Emergency Action Plan for KALLAR March 2021
KALLAR DIVERSION WEIR
DISCLAIMER
This is a Tier I EAP document prepared based on Dam Break Analysis carried out using the digital elevation model (DEM) derived from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) global digital surface model (DSM) dataset with a horizontal resolution of approximately 30meters (1 arc-sec). Every effort has been taken to estimate the severity of flooding and inundation areas likely to be affected by failure of Kallar Diversion Weir. These estimates are based on available primary and secondary data. Every effort has been made to foresee varied emergency possibilities and develop appropriate notification procedures for timely rescue and relief operations. However, implementation of the Emergency Action Plan (EAP) involves many agencies, who are required to work in a coordinated manner to reduce the consequences of the emergency triggered by the dam site condition. Effectiveness of the rescue and relief operations depend on many factors including the adequacy and accuracy of the estimation of the severity of flooding, coordinated efforts of all the agencies involved in rescue and relief efforts and availability of facilities like power, telephones, road communications, etc. EAP Developer may therefore, not be held responsible for the efficacy of the EAP.

8. EMERGENCY DETECTION, EVALUATION, AND CLASSIFICATION
8.1. Emergency Detection
8.1.1. Situations Many dam conditions can lead to emergency situations, not all of which will require the implementation of the EAP. However, if any of them occur, the appropriate actions must be taken. Annexure 4 of this EAP shows the most common emergency situations that may emerge in Kallar Weir and appurtenances, of the Idukki Hydro Electric Project, along with the corresponding specific actions to be done by each of the dam‘s officials. Some of these emergency situations are summarized as follows: - Severe Storms/Inclement Weather: Although generally not in themselves a threat to the Weir, severe storms and other inclement weather conditions can contribute to an existing problem and hinder any remediation efforts. Severe storms also cause the uncontrolled release of floodwater, and increase flow in already rain-swollen areas.
- Tropical cyclones: Tropical cyclones do occur in the area, with the potential for structural damage to the dam, possibly resulting in its failure. If a tropical cyclone has struck in the area, an inspection of the weir for any signs of damage will be appropriate.
- Earthquakes: Kallar Weir is located in the Seismic Zone Number III. Therefore, an earthquake is a possibility, and appropriate post-earthquake inspections should be performed.
- Sabotage: Appropriate actions must be taken to protect the Weir in case of any attempt for sabotage has been made. 8.1.2. Signs of Failure Dam Site Engineers in coordination with the Executive Engineer (Dam Safety Division, Vazhathoppe) are responsible for conducting routine inspections and identifying conditions that could indicate the onset of problems leading to a dam failure. The early identification of potentially dangerous conditions can allow time for the implementation of the EAP. The following sections describe some of the different types of failure which could lead to a dam failure.
- Seepage Failure: Piping can occur for years at a slow rate. If the piping has progressed to a dangerous level, it will be evident by increased flow or the discharge of muddy water (or both). At that stage, immediate action to stop the piping is needed. Fully developed piping is difficult to control and is very likely to result in failure. A whirlpool in the reservoir is a sign of uncontrollable piping and necessitates immediate emergency action. - Foundation Sliding: Sliding is usually first apparent when cracks or bulges in the embankment appear. Slides with progressive movement can cause failure of the structure.
Page 19
Emergency Action Plan for KALLAR March 2021
- Structural Failure: The structural failure or collapse of any non-overflow portion of the weir, spillway or spillway gates could result in loss of the reservoir. A structural failure of a portion of the spillway could cause piping and possibly embankment failure. - Overtopping Failure: Overtopping of the embankment results in erosion of the dam crest. Once erosion begins, it is very difficult to stop.
8.2. Emergency Evaluation and Classification
This section lists the conditions and actions which may be used to classify the level of emergency response, as a guide for the Emergency Planning Manager. Specific Weir observations and corresponding emergency classification levels can be found in Annexure 4, along with appropriate and recommended actions to follow in each case.
8.2.1 Internal Alert Condition BLUE – ‘Watch condition’. A problem has been detected at the Weir that requires constant monitoring. At this time, the distress condition is manageable by dam personnel. The Emergency Planning Manager along with the support of site engineers will be responsible for monitoring and repair as soon as possible and implementing the appropriate Notification Flowchart. The following is a list of conditions that would initiate this condition:
- Cloudy or dirty seepage or seepage with an increase in flow, boils, piping, or bogs - Large sinkholes with corresponding seepage anywhere on the embankment or downstream from the toe. - Any slide that degrades the crest of the embankment or that is progressively increasing in size. - Cracking or movement of any concrete structure. - An increase in the reservoir level leading to engagement of the emergency spillway. - Exceptionally heavy rainfall in the catchment of the Weir reservoir.
