water. Between 45 m to 55 m depth intertrappean i.e. loose formation found that may be collapsible so use over there casing for protection of bore. After that solid basalt rock is found between 100 m to 120 m depth fractured rock may be found, there may be possibility of water. The upper kaimur formation sandstone and quartzite.

92. Alluvium: Alluvium of Quaternary age occurs as a narrow belt along the major rivers like Sindh, Betwa, Kethan & Orr. It comprises pebble beds, gravel, silt & sand. In the area occupied by alluvium, the ground water occurs under water table condition. The granular portion of this formation such as sand & gravel forms good aquifers, but the thickness is shallow. The yield of the wells in this formation ranges from 2 to 7 lps. The principle aquifers in the area are constituted by Vesicular Basalts and fractured zones in Basalts and inferred Sedimentary at a depth and beyond, with varying thickness of 5 m onwards. 93. Deccan Trap: Deccan trap basalts of Malwa Group of Cretaceous to Paleozoic age occupy major part of the district. Intertrappean of lacustrine or fluviatile origin occur in the top part of each lava flow. Deccan trap consists of number of basaltic lava flows.

94. Water bearing capacities in Deccan trap formation differ from flow to flow. weathered basaltic layer is extensive, a continues aquifer can be traced to some distance, however due to low permeability of the weathered basalt the aquifer sustains limited ground water withdrawal. The groundwater at deeper levels occurs under semi confined to confined conditions in vesicular, jointed & fractured basalts. Unit draft of the wells varies from 0.001 to 0.008 m cm/year for dug wells & 0.005 – 0.017 m cm/yr

95. Vindhyan Formation: The Sandstone intercalated with Shale beds are exposed in the northeastern parts of the district (Isagarh Block). The rocks are hard & compact, but at places and at different depth it is fractured & jointed and forming potential aquifer at deeper levels. The ground water occurs under semi confined to confined conditions and are being exploited through bore wells. The yield of these bore wells is fairly good ranging between 1.0 to 4.9 lps. The depth to water level during pre monsoon period ranges from 3.70 to 22.10 m.bgl. with seasonal fluctuation of 0.07 to 9.98 m

96. Archeans: The Archeans rocks are represented by the Bundelkhand Granites in the district and occurring in northeastern portion of the Chanderi block. The intensity of the weathering is varying from place to place. The intensity of the weathering is high and formation of the deep residum or mantle overlying the hard granite in the low lying, intermountain & depressions. The weathered mantle of the granite forms sometimes-good aquifers at a shallow depth, where ground water occurs under water table condition. The yield of this formation ranges from less than one to 3 lps.

97. Under the Ground Water Exploration Programme CGWB has constructed the exploratory wells & observation wells of 96 to 201.30 m deep. The depth to water levels in these wells varies from 8.25 to 51.40 mbgl and discharge of the wells ranges from 0.5 to 11.5 lps with a drawdown of 28.00m. Figure 39: Hydrology, Isagarh Block under District Ashok Nagar (M.P.)

98. As per the CGWB Northern Central Region, Bhopal 2013 report it is reveal the Isagarh of Ashoknagar district is falls under Vindhyan Formation observed. Pre monsoon water level (May 2012) ranging from 12 to 16 mbgl and Post monsoon (Nov. 2012) ranging from 5 to 10 mtbgl as shown in Fig- 40 & Fig- 41. Long term water level trend in 10 years from 2003 to 2012; Rise is 0.01 to 0.05 m/year andFall - 0.01 to 0.14 m/year. Normal rain fall is 927.1 mm. Maximum rainfall received from June to Sept it is about 91.50 % of the annual rainfall. While 8.5 % received from Oct to May. The surplus water for ground water recharging is available during June to Sept. In this region expected yield of Tube wells is 1.0 to 4.90 lps.

99. Ground Water Resource for Isagarh: Block wise Groundwater Resources has been calculated for the base year 2011 on the basis of GEC’97. Over all ground water development of the Isagarh block is 43% and the Isagarh block fall in safe category of ground water development, in which the project town Isagrah is situated.Net Ground water availability is 103.01 MCM.Existing ground water draft for all uses is 43.99 MCM and allocation for the domestic and industrial use upto year ‘2033 are 6.07 MCM respectively. The Ground Water Resource for Isagarh block is given in Table-18, below.

100. Groundwater Sustainability. As per CGWB report 2013, the net groundwater availability is 103.01 MCM and provision for domestic, and industrial requirement supply to next 25 years (2033) is 6.07 MCM, while the water requirement for the project upto design period is 1.68 MLD or 0.61 MCM per year, which is about 10.05%, which is adequate to meet the project yearly demand of the design year. Since provision for domestic and industrial use is 9.95 times more than the annual water demand of Isagarh town. Ground water is potable and sufficient to fulfill the demand of town upto year 2048, because natural recharging is available by means of lake namely “Sing Sagar Upper Lake” adjacent to the town. The area of this lake is about 53.40 hectare. This lake is very blessing for recharging and improving the ground water condition. Hence existing tube wells proposed as water source for water supply project up to year 2048.In the proposed project existing tube wells are sufficient for year 2048, hence on construction of tube well no any expenditure proposed.

101. Overexploitation of groundwater resources i.e. abstracting more than the net annual ground water available in the area will lead to several environmental and economic issues. Abstracting water from static water resources may lead to contamination due to geo-hydro chemical processes, and may also lead to land subsidence. Tube wells will dry up quickly, with falling water table pumping costs will go up, and the effect on competing uses can cause social conflicts.

102. Given that there is no reliable surface water source in the proximity of the town, even though groundwater development in the project area is already in safe stage as per the groundwater development, it is proposed to continue the groundwater as source of water supply. The present groundwater development is at 43%, and the groundwater is the only source of water in the region for agricultural and domestic purposes. CGWB cautions use of groundwater resource over 90% of net available resources, and recommends linking water abstraction in these areas to water conservation measures like augmenting groundwater recharge through artificial measures.

103. The location of tube wells are identified through a scientific groundwater study, and therefore it is most likely that the yield will be as estimated by the study. The groundwater yield will however depend solely on the annual rainfall. Given the climate change effects, the rainfall is becoming more erratic and unpredictable, combined with increasing frequency of extreme weather events. The project should therefore account for these.

104. The groundwater study recommends a further detailed study to look into groundwater sustainability and to suggest various measures as detailed above in the para. Implementation of these measures is crucial for sustainability of this water supply project and therefore should be integrated into the project implementation.

105. Besides the above, the following measures are suggested for consideration during the detailed study and implementation appropriately:

• Creation of artificial recharge pits in public places / public buildings. Local body can issue a notification to this effect. • Household level artificial recharge (like roof top rainwater harvesting) should be encouraged. • Groundwater regulation – all the tube wells in houses in Isagarh to be discontinued in a phased manner once the project is implemented.

