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, these subprojects do 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.

Categorization. Based on results of the assessment and ADB SPS, the subproject is classified as environmental Category B, i.e., the subproject is judged to be unlikely to have significant adverse environmental impacts. An initial environmental examination (IEE) is required to determine whether significant environmental impacts warranting an environmental impact assessment are likely.

Aim of this IEE is to (i) provide critical facts, significant findings, 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.

Description of the Environment.

Project area experience a subtropical climate, typical to north India, hot summers, cold and dry winters and monsoon rains. While there is no natural habitat left within the town areas, the areas near river intakes are comparatively intact though most of the lands there too converted iii into agricultural use. There are no protected areas, like wildlife sanctuaries, national parks, nor there are any historically, archeologically protected areas in the vicinity. 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.

Jeron Khalsa and Lidhora Khas Towns WSS: The subproject components locations are in subproject towns Kari, Jeron Khalsa and Lidhorakhas towns and their surroundings. Jamini River is about 2.5 km far from Jeron Khalsa and about 28 Km from Lidhorakhas. There is a 276 m long and 3.0 m high existing stop dam built by WRD on the Jamni River near milanghat. The capacity of existing stop dam is 0.725 MCM. This capacity is not sufficient to fulfil the water demand of both the towns., Existing weir has been proposed for water storage after increasing the height of existing weir by 1.5m, so that its storage capacity should be sufficient to fulfil the water demand of group scheme for Lidhora Khas & Jeron Khalsa towns. This existing stop dam need to some repairing work to meet the functional requirement. A common intake well also proposed on the bank of Jamini River near existing dam at Bajrang garh to draw the total water demand 2.98 MLD of both of the towns. These facilities are located outside the town, and are mostly surrounded by agricultural lands, and river/reservoir. None of the component, however located on any forest land. Rest of the components – water tanks, distribution lines, connections etc., will be located within the urban areas.

A common WTP of capacity 3.25 MLD has been proposed near bajranggarh outside the town. Raw water will be pumped from Jamini River to proposed WTP through 950-meter-long DI K-9 pumping mains of dia 250mm along an existing main road within RoW. After treatment from WTP, clear water will be pumped to existing and proposed OHT of respective towns through HDPE PN-10 distribution line. 1 OHT of capacity 100 Kl is proposed at ward no.05, Jeron Khalsa and 02 different OHT of 200KL capacity is proposed at ward no.3 & Ward no. 9 of Lidorakhas town. To fill ESR’s of Lidhorkhas, intermediate pumping station has been proposed. ESR’s is proposed at Village Samdhua-Durana about 8 Km from Jeron Khalsa. 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. Distribution networks will be laid along the roads/streets in the towns within the road right of way (ROW). In wider roads pipes/sewers will be laid in the road shoulder, and in narrow roads, where there is no space, pipes/sewers will be laid in the road carriage. There are no trees along the roads, except in some colonies in the outer areas. In old town areas pipes will be laid in the middle of the road, which may affect the traffic.

Kari Town WSS: River Jamni flows about 11.5 Km away from the town Kari. In the Jamni River near Aamghat there is an existing weir which was constructed by WRD. The length of the existing Weir is 130 m and height is 2.5 m. This existing weir is deteriorating condition hence a new weir has been proposed upstream to this weir across Jamini River. An Intake well of 6m dia and 14.37 m height is proposed at the bank of Aamghat on Jamini River near proposed weir to draw the total water demand of 1.56 MLD for Kari Nagar Parishad. The distance between the weir proposed for group scheme Jeron Khalsa & Lidhora Khas WSS is about 39.8 km as shown in Fig 11. These facilities are located outside the town, and are mostly surrounded by agricultural lands, and rivers/reservoirs. None of the components however located on any forest land. Raw water rising main from Intake well to WTP is conveyed through proposed rising mains of 10850m long of 150mm Dia DI-K9 will be laid underground within RoW of existing main road.

A WTP is proposed of capacity 1.7 MLD at Viyogi ward No. 01. After treatment from WTP clear water will be convey by pumping mains to existing GSR of capacity 100 KL and 3 No proposed

GSR having capacity 110 KL at ward no. 10, 170KL at ward no. 7 and 200KL at ward no. 13 respectively. 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 town. Rest of the components – water tanks, distribution lines, connections etc., will be located within the urban areas. Distribution networks will be laid along the roads/streets in the towns within the road right of way (ROW). In wider roads pipes/sewers will be laid in the road shoulder, and in narrow roads, where there is no space, pipes/sewers will be laid in the road carriage. There are no trees along the roads, except in some colonies in the outer areas. In old town areas pipes will be laid in the middle of the road, which may affect the traffic.

Environmental impacts arise due to the project design or because of the locations chosen for the project components are not significant. The proposed water supply schemes include creation of new water sources with the nearest /feasible surface water body. Schemes include construction of a new weir and increasing height of existing weir (for group water supply scheme of Jeron Khalsa and Lidhorakhas Towns).

Both the weirs are proposed on Jamni River, and the distance between the weir proposed for group scheme of Jeron Khalsa- Lidhora khas WSS and Kari WSS is about 40 km (river length). Jamni River is not a perennial river, and flows mostly during monsoon and post monsoon, from early July to October. It carries high flows during the months of July and August, medium flows during September-October, after which flow reduces considerably, and river completely dry by the month of December / January. It runs dry until the onset of monsoon. No flow data is available as there is no gauging station on the river. To provide for low / no season period, raw water storage is necessary for provision of water supply to the subproject towns. For Jeron Khalsa- Lidhora khas scheme, there is an existing weir of 3.0 m high, and it is assessed to be not adequate to meet the ultimate demand of the scheme (2.98 MLD or 1.087 MCM per year), and therefore it is proposed to increase the height from 3.0 m to 4.5 m by installing gates over the existing weir after rehabilitation. For Kari scheme, there is an existing weir of 2.5 m high on Jamni River, which is in poor condition, and therefore it is proposed to construct a new weir of 3.5 m height to meet the ultimate demand of Kari Scheme (1.56 MLD or 0.569 MCM per year).

Total length of the river is 201 km, and is non-perennial and flows only during part of the year. It flows for about 4months, mostly during monsoon and winter seasons, from early July to October. No flow data is available as there is river no gauging station on the river. Weirs and storage reservoir required for the lean / no flow season. The water demand of Kari town is 1.56 MLD or 0.569 MCM per year, while total available water based on catchment area and rainfall analysis is 169 MCM. The abstraction is just about 0.34 % of water available. The proposed yearly water abstraction for combined scheme of Jaron Khalsa and Lidhora khas is 1.0877 MCM, which is just a fraction (about 0.3%) of total yearly water availability in the catchment (i.e.,357.80 MCM).

Considering this negligible proportion of water abstraction, no notable impacts are anticipated in the downstream due to reduction in flow. There are already existing several existing dams/weirs on the river. Construction of a new weir just upstream side of the existing weir and increasing the height will not significantly alter the existing flow regime. Given intermittent nature of river, there are no notable sensitive environmental features. There is no notable, protected or unique aquatic life in the river, and the fish is limited to local common species. At the proposed weir location, the riverbanks are higher than and the proposed weir height. Therefore, the water storage is confined to river course / flood plain, and there is no submergence of lands outside v the river. No negative impacts or acquisition of government of private or government lands anticipated.

As the package is implemented under DBO mode, the detailed design of weir will be conducted by the contractor after contract award. Water quality is good and there are no potential pollution sources in the vicinity that could affect the water quality. Necessary precautionary measures are suggested to avoid any impacts.

During the project construction phase, potential negative impacts may 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, minimization to acceptable levels are proposed here.

Environmental Management Plan. As a part of mitigate measures in order to achieve acceptable levels in the negative impacts, an environmental management plan (EMP) has been proposed. The EMP given here includes the design measures for (i) safe disposal of sludge coming out of wash water tanks from WTP to reduce effluent (ii) energy efficient pumping equipment and (iii) quick leak detection and rectification to save the resources, etc. During execution phase, 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) use of noise-dampening measures in areas with sensitive receptors such as hospitals, schools, places of worships and other silence-zones; (v) use of dust-suppression methods such as watering and/or covering of stockpiles; and (vi) finding beneficial use of excavated materials to extent possible to reduce the quantity that will be disposed off. As for the O&M phase, 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 WTP 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.

