2.3 Social and environmental capacity assessment of the PIU/ Sponsor and PIA/Beneficiary

Environmental capacity: Engie evolves in a world where environmental issues are multiplying. Risks related to climate change, overexploitation of natural resources including water, biodiversity loss and air pollution are central concerns for the Group and the resilience of its activities. Environment is one of the key CSR issues for Engie. It is committed to identifying its impacts on the environment, implementing action plans to avoid, reduce and, if necessary, compensate them while optimally managing the resources at its disposal. The environment covers multiple dimensions such as: • Climate change, in particular the global warming of the atmosphere and oceans but also the increase in frequency and intensity of extreme climatic events. • Change in the atmosphere with increased emissions of greenhouse gases. • The management of water resources whether it is fresh, drinkable or wastewater treatment or wastewater. • Biodiversity management in different environments or territories potentially impacted by their activities. • The management of air quality and the issues of green mobility. • The more general problem of intelligent management of all resources consumed and waste produced for a circular economy.

Social capacity: • Engaging with civil society • organising training programmes and support for business units • establishing a CSR marketing approach • regulatory changes and changing expectations in society • Engie group is doing more to help overcome the challenges faced by businesses and wider society. Its work is intensifying in three areas: enhanced dialogue with stakeholders in every area of its business, human rights in a globalized economy, and the increased responsibility companies bear towards their upstream (suppliers) and downstream (customers) supply chains. ENGIE considers these issues to be risks that could turn into problems but also, and perhaps more importantly, as opportunities to see their business grow through more responsible and sustainable methods.

3 ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACTS OF PROJECT

3.1 E&S categorization and rationale

AIIB’s Categorization

The Bank determines the Project’s category by the category of the Project’s component presenting the highest environmental or social risk, including direct, indirect, cumulative and induced impacts, as relevant, in the Project area. The projects are screened on the following categories:

Category A Projects: A Project is categorized A if it is likely to have significant adverse environmental and social impacts that are irreversible, cumulative, diverse or unprecedented. These impacts may affect an area larger than the sites or facilities subject to physical works and may be temporary or permanent in nature.

Category B Projects: A Project is categorized B when: it has a limited number of potentially adverse environmental and social impacts; the impacts are not unprecedented; few if any of them are irreversible or cumulative; they are limited to the Project area; and can be successfully managed using good practice in an operational setting;

Category C Projects: A Project is categorized C when it is likely to have minimal or no adverse environmental and social impacts. The Bank does not require an environmental and social assessment, but does require the Client to conduct a review of the environmental and social implications of the Project;

Category FI Projects: A Project is categorized FI if the financing structure involves the provision of funds to or through a financial intermediary (FI) for the Project.

With respect to the intensity of impacts due to project activities on environment, resources, biodiversity, labours and community, the project can be categorized as Category B (as per AIIB’s Safeguard Categorization of projects), which specifies that project is expected to have limited number of potentially adverse environmental and social impacts and the impacts are not unprecedented which can be mitigated by adopting suitable mitigating measures

3.2 Environmental impacts • Based on data from the Central Ground Water Board the project area falls under “Safe” ground water zone. Water tankers will be utilized for water sourcing. Project proponent to ensure water procurement from authorized vendor/ or have a valid water purchase agreement. Major water body Thamirabarani river is located within 6-8 km from SECI 4 Project Site. However, the project proponent sources construction water from the water tankers (monthly water purchase receipts to be provided to Arcadis shortly as promised my Site Representative) while drinking water from the packaged drinking water supplier for all. • As informed by plant personnel, no ground water due to plant operation will be drawn during operation/ construction phase for any purpose. So, lowering of groundwater table is not likely to be an environmental impact. In addition, it is recommended as a best practice measure, rainwater harvesting should be implemented at proposed Site to conserve storm water and help in recharge of ground water. • Since water demands during the operation phase will be met through usage of tankers and water bottles, and groundwater resources will not be affected during the operation phase, the overall significance of impacts on water availability due to operational activities is assessed as negligible.