106. Groundwater quality. The pH values of water samples varied in between 6.8 to 7.33 hence proved alkaline in nature and were within permissible limit. All the values are within the permissible limit (Refer Table 19, below). The existing groundwater shows the presence of (i) nitrates at a concentration nearing the prescribed limit (1.0 – 1.4 mgh/l while the prescribed limit is at 45 mg/l), and (ii) bacteriological contamination. Nitrate pollution can be attributed to sewage disposal including human excreta, animal wastes and runoff from agricultural areas. Bacteriological contamination can be directly linked to indiscriminate sewage disposal and the leaching of leachates from latrine pits, open defecation etc. Detailed study proposed in the above paragraph also includes a source protection plan. Measures as suggested by the study should be included in the project. Besides, the groundwater study also recommends the following measures for construction of tube wells, which needs to be included in the project design: • The annular space between the casing pipe and the wall of the bore well must be sealed with cement slurry in order to prevent groundwater contamination • A 1m x 1m x 1m concrete block is to be constructed around the exposed casing pipe above the surface. The block will be 50 cm above the ground and 50 cm below the ground to holdfast the casing pipe. • The top of the casing pipe should be at least 90 cm above the ground or above the reported HFL of the site, whichever is higher. • Suitable measures to be taken to prevent contamination of source since the water quality may be impacted by untreated sewage flowing nearby; suitable provisions should be made for lining of drains and prevention and chocking / overflow / lateral and vertical seepage. • In addition to the above, measures should be taken to control the open defecation, and to close all unsafe latrines (for example pit latrines). • Awareness programs shall be conducted regarding the sanitation practices and its effect on groundwater quality

107. Use of Chlorine as disinfectant. It is proposed to use chlorine at WTP to disinfect the water prior to supply to consumers. There is invariably a safety risk when chlorine is handled. Although facilities are not located close to habitations, safety precautions are necessary to ensure the safety of workers and citizens. To avoid any risk, the chlorination facility will be provided with the following: • Chlorine neutralization pit with a lime slurry feeder • Proper ventilation, lighting, entry and exit facilities • Facility for isolation in the event of major chlorine leakage • Personal protection and safety equipment for the operators in the chlorine plant • Provide training to the staff in safe handling and application of chlorine; this shall be included in the contract of Chlorinator supplier • Supplier of Chlorinator equipment shall provide standard operating manual for safe operation and as well as maintenance and repairs; preferably these shall be provided both in English and Hindi Languages

108. Sensitive Project Locations– For Bairad and Vijaypur towns; Kuno Wildlife Sanctury which is also known as Palpur - Kuno Wildlife Sanctuary is situated at a distance of 10 km from Bairad and 24 km from vijaypur town. None of the proposed subproject components are located within the boundary of Kuno wildlife sanctuary nor in its ecosensitive zone. Refer Google Map of Kuno wildlife sanctuary and subproject towns; showing the boundaries of both clearly alongwith location of main components i.e. Source/intake, WTP & OHTs etc. which is appended as Fig – 29

109. For Karera Town - There is one ecological sensitive area known as Karera Wildlife Sanctuary of “Son Chiraiyya Bird Sanctuary”. It is approx. 14 km away from the Karera town. The boundary of Karera Wildlife Sanctuary is about a distance of 500 m away from the boundary of Karera municipal areas. All the proposed subproject components like intake, WTP, OHTs, RWRM, CWRM & distribution networks are within the boundary of Eco-Sensitive Zone (ESZ) of Karera wildlife sanctuary as shown on Google Map (as per coordinate given MOEFCC Notification 15th September 2017) of Karera wildlife sanctuary and subproject town Karera; showing the boundaries of both clearly along with location of main components i.e. Source/intake, WTP & OHTs etc. which is appended as Fig – 24. All the components like Intake, WTP & OHT are located about 500 m – 2 km away from the boundary of Karera wildlife sanctuary. Intake well is located around 13.2 km away from Karera town. Intake well is about 500 m away from boundary of Karera bird’s sanctuary and comes under Eco-Sensitive zone (ESZ). Commercial Extraction of surface water within Eco Sensitive Zone is regulated under applicable Law (Refer Table 3, S. No. 27). Also NoC from WRD for abstraction of water from Samoha dam and construction of intake already obtained (Refer Appendix 24). The raw water rising main, connecting intake and WTP, will be partly outside and partly within the town, which will be laid partly within the ecosensitive zone boundary and partly away from the ESZ boundary of sanctuary. Raw water & clear water rising main will be laid underground from the intake well intake to WTP and from WTP to OHTs site along an existing road within ROW. WTP, OHTs and clear water rising main is located within the municipal limits of Karera Nagar Parishad, but it is within the boundary of ESZ of Karera sanctuary, WTP is about 500 and OHTs are about 1km to 2km away from the boundary of Karera wildlife sanctuary, where there are no sensitive environmental features. Construction activities within the Eco-Sensitive Zone is permitted as per building byelaws to meet the residential needs of the local residents such as construction and renovation of infrastructure including civic aminities (Refer Table 3, S. No. 14 & S. No. 20 & Refer Appendix 18, Para 4, S. No. 14 & s. No. 20- MOEFCC Notification, New Delhi 15th Sep 2017). However, it will be done with mitigation measures, as per applicable laws, rules and regulation and available guidelines. Precaution must be taken care to minimize the noise during construction work to avoid any negative impact on bird sanctuary. The impact will be only for limited time during construction work.

110. Also consultation conducted with forest official on dated 10.05.2018 at Office of Chief Conservator of Forest & Director, Madhav National Park, Shivpuri as Its management and control is under Field Director of Madhav National Park (Refer Appendix 7 & Appendix 10). Detailed discussions held and briefed about proposed components under water supply scheme for Karera town within eco-sensitive zone and its impact on Karera bird Sanctuary. They told that they have no objection as this project is to meet the daily residential needs of the local residents by providing with a constant supply of better quality water as the subproject will improve the overall environmental quality of the town and surrounding areas.

111. Karera Wildlife sanctuary today has not a single bird species. Owing to villagers/public pressure and the extinction of the bird locally, the National Board for Wildlife and the Government of Madhya Pradesh have decided to denotify the sanctuary and is seeking the Centre's approval. The decision is now awaiting a final approval from the Supreme Court of India and should it come through, the sanctuary will become the country's first such reserve to lose its official recognition.

112. As per Minutes of the 18th Meeting of the Standing Committee of National Board for Wildlife (NBWL) held on 12th April, 2010 in 403, Paryavaran Bhavan, CGO Complex, Lodi Road, New Delhi-110003, With respect to, Karera Wildlife Sanctuary, Madhya Pradesh, the Member Secretary informed that Shri. Mahendra Vyas, Member of Rationalization Committee had inspected the site and submitted his report. In his report he had recommended for denotification of the sanctuary subject to the condition that the Government should find out the cause of disappearance of the Great Indian Bustard. The Chief Wildlife Warden, Madhya Pradesh, informed that the bustards were not seen since 1995 and that most of the land inside the sanctuary was private land and people were facing lot of problems. After detailed discussions, the committee agreed to the proposal for denotification of Karera Wildlife Sanctuary, subject to following conditions. (For Details of MOM of NBWL Refer Appendix 25).