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.

The contractor will be required to submit to PMU, 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. 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.

Consultation, disclosure and grievance redress mechanism. The stakeholders were involved in developing the IEE through discussions on-site and public consultation at several places in the towns, 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.

Implementation Arrangements. Urban Development and Housing Department (UDHD) of Government of Madhya Pradesh is the Executing Agency and Madhya Pradesh Urban Development Company (MPUDC) is the Implementing Agency. Project Management Unit (PMU) attached to MPUDC is responsible for implementation and will be supported by Program Implementation Units (PIUs). Several teams of Design Consultants, and a Program Management Consultant (PMC), will support PMU & PIUs. Infrastructure will be designed, built, and operated by DBO contractor for 10 years, after which it will be transferred to ULBs. 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 PMC. Contractor personnel will include an Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) supervisor.

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.

Conclusions and Recommendations. Based on the findings of the IEE, there are no significant impacts and the classification of the project as Category “B” is confirmed. No further special study or detailed environmental impact assessment (EIA) needs to be undertaken to comply with ADB SPS (2009) or GoI EIA Notification (2006). Project will require permission of Water Resources Department (WRD) for water abstraction from Jamni River, weir and intake construction, and consent of Madhya Pradesh Pollution Control Board (MPPCB) for WTP for both the schemes. These permissions/approvals shall be obtained prior to award of contracts.

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.

I. INTRODUCTION

A. Background

1. Government of Madhya Pradesh with loan funding from Asian Development Bank (ADB) has proposed to implement Madhya Pradesh Urban Services Improvement Project (MPUSIP), herein after referred as ‘the Project’. Madhya Pradesh Urban Development Company Limited (MPUDC) shall be the Implementing Agency and the State Urban Development and Housing Department (UDHD) shall be the executing agency for the Project. A project management unit (PMU) created under MPUDC is implementing MPUSIP.

2. MPUSIP’s physical components include (a) improvements to water in 64 project towns, and (b) sewage and storm water collection and treatment services proposed in seven (6) identified towns namely Sanchi, Maihar, Dhamnod, Nagda and Khajuraho-Rajnagar under tranche II. The project also includes an institutional strengthening component and a project management and administrative support component.

3. The Project components are as follows:

(i) Component 1: Improvements to water supply and sewerage services in identified towns ➢ Continuous, pressurized, safe and sustainable drinking water through private household metered connections in sixty-four towns in the State of Madhya Pradesh in Central India; and ➢ Sewage and storm water collection and treatment services proposed initially in six (6) identified towns (Khajuraho and Rajnagar, Sanchi, Maihar, Dhamnod & Nagda,) ;

(ii) Component 2: Institutional Strengthening ➢ Capacity Building of implementing agencies (IAs), participating Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) and service utilities in contract management and service delivery for ensuring long term sustainability of services; ➢ Setting up of geographic information system (GIS) based water and sanitation asset management and service delivery monitoring; and ➢ Structured behavioral change campaigns to ensure the improvement in public health and cost recovery of service delivery.

(iii) Component 3: Project Management and Administration Support. This component will support the smooth and effective implementation and operation of the Project which includes expert support in Project design and implementation (design, procurement and Contract and Project Management, safeguards etc.), and project administration through Executing and Implementing Agencies.

4. The Subproject. Kari, Jeron Khalsa and Lidhorakhas are located in the Tikamgarh District in the northern part of Madhya Pradesh state and improvement of water supply in these four towns is one of the subprojects proposed under MPUSIP. The objective of the subproject is to achieve safe and sustainable water services both in terms of services to customers, cost 2

recovery and conservation of precious water resources. The subproject envisages providing 100% coverage of population with continuous, pressurized and safe drinking water services and achieving progressively increasing cost recovery by expanding the coverage and increasing operating efficiency. The subproject includes civil works (weir, raw and clear water transmission, overhead tanks, distribution network, consumer connections and flow meters), project implementation and management, and non-physical investments. A detailed description of the components is provided in Section III.

B. Purpose of this IEE Report

5. 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.

6. This IEE is based on the preliminary engineering report prepared by the DPR consultant team namely, “BLG CONSTRUCTION SERVICES (P) LTD., JODHPUR.” 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 conducted however, 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. Stakeholder consultation was an integral part of the IEE.

B. Existing Water Supply Situation

1. Kari

11. Water Supply is one of the important municipal services. The level of service for water supply has been assessed for source of water supply, quality of water, quantity of water, storage facilities, etc. as detailed out to the subsequent section. Presently the total water supply in the town is 0.41 mld through tube well.

12. The ground water is the main source of water for the town. The piped water is supplied through 2 tube wells. In addition to this, wells and hand pumps are other sources of water in the town. The water table in the area is going down years to years, due to which discharge of existing tube wells is going reduced. Table 1: Details of existing water source & system S.

Per Capita Supply 32 LPCD considering losses. Source: Nagar Parishad Kari

10. The piped water is supplied directly from pumps through pipeline (5km). The entire Kari is being supplied from ground water source and has coverage of 40% of town area by distribution system. The present distribution system is with AC pipes having 80 mm to 100 mm diameter. Table 2: Details of existing Distribution system Rising main details Distribution network details 150 mm CI Pipe 80 mm to 100 mm AC Pipe

2. Jeron Khalsa

11. The ground water is the main source of water for the town. There are 7 nos. of tube wells in the town. The ground water map of Madhya Pradesh indicates that ground water table is declining in the district. The present water supply rate in Jeron Khalsa is 0.28 MLD @ 30 LPCD considering transmission losses. At present, water is supplied to an existing OHT of capacity 312 KL having staging height 4.6 m and then distributed to certain areas of the town through existing 12.0 km long AC pipeline having dia. 80 mm - 100 mm. This distribution line was laid about 35 years ago and is in poor condition. This pipeline has gone underneath the ground and also there are leakages at many points. Hence, this distribution line is not considered in this scheme. In the remaining parts of the town where distribution line is not laid, water is supplied through tractor tankers. Apart from tube wells, hand pumps are other source of water supply. About 100 hand pumps exists across the town.

12. At present, water is drawn from 7 municipal tube wells located across the town. Each bore well is fitted with 20 HP submersible pumps. Apart from these tube wells about100 hand pumps exists across the town. Most of these hand pumps gets dry during summer season.

13. At present, there is only 1 Over Head Tank (OHT) of capacity of 312KL and staging height 4.6 m is constructed on hillock in ward no. 1. It is structurally good and has been considered in this scheme.

14. The piped water is supplied directly from pumps through 12 km long AC pipeline having dia. 80 mm - 100 mm. The entire Jeron Khalsa is being supplied from ground water source and has coverage of 50% of town area by distribution system.

3. Lidhora khas

15. The ground water is the main source of water for the town. There are 6 nos. of tube wells in the town. The ground water map of Madhya Pradesh indicates that ground water table is declining in the district. The present water supply rate in Lidhorakhas is 0.40 MLD @ 28 LPCD. At present, water is supplied through the tube wells to an existing 150 KL OHT of 10 m height and then distributed to certain areas of the town through existing AC distribution pipeline having dia. 80 mm - 100 mm. This pipeline is in poor condition and has been discarded in this scheme. Apart from tube wells, tractor tankers and hand pumps are other sources of water supply. About 235 hand pumps exist in Lidhorakhas. During summer, town faces acute drinking water scarcity.

16. At present, water is drawn from 6 nos. of municipal tube wells located across the town. Each tube well is fitted with 20 HP submersible pumps. Apart from these tube wells, an about 235 hand pump exists across the town. Most of these hand pumps gets dry during summer season.