• No Pre-construction DPR is present. The google-earth imagery with WTGs’ co-ordinates was shared with Arcadis. As confirmed by Engie, as far as storm water drainage is concerned, PSS has well developed drainage system. However, WTG location won’t have storm water drainage system. • As the land procurement and planning of construction is executed prior to construction activity, the amount of land where land use pattern will be affected is known before hand and mostly will be change across the lifecycle of the project. • The main land use for the WTG locations is primarily private land which is either mono crop land or barren land or as grazing land for livestock, therefore the land resource sensitivity is assessed to be medium. On day of site visit total 103 WTG locations had been finalized with approx. 4.2 acres of land provided for each WTG and 10 acres extra for construction of PSS. The acquired/ to be acquired land is completely private land ownership. • Soil is used for agricultural activities, Therefore, the impact magnitude and resource sensitivity are assessed as medium. Also, considering that the project site falls near a coastal area and experiences rainfall during the monsoon season (>500 mm/year), the impact significance of soil erosion is considered to be moderate and the residual impact significance is considered to be minor. • Soil testing of all the finalized WTG locations have been done and provided to Arcadis for review. Hence, the proposed land is feasible, and the soil is good for the development of wind power project. Water quality tests had also been conducted and water tests report has been submitted to Arcadis for review. • As waste will be generated during the construction and decommissioning phases at labour camps and project office canteen/resting facilities, along with hazardous waste being generated due to use of oils and fuels, the sensitivity is assessed as medium during the construction phase. Based on the above, after incorporating the embedded control, the residual impact significance is considered to be minor. As per Site representative, one approved Hazardous Waste Management vendor (approved under State Pollution Control Board) has been contracted for collection and proper disposal (quotation with the vendor has been shared with Arcadis). • Since there are no WTGs with receptors within 500 m (location of 20 WTGs which had receptors within 500 meters during ESIA study were changed) which will be affected by the impact on air due to the construction activities, the receptor sensitivity has been assessed as minor. The impact on air quality will be local and short-term, restricted to the construction period based on that the overall impact assessment is assessed to be minor. Based on the above the impact after incorporating the embedded control the impact significance is considered to be minor. DG stack monitoring in done and the report is provided to Arcadis and the results complies to the Standards. • Given the guidelines of 30 hours or less per year is considered to be acceptable, the operation of the wind farm theoretically results in shadow flicker impacts that could be considered as significant for the purposes of this study. As per the results in ESIA study it shows that theoretical shadow flickers impact in real case scenario occur at 1 shadow receptor out of total 76 receptors identified within the 500 m zone around the WTGs, whereas in the worst case scenario 11 shadow receptors would be affected. In the real case scenario, maximum shadow flicker would occur at receptor located close to the wind turbine #027, with a maximum of 51:03 hr/year. All other receptors would have shadow flicker less than 30:00 hr/year in real case scenario. Considering the small impact magnitude for 1 receptor and negligible for all other receptors, the impact significance is minor to negligible. Having said that, it is important to note that all those WTG locations which had receptors within 500 meters range were shifted to new locations (new location co-ordinates and kmz map has been shared with Arcadis and provided in the report in the following sections).