113. Since the proposed subprojects components such as Intake, RWRM, WTP, CWRM, OHTs and Distribution Lines works will be limited to actual construction area and the access roads, but appropriate steps should be taken according to the nature of the risk. This should involve: • No construction material storage/ancillary works shall be conducted in the forest area; this shall be limited to actual construction area and the access roads • No labour camps shall be located near forests (maintain minimum 1km buffer) • Limit the work to daylight hours only; no work after sunset • No workers /personnel shall enter forest areas; it is the DBOC responsibility to take necessary precautions & prevent workers removing/damaging trees/vegetation, hunting animals • Create awareness among workers on environment & safety • No high noisy works shall be conducted • Barricade the construction area properly so that no wild animals entre the work area.

114. Utilities.Telephone lines, electric poles and wires, water lines within the proposed project locations may require to be shifted in few cases. To mitigate the adverse impacts due to relocation of the utilities, the contractor, in collaboration with ULBs will (i) identify the locations and operators of these utilities to prevent unnecessary disruption of services during construction phase; and (ii) instruct construction contractors to prepare a contingency plan to include actions to be done in case of unintentional interruption of services.

115. Site selection of construction work camps, stockpile areas, storage areas, and disposal areas: Priority is to locate these near the project location. However, if it is deemed necessary to locate elsewhere, sites to be considered will not promote instability and result in destruction of property, vegetation, irrigation, and drinking water supply systems. Residential areas will not be considered for setting up construction camps to protect the human environment (i.e., to curb accident risks, health risks due to air and water pollution and dust, and noise, and to prevent social conflicts, shortages of amenities, and crime). Extreme care will be taken to avoid disposals near forest areas, water bodies, or in areas which will inconvenience the community.

116. Site selection of sources of materials. Significant quantities of coarse aggregate and fine aggregate will be required for construction works. Requirement of gravel is limited. Contractor should procure these materials only from the quarries permitted/licensed by Mines and Geology Department. Contractor should, to the maximum extent possible, procure material from existing quarries, and creation of new quarry areas should be avoid as far as possible. It will be the construction contractor’s responsibility to verify the suitability of all material sources and to obtain the approval of Department of Mines & Geology and local revenue administration.

C. CONSTRUCTION IMPACTS 117. Pipeline laying works. Civil works in the project include linear excavation for laying pipes along the roads, placing pipes in the trench and refilling with the excavated soil. The trenches will be of 0.4 m – 0.7 m wide and 0.8 to 1.0 m depth. Subsequent to completion of works, road reinstatement will be undertaken by the contractor as part of the civil works. The roads in the core city area of both the towns are very narrow and congested with pedestrians and vehicles, while the roads in outer areas are wide.

118. Earth work excavation will be undertaken by mostly manually due to narrow roads. Pipe laying works will include laying pipes at required gradient, fixing collars, elbows, tees, bends and other fittings including conveying the material to work spot and testing for water tightness. Sufficient care will be taken while laying so that existing utilities and cables are not damaged and pipes are not thrown into the trenches or dragged, but carefully laid in the trenches. As trenches are a maximum of 1 m deep, there is no risk of collapse of trenches or risk to surrounding buildings. Once they are laid, pipes will be joined as per specification and then tested for any cracks of leakages. The minimum working hours will be 8 hours daily, the total duration of each stage depends on the soil condition and other local features. About 95% of the excavated soil will be used for refilling the refilling the trench after placing the pipe and therefore residual soil after pipe laying and refilling is not significant. This soil shall be used for construction work at other sites.

119. Although construction of these project components involves quite simple techniques of civil work, the invasive nature of excavation and the project locations in the built-up areas of the town where there are a variety of human activities, will result in impacts to the environment and sensitive receptors such as residents, businesses, and the community in general. These anticipated impacts are temporary and for short duration.

120. Other construction works. Other civil works in the subproject include construction of tube wells, water tanks, installation of chlorination units, pumping stations, at the identified sites. These works will be confined to sites, and construction will include general activities like excavation for foundation, construction of foundations, columns, walls and roof in cement concrete and masonry, and fixing of mechanical and electrical fixtures, etc. Tube wells will be constructed using a small drilling rig (mounted on mobile truck) to make small tunnel vertically down into the aquifer, into which lengths of 400-500 mm diameter PE pipe are gradually inserted. Jack well cum pump housewill involve construction within the water body. An enclosed area (about 10 m dia) will be created at the selected site using temporary barriers like sand bags or sheet piles and the water will be pumped out to make the area dry for construction. Once this is created, the rest of the construction will follow the general construction procedures to create a RCC well of size 6 m diameter. Once the work is over, the temporary barriers will be removed.

121. Sources of Materials. Significant amount of sand and coarse aggregate will be required for this project. The construction contractor will be required to: • Use material sources permitted by government; • Verify suitability of all material sources and obtain approval of PIU; and • Submit to PIU on a monthly basis documentation of sources of materials. 122. Air Quality. Emissions from construction vehicles, equipment, and machinery used for excavation and construction will induce impacts on the air quality in the construction sites. Anticipated impacts include dusts and increase in concentration of vehicle-related pollutants such as carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides, particulate matter, nitrous oxides, and hydrocarbons. These however will be temporary, limiting to construction activities only. To mitigate the impacts, construction contractors will be required to:

• Damp down exposed soil and any stockpiled material on site by water sprinkling; • Use tarpaulins to cover sand and other loose material when transported bytrucks; • Clean wheels and undercarriage of haul trucks prior to leaving construction site • Disallow access in the work area except workers to limit soil disturbance and prevent access by barricading and security personnel • Fit all heavy equipment and machinery with air pollution control devices which are operating correctly

123. Surface Water Quality: Run-off from stockpiled materials and chemical contamination from fuels and lubricants during construction works can contaminate downstream surface water quality of the streams. As the rainfall in the project areas is mostly confined to monsoon, these potential impacts are short-term and temporary. However, to ensure that these are mitigated, construction contractor will be required to:

• All earthworks be conducted during the dry season to prevent the problem of soil run-off during monsoon season; • Pipeline works along stream shall be conducted during the no flow period. All the works should be completed including proper refilling and consolidation of refilled trench and site restoration prior to onset of monsoon in June. • Avoid stockpiling of earth fill especially during the monsoon season unless covered by tarpaulins or plastic sheets; • Prioritize re-use of excess spoils and materials in the construction works. If spoils will be disposed, only designated disposal areas shall be used; • Install temporary silt traps or sedimentation basins along the drainage leading to the water bodies; • Place storage areas for fuels and lubricants away from any drainage leading to water bodies; • Dispose any wastes generated by construction activities in designated sites; and • Conduct surface quality inspection according to the Environmental Management Plan (EMP).