C. Proposed Project

17. As the water table is depleting all over, therefore, now it is not a reliable source for a permanent scheme in all the towns. As part of this project, it is proposed to develop comprehensive water supply schemes in the project towns. A separate scheme for Kari town, and a combined water supply scheme for Jeron Khalsa and Lidhorakhas towns proposed

considering the techno economic feasibility. Proposals include new reliable water sources, water treatment plants, overhead tanks, energy efficient pumping machinery, raw & clear water transmission mains and distribution network covering the whole town. Project will also provide consumer connections with flow meters. Bulk flow meters are proposed at strategic locations to monitor the system performance efficiency.

18. Following Table 4 shows the proposed water supply systems along with nature and size of components in subproject towns. Figure 2 to Figure 8 show the proposed water systems, component layouts etc. 7

III. POLICY, LEGAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE FRAMEWORK

A. ADB Policy

19. 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. “MPUDC/PMU will adhere to necessary protocols in response to emerging infectious diseases such as the corona virus disease, 2019 (COVID-19) consistent with the guidelines of relevant government healthcare agencies and the World Health Organization. “

20. 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.

21. 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.

22. 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

23. 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 EC 19 must 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. 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.

24. 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 5. Table 5: Applicable Environmental Regulations Law Description Requirement Madhya Pradesh Prepared in accordance with the National Water Permission of WRD, State Water Policy, it states that “for environmental balance, GoMP: Policy, 2003 skillful and planned management of all types of • Construction of Weir developmental activities, economic use on and Intake well on equitable basis and in view of the prime Jamni River for Kari importance of water for all human and other living town at Aamghat. beings, an effective and sound water policy is • Rehabilitation and necessary”. repair work on Policy is detailed in 17 sections dealing with existing weir at different aspects of water resources.

The contractor shall provide equal wages and benefits to men and women for work of equal value or type.

25. 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 21 standards such as the World Bank Group’s Environment, Health and Safety Guidelines (IFC’s General EHS Guidelines1 and Sector Specific [Water and Sanitation] Guidelines)2 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: Table 6: WHO Ambient Air& Noise Quality Guidelines

IV. DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT

A. Methodology Used for Baseline Study

26. Data collection and stakeholder consultations. Focused Group Discussion, field visits, site surveys and social surveys were conducted through the different wards covering every section of society was conducted and data collected and analyzed accordingly with respect to the proposed subproject sites and the with respect to the need of water supply in all the six towns here.

27. The survey broadly covered the following:

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

28. 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.

Jamni River: River Jamni flows about 11.50 km away from the town Kari. Jamni River which originates in the district of Sagar in Madhya Pradesh is primarily rain fed and Ephemeral River.As a result, it swells up during the monsoon season and the water level falls down during the summer months. It is one of the important sources of water in the dry areas of Bundelkhand region of Madhya Pradesh. It is a main tributary of the Betwa River and enters Lalitpur District near Madanpur village. This inter-state river flows through Sagar in Madhya Pradesh to enter the district of Lalitpur in Uttar Pradesh and finally crosses over to Tikamgarh again in Madhya Pradesh and meets the Betwa near the town of Orchha.It cuts through Sagar to enter the district of Lalitpur flowing through the forest near the village of Madapur and flows northward direction for the next 45 km and then takes north-easterly bend or turns to the north-east for 6km after leaving the town of Mahroni on the right. For the next 60 km, the river forms the boundary of the district and receives all the west-bound drain of the Tikamgarh district. It finally meets Betwa within Tikamgarh district only The confluence of Jamni and Betwa is at the historical town of Orchha. The Jamni takes care of the irrigation of a large area in this district. Jamni has been dammed with Lalitpur district. Total catchment area in Madhya Pradesh is 1235 km² and total length is 201 km. In Madhya Pradesh the river flows for 29 km, for 85 km river makes boundary between Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh and last 87 km flows in Uttar Pradesh

Important Tributaries of Jamini River are Sajnam, Shahzad and Bargi Rivers. While Sajnam joins it at Chandrawali, Shazad joins it near Hazira village and Bargi river joins it near Bajrangarh. These streams drains enormous volume of water during rains while in other seasons they shrink to narrow channel.

Shahzad an important river flowing by the side of Lalitpur town, has been dammed to make Gobind Sagar reservoir near Lalitpur. Shahzad Dam is located in the outskirts of Lalitpur in Uttar Pradesh. Built in 1992 across the Shahzad River, a tributary of the Jamini River, this dam is a major source for irrigation in Lalitpur District. A main canal of 44 km has been constructed to provide irrigation. It took about 19 years for the completion of this dam. 18 m high and 4160 m long, Shahzad Dam is a major tourist attraction in the region. The famous Govind Sagar Dam is the nearby attraction.

Sajnam has been dammed in Lalitpur district. Sajnam Dam, 13 m high, is constructed across the River Sajnam, a tributary of the Jamni. Situated close to Chandawali in Lalitpur District, this dam is a major irrigation source for the people in this region. Built in 1990, the dam has a length of 4525 m and comes under the earthen group of dams. In order to provide irrigation to about 50 km, a major canal of 38 km has been constructed by the government of Uttar Pradesh. Shahzad Dam is the nearby attraction. The nearest airport is at Gwalior.

V. ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

A. Introduction

30. 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.

31. 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.

32. 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).

33. 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.

34. 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.

35. 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; (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 proposed project components locations are belonging to the government property and existing roads, hence land acquisition and encroachment on private property will not happen in this case.

B. Pre-Construction Impacts – Design & Location

36. Design of the Proposed Components. Technical design of the (i) Weir and intake well, (ii) water treatment plant; (iii) raw water and clear water transmissions mains (iv) overhead tanks, 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) Recovering backwash water from treatment process. (ii) Treatment and disposal management of sludge from treatment process. (iii) Minimizing water losses from pipelines by perfect jointing and alignments using appropriate techniques (iv) Designing the entire system to maintain optimal flow and terminal pressure, and optimising the overall energy usage (v) Reducing the incidence of water borne diseases by providing 100% population including urban poor with potable water supplies (vi) Improve water use efficiency and reduce water wastage at household level by recording and monitoring the water usage, and charging the consumers as per usage; due consideration to urban poor (vii) 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 (viii) Using low-noise and energy efficient pumping systems

C. Water Source Sustainability & Impacts association with water abstraction

1. Jeron Khalsa and Lidhorakhas

37. Source Identification: Jamni River as a water source is identified for proposed water supply scheme for Jeron Khalsa and Lidhorakhas towns.

38. Jamni River: Jamni River is Ephemeral River and the nearest water body for Jeron khalsa and Lidhorakhas towns. Jamni River is a river in northern India. It is a main tributary of the Betwa River and enters Lalitpur District near Madanpur village. It meets Betwa River

near Orchha.

Figure 11: Distance between existing Weir for Kari and Jeron khalsa is 39.8 km

39. Jamni River is the only surface source of water which can be considered as a dependable source to fulfil the present and future demand of the town. Jamni River is about 2.5 km far from Jeron Khalsa. As there is no other reliable source in the vicinity of both Jeron Khalsa & Lidhorakhas, hence a group water supply scheme from Jamni River has been planned for both the towns. There is a 276 m long and 3.0 m high existing weir built by WRD on the bank of Jamni River near milanghat. Jamni river has sufficient flow up to 4 months (July to October) and since the flow diminishes after rainy season, some storage will be required for the remaining period (November to July). Hence, this existing weir has been considered as a storage structure for the non-rainy season. The capacity of the weir need to be increased so that it can store sufficient water to meet the total ultimate water demand (2.98 MLD) of both Jeron Khalsa and Lidhorakhas towns. This can be achieved by increasing the height of the weir by 1.5 m. This existing stop dam needs some repairing work to meet its functional requirements. Gates i.e. shutters need to be installed in the weir, i.e. Existing Weir (proposed for Jeron Khalsa & Lidhora Khas GWSS will be provided with low level sluice gates (just above the dam sill level at the river bed) to allow release of water as and when required. Sluice gates will be closed prior to end of monsoon flows and opened prior to onset of heavy monsoon flows; this arrangement avoids silt accumulation and also prevents obstruction of heavy monsoon flows as shown in drawings annexed as Figure 30 to Figure 31, below. Final water source for Jeron Khalsa & Lidhorakhas WSS Is Jamni River, there is no alternative and reliable source other than Jamni River. Aquatic life is not affected by proposed Weir. Details of existing weirs/dams across River Jamni w.r.t. Existing Weir (Proposed for Jeron Khalsa & Lidhora Khas GWSS are given in the Table 10, below.