• As seen in the ESIA report provided, during the ESIA study there are 20 settlements/structures within a 500m radius of the WTGs leading to noise levels to increase near those settlement during the construction phase. The noise levels will likely increase at other settlements as well when vehicles and heavy earth machinery that are associated with the project utilise village roads (both bituminous and non-bituminous) to get to the WTG locations. Therefore, the impact magnitude is considered to be medium. Taking the above facts into account, the overall impact significance for ambient noise levels during the construction phase has been assessed to be moderate. Having said that, it is important to note that all those WTG locations which had receptors within 500 meters range were shifted to new locations (new location co-ordinates and kmz map has been shared with Arcadis). Based on the above, after incorporating the mitigation measures the residual impact significance is assessed to be minor. • In concern to ecological impacts, the flora found in the region is dominated by Prosopis and Acacia, which are dry climate specialists and found across the country. No threatened or protected flora was found in the 5 km study area. The footprint of the Project site, however, is dominated by barren land, agricultural land and some bush scrub. Large mature trees are limited to homestead plantations around existing villages and will be largely left alone, as understood based on consultations with the site staff. The existing Reserve Forests will not be impacted by the proposed wind farm and mature trees located immediately outside the sanctuary boundaries are not going to be cleared for the Project. As the mature trees will be minimally affected by the proposed vegetation clearance and there are no threatened, near threatened or data deficient species found in the 5 km study area that will be directly impacted by the vegetation clearance, the habitat sensitivity has been assessed as low. The species sensitivity has also been assessed as low because only Least Concern (LC) species will be directly impacted by the vegetation clearance. The loss of the trees will not be occurring and will not have a significant effect on the viability of the habitat because agricultural land has been preferred for the Project siting. No tree clumps or forest land is going to be impacted by the Project. • During ESIA study, it is being seen in the furnished report that the avifaunal species sensitivity has been assessed as medium due to the presence of near threatened and protected species. Therefore, for the entire stretch of project, Bird & Bat Mortality Survey has been carried out for the year 2018-2019 for all three seasons. The report for the same is to be submitted to Arcadis for assessment shortly. Based on the Interim Report and as per interaction, Impact on avian biodiversity is going to be minimal as the project developer has implemented adaptive measures like: (1) Till date 1200 no’s of Bird diverters has been installed in EHV (230kv TL) of 35 Km to avoid bird Collison with the conductor; (2) Till date 3000 no’s of Perch rejecters has been installed in 33 kv line cut point to avoid bird Collison with energized line. This is specially being ensured to discourage perching of peacocks which are found fairly often in and around the Site. • As per confirmation from Site Representative and as per visual inspection of the Site, no ecological sensitive area like National Park and Wildlife sanctuary exists within the study area (10 km around project site) and sites are not reported to be falling along the migrant route of any threatened/protected wildlife • During site assessment it was seen that there is no archaeological important site, protected by Archeological Survey of India or from the State Government in and around the site. (geographical coordinates of all the final WTG locations procured and finalized till date has been shared with Arcadis assessors along with the kmz map. • In ESIA report it was mentioned that a solar power plant is within 500 m from Site, but the same WTG location has been changed to avoid being in its vicinity as confirmed by Site personnel.

3.3 Social impacts • As Corporate Social Activities it is recommended to M/s. Engie to support the CSR initiatives that should be implemented in the project affected villages; activities such as development and improvement of the educational and medical facilities in the area wherever necessary. • Labours are subcontracted under Vestas. Project proponent has also ensured the welfare facilities for the workers such as drinking water, labour accommodation, medical tie up, ambulance facility etc. • The project creates job opportunities for local people. The impact significance can be termed as “Positive”. To the extent feasible, preference is given to local population for employment opportunities especially for unskilled activities. Unskilled and semi-skilled labours are hired from the nearby villages. Whereas skilled labours and engineers are migratory. Contractors are made aware of all its policies for labour requirements and have been duly incorporated in their contracts prior to the starting of the project. Engie with the help of Vestas monitors the implementation of the policies on regular basis. • Engie with Vestas should conduct internal audits as and when required to monitor the performance of contractor. • For the entire 252 MW project, there are total 126 locations for WTG. For every 126 WTG locations 4.2 acres of land is taken into consideration. On day of site visit total 103 WTG locations had been finalized with approx. 4.2 acres of land provided for each WTG and 10 acres extra for construction of PSS. The acquired/ to be acquired land is completely private land ownership. The land type is agricultural, monocrop and also barren land (govt circle rate varies from 1 lakh to 8 lakh per acre according to land type and village). Out of 103 WTG locations, 68 locations hand been purchased, and 35 locations had been acquired on lease basis for a period of 29 years (money had been paid for the entire lease period). For every piece of land that had been acquired compensation which is higher than the govt circle rate had been provided. • Land Sale Consideration receipt signed by landowner in stamp paper is procured by developer to rule out any misleading or unfair practice by land aggregators (if any). M/s Vestas ensures locals will be given priority of employment over migrant workers. Thus, the proposed project does not involve loss of livelihood. • Grievance Registers has been kept for the internal as well as external stakeholders and they raise their grievance in these registers. Till date they have received 14 no of grievances and out of which they have closed all 14. In the month of November 2019, they had received one grievance. • Cumulative impact during full operation stage should be studied in greater details due to presence of various other developers like Vestas, Gamesha, GE etc • In total there are 17 sub-contractors, who provide labours for civil, mechanical, electrical, vehicle, guest house, security and generator set. The payment of the labours is done by the subcontractor and the record for the same is being maintained by M/s Vestas. As informed wage is according to the govt norms. Daily working hours for the labours is 8 hrs. There are total 88 security guards involved in the project at present and 350-450 labours on average during construction and as per need. Total number of workmen/ labours involved in the project Site which includes Engie, Vestas, security and daily labours is 644 in number at present. • As per the conducted stakeholder consultation during our site visit (land aggregators and few land sellers) land had been procured from General category, Backward Class, Most Backward