124. Construction of Anicut andintake well in the reservoir may lead degradation of water quality due to increase in turbidity and chemical contamination from fuels and lubricant used in construction work. Increase in silt content and water turbidity, chemical quality can affect the aquatic life, silting/chocking of spill ways/ canals etc., Though there are no notable aquatic life, to ensure that any negative impacts are mitigation, the contractor will be required to:

• Select a construction methodology that is least disturbing, and appropriate for the in-situ soil condition, and able to complete the construction work prior to onset of monsoon • Schedule the construction works during low water level period – late winter months to pre monsoon (February – June/July); ensure that works are completed during the same period to prior to onset of monsoon; confirm with dam authorities on release of water; avoid scheduling the works during water release period. • Erect temporary barriers to form enclosed construction area with least disturbance • Allow adequate time settle the distributed solids to prior to pumping out water; only clear/clarified water shall be pumped back into the reservoir; any silt laden water should be pumped to a silt pond • Avoid/minimize use of fuels, chemicals and lubricants; ensure no spillage

125. Generation of Construction Wastes. Solid wastes generated from the construction activities are excess excavated earth (spoils), discarded construction materials, cement bags, wood, steel, oils, fuels and other similar items. Domestic solid wastes may also be generated from the workers’ camp. Improper waste management could cause odor and vermin problems, pollution and flow obstruction of nearby watercourses and could negatively impact the landscape. The following mitigation measures to minimize impacts from waste generation shall be implemented by the contractor:

• Prepare and implement a Construction Waste Management Plan • Stockpiles, lubricants, fuels, and other materials should be located away from steep slopes and water bodies; • Avoid stockpiling any excess spoils. Excess excavated soils should be dispose to approved designated areas; • Domestic solid wastes should be properly segregated in biodegradable and non- biodegradable for collection and disposal to designated solid waste disposal site; • Residual and hazardous wastes such as oils, fuels, and lubricants shall be disposed in disposal sites approved by local authorities; • Prohibit burning of construction and domestic waste; • Ensure that wastes are not haphazardly dumped within the project site and adjacent areas. • Get approval of PIU in writing that the necessary environmental restoration work has been adequately performed before acceptance of work.

126. Noise and Vibration Levels.Except Tubewells in Isagarh, water intake and WTP, all the construction works will be conducted at selected sites and along the roads in all these six towns urban areas, where there are houses, schools and hospitals, religious & historical places and small-scale businesses. The sensitive receptors are the general population in these areas. Drilling tube wells will produce noise and vibration in considerable levels, the noise generation may be in the range of 85 – 98 dBA, which is damaging to human ear if experienced for long period. Increase in noise level may be also caused by excavation, particularly breaking of cement concrete or bitumen roads, operation of construction equipment like concrete mixers. Vibration generated from construction activity, for instance from the use of pneumatic drills, will have impact on nearby buildings and monuments. This impact is negative but short-term, and reversible by mitigation measures. The construction contractor will be required to:

• Plan activities in consultation with PIU so that activities with the greatest potential to generate noise are conducted during periods of the day which will result in least disturbance; • Horns should not be used unless it is necessary to warn other road users or animals of the vehicle’s approach; • Minimize noise from construction equipment by using vehicle silencers, fitting jackhammers with noise-reducing mufflers, and use portable street barriers to minimize sound impact to surrounding sensitive receptor; and • Maintain maximum sound levels not exceeding 80 decibels (dBA) when measured at a distance of 10 m or more from the vehicle/s. • Identify any buildings at risk from vibration damage and avoiding any use of pneumatic drills or heavy vehicles in the vicinity; • Provide personal protection equipment (ear plugs) to the rig operators and other staff engaged in supervision of rig

127. Surface and Groundwater Quality. Another physical impact that is often associated with excavation is the effect on drainage and the local water table if groundwater and surface water collect in the voids. In Isagarh groundwater is deeper than the proposed excavation depths, and rains are limited to monsoon. However, to ensure that water will not pond in pits and voids near project location, the construction contractor will be required to conduct excavation works in non-monsoon season to the maximum extent possible. Drilling operation for tube well construction will generate a slurry material (water mixed with clay/earth). This material should be disposed in the following manner:

• Hold the slurry material in a temporary ditch for some time to allow sedimentation of solids, and dispose the clear water in the stream. • Dispose appropriately or use the solid material in construction

128. Accessibility. Excavation along the roads, hauling of construction materials and operation of equipment on-site can cause traffic problems. Roads in the core/old town areas of Isagarh are very narrow. However, most of the roads are used by pedestrians, bicycles and two wheelers. Four wheelers vehicles are very limited. Potential impact is negative but short term and reversible by mitigation measures. The construction contractor will be required to:

• Confine work areas along the roads to the minimum possible extent; all the activities, including material & waste/surplus soil stocking should be confined to this area. Proper barricading should be provided; avoid material/surplus soil stocking in congested areas – immediately removed from site/ or brought to the as and when required • Leave spaces for access between mounds of soil; • Provide walkways and metal sheets where required to maintain access across for people and vehicles; • Plan transportation routes so that heavy vehicles do not use narrow local roads, except in the immediate vicinity of delivery sites; • Schedule transport and hauling activities during non-peak hours; • Locate entry and exit points in areas where there is low potential for traffic congestion; • Keep the site free from all unnecessary obstructions; • Drive vehicles in a considerate manner; • Coordinate with Traffic Police for temporary road diversions, where necessary, and for provision of traffic aids if transportation activities cannot be avoided during peak hours • Notify affected public by public information notices, providing sign boards informing nature and duration of construction works and contact numbers for concerns/complaints.

129. Wherever road width is minimal, there will be temporary loss of access to pedestrians and vehicular traffic including 2 wheelers during the laying of pipes. Under those circumstances, contractor shall adopt following measures:

• Inform the affected local population 1-week in advance about the work schedule • Plan and execute the work in such a way that the period of disturbance/ loss of access is minimum. • Provide pedestrian access in all the locations until normalcy is restored. Provide wooden/metal planks over the open trenches at each house to maintain the access.

130. Socio-Economic – Income. The project components will be located in government land and there is no requirement for land acquisition or any resettlement. Construction works will impede the access of residents to specific site in limited cases. The potential impacts are negative and moderate but short-term and temporary. The construction contractor will be required to: • Leave spaces for access between mounds of soil; • Provide walkways and metal sheets where required to maintain access across for people and vehicles; • Increase workforce in the areas with predominantly institutions, place of worship, business establishment, hospitals, and schools; • Consult businesses and institutions regarding operating hours and factoring this in work schedules; and • Provide sign boards for pedestrians to inform nature and duration of construction works and contact numbers for concerns/complaints. • Notify community/ water users in advance about likely interruptions in water supply. • Provide alternate sources of clean water until water supply is restored.

131. Socio-Economic – Employment. Manpower will be required during the 24-months construction stage. This can result in generation of temporary employment and increase in local revenue. Thus potential impact is positive and long-term. The construction contractor will be required to:

• Employ at least 50% of the labour force, or to the maximum extent; and

132. Occupational Health and Safety. Workers need to be mindful of the occupational hazards which can arise from working in height and excavation works. Potential impacts are negative and long-term but reversible by mitigation measures. The construction contractor will be required to:

• Comply with all national, state and local labour laws (see Appendix 6); • IFC’s General EHS Guidelines3 and Sector Specific (Water and Sanitation) Guidelines4