40. The proposed yearly water abstraction is 1.0877 MCM, which is just a fraction (about 0.3%) of total yearly water availability in the catchment (i.e.,357.80 MCM). This abstraction is negligible and not likely to have any impacts downstream. There are also no notable water abstraction points or users in the immediate downstream of the proposed weirs. With the construction of proposed weir with a small storage capacity with a fraction of total water 53 availability in the river as stated above, there will be any notable changes in the flow regime is not going to change this flow regime post construction.

41. Source Sustainability for Group water supply scheme (GWSS) for Jeron Khalsa and Lidhorakhas towns: Source is River Jamni. This river is not a perennial river; it is Ephemeral River. As per information gathered from the local authority, the flows for about 4 months, mostly during monsoon and winter seasons, from early July to October. Flow is considerable high during the months July and August; flow is considerably medium in month of September and October; flow reduces significantly in November, and river gets completely dry in January and up to the onset of next monsoon in June. No flow data is available as there is no gauging station on the river. Catchment area for Weir on Jamni River is 2353.97 Sq. Km. Water availability based on catchment area and rainfall analysis is 357.80 MCM. Since flow finishes after the rains, hence a storage reservoir is required for remaining 8 months of the year so that Ultimate demand for both the towns can be fulfilled. The Ultimate Demand of Jerone Khalsa & Lidhora Khas town is 2.98 mld or 1.0877 MCM per year. After looking above facts for selection of water source for group scheme of both the towns, as there is no other reliable source except Jamni River in the vicinity of both Jeron Khalsa & Lidhorakhas, hence a group water supply scheme from Jamni river has been planned for both the towns. There is a 276 m long and 3.0 m high existing weir built by WRD on the bank of Jamni river near milanghat. Jamni river has sufficient flow up to 4 months (July to October) and since the flow diminishes after rains, some storage is required for the remaining period (November to July). Hence, this existing weir has been considered as a storage structure for the non-rainy season. The capacity of the weir need to be increased so that it can store sufficient water to meet the total ultimate water demand (2.98 MLD) of both Jeron Khalsa and Lidhorakhas towns. This can be achieved by increasing the height of the weir by 1.5 m. Gates i.e., shutters need to be installed in the weir. This existing stop dam needs some repairing work to meet its functional requirements. After survey and investigation, it is clear that the total ultimate water demand (2.98 MLD) or 1.087 MCM of both the towns can be fulfilled by increasing the height of the existing weir by 1.5 m and it can be adopted as a common storage reservoir for both the towns. The capacity of the existing weir after increasing its height is 1.169 mcm and it will last upto 31st July at the ultimate stage demand of 1.087 MCM. Hence capacity of weir is sufficient to fulfill the ultimate demand.

42. The water demand for the combine town Jeron Khalsa and Lidorakhas is 2.98 MLD or 1.0877 MCM, while total available water 357.80 MCM (minimum rainfall), based on catchment area and rainfall analysis as shown in Table 12 above. The total requirement is just about 0.3% of the estimated water yield. The above (Table 13 to table 15 & Figure 15) show the data calculation of weir at jamini river for Jeron Khalsa and Lidhorakhas town.

43. Impact on D/S & U/S due to Increasing Height of Existing Weir: The height of weir proposed to meet the water storage requirement, and also considering the height of river banks so as to limit the water storage / submergence to river course (in below figure blue contour line shows the river bed and green shows the submergence area). Therefore, there are no impacts due to submergence. Given the small storage compared to the total volume of water available in the river, no significant impacts envisaged on downstream. Given intermittent nature of rivers, there are no notable sensitive environmental features. There is no notable, protected or unique aquatic life in the river, and the fish is limited to local common species. Existing Weir proposed for GWSS (Jeron Khalsa & Lidhora Khas towns) will be provided with low level sluice gates (just above the dam sill level at the river bed) to allow release of water as and when required. Sluice gates will be closed prior to end of monsoon flows and opened prior to onset of heavy monsoon flows; this arrangement avoids silt accumulation and also prevents obstruction of heavy monsoon flows as shown in drawings annexed as Figure 17, below. As the package is implemented under DBO mode, the detailed design of weir will be conducted by the contractor after award of the contract. Water quality is good and there are no potential pollution sources in 57 the vicinity that could affect the water quality. Necessary precautionary measures are suggested to avoid any impacts.

2. Kari Town WSS

44. Source Identification: Jamni River as a water source is identified for proposed water 1supply scheme for Kari Town.

45. Jamni River: Jamni River is Ephemeral River and the nearest water body for Kari town. Jamni River is a river in northern India. It is a main tributary of the Betwa River and enters Lalitpur District near Madanpur village. It meets Betwa River near Orchha. The Jamni River which originates in the district of Sagar in Madhya Pradesh is primarily rain fed. As a result it swells up during the monsoon season and the water level falls down during the summer months. It is one of the important sources of water in the dry areas of Bundelkhand region of Madhya Pradesh. This inter-state river flows through Sagar in Madhya Pradesh to enter the district of Lalitpur in Uttar Pradesh and finally crosses over to Tikamgarh again in Madhya Pradesh and meets the Betwa near the town of Orchha. It cuts through Sagar to enter the district of Lalitpur flowing through the forest near the village of Madapur. For the next 45km, it flows in the northward direction and turns to the north east for 6km after leaving the town of Mahroni on the right. For the next 60 km, the river forms the boundary of the district and at places it flows close to the Betwa River but does not merge in to it. The Jamni takes care of the irrigation of a large area in this district.

(i) River Jamni flows about 11.50 km away from the town Kari. It has sufficient flow up to end of October and mid of November month. Since flow finishes after the rains, hence a storage reservoir is required for remaining 8 months of the year so that Ultimate demand of the town can be fulfilled. The Ultimate Demand of Kari is 1.56 mld. There is an existing weir at Aamghat which was constructed by WRD. The length and height of Weir are 130 m and 2.5 m respectively. This weir has leakages. Under piping is also visible at 3 to 4 points. Banks are also not stable. Outflanking is imminent. Concrete quality is also not good. Hence this weir is not suitable for the scheme. In this season the whole water leaked through it and it became dry in the month of February. After the survey decided to propose a new Weir approximately 200 m up stream of the present weir. At this section ground elevation is 2 - 3 m higher than the existing weir. The length of the proposed Weir is 160 m and height is 3.5 m. Details of existing weirs/dams across jamni River w.r.t. proposed weir Kari town WSS are given in the Table 16, below.

46. The source Sustainability for of the water supply scheme (WSS) for Kari town is River Jamni. This river is not a perennial river; it is Ephemeral River. As per information gathered from the local authority, the flows for about 4months, mostly during monsoon and winter seasons, from early July to October. Flow is considerable high during the months July and August; flow is considerably medium in month of November to January; flow reduces significantly in January & February months, and river gets completely dry February and up to the onset of next monsoon in June. No flow data is available as there is river no gauging station on the river. Since flow finishes after the rains, hence a storage reservoir is required for remaining 8 months of the year so that Ultimate demand of the town can be fulfilled. The Ultimate Demand of Kari is 1.56 mld or 0.569 MCM per year and water availability based on catchment area and rainfall analysis is 169 MCM. After looking above facts for selection of water source for Kari WSS, there is no alternative and reliable source other than Jamni River. Existing weir at Aamgaht on Jamni river is not in good condition & cannot be used for storage purpose during non-rainy period. Hence a new weir approximately 200 m upstream of the existing weir; 160 long and 3.5 m high is proposed. The capacity of the proposed weir is 0.70 mcm and it will last upto 31st july at the ultimate stage demand of 0.569 MCM. Hence capacity of weir is sufficient to fulfill the ultimate demand.