8.2.2 External Alert Condition ORANGE – This is indicative of a Weir condition that is progressively getting worse; and there is a high probability of Weir failure. Although there is no immediate danger, the Weir could fail if conditions continue to deteriorate. The Emergency Planning Manager will be responsible for initiating immediate repairs, including lowering the reservoir if appropriate and implementing the appropriate Notification Flowchart. The following is a list of conditions that would initiate this condition:
- Any spillway‘s release matching with an ORANGE alert in accordance with the Annexure 4. - Large boils, increasing in size and flow rate, especially if there is flowing muddy water - Significantly increasing seepage, especially flowing muddy water - Slides involving a large mass of material that impairs the crest of the Weir and is continuing to move
Page 20
Emergency Action Plan for KALLAR March 2021
- Sinkholes with seepage flowing muddy water - Large cracks, movement or failure of a portion of any major concrete structure that forms an integral part of the Weir - An increase in the reservoir level to near the top of the Weir - Overtopping of a Weir that is not designed for overtopping - Near to ‘Design Flood’ inflow forecast.
8.2.3 External Alert Conditions RED – These are ‘failure’ conditions. Either the Weir is in immediate danger of failing or has already failed. No time remains to implement measures to prevent failure. Evacuate immediately. Evacuation efforts will continue until the situation is stabilized. The Emergency Planning Manager is responsible for implementing the appropriate Notification Flowchart. The following is a list of conditions that would initiate ―imminent Weir failure or ―dam failure conditions:
- Any spillway‘s release matching with a RED alert in accordance with the Annexure 4. - Rapidly increasing boils or the presence of new, significantly flowing boils, particularly muddy ones near previously identified ones - Rapidly increasing seepage, especially flowing muddy water - Slides involving a large mass of material or which have degraded the crest of the embankment to a level that approaches the water surface level, or if significant seepage is observed through the slide area - Settlement that is predicted to degrade to the reservoir level - Cracks that extend to the reservoir level - Significant movement or failure of any structure that forms an integral part of the Weir - Uncontrollable release of the reservoir
8.3. Previously Known Problems
Automated water level recorded is needed. Early warning system is to be in place.
Page 21
Emergency Action Plan for KALLAR March 2021
9. PREPAREDNESS Preparedness actions are to be taken both before and following the development of emergency conditions and should identify ways of preparing for an emergency, increasing response readiness in a uniform and coordinated manner, and helping to reduce the effects of a Weir failure. The following are some steps that could prevent or delay failure after an emergency is first discovered.
9.1 Surveillance
Round the clock surveillance at the Weir and its appurtenant (on the rim of reservoir (left & right) will be carried out by site engineers during emergency situations. For this, the posting of special observer of high experience and keen observation is an important requirement of EAP during high flood period. To ensure that the whole system (including civil structures & mechanical installations) is being maintained well up to satisfactory level, the repair maintenance must be carried out as per requirement of O & M of Kallar Weir. In addition, it must be ensured that maintenance and upkeep of different components is carried out and will be only possible through deployment of well procedure conversant and trained staff. The list of such persons should be displayed on a photo frame mounting at convenient safe places at Weir site and list of local telephone numbers inside the Weir & outside the Weir area. It will be updated from time to time for any change.
9.2. Response on forecast of excessive inflow
There are about 10 rain gauge stations existing at Periyar River basin in the upstream reaches of Idukki Catchment, which are maintained by different agencies including KSEBL. The collection and analysis of the data from those stations are done under the responsibility of the Executive Engineer, Hydrology Division, KSEBL. Data from the stations are collected on daily basis. These data are used for reservoir operation and flood forecasting.
9.3. Response during weekends and holidays
Emergency Planning Manager will be available for emergency response during weekends and holidays. In case of non-availability of the Executive Engineer, the Assistant Executive Engineer (Dam Safety Sub-division, Vazhathope) will take his responsibilities.
9.4. Response during periods of darkness and adverse weather
Emergency Planning Manager and Site Engineers will arrange for access to generators and lights to adequately monitor the situation. Site Engineers will ensure the generators and emergency lights are well maintained and available under any circumstances. Executive Engineer will be able to access the site during adverse weather conditions by off road vehicle. 9.5. Access to the site
Page 22
Emergency Action Plan for KALLAR March 2021
The following accesses to the Weir are available, and depending of the emergency situation some of them should be used with caution or totally avoided (See Table 9.5.1 and Inundation cum Evacuation Plan under Annexure9a).