3 https://www.ifc.org/wps/wcm/connect/554e8d80488658e4b76af76a6515bb18/Final%2B- %2BGeneral%2BEHS%2BGuidelines.pdf?MOD=AJPERES • Develop and implement site-specific occupational health and safety (OH&S) measures including: (a) prevent entry of public into construction sites; (b) ensue all workers are provided with and use personal protective equipment; (c) OH&S Training5 for all site personnel; (d) documented procedures to be followed for all site activities; and (e) documentation of work-related accidents; • Ensure that qualified first-aid is provided at all times. Equipped first-aid stations shall be easily accessible throughout the site; • Provide medical insurance coverage for workers; • Secure all installations from unauthorized intrusion and accident risks; • Provide supplies of potable drinking water; • Provide clean eating areas where workers are not exposed to hazardous or noxious substances; • Provide H&S orientation training to all new workers to ensure that they are apprised of the basic site rules of work at the site, personal protective protection, and preventing injuring to fellow workers; • Provide visitor orientation if visitors to the site can gain access to areas where hazardous conditions or substances may be present. Ensure also that visitor/s do not enter hazard areas unescorted; • Ensure the visibility of workers through their use of high visibility vests when working in or walking through heavy equipment operating areas; • Ensure moving equipment is outfitted with audible back-up alarms; • Mark and provide sign boards for hazardous areas such as energized electrical devices and lines, service rooms housing high voltage equipment, and areas for storage and disposal. Signage shall be in accordance with international standards and be well known to, and easily understood by workers, visitors, and the general public as appropriate; and • Disallow worker exposure to noise level greater than 85 dBA for duration of more than 8 hours per day without hearing protection. The use of hearing protection shall be enforced actively.

133. Community Health and Safety. Hazards posed to the public, specifically in high- pedestrian areas may include traffic accidents and vehicle collision with pedestrians. Potential impact is negative but short-term and reversible by mitigation measures. The construction contractor will be required to:

• Plan routes to avoid times of peak-pedestrian activities. • Liaise with PIU in identifying risk areas on route cards/maps.

4 https://www.ifc.org/wps/wcm/connect/e22c050048855ae0875cd76a6515bb18/Final%2B- %2BWater%2Band%2BSanitation.pdf?MOD=AJPERES

5 Some of the key areas that may be covered during training as they relate to the primary causes of accidents include (i) slips, trips and falls; (ii) personal protective equipment; (iii) ergonomics, repetitive motion, and manual handling; (iv) workplace transport; and (v) legislation and responsibilities. Training can provide the foundations of competence but it does not necessarily result in a competent worker. Therefore, it is essential to assess staff competence to ensure that the training provided is relevant and effective. Supervision and monitoring arrangements shall be in place to ensure that training has been effective and the worker is competent at their job. The level of supervision and monitoring required is a management decision that shall be based on the risks associated with the job, the level of competence required, the experience of the individual and whether the worker works as part of a team or is a lone worker. • Maintain regularly the vehicles and use of manufacturer-approved parts to minimize potentially serious accidents caused by equipment malfunction or premature failure. • Provide road signs and flag persons to warn of on-going trenching activities.

134. Central parts of the towns are characterized by narrow roads and some of which are accessible only by foot/two wheelers. Besides impeding the access, the trench excavation and pipe laying will pose safety risks to pedestrians, and the people living in these areas. Though the width (~400 mm) and depth (~700 mm) of trench is minimal, it will pose safety risk, especially for children and elders The construction contractor will be required to:

• Provide prior information to the local people about the nature and duration of work • Conduct awareness program on safety during the construction work • Undertake the construction work stretch-wise; excavation, pipe laying and trench refilling should be completed on the same day • Provide barricades, and deploy security personnel to ensure safe movement of people and also to prevent unnecessary entry and to avoid accidental fall into open trenches

135. Work Camps. Operation of work camps can cause temporary air and noise pollution from machine operation, water pollution from storage and use of fuels, oils, solvents, and lubricants. Potential impacts are negative but short-term and reversible by mitigation measures. The construction contractor will be required to:

• Consult PIU before locating project offices, sheds, and construction plants; • Minimize removal of vegetation and disallow cutting of trees; • Provide drinking water, water for other uses, and sanitation facilities for employees; • Ensure conditions of liveability at work camps are maintained at the highest standards possible at all times; • Prohibit workers from hunting wild animals and cutting of trees for firewood; • Train employees in the storage and handling of materials which can potentially cause soil contamination; • Recover used oil and lubricants and reuse or remove from the site; • Manage solid waste according to the following preference hierarchy: reuse, recycling and disposal to designated areas; • Remove all wreckage, rubbish, or temporary structures which are no longer required; and • Confirm to PMU report in writing that the camp has been vacated and restored to pre- project conditions before acceptance of work.

136. Debris disposal. Prior to the commencement of works, contractor shall identify a debris disposal site in consultation with the PIU and adhering to following criteria:

• The site shall be selected preferably from barren, infertile lands. In case agricultural land needs to be selected, top-soil stripping, stacking and preservation should be undertaken prior to initiation of any activities. • Debris disposal site shall be at least 200 m away from surface water bodies6.

6 In the absence of site meeting the stipulated criteria, an alternate site can be selected specifying the reasons. In such a case, the construction camp management plan should incorporate additional measures specific to the site as suggested by the Construction Manager. • No residential areas shall be located within 100 m downwind side of the site. • The site is minimum 250 m. away from sensitive locations like hospitals, religious places, ponds/lakes or other water bodies. • The local governing body and community shall be consulted while selecting the site.

137. Asbestos Materials.Existing water distribution network is mostly asbestos cement (AC) pipes, and because of the health risks these will be left in situ and replaced by new pipes. Plan pipeline alignments carefully to avoid any conflict or damage.

138. The above impacts are typical for construction in urban areas, and therefore are common to all the six subproject towns. These are negative but short-term and reversible by mitigation measures. There are well-developed and proven measures and construction practices to avoid, mitigate and/or minimize these impacts to acceptable levels. These measures are given in the construction phase EMP applicable to all six towns.

D. OPERATION & MAINTENANCE IMPACT 139. The DBO Contractor will carry out operation and Maintenance of the water supply system for 10 years, and after which the respective municipalities will operate and maintain the infrastructure. During the system design life (15/30years for mechanical/civil components),it shall not require major repairs or refurbishments and should operate with little maintenance beyond routine actions required to keep the equipment in working order. The stability and integrity of the system will be monitored periodically to detect any problems and allow remedial action if required. Any repairs will be small-scale involving manual, temporary, and short-term works involving regular checking and recording of performance for signs of deterioration, servicing and replacement of parts. 140. Recurrence of pipe bursting and leakage problems can be managed by the leak detection and water auditing surveys. The ULBs will be required to ensure that the leak detection and rectification time is minimized.

141. For Isagarh town - Regular groundwater monitoring to be conducted to ensure the quality of groundwater suitable for drinking after disinfection. If the groundwater quality is deteriorated, the immediate steps to be taken to change the source or creating appropriate treatment facilities.