47. The water demand of Kari town is 1.56 MLD or 0.569 MCM per year, while total available water based on catchment area and rainfall analysis is 169 MCM. The abstraction is just about 0.34 % of water available. There are 14 natural streams/rivers (tributaries) that join Join River in the upstream of proposed Weirs (Refer Table 16, above). All these streams are the natural drains/ small rivers that carry the runoff generated by the rainfall in this catchment area.

48. In the Jamni River at Aamghat there is an existing anicut which was constructed by WRD. The length of the existing Anicut is 130 m and height is 2.5 m. This existing anicut is in deteriorating condition hence a new anicut has been proposed upstream to this anicut.

49. There are several dams and weirs across Jamni River, both upstream and downstream side of the proposed weir. There are 6 (Refer Table 16, above) water retaining structures (existing dams) constructed across Jamni River upstream of the proposed weir sites, and the storage capacities of each of these water retaining structures is not more than 1 MCM except Jamni Reservoir constructed by WRD for irrigation purpose. Storage capacity of this earthen dam / reservoir is 93 MCM with a dam height of 19.18 m. This dam is located about 70 km upstream of proposed weir for Kari, and about 100 km upstream of proposed weir combined scheme of Jaron Khalsa and Lidhorakhas.

50. There are 8 small weirs / check dams between proposed Kari weir and Jaronkhalsa / Lidhrakhas weir, and another 2 weirs downstream of Jaron Khalsa/ Lidhorakhas weir. These are also small structures, and the storage capacities of each of these water retaining structures is not more than 1 MCM

51. Water source sustainability analysis is given in Appendix 8. it is also worthwhile to be mentioned that “water source finalization committee of MPUDC, GoMP has approved the proposed raw water in its 9th meeting held on dated august 31, 2018. This committee is a highest level Apex Body of GoMP comprised of senior level members including hydrologists from Jal Nigam and water Resources Deptt. of govt. of Madhya Pradesh.” The copy of MoM of the said meeting is enclosed in Appendix 8. For NoC from WRD Application has been submitted and it is under process.

52. Impact on D/S & U/S due to Weir Construction: The height of weir proposed to meet the water storage requirement, and also considering the height of river banks so as to limit the water storage / submergence to river course (in below figure blue contour line shows the river bed and red shows the submergence area). Therefore, there are no impacts due to submergence. Given the small storage compared to the total volume of water available in the river, no significant impacts envisaged on downstream. Given intermittent nature of rivers, there are no notable sensitive environmental features. There is no notable, protected or unique aquatic life in the river, and the fish is limited to local common species. Weir will be of solid concrete structure, and will be provided with low level sluice gates (just above the dam sill level at the river bed) to allow release of water as and when required. Sluice gates will be closed prior to end of monsoon flows and opened prior to onset of heavy monsoon flows; this arrangement avoids silt accumulation and also prevents obstruction of heavy monsoon flows as shown in drawings annexed as Figure 22, below. As the package is implemented under DBO mode, the detailed design of weir will be conducted by the contractor after award of the contract. Water quality is good and there are no potential pollution sources in the vicinity that could affect the water quality. Necessary precautionary measures are suggested to avoid any impacts.

Figure 22: Typical Cross section and Plan with and without gate for weir for Kari town.

Figure 23: Submergence area (0.231 Sq.Km.) of proposed Weir

53. Similarly proposed works in the riverbed (for intake) may damage the river bed, lead to degradation of water quality due to increase in turbidity and contamination from fuels and lubricant used in construction work. Increase in silt content and water turbidity, chemical quality can affect the aquatic life. Measures are included in the EMP to avoid, minimize these impacts.

54. Removal of trees and vegetation will be minimize by best alignment and layout planning of facilities, however, this cannot be avoided fully. Appropriate measures in terms of compensatory tree plantation are included in the EMP.

55. 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 ULB will be required to implement appropriate measures. These are given in the EMP.

56. 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

57. 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.

58. Sensitive project locations. There are forest areas around the towns, however, none of the components located in or close to the forest area. This will be further verified and ensured during the detailed design phase. However, as the pipelines are aligned along RoW of roads, there is no need for tree cutting and/or removal of vegetation. During the construction phase, presence of work, vehicles and equipment may create disturbance / damage to the forest areas and wildlife. Measures will be required to avoid any impacts during construction activities near forests. These are given in EMP (Table 9).

D. Construction Impacts

59. 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 all the towns are very narrow and congested with pedestrians and vehicles (mainly 2-wheelers), while the roads in outer areas are wide.

60. Earth work excavation will be undertaken by machine (backhoe excavator) or manually and include danger lighting and using barricades at every 100 m.. 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 1.2 m, 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 excel soil shall be used for construction.

61. 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. The following are anticipated impacts, which are temporary and for short duration:

(i) Dust and air emissions from construction activities and equipment / vehicles affecting the ambient air quality (ii) Impacts on natural drainage, surface water bodies due to disposal of construction waste and silt / chemical laden run off from work areas (iii) Impacts on river eco-system due to river bed construction (iv) Impacts due to disposal of surplus soil, construction waste, debris etc., (v) Impacts due to noise and vibration from consultation activities (vi) Impacts due to collection of groundwater in trenches & disposal of the same (vii) Impact/public inconvenience/ accessibility issues due to excavation on public roads (narrow old town roads), movement of trucks carrying construction material (viii) Impacts on business, activities, people due to loss/restricted access to public/private/business/sensitive areas (schools, hospitals), etc., (ix) Occupation health and safety impacts on workers (x) Health Impacts due to removal of existing AC (asbestos cement) pipes (xi) Community health and safety impacts due to construction in an urban area (xii) Impacts due to establishment/operation of temporary construction camps

62. Construction of weir and intake well in the river Jamni may lead to 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., Jamni River is a non-perennial river and almost run dry during summer season. Though there are no notable aquatic life, to ensure that any negative impacts are mitigation, the contractor will be required to:

o Select a construction methodology that is least disturbing, and appropriate for the in-situ soil condition o 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 concerning authorities on release of water; avoid scheduling the works during water release period. o Erect temporary barriers to form enclosed construction area with least disturbance o 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 73

water should be pumped to a silt pond o Avoid/minimize use of fuels, chemicals and lubricants; ensure no spillage o Clean up the area after the completion & prior to the onset of monsoon flow

63. 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:

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

64. Noise and Vibration Levels. Except water intake and WTP, all the construction works will be conducted at selected sites and along the roads in all the six towns’ urban area and surroundings, where there are houses, schools and hospitals, religious & historical places and small-scale businesses. The sensitive receptors are the general population in these areas. Increase in noise level may be caused by excavation, particularly breaking of cement concrete or bitumen roads, operation of construction equipment like concrete mixers, and the transportation of equipment, materials, and people. 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:

o 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; o Horns should not be used unless it is necessary to warn other road users or animals of the vehicle’s approach; o 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 o Maintain maximum sound levels not exceeding 80 decibels (dBA) when measured at a distance of 10 m or more from the vehicle/s.

o Identify any buildings at risk from vibration damage and avoiding any use of pneumatic drills or heavy vehicles in the vicinity;

65. 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 all the towns groundwater is deeper than the proposed excavation depths, and rains are limited to short duration during 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.

66. 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 area is very narrow. However, most of the roads are used by pedestrians and two wheelers, and 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:

o 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 o Leave spaces for access between mounds of soil; o Provide walkways and metal sheets where required to maintain access across for people and vehicles; o Plan transportation routes so that heavy vehicles do not use narrow local roads, except in the immediate vicinity of delivery sites; o Schedule transport and hauling activities during non-peak hours; o Locate entry and exit points in areas where there is low potential for traffic congestion; o Keep the site free from all unnecessary obstructions; o Drive vehicles in a considerate manner; o 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 o Notify affected public by public information notices, providing sign boards informing nature and duration of construction works and contact numbers for concerns/complaints.