Table 9.5.1. Condition of access to Kallar Diversion Weir under Emergency Conditions (Due to Bad Weather/Non Flood Failure) Spillway discharge/ Emergency condition Approx.

Adimali Adimali –Kallarkutty – 46 km Not Safe Not Safe Chinnar Road
9.6. Remedial Actions Preparedness and remedial actions can be taken in an emergency to prevent the catastrophic failure of the Weir, but such repairs should be undertaken with extreme caution. The repairs are only temporary, and a permanent repair should be designed by an engineer as soon as possible.
Specific actions for different emergency situations are described in the Annexure 4 (Action Data Sheets). Examples of the actions to be taken for dam‘s officials under the direction of a professional engineer or contractor are described below. In all cases, the appropriate Notification Flowchart must be implemented.
Consider the following remedial actions if the dam‘s integrity is threatened by:
Seepage Failure - Plug the flow with whatever material is available (hay, bentonite, or plastic) if the entrance is in the reservoir. - Lower the water level in the reservoir by using the low flow outlet and pumping if necessary, until the flow decreases to a non-erosive velocity or until it stops. Place an inverted filter (a protective layer of sand and gravel) on the exit area to hold the material in place. - Continue operating at a lower level until a repair is made. Embankment or Foundation Sliding - Lower the water level in the reservoir by using the low flow outlet and pumping if necessary, at a rate and to an elevation considered safe, given the slide condition.
Page 23
Emergency Action Plan for KALLAR March 2021
- Stabilize the slide, if on the downstream slope, by weighting the toe area below the slide with soil, rock, or gravel. - Continue operating at a lower level until a repair is made.
Structural Failure - Implement temporary measures to protect the damaged structure, such as placing rock riprap in the damaged area. - Lower the water level to a safe elevation through the low flow outlet and by pumping if necessary.

12. INUNDATION AREA 12.1 Inundation Maps The inundation map (Annexure 3) illustrates the areas subject to flooding from failure of the Kallar Weir is attached as separate drawing volume in A3 format. The maps were prepared using the results of a two-dimensional flow analysis considering cases of Overtopping failure and Non-Flood failure, depicting the area likely to be inundated as well as the flood arrival time from the beginning of the breach to the moment the location start to be inundated. Table 12.1.1 shows various scenarios included in the Emergency Action Plan.
Table 12.1.1 - Scenarios included in the Emergency Action Plan
Annexure Scenario Hazard Parameters Number of Index Tiles
3-A Overtopping Failure Depth, Arrival Time, Velocity, Water (5 x 5 nos. surface Elevation (WSE), Vulnerability (5 each) Nos.)

12.3. Local Evacuation Plan If imminent failure of the Weir with uncontrolled downstream flooding is anticipated, local disaster management and law enforcement personnel should notify those downstream for evacuation in the most expedient manner possible following the procedure given in the notification flow charts of this document (Notification Flow Chart – Annexure 5, 6). Local law enforcement officials, along with local mobile network operators, radio and media representatives can best spread the notice for evacuation (See Responsibilities Sections, 6.4 and 6.5). In addition, Annexure 4 (Emergency Level Determination & Action Data Sheets) can be used as support in the decision-making process either to escalate or downgrade emergency event. The most important actions that should be taken during an evacuation process are: - Police Departments will barricade all bridges and roads that could possibly be flooded to prevent access to the affected area. These bridges include all crossings of main river and its tributaries as well as those affected roads shown in the Annexure 9a (Inundation cum Evacuation Maps –Kallar Weir). Crossings locations in the inundation indicate the
Page 28
Emergency Action Plan for KALLAR March 2021
appropriate barricade locations under the responsibility of local law-enforcement authorities. - The Districts Disaster Management Authorities (Districts Collectors) will assist with the notification of all persons and agencies involved (relief authorities), with the possibility of additional support—including contacting others not accessible by radio or telephone. - Relief Authorities (Police, Fire, Army) are generally familiar with developed areas in their jurisdiction. Such knowledge, coupled with the requirements of state law that they respond to disasters, make them the logical officials to be notified and to spread the warning message to all areas subject to flooding. - Based on the specific results of the dam breach analysis (wave arrival time), a local evacuation plan has been developed to assist disaster management authorities in the relief actions. - An Inundation cum Evacuation Map (Panchayat wise) showing the Panchayats likely to be inundated, roads/crossing structures likely to be submerged, nearby relief camps identified etc. is shown in Annexure 9a and a table with Panchayat wise details of Flood Hazard reference values and nearby shelters identified is shown in Annexure 9b.