142. Since back water is recovered and recirculate in the WTP, no wastewater will be generated from water treatment process. The sludge generated from the wash water storage tank, and sedimentation tanks

143. Provision for recirculation system for filter backwash – backwash water from filter beds will be sent to a storage tank, and after allowing adequate time for settlement of solids, clarified water will be pumped to WTP inlet. This arrangement will avoid pollution and also minimize wastage of water. Water treatment process will generate sludge from sedimentation of particulate matter in raw water, flocculated and precipitated material resulting from chemical coagulation, residuals of excess chemical dosage, plankton etc; and waste from rinsing and back washing of filter media containing debris, chemical precipitates, straining of organic debris and plankton. Accumulated sludge from Tube Settler, filter backwash etc., will be disposed-off at sludge drying beds for natural drying. Dried sludge will be disposed off in a land fill or used as soil conditioner if it is suitable

144. The citizens of the Karera, Pichhore, Aron, Vijaypur, Bairad and Isagarh Nagar Parishads will be the major beneficiaries of the improved water supply system, as they will be provided with a constant supply of better quality water, piped into their homes at an appropriate pressure. The project will improve the over-all health condition of the town as water borne diseases will be reduced, so people should spend less on healthcare and lose fewer working days due to illness, so their economic status should also improve, as well as their overall health. This should also improve the environment of these areas, should deliver major improvements in individual and community health and well-being

145. During the construction phase, there are likely to be positive impacts through employment generation, increase in local revenue from the project activities. During the operation phase also, there is potential for employment generation, though limited, as the improved and expanded water infrastructure requires additional workforce.

VII. PUBLIC CONSULTATION AND INFORMATION DISCLOSURE

A. Overview 146.

153. Prior to start of construction, ULB and PIU with the assistance of PDMC will conduct information dissemination sessions at various places and solicit the help of the local community, leaders/prominent for the project work. At each ward/neighborhood level, focus group meetings will be conducted to discuss and plan construction work with local communities to reduce disturbance and other impacts.

154. A constant communication will be established with the affected communities to redress the environmental issues likely to surface during construction phases and also regarding the grievance redress mechanism. ULB/PIU and PDMC will organize public meetings and will appraise the communities about the progress on the implementation of EMP. Meeting will also be organized at the potential hotspots/sensitive locations before and during the construction.

C. INFORMATION DISCLOSURE 155. Executive summary of the IEE will be translated in Hindi and made available at the offices of PMU, PIU, Nagar Parishad offices, and also displayed on their notice boards. Hard copies of the IEE will be accessible to citizens as a means to disclose the document and at the same time creating wider public awareness. Electronic version of the IEE in English and Executive Summary in Hindi will be placed in the official website of the UDED, PMU after approval of the IEE by Government and ADB. Stakeholders will also be made aware of grievance register and redress mechanism.

156. 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 of progress and future plans. Prior to start of construction, the PMU/PIU will issue Notification on the start date of implementation in local newspapers A board showing the details of the project will be displayed at the construction site for the information of general public.

157. Local communities will be continuously consulted regarding location of construction camps, access and hauling routes and other likely disturbances during construction. The road closure together with the proposed detours will be communicated via advertising, pamphlets, radio broadcasts, road signage, etc.

VIII. GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM

A. PROJECTSPECIFICGRIEVANCE READRESSMECHANISM 158. Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) is a part of project management that is likely to increase accountability and responsiveness among service providers and provide a friendly environment to the beneficiaries of the project. GRM is considered a tool to measure efficiency and effectiveness of the project as it provides important feedback on the project management. Effectively addressing public grievances is a core component of managing risks under Asian Development Bank (ADB) projects according to the Safeguard Policy Statement (Safeguard Requirement 2: Involuntary Resettlement, Pages 49-50, June 2009) – “The borrower/client will establish a mechanism to receive and facilitate the resolution of affected persons’ concerns and grievances about physical and economic displacement and other project impacts, paying particular attention to the impacts on vulnerable groups. The grievance redress mechanism should be scaled to the risks and adverse impacts of the project. It should address 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 costs and without retribution. The mechanism should not impede access to the country’s judicial or administrative remedies. The borrower/client will inform affected persons about the mechanism”. The statement allows the formation of grievance redress committee in the project areas to facilitate the concerns of affected people under the project areas.

B. Purpose of the GRM Manual: 159. This document describes the procedure that shall be followed by the Madhya Pradesh Urban Development Company Limited (MPUDCL) under Madhya Pradesh Urban Services Improvement project (MPUSIP) to address complaints or concerns shared by people affected due to project related interventions.

160. The present document intends to provide clarity to project stakeholders on the grievance redress mechanism procedures to be followed under the project. The document provides clarity on how the complaint shall be received, registered, sorted, assessed, resolved and monitored under MPUSIP. This also includes action plans to be followed for effective implementation.

C. Principles: 161. The GRM is based on the following principles and the same shall be used to assess the GRM performance:

(a) Accessibility The GRM shall be accessible to all people residing in the project area. It shall be available and provide assistance to all project affected people irrespective of language, literacy level, or cost. Project affected people shall access the GRM without fear of reprisal.

Information on the GRM will be disseminated using various means to ensure people know about GRC, its members and procedures.

(b) Predictability The GRM shall offer clear procedures with time frames for each stage and clarity on the type of results it can and cannot deliver.

(c) Transparency The GRM shall operate in such a way that it is easy for others to see what actions are being performed. This will be undertaken through disclosure of all information to the public and affected people.

(d) Credibility The performance of the GRM shall enable affected people to accept and believe that the mechanism works, delivers results and is trustworthy.

(e) Fairness The GRM procedures shall be perceived as fair, especially in terms of access to information, and opportunities for meaningful participation in the final decision. Its outcome should be consistent with applicable national standards and should not restrict access to other redress mechanisms.

(f) Feedback The GRM shall serve as a means to channel citizen feedback to improve project outcomes for the people.

It is difficult to avoid Grievances totally but much can be done to minimize and manage complaints in order to reduce impacts.

D. Nature and scope of Grievance Redress Mechanism under MPUSIP 162. GRM aims to address complaints of local affected people because of project interventions in the selected towns (64 towns) of MPUSIP during the project period.

163. MPUSIP predicts public complaints because of the nature of the project during the design, implementation and operation & maintenance stage of the project. In the design phase, people are expected to raise inconveniences with regards to land acquisition, compensation amount, compensation procedure and environmental issues. During project implementation, grievances may come from individuals or a particular group of people in relation to construction related inconveniences such as dust, noise, blocking drainage, damage roads, walls/boundaries of property and its impact on their daily lives in addition to land acquisition, and compensation. Issues related to corruption shall not be considered by the Grievance Redress Committee (GRC). Corruption related issues shall be forwarded to the State GRC (PMU) directly by the Chairperson of town level GRC at the time of sorting of grievances. The structure, functions of GRC, monitoring & evaluation systems and action plan of its implementation is described below:

E. Structure of GRM and its Functions 164. The GRM will have a three- tier decision making process. The first tier which is at the town level aims to resolve all construction related grievances which require quick and efficient action. The second tier which is at the project implementation unit (PIU) will handle complaints that could not be resolved by the first- tier level and/or grievances related to land acquisition and compensation. The third tier which is at the project management unit (PMU) or state level will handle complaints which are over and above the scope for the first and second tier and/or complaints which could not be resolved by the first and second tier levels.

165. Contact numbers of GRC Chair-person and members, CDO and contractor’s focal person will be placed at appropriate locations like construction sites, ULB office etc.