14 ESDD of 252 MW Wind Power Project in Thoothukudi district, Tamil Nadu State, India

Class, Scheduled Castes and few Scheduled tribes' people (non-indigenous group). It was informed that few project villages have SC & ST Population in major percentage (i.e. 70% of the population but majorly they are converted Christians) who have willingly sold their land for the project and all have got compensation of three to five times of the then government circle rate. In the consultation it was reflected that they are happy with the compensation amount and the area’s economy is also lifting up. Their alternate source of livelihood is small business, private company workers, agriculture and daily wage labours. Landless people in the project villages were only 10% of the population on an average. As of yet, no social risks are envisaged;

3.4 OHS and Community Health and Safety Construction Phase:

(A) Occupational Health & Safety Hazards for workers Occupational Health and safety hazard associated with project activities (during construction and operational phase) in wind power plant are identified as follows:

• Working at height: The maintenance activities for the turbines such as turbine service and repair will involve working at heights (≥ 2m). The workers engaged in such activities may fall or slip from the scaffolding or ladders which may result in minor injuries such as muscle sprain or major ones such as ligament tear, fractures, haemorrhage depending on the height at which they are working. • Electrical/ Fire Hazards: Turbine maintenance activities like motor/wire repairing will involve electrical work. The workers involved in such activities are susceptible to risks viz., electrical shocks, electrical burns, and fire and/or explosion hazards. Some of the risks are identified below: • Eye injuries: Retina damage due to flash or sparks emanating from the welding arc • Electrical shocks: Such incidents can occur when the fixing equipment in operation by the workers come in contact with live power lines etc. In some cases, it may lead to electrocution of the worker(s) involved in such works. • Electrical burns: They occur when the skin comes in contact with live power lines etc. The severity of the burn depends on voltage, current, time of contact etc. The burns can be classified as low voltage, high voltage, flash, flame, arc and oral burns depending on the factors. • Fire and/or explosion hazard: These can occur due to short-circuiting of power lines. The injuries can range from burns to death of the workers involved in the work. Facilities like drinking water, separate kitchen, fans, beds, toilets and power supply has been provided to the workers/labours in the labour accommodation set up in the project site.

Housing space: Adequate housing space for labours has been provided. As per International Labour Organisation (ILO) standards, the floor area of workers’ sleeping rooms should not be less than 7.5 square metres in rooms accommodating two persons, if a room accommodates more than four persons, the floor area should be at least 3.6 square metres per person. It is found that the labour camp complies to the standard given by ILO for labour accommodation.

Sanitation facilities for contract labourers: Proper functional toilets have been provided in the labour camp. The disposal of wastewater is managed by the septic tanks and soak pits constructed in the camp.

(B) Other Hazards

ESDD of 252 MW Wind Power Project in Thoothukudi district, Tamil Nadu State, India

The workers involved in activities such as loading and unloading of turbine components (spare components or discarded ones), crane operation (to move damaged components), storage and placing of turbine components etc. are susceptible to risks viz., physical injuries and trip/ fall hazards.

• Physical injuries: These can occur when workers involved in loading/unloading activities don’t adhere to proper ergonomics discipline. Injuries like muscle strain, ligament tear, slip disc can occur which may prove to be fatal. • Trip and fall hazards: The injuries are like those discussed under working at height. They occur when workers trip over/fall when debris etc. lies in the walkway/ passages. • Accident/ injury due to vehicle collision/ slip along terrain: Such incidents can occur during transportation of damaged or spare turbine components. • Electromagnetic field impact on workers: Magnetic fields result from the flow of electric current and increase in strength as the current increases, this can occur during laying of transmission lines. Considering the distribution of impact as within site, short duration and moderate intensity, the impact can be termed as Moderate during construction phase. Mitigation Measures:

Provide and ensure wearing of personal protective equipment’s such as gloves, helmets, ear plug, and safety belt.