67. 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:

o Inform the affected local population 1-week in advance about the work schedule 75

o Plan and execute the work in such a way that the period of disturbance/ loss of access is minimum. o 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.

68. 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: o Leave spaces for access between mounds of soil; o Provide walkways and metal sheets where required to maintain access across for people and vehicles; o Increase workforce in the areas with predominantly institutions, place of worship, business establishment, hospitals, and schools; o Consult businesses and institutions regarding operating hours and factoring this in work schedules; and o Provide sign boards for pedestrians to inform nature and duration of construction works and contact numbers for concerns/complaints. o Notify community/ water users in advance about likely interruptions in water supply. o Provide alternate sources of clean water until water supply is restored.

69. 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:

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

70. 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:

o Comply with all national, state and local labour laws (see Appendix 10); o IFC’s General EHS Guidelines3 and Sector Specific (Water and Sanitation) Guidelines4

3https://www.ifc.org/wps/wcm/connect/554e8d80488658e4b76af76a6515bb18/Final%2B- %2BGeneral%2BEHS%2BGuidelines.pdf?MOD=AJPERES 4 https://www.ifc.org/wps/wcm/connect/e22c050048855ae0875cd76a6515bb18/Final%2B- %2BWater%2Band%2BSanitation.pdf?MOD=AJPERES

o Develop and implement site-specific occupational health and safety (OH&S) Plan which will include measures such as: (a) excluding public from the site; (b) ensuring 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; o A detailed guidance for Safety from COVID-19 Pandemic during construction works is provided in Appendix 15 - Guideline for Construction work about safety from COVID-19 Pandemic (SOP – Health & Safety Plan). o Ensure that qualified first-aid is provided at all times. Equipped first-aid stations shall be easily accessible throughout the site; o Provide medical insurance coverage for workers; o Secure all installations from unauthorized intrusion and accident risks; o Provide supplies of potable drinking water; o Provide clean eating areas where workers are not exposed to hazardous or noxious substances; o 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; o 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; o Ensure the visibility of workers through their use of high visibility vests when working in or walking through heavy equipment operating areas; o Ensure moving equipment is outfitted with audible back-up alarms; o 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 o 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.

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. 77

71. 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.

72. 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:

o Plan routes to avoid times of peak-pedestrian activities. o Liaise with PIU in identifying risk areas on route cards/maps. o Maintain regularly the vehicles and use of manufacturer-approved parts to minimize potentially serious accidents caused by equipment malfunction or premature failure. o Provide road signs and flag persons to warn of on-going trenching activities.

73. 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:

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

74. 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:

o 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. o Debris disposal site shall be at least 200 m away from surface water bodies6. o No residential areas shall be located within 100 m downwind side of the site. o 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

75. 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.

E. Operation and Maintenance Impacts

76. Operation and Maintenance of the water supply system will be carried out by the DBO Contractor for 10 years, and after which the respective municipalities will operate and maintain the infrastructure. During the system design life (15/30 years 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.

77. 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.

78. 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

F. Project benefits

79. During the construction phase, there are likely to be positive impacts through employment generation, increase in local revenue from the project activities. During the

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. 79 operation phase also, there is potential for employment generation, though limited, as the improved and expanded water infrastructure requires additional workforce.

80. The citizens of Package 6H towns 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 towns 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.

VI. PUBLIC CONSULTATION AND INFORMATION DISCLOSURE

A. Overview

81. The active participation of stakeholders including local community, NGOs/CBOs, and the media in all stages of project preparation and implementation is essential for successful implementation of the project. It will ensure that the subprojects are designed, constructed, and operated with utmost consideration to local needs, ensures community acceptance, and will bring maximum benefits to the people. Public consultation and information disclosure is a must as per the ADB policy.

82. Most of the main stakeholders have already been identified and consulted during preparation of this IEE, and any others that are identified during project implementation will be brought into the process in the future. Primary stakeholders of the subproject are: residents, shopkeepers and businesspeople who live and work alongside the roads in which network improvements will be provided and near sites where facilities will be built (WTP and water tanks), and government and utility agencies responsible for provision of services in all the six towns ,WRD,) and MPPCB, etc.,. Secondary stakeholder are: NGOs and CBOs working in the area, community representatives, beneficiary community in general, government agencies, the executing and implementing agencies (MPUDC, PMU and PIUs), Government of India and the ADB.

B. Public Consultation

83. The public consultation and disclosure program is a continuous process throughout the project implementation, including project planning, design and construction.

1. Consultation during Project Preparation

84. Institutional consultations were conducted with the relevant Governmental Departments such as WRD, PHED, MPPCB etc. The subproject proposals are formulated in consultation with all the Six Nagar Parishad to suit the requirements of the respective towns.

85. Focus-group discussions with affected persons and other stakeholders were conducted to learn their views and concerns. A socio economic household survey has been conducted in the town, covering sample households, to understand the household characteristics, health status, and the infrastructure service levels, and also the demand for infrastructure services. General public and the people residing along the project activity areas were also consulted

during visits to the project sites. Formal town-level consultation meetings were conducted in June 2018 in all the subproject towns. Besides, several other meetings also conducted at ward- level with communities, and at market with street vendors and hawkers. The details of consultation are provided in Appendix 5.

86. The people are willing to extend their cooperation as the activities are proposed to improve the water supply service levels and the living standards. Stakeholder expressed their concern regarding water charges, affordability, disturbance and loss of business due to the work in market area (dust, road closure etc.). The project team explained the proposed mitigation measures to mitigate / minimize such issues.

2. Consultation during construction

87. Prior to start of construction, ULB and PIU with the assistance of PMC 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.

88. 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 PMC 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

89. 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 MPUDC, PMU after approval of the IEE by Government and ADB. Stakeholders will also be made aware of grievance register and redress mechanism.

90. 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. 83

91. 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.

VII. GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM

A. Project Specific Grievance Redress Mechanism

92. 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.

93. Purpose of the GRM Manual:

(i) 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. (ii) 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. Principles: (i) The GRM is based on the following principles and the same shall be used to assess the GRM performance:

(a) Accessibility

94. 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.

Nature and scope of Grievance Redress Mechanism under MPUSIP

(ii) 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. (iii) 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:

VIII. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

A. Implementation Arrangements

105. Urban Development and Housing Department (UDHD) of Government of Madhya Pradesh will be the Executing Agency for the Program, responsible for management, coordination and execution of all activities funded under the loan. Implementing Agency will be the recently established Madhya Pradesh Urban Development Company (MPUDC), a wholly owned subsidiary of GoMP. 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) with flexibility to redeployment depending upon the implementation requirements.

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

107. 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 95 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.

108. 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 build-operate (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.

109. 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.

110. Safeguards. At PMU, there will be two safeguard specialists: (i) Project Officer (Environment) and (ii) Social & Gender Offer, who will responsible for compliance with the environmental and social safeguards in program implementation. PO (Environment) will have overall responsibility in implementation of the investment program as per the Environmental Assessment & Review Framework (EARF) agreed between ADB and the government. At individual subproject level, PO will ensure that environmental assessment is conducted, and a project-specific is prepared and implemented, and the compliance, and corrective actions, if any are reported as required.

B. Environmental Management Plan

111. An environmental management plan (EMP) has been developed to provide mitigation measures to reduce all negative impacts to acceptable levels.

112. 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.

113. 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.

114. 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.

115. For civil works, the contractor will be required to (i) carry out all of the mitigation and monitoring measures set forth in the approved SEP; 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 SEP. The contractor shall allocate budget for compliance with these SEP measures, requirements and actions.

116. The following tables show the potential environmental impacts, proposed mitigation measures and responsible agencies for implementation and monitoring. 97

E. Monitoring and Reporting

120. During the detailed design stage, DBO Contractor should confirm PMU the mobilization of Environmental Expert for IEE update and integrating design stage EMP into designs.

