Date .................... ii The Rural Electrification Authority: Project Report for the proposed Mwachabo Market & Pry/Manoa Disp/ Chunga Unga, Dighai, Kamtonga and Mkuki Markets (Mwatate Constituency) 33 kV power distribution line EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A. Introduction: The subject of this Project Report is the proposed 35.3 km- Mwachabo Market, Pry/Manoa Disp/ Chunga Unga Market/Dighai Market/ Kamtonga Market/Mkuki Market 33 kV power distribution line being developed by the Rural Electrification Authority-REA on behalf of the Kenya Government. The Report has been prepared for REA (Proponent) by Repcon Associates (The Environmental Firm of Experts) in compliance with the Environmental Management and Coordination Act, 1999 and in line with Legal Notice No. 101 of June 2003. B. Scope of the Project Report: The main objective of this Project Report is identify environmental and social impacts associated with development and operation of the proposed power distribution line and recommend appropriate mitigation measures for integration in all phases of project development. Framework and depth of the Project Report has been dictated by requirements of EMCA 1999 and Legal Notice 101 of June 2003 which has defined parameters for conduct of Environmental and Social Impact Assessment studies in Kenya. Regulation 7(1) of Legal Notice 101 of EMCA dictates the following basic content of Project Reports:- a) The nature of the project; b) The Division of the project including the physical area that may be affected by the project’s activities; c) The activities that shall be undertaken during the project construction, operation and decommissioning phases; d) The design of the project; e) The materials to be used, products, by-products, including waste to be generated by the project and the methods of disposal; f) The potential environmental impacts of the project and the mitigation measures to be taken during and after implementation; g) An action plan for the prevention and management of possible accidents during the project cycle; h) A plan to ensure the health and safety of the workers and neighboring communities; i) The economic and socio-cultural impacts to the local community and the nation in general; j) The project budget; k) Any other information that the Authority may require C: Study Methodology pursued The systematic investigative and reporting methodology specified for conduct Project Reports by Legal Notice 101 of EMCA was adopted in this Study. Baseline data on project design was generated through discussion with the client and review of project documentation. Opinions formed were revalidated iii The Rural Electrification Authority: Project Report for the proposed Mwachabo Market & Pry/Manoa Disp/ Chunga Unga, Dighai, Kamtonga and Mkuki Markets (Mwatate Constituency) 33 kV power distribution line through field work entailing site investigations and interviews with potentially affected people and secondary stakeholders. To identify, predict, analyze and evaluate potential impacts that may emanate from the project, diverse study methods and tools including use of checklists, matrices, expert opinions and observations were employed. An Environmental and Social Management Plan comprising an impact mitigation plan and modalities for monitoring and evaluation were then developed to guide environmental management during all phases of project development. D: The Project Report Team This Project Report study was undertaken by a team of 2 consultants namely:- • Mr. Michael M. Wairagu-EIA Lead Expert • Ms. Nancy Kanyi-Sociologist E: Policy, legal and regulatory framework: This Project Report has been developed to ensure that the proposed development of power distribution lines is in conformity with national policy aspirations towards securing sustainable development. Specifically, this report has been developed to ensure compliance with requirements of the Environmental Management and Coordination Act (EMCA) 1999-Kenya’s supreme environmental law, the National Constitution and World Bank’s safeguard requirements. Section 58 of EMCA requires that all development proposed in Kenya to be subjected to environmental assessment to be conducted in line with the Second Schedule and The Environmental (Impact Assessment and Audit) Regulations, 2003. As well, Op 4.01 of the World Bank demands environmental assessment for Category A and B hence occasioning the need for the study report disclosed here-in. F. Project description: The Proponent in respect of the proposed Mwachabo Market, Pry/Manoa Disp/ Chunga Unga Market/Dighai Market/ Kamtonga Market/Mkuki Market 33 kV power distribution line is the Rural Electrification Authority (REA) - a State Corporation established under Section 66 of the Energy Act No 12 of 2006 for purposes of accelerating the pace of rural electrification in Kenya. Development of the Mwachabo power distribution line will be financed under auspices of the KEEP (REA component) whose overall aim is to increase access to electricity in rural areas and is justifiable in that it will electrify rural villages and institutions and thus unlock the opportunities associated with cost effective access to convertible energy sources. The project will entail development of 35.3 kilometers of Three Phase power distribution line which will comprise 3 lengths of parallel conductors (each 35.3 Km long) mounted on a total of 133 wooden poles of 10-14 m height. The 33 kV power will be stepped down to 0.433 through 2 differently located transformers and then supplied to consumers through new low voltage lines to be constructed. Mwacho market can be accessed by rough road from Mwatate though the Teita Estate from the Mwatate-Taveta (A23 road) branching off just before Bura. G: The proposed route of traverse The Mwachabo power distribution line trading centers and institutions situated within the Mwachabo location of Mwatate District. Mwachabo location is situated in the Taita lowlands which is part of the expansive lowland area extending from the Yatta Plateau in the East to beyond the Tanzanian boundary iv The Rural Electrification Authority: Project Report for the proposed Mwachabo Market & Pry/Manoa Disp/ Chunga Unga, Dighai, Kamtonga and Mkuki Markets (Mwatate Constituency) 33 kV power distribution line in the west and which contains the Tsavo East and West National Parks. Altitude generally averages 700 m above sea level. On account of low altitude and absence of relief barriers, rainfall in the Mwatate lowlands averages 665mm delivered in two seasons; - March to May and November to December. The latter peak is more pronounced. Further, the prevailing high temperatures exert a huge evaporative demand of 2189mm annually which far exceeds moisture inputs from rainfall with a consequent huge moisture deficit throughout the year. Long-term climate for the area is therefore semiarid which gives rise to savannah woodlands dominated by Acacia-Commiphora formations. As at the 2009 National Population Census, Mwachabo location had a population of 12,263 people comprised of 3,065 households of which, the local Taita form the greater majority. The location hosts the large-scale Teita Estate specialising in sisal growing but small settlements of Mwachabo, Manoa, Kamtonga, Mkuki, etc are building up in the un-adjudicated area to the west of the sisal farm. These are the settlements targeted for power supply. H: Findings from the Study (i) Overview of impacts: The scope of adverse impacts associated with construction of 10 kilometres of 33 kV power distribution line in an otherwise low density agricultural settlement is inherently low. Thus, for the proposed Mwachabo power line, this study has only identified a total of 34 impacts, 17 of which are positive. Other trends in impacts are as follows:- • The other half of potential impacts are likely