A. Environmental Management Plan 169. An environmental management plan (EMP) has been developed to provide mitigation measures to reduce all negative impacts to acceptable levels

170. The EMP will guide the environmentally-sound construction of the subproject and ensure efficient lines of communication between MPUDC, project management unit (PMU), project implementing unit (PIU), consultants and contractors. The EMP will (i) ensure that the activities are undertaken in a responsible non-detrimental manner; (i) provide a pro-active, feasible and practical working tool to enable the measurement and monitoring of environmental performance on site; (ii) guide and control the implementation of findings and recommendations of the environmental assessment conducted for the subproject; (iii) detail specific actions deemed necessary to assist in mitigating the environmental impact of the subproject; and (iv) ensure that safety recommendations are complied with. The EMP includes a monitoring program to measure the environmental condition and effectiveness of implementation of the mitigation measures. It will include observations on- and off-site, document checks, and interviews with workers and beneficiaries.

171. The contractor will be required to submit to PIU, for review and approval, a site environmental plan (SEP) including (i) proposed sites/locations for construction work camps, storage areas, hauling roads, lay down areas, disposal areas for solid and hazardous wastes; (ii) specific mitigation measures following the approved EMP; (iii) monitoring program as per SEP; and (iv) budget for SEP implementation. No works are allowed to commence prior to approval of SEP.

172. A copy of the EMP must be kept at work sites at all times. This EMP will be included in the bid documents and will be further reviewed and updated during implementation. The EMP will be made binding on all contractors operating on the site and will be included in the contractual clauses. Non-compliance with, or any deviation from, the conditions set out in this document constitutes a failure in compliance.

173. For civil works, the contractor will be required to (i) carry out all of the mitigation and monitoring measures set forth in the EMP; and (ii) implement any corrective or preventative actions set out in safeguards monitoring reports that the employer will prepare from time to time to monitor implementation of this IEE and EMP. The contractor shall allocate budget for compliance with these EMP measures, requirements and actions.

174. The following tables show the potential environmental impacts, proposed mitigation measures and responsible agencies for implementation and monitoring.

Suitable provisions should be made for lining of drains and prevention and chocking / overflow / lateral and vertical seepage. • Proper monitoring groundwater withdrawal to be conducted; all the tube wells should be fitted with flow meters. Piezometers should be constructed at suitable locations to identify ground water aquifer zones. • A detailed study of hydrogeology, land use and geomorphology of the region should be conducted and source sustainability plan should be prepared incorporating the water cycle of Isagarh Nagar Parishad area, the water budget, and the groundwater assessment. • Following sustainability structures are suggested: sub-surface dyke; a combination of sub-surface dyke and check dam; check dam; recharge pits; recharge shafts, community roof top rainwater harvesting systems. However, it is highly recommended that these structurers, their design and location, must be finalized after a thorough study of groundwater conditions of the area and must be as per the sustainability plan of the Isagarh Nagar Parishad. • Conjunctive use of ground and surface water must be promoted • The annular space between the casing pipe and the wall of the bore well must be sealed with cement slurry in order to prevent groundwater contamination • A 1m x 1m x 1m concrete block is to be constructed around the exposed casing pipe above the surface. The block will be 50 cm above the ground and 50 cm below the ground to holdfast the casing pipe. • The top of the casing pipe should be at least 90 cm above the ground or above the reported HFL of the site, whichever is higher. • Suitable measures to be taken to prevent contamination of source since the water quality may be impacted by untreated sewage flowing nearby; suitable provisions should be made for lining of drains and prevention and chocking / overflow / lateral and vertical seepage.

Urban Development and Environment Department (UDED) of Government of Madhya Pradesh (GoMP) will be the Executing Agency for the Program, responsible for management, coordination and execution of all investment program activities. Implementing Agency will be the Madhya Pradesh Urban Development Company (MPUDC) of GoMP, which will implement this program via a Project Management Unit (PMU) at Bhopal, and Project Implementation Units (PIUs) at project towns. PMU will appoint contractors to build infrastructure and PIUs will coordinate the construction. PMU and PIUs will be assisted by Program Management Consultants (PMC).

176. The PMU and PIUs will be supported by several teams of Design Consultants in preparation of preliminary engineering designs.

177. Program Management Consultant (PMC) centrally located in PMU and with field teams located in PIUs shall be responsible for implementation of the Program. All infrastructure contracts will be procured through performance-based contracts (PBCs) and include buildoperate (BO) framework. Based on the preliminary designs prepared by Design Consultants, the DBO (design-build-operate) Contractor will design, construct, commission and operate for 10 years, after which it will be transferred to the respective ULB.

178. Water Resource Review Committee (WRRC) is constituted to undertake a thorough review of the source when recommended by the Design Consultant in regard to techno economic feasibility and sustainability especially ensuring climate change resilience, and Technical Review Committee (TRC) to review and approve the preliminary designs developed by the Design Consultants

179. Two Committees - an Empowered Committee cum Executive Committee and a Technical Clearance and Tender Committee have been constituted by the Government to be responsible for effective and timely implementation of the Program.

X. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION 193. The process described in this document has assessed the environmental impacts of all elements of the Package 4D towns Karera, Pichhore, Aron, Bairad, Isagarh and Vijaypur water supply improvement subproject. All potential impacts were identified in relation to pre- construction, construction, and operation phases. Planning principles and design considerations have been reviewed and incorporated into the site planning and design process wherever possible; thus, environmental impacts as being due to the project design or location were not significant.

194. There are Karera bird sanctuary in the Karera sub project town at the western side of the town. It is situated approx. 14 km away from Karera town. There will not be any negative impact due to proposed project as impact will be only from construction and for limited time frame. Karera Wildlife sanctuary today has not a single bird species. Owing to villagers/public pressure and the extinction of the bird locally, the National Board for Wildlife and the Government of Madhya Pradesh have decided to denotify the sanctuary and is seeking the Centre's approval (Refer Appendix 26). The decision is now awaiting a final approval from the Supreme Court of India and should it come through, the sanctuary will become the country's first such reserve to lose its official recognition

195. There are two important location and design aspects. First, the proposed water supply schemes include design of new water sources, that include construction of Weir (for Aron), and drawing of water from different dams for Karera, Pichhhore, Vijaypur and Bairad town.

196. As per salient features of the Dams, it is assessed to be unlikely to have any issue of source sustainability for the Karera, Pichhore, Vijaypur and Bairad towns, where as in Aron town small weir is proposed.

197. Although none of the components are located within the forest, conduct of construction works and presence of workers, vehicles may damage /disturb the sensitive areas. Necessary precautionary measures are suggested to avoid any impacts.

198. There are Karera bird sanctuary in the Karera sub project town at the western side of the town. Subproject components are mostly located in the urban areas of of subprojects towns, where there are no sensitive environmental features. The proposed subproject components are located out of Karera bird sanctuary boundary but all are within the boundary of eco sensitive zone within the municipal limit in urban areas at a distance of 0.5km to 2.0 km from the boundary of Karera wildlife sanctuary as shown in google map annexed as Fig-24. There will not be any negative impact due to proposed project as impact will be only from construction and for limited time frame. Raw water rising main will be laid under ground along main existing road within ROW. WRD permission for abstraction of surface water & construction of intake already obtained which is appended as Appendix 24. As per MOEFCC Notification New Delhi 15th September 2017 – Commercial Extraction of surface water Construction activities within the Eco-Sensitive Zone is permitted as per building byelaws to meet the residential needs of the local residents such as construction and renovation of infrastructure including civic aminities (Refer Table 3, S. No. 14, S. No. 20 & S. No. 27 and Refer Appendix 18, Para 4, S. No. 14 S. No. 20- MOEFCC Notification, New Delhi 15th Sep 2017). However, it will be done with mitigation measures, as per applicable laws, rules and regulation and available guidelines. Also consultation conducted with forest official on dated 10.05.2018 at Office of Chief Conservator of Forest & Director, Madhav National Park, Shivpuri as Its management and control is under Field Director of Madhav National Park (Refer Appendix 7 & Appendix 10). Detailed discussions held and briefed about proposed components under water supply scheme for Karera town within eco-sensitive zone and its impact on Karera bird Sanctuary. They told that they have no objection as this project is to meet the daily residential needs of the local residents by providing with a constant supply of better quality water, subproject will improve the overall environmental quality of the town and surrounding areas.