121. Prior to commencement of the works, the contractor will submit a compliance report to PIU that all identified pre-construction mitigation measures as detailed in the EMP are undertaken. Contractor should confirm EHS supervisor is mobilized and EHS coordinators are designated for each town for effective implementation of the EMU. PMU with the assistance of the PMC will review the report and permit commencement of works.

119

122. During construction, results from internal monitoring by the contractor will be reflected in their monthly EMP implementation reports to the PIU. PMU will review and advise contractors for corrective actions if necessary. Quarterly report summarizing compliance and corrective measures taken will be prepared by PMC field team at PIU and submitted to PMU (Appendix 14). During operation, the contractor will conduct management and monitoring actions as per the operation stage EMP, and submit to PMU and ULB a quarterly report on EMP implementation and compliance.

123. Based on monthly & quarterly reports and measurements, PMU will submit to ADB, semi-annual (6-monthly) Environmental Monitoring Reports (EMR). Once concurrence from the ADB is received the report will be disclosed on the MPUDC and PMU websites. 124. ADB will review project performance against the MPUSIP commitments as agreed in the legal documents. The extent of ADB’s monitoring and supervision activities will be commensurate with the project’s risks and impacts. Monitoring and supervising of social and environmental safeguards will be integrated into the project performance management system

F. EMP Implementation Cost

125. Most of the mitigation measures require the contractors to adopt good site practice, which should be part of their normal procedures already, so there are unlikely to be major costs associated with compliance. The costs which are specific to EMP implementation and are not covered elsewhere in the projects are given below. The total costs are estimated at INR 31.50 million, which are to be covered by contractor costs.

IX. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

126. The process described in this document has assessed the environmental impacts of all elements of the Package 6H town’s 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.

127. Potential impacts were identified in relation to location, design, construction and operation of the improved infrastructure. Environmental impacts as being due to the project design or location are not significant. The proposed two water supply schemes (one combined scheme for Jaron Khalsa and Lidhorakhas and the other for Kari town) includes design of new water source with nearest surface water body, that include construction of a new weir across River Jamni for Kari town, just upstream of existing weir, and increase of height of existing weir across Jamni River for the combined scheme. Jamni River is identified as nearest feasible and sustainable source for water supply of project towns. Considering good water availability and very small demand, it is assessed to be unlikely to have any significant issue of source sustainability.

128. Existing weir height is proposed to be increased from 3.0 m to 4.5 m to storage adequate water to meet the demand of two towns of Jaron Khalsa and Lidhorakhas. For Kari town, the existing weir of 2.5 m high is not in good condition and therefore proposed to construct a new weir of height 3.5 m just upstream of the existing weir.

129. Total length of the river is 201 km, and is non-perennial and flows only during part of the year. It flows for about 4months, mostly during monsoon and winter seasons, from early July to October. No flow data is available as there is river no gauging station on the river. Weirs and storage reservoir required for the lean / no flow season. The water demand of Kari town is 1.56 MLD or 0.569 MCM per year, while total available water based on catchment area and rainfall analysis is 169 MCM. The abstraction is just about 0.34 % of water available. The proposed yearly water abstraction for combined scheme of Jaron Khalsa and Lidhorakhas is 1.0877 MCM, which is just a fraction (about 0.3%) of total yearly water availability in the catchment (i.e.357.80 MCM).

130. Considering this negligible proportion of water abstraction, no notable impacts are anticipated in the downstream due to reduction in flow. There are already existing several existing dams/weirs on the river. Construction of a new weir just upstream side of the existing weir and increasing the height will not significantly alter the existing flow regime. Given intermittent nature of river, there are no notable sensitive environmental features. There is no notable, protected or unique aquatic life in the river, and the fish is limited to local common species. At the proposed weir location, the riverbanks are higher than and the proposed weir height. Therefore, the water storage is confined to river course / flood plain, and there is no submergence of lands outside the river. No negative impacts or acquisition of government of private or government lands anticipated.

131. Project area mostly comprises urban areas, agricultural areas of Kari, Jeron Khalsa and Lidhorakhas. None of the project components are located in the forest areas. 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 of construction material, and from the 122 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. As some of the works are conducted in rive, there is a risk of water contamination, river bed damage, etc.. Appropriate measures are suggested.

132. 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. Appropriate measures to deal with backwash water and sludge from WTP is included in the project design. Application and handling of chlorine gas will involve certain risks, and appropriate measures are suggested for safe application. The DBO Contractor will implement the operation stage EMP during contract period.

133. 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.

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

135. The EMP will assist the PMU, PIU, PMC and DBO contractor in mitigating the environmental impacts, and guide them in the environmentally sound execution of the proposed project.

136. A copy of the EMP/approved SEP 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.

137. The project will benefit the general public by contributing to the long-term improvement of water supply systems and community liability in Package 6G towns.

138. 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, the project requires (i) permission of WRD, GoMP for water abstraction from Jamni River, and; (ii) Consent for Establishment (CFE) and Consent for Operation (CFO) for WTPs from MPPCB. These permissions/approvals shall be obtained.

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

Appendix 8: Water Source Sustainability Report The sustainability of source lies in its liableness to cater the yearly demand of the water supply system. It is attempted here to establish with following rationale in its support:

Baseline characteristics: for Kari Water Supply Project Weir Location Latitude - 24°50'59.04"N / Longitude -78°46'28.02"E across River Jamni. River name Jamni River Basin Betwa sub-basin, Ganga basin Catchment area 1112 sq.km. Catchment area Attached as Figure 1, below map Catchment area Predominant Agricultural land with sandy Loam and Loamy clay soil Characteristics Rainfall data Tikamgarh rainfall data referred (Attached as Annexure – 1)

Catchment yield Dicken’s rational formula = Q = C*A^3/4 assessment Constant (C) Constant value for central zone of India (‘C’ lies from 11 to 19) Yield of catchment 2118.22 cum/s (For details Refer Table 1, below) area calculated Water demand 0.57 MCM or 1.56 MLD or 0.018 cum/s Weir Capacity 0.7 MCM

Baseline characteristics: Jeron Khalsa and Lidhora Khas Water Supply Project Weir Location Latitude - 25° 4'20.37"N / Longitude - 78°38'21.40"E across river Jamni. River name Jamni River Basin Betwa sub-basin, Ganga basin Catchment area 2353.97 sq.km. Catchment area Attached as Figure 2, below map Catchment area Predominant Agricultural land with sandy Loam and Loamy clay soil Characteristics Rainfall data Tikamgarh rainfall data referred (Attached as Annexure – 1) Catchment yield Dicken’s rational formula = Q = C*A^3/4 assessment Constant (C) Constant value for central zone of India (‘C’ lies from 11 to 19) Yield of catchment 3717.43 cum/s ((For details Refer Table 2, below) area calculated Water demand 1.087 MCM or 2.98 MLD or 0.035 cum/s Weir Capacity 1.17 MCM

Discussion on Source Sustainability

Availability of sufficient data, to workout the quantity of runoff generated is one of the biggest constraints. The actual rainfall data of the catchment area is not available and there is no rain gauge stations in the said catchment of proposed weirs at Jamni River for Kari water supply project and Jeron Khalsa & Lidhora Khas Group water supply Project. Without time series data on rainfall and its intensity, it is difficult to workout runoff quantity.

Proposed weirs for Kari and Jeron Khalsa & Lidhora Khas Water Supply Projects have 1112 sq.km. and 2353.97 Sq. km. respectively. In the up-streams of both the catchments have 06nos. and 15nos. water 162 retaining structures respectively on Jamni river and the storage capacities of each of these water retaining structures is about 1 MCM which is insignificant looking to the vast catchment area of both the said proposed weirs and may not affect their filling. As per the interactions with the local residents it is informed that all the existing weirs get filled and overflow in every monsoon. Rainfall data available for 44 years for Tikamgarh district which is in the vicinity to the proposed weir catchments of Kari and Jeron Khalsa & Lidhora Khas Water Supply Projects indicate that this region gets 995.8 mm average annual rainfall through which it is inferred that good runoff is generated which may fill proposed weirs in every monsoon and ‘since the annual water demand is very low (0.70 MCM and 1.17 MCM) so, it is inferred that both the proposed weirs will be capable enough to cater the annual demand.’