• Ensure effective work permit system for critical activities such as electrical work and civil work. • Prepare emergency communication system and emergency preparedness plan. • Ensure proper sanitation facilities. • All work at height to be undertaken with sufficient illumination; Work permit system should be implemented for working at height (typically when working over 2 m above) and for hot jobs; etc. • Prior to undertaking work, integrity of structures should be inspected; Fixtures should be installed on tower components to facilitate the use of fall protection systems; • use of fall protection measures should be engaged for work at height; • Safety incidents should be recorded and monitored. • Wind turbines should be equipped with earthing system; • The substation should be provided with fire extinguishers and sand buckets at all strategic locations to deal with any incident of fire. • Access to areas containing exposed electrical equipment should be enclosed and posted with warning signs. • Documentation of the construction safety manual should be included in the contracts signed with the EPC and sub-contractors. Engie at its corporate level has formulated Emergency Preparedness plan to deal with health and safety issues during project life cycle of a wind farm. Emergency Preparedness and Plan for On-Site Emergencies: the plan has defined nature of emergencies that can be encountered during operation of a wind farm. Requirements of an Emergency Control Centre (ECC), firefighting facilities and medical facilities has also been detailed out. Roles and Responsibilities of personnel at site, communication channel to be followed, and procedures for different emergencies have also been detailed. Engie should ensure that all its hired contractors should abide by the requirements of plan formulated like undertaking mock drills, identification of first aiders and fire fighters, display of emergency numbers onsite etc. It was observed that Engie &Vestas implements all OHS requirements on Site.

5.2 Regulatory required monitoring and reporting requirements Monitoring is one of the most important components of a management system. Continuous monitoring needs to be carried out for regulatory requirements, to monitor the environmental quality and to determine performance of proposed mitigation measures. Monitoring indicators have been developed for each of the activity considering the mitigation measures proposed. Indicators have been developed for ascertaining the environmental quality and the performance of the EMP implementation through Environmental Quality Indicators (EQI’s) and Environmental Performance Indicators (EPI’s) respectively. This focuses not only on quantifying or indexing activity-environment interactions but also may potentially impact the environment. At the same time, it also helps in comparing different components of environmental quality against previously established baseline status. Monitoring results would be documented, analysed and reported internally to Head- EHS Engie.

An environmental monitoring program with parameters and frequency location are given in the ESIA report shall be followed.

9 RECOMMENDATIONS

• Recommended to have proper bituminous/ concrete approach road to the site office/ Control Room and Pooling Substation. • Proper storage and disposal of waste& hazardous materials, scraps and empty containers needs to be taken care of. • Recommended to have agreement with CPCB/ SPCB authorized/ listed hazardous waste recycler to safely dispose of any little hazardous waste generated at Site. However, this project being a white category project, it does not call for a mandatory statutory compliance to do it but as per Arcadis’s Consultation with Central Pollution Control Board, it would be a proactive approach and good practice so as to rule out any objections in future regarding any waste oil/ transformer oil/ O&M waste generated in site. • For the entire stretch of project, Bird & Bat Mortality Survey has been carried out for the year 2018- 2019 for all three seasons. Few of the report recommendations have already been implemented at Site. Monitoring of the same need to be taken care of and adhered strictly to avoid bird and bat mortality as much as possible. • Maintain the Environmental and Social Management Plans as per identified in the ESIA • Implement the environmental and social management system ("ESMS") • Include relevant ESMPs requirements in contracts/subcontracts (in particular OHS requirements) - define ESHS responsibilities • Maintain good Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Management practice in line with national legislation and AIIB Standards. • As a best practice, Company can develop and document a decommissioning program in line with national laws and AIIB Standards IFC PSs with stated impacts, objectives & targets and Management actions; this will help to have a better understanding and documenting Management for Decommissioning & Closure. • Overall during public interviews, Arcadis got assured that villagers of the project villages are happy with the Project in terms of local economic development, livelihood upliftment and job creation. • ESAP is already implemented at Site as per IFC Standards.