199. Precaution must be taken care to minimize the noise during construction work to avoid any negative impact on bird sanctuary. The impact will be only for limited time during construction work. Since the proposed subprojects components such as RWRM, CWRM, WTP and OHTs works shall be limited to actual construction area and the access roads, but appropriate steps should be taken according to the nature of the risk.

200. Kuno Wildlife Sanctury which is also known as Palpur - Kuno Wildlife Sanctuary is situated at a distance of 10 km from Bairad town and 24 km from vijaypur town. None of the components are located within the boundary of Kuno wildlife sanctuary or its ecosensitive zone.

201. Water source sustainability of Samoha Dam for Karera, Futiwar dam for Pichhore town and Sindh River for Aron town, Pachipura dam for Bairad town and Existing stop dam on Kunwari river recently constructed by WRD for Vijaypur town, has been reviewed based on the available data. Permission of water resources department for this project, has been obtained.

202. For the Karera town, the demand of water supply for the year 2018, 2033 & 2048 are estimated to the tune of 5.40 MLD, 6.90 MLD & 8.30 MLD respectively. Thus maximum of 8.30 MLD intake form the source per annum i.e. 3030 ML (3.03 MCM) of drawl of water is to be ensured. Annual average recoupment of water in the tank every year is around 18.533 MCM. While the recoupment of water during rainy season is 18.533 MCM which is 4 times than the annual water demand of Karera town.

203. For the Pichhore town, the demand of water supply for the year 2018, 2033 & 2048 are estimated to the tune of 1.80 MLD, 2.30 MLD & 2.90 MLD respectively. Thus maximum of 2.90 MLD intake form the source per annum i.e. 1058.50 ML (1.06 MCM) of drawl of water is to be ensured. The annual recuperation of Futiwar dam is 4.95 MCM. The required quantity of water for Pichhore WSS has been ensured from the WRD Department.

204. Sustainability of Sindh River for supplying water to Aron was critically analyzed and it is make sure that sufficient water is available in River to supply the water in Aron for 2048.

205. To the extent possible surface water sources are adopted. Water requirement for Bairad town in year 2048 is 2.91 MLD and total water requirement per annum in 2048 is 1.06 Million Cubic Meters. The total live storage of Pachipura dam is 8.32 Million Cubic meters. Hence, total requirement of water for Bairad is 12.75% of live storage capacity of the dam. Hence the same is adopted as source for Bairad water supply scheme. Permission of water resources department is a prerequisite for the project, and this needs to be obtained prior to invitation of bids for civil works.

206. For Vijaypur, the Gauge-Discharge data obtained from water resources department for Kunwari River and sustainability of river has been reviewed based on the available data with Water Resources Department. Source water quality for Vijaypur town has been tested and found all the parameters are within the limits as per standards except coli form. Hence WTP is proposed for to treat the water. 207. Source water quality of Samoha dam for Karera town, Futiwar dam for Pichhore town and Sindh river for Aron town, Pachipura dam for Bairad town and Kunwari River for Vijaypur town was critically analyzed during the study and it was found suitable in terms of quality and quantity for supplying water in respective towns (Refer Table 16 & Appendix18). Water quality is appropriate for drinking water supply after treatment and disinfection. There will not be any negative impact on environment during operation phase of project. During construction work of intake well at Samoha dam there will be some negative impact on dam. But, impact will be only duly construction work and limited.

208. There is an important design issue related to selection of groundwater as source. In the absence of any reliable surface water source in the proximity, it is proposed to continue groundwater source for Isagarh. Ground water is potable and sufficient to fulfill the demand of town upto year 2048, because natural recharging is available by means of Sing Sagar Lake around town. In the proposed project existing tube wells are sufficient for year. However, given the current safe stage of groundwater development, the abstraction should be combined with groundwater augmentation measures, and therefore it is proposed to undertake a detail study and include the recommendation of the study in the project implementation. This study will look into both groundwater sustainability and quality.

209. During the construction phase, impacts mainly arise from the construction dust and noise, the need to dispose of large quantities of waste soil and import a similar amount of sand to support the sewer in the trenches; and from the disturbance of residents, businesses, traffic and important buildings by the construction work. The social impacts (access disruptions) due to construction activities are unavoidable, as the residential and commercial establishments exist along the roads where pipes will be laid. Appropriate mitigation measures are suggested. Minimize tree cutting and vegetation removal at WTP, and proper erosion control measures. As a feeder main is proposed on the bank of Sing Sagar lake, there is a risk of water pollution. Appropriate measures are suggested for Isagarh.

210. Anticipated impacts of water supply during operation and maintenance will be related to detection and repair of leaks, pipe bursts. These are, however, likely to be minimal, as proper design and selection of good quality pipe material shall mean that leaks are minimal. Leak repair work will be similar to the pipe-laying work. Application and handling of chlorine gas will involve certain risks, and appropriate measures are suggested for safe application.

211. The public participation processes undertaken during project design ensured stakeholders are engaged during the preparation of the IEE. The planned information disclosure measures and process for carrying out consultation with affected people will facilitate their participation during project implementation.

212. The project’s grievance redressal mechanism will provide the citizens with a platform for redressal of their grievances, and describes the informal and formal channels, time frame, and mechanisms for resolving complaints about environmental performance

213. The EMP will assist the PMU, PIU, PDMC and contractors in mitigating the environmental impacts, and guide them in the environmentally sound execution of the proposed project.

214. A copy of the EMP shall be kept on-site during the construction period at all times. The EMP shall be made binding on all contractors operating on the site, and will be included in the contractual clauses. Non-compliance with, or any deviation from, the conditions set out in this document shall constitute a failure in compliance

215. The project will benefit the general public by contributing to the long-term improvement of water supply and sewerage systems and community livability in towns. The potential adverse environmental impacts are mainly related to the construction period, which can be minimized by the mitigating measures and environmentally sound engineering and construction practices.

216. Therefore, as per ADB SPS, the project is classified as environmental category B and does not require further environmental impact assessment. However, to conform to government guidelines projects require (i) permission of WRD, GoMP for water abstraction from water Reservoirs (ii) WTP requires Consent for Establishment (CFE) and Consent for Operation (CFO) from Madhya Pradesh Pollution Control Board. These permissions/approvals shall be obtained prior to invitation of bids for civil works.

217. IEE report shall be updated during design stage by DBO contractor to reflect any change, amendment and will be reviewed and approved by PMU.