For sake of an assessment of yield generation in the catchment, Dicken’s rational formula is used with recommended constant’s value for central Zone of India (‘C’ lies from 11 to 19) and it is estimated that the peak discharge of 2118.22cum/sec will be generated in proposed Kari weir catchment and 3717.43 Cum/sec in Jeron Khalsa & Lidhora Khas weir catchment. The values of these peak discharges are huge and looking to the rainfall pattern in the vicinity of the region, feasibility of filling of proposed weirs is very fair.

In continuation to above information, it is also worthwhile to be mentioned that “water source finalization committee of MPUDC, GoMP has approved the proposed raw water in its 9th meeting held on dated august 31, 2018. This committee is a highest level Apex Body of GoMP comprised of senior level members including hydrologists from Jal Nigam and water Resources Deptt. of govt. of Madhya Pradesh.” The copy of MoM of the said meeting is enclosed herewith as Annexure – 2 (Refer S. No. 5, 6 & S. No. 7) for ready reference. For NoC from WRD Application has been submitted and it is under process.

Due to the unavailability of information and data of other water retaining structures situated in the catchment region, due to the different ownerships of various other department, it is difficult to give precise calculations but in perception to above mentioned information and discussion, it is inferred that the said Raw Water Sources, of Kari and Jeron Khalsa & Lidhora Khas Water Supply Projects is sustainable and reliable.

Appendix 11: Sample Outline Traffic Management Plan

A. Principles for TMP around the Water Pipes Construction Sites

1. One of the prime objectives of this TMP is to ensure the safety of all the road users along the work zone, and to address the following issues: (i) the safety of pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists travelling through the construction zone; (ii) protection of work crews from hazards associated with moving traffic; (iii) mitigation of the adverse impact on road capacity and delays to the road users; (iv) maintenance of access to adjoining properties; and (v) addressing issues that may delay the project.

B. Operating Policies for TMP

2. The following principles will help promote safe and efficient movement for all road users (motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians, including persons with disabilities) through and around work zones while reasonably protecting workers and equipment. (i) Make traffic safety and temporary traffic control an integral and high-priority element of project from planning through design, construction, and maintenance. (ii) Inhibit traffic movement as little as possible. (iii) Provide clear and positive guidance to drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians as they approach and travel through the temporary traffic control zone. (iv) Inspect traffic control elements routinely, both day and night, and make modifications when necessary. (v) Pay increased attention to roadside safety in the vicinity of temporary traffic control zones. (vi) Train all persons that select, place, and maintain temporary traffic control devices. (vii) Keep the public well informed. (viii) Make appropriate accommodation for abutting property owners, residents, businesses, emergency services, railroads, commercial vehicles, and transit operations.

3. Figure A2 to Figure A12illustrates the operating policy for TMP for the construction of water pipes and the sewers along various types of roads.

C. Analyze the impact due to street closure

4. Apart from the capacity analysis, a final decision to close a particular street and divert the traffic should involve the following steps:

(i) approval from the ULB/Public Works Department (PWD) to use the local streets as detours;

174

(ii) consultation with businesses, community members, traffic police, PWD, etc, regarding the mitigation measures necessary at the detours where the road is diverted during the construction; (iii) determining of the maximum number of days allowed for road closure, and incorporation of such provisions into the contract documents; (iv) determining if additional traffic control or temporary improvements are needed along the detour route; (v) considering how access will be provided to the worksite; (vi) contacting emergency service, school officials, and transit authorities to determine if there are impacts to their operations; and (vii) developing a notification program to the public so that the closure is not a surprise. As part of this program, the public should be advised of alternate routes that commuters can take or will have to take as result of the traffic diversion.

5. If full road-closure of certain streets within the area is not feasible due to inadequate capacity of the detour street or public opposition, the full closure can be restricted to weekends with the construction commencing on Saturday night and ending on Monday morning prior to the morning peak period.

Figure A1: Policy Steps for the TMP

D. Public awareness and notifications

175

6. As per discussions in the previous sections, there will be travel delays during the constructions, as is the case with most construction projects, albeit on a reduced scale if utilities and traffic management are properly coordinated. There are additional grounds for travel delays in the area, as most of the streets lack sufficient capacity to accommodate additional traffic from diverted traffic as a result of street closures to accommodate the works. 7. The awareness campaign and the prior notification for the public will be a continuous activity which the project will carry out to compensate for the above delays and minimize public claims as result of these problems. These activities will take place sufficiently in advance of the time when the roadblocks or traffic diversions take place at the particular streets. The reason for this is to allow sufficient time for the public and residents to understand the changes to their travel plans. The project will notify the public about the roadblocks and traffic diversion through public notices, ward level meetings and city level meeting with the elected representatives.

8. The PIU will also conduct an awareness campaign to educate the public about the following issues:

(i) traffic control devices in place at the work zones (signs, traffic cones, barriers, etc.); (ii) defensive driving behaviour along the work zones; and (iii) reduced speeds enforced at the work zones and traffic diversions.

9. It may be necessary to conduct the awareness programs/campaigns on road safety during construction.

10. The campaign will cater to all types of target groups i.e. children, adults, and drivers. Therefore, these campaigns will be conducted in schools and community centres. In addition, the project will publish a brochure for public information. These brochures will be widely circulated around the area and will also be available at the PIU, and the contractor's site office. The text of the brochure should be concise to be effective, with a lot of graphics. It will serve the following purpose:

(i) explain why the brochure was prepared, along with a brief description of the project; (ii) advise the public to expect the unexpected; (iii) educate the public about the various traffic control devices and safety measures adopted at the work zones; (iv) educate the public about the safe road user behaviour to emulate at the work zones; (v) tell the public how to stay informed or where to inquire about road safety issues at the work zones (name, telephone, mobile number of the contact person; and (vi) indicate the office hours of relevant offices.

176

E. Install traffic control devices at the work zones and traffic diversion routes

11. The purpose of installing traffic control devices at the work zones is to delineate these areas to warn, inform, and direct the road users about a hazard ahead, and to protect them as well as the workers. As proper delineation is a key to achieve the above objective, it is important to install good traffic signs at the work zones. The following traffic control devices are used in work zones:

• Signs • Pavement Markings • Channelizing Devices • Arrow Panels • Warning Lights

12. Procedures for installing traffic control devices at any work zone vary, depending on road configuration, location of the work, construction activity, duration, traffic speed and volume, and pedestrian traffic. Work will take place along major roads, and the minor internal roads. As such, the traffic volume and road geometry vary. The main roads carry considerable traffic; internal roads in the new city areas are wide but in old city roads very narrow and carry considerable traffic. However, regardless of where the construction takes place, all the work zones should be cordoned off, and traffic shifted away at least with traffic cones, barricades, and temporary signs (temporary “STOP” and “GO”).

13. Figure A2 to Figure A6 illustrates a typical set-up for installing traffic control devices at the work zone of the area, depending on the location of work on the road way, and road geometrics: • Work on shoulder or parking lane • Shoulder or parking lane closed on divided road • Work in Travel lane • Lane closure on road with low volume • Street closure with detour

14. The work zone should take into consideration the space required for a buffer zone between the workers and the traffic (lateral and longitudinal) and the transition space required for delineation, as applicable. For the works, a 30 cm clearance between the traffic and the temporary STOP and GO signs should be provided. In addition, at least 60 cm is necessary to install the temporary traffic signs and cones.

15. Traffic police should regulate traffic away from the work zone and enforce the traffic diversion result from full street closure in certain areas during construction. Flagggers/

177

personnel should be equipped with reflective jackets at all times and have traffic control batons (preferably the LED type) for regulating the traffic during night time.

16. In addition to the delineation devices, all the construction workers should wear fluorescent safety vests and helmets in order to be visible to the motorists at all times. There should be provision for lighting beacons and illumination for night constructions.
