I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

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.

2. 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 to 350,000 households with about 1.7million population resident 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 two (2) identified towns (Khajuraho and Rajnagar) servicing about 42,000 population resident in 8000 households;

(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.

3. The key outcome envisaged from the project is “effective urban water service delivery model rolled out in selective urban clusters of the State with the objective of achieving the following performance indicators by the year 2022.

4. The Subproject. Jaithari, Khand and Chandia are located respectively in the districts of Anuppur, Shadol and Umaria in the eastern part of Madhya Pradesh state. These are small towns, recently upgraded to Nagar Parishad status, and population as per 2011 census was: Jaithari - 8,396, Khand – 10,653, and Chandia -15,981. Improvement of water supply in these three towns will be implemented under a single Design-Build-Operate (DBO) contract package. The objective of the subproject is to achieve safe and sustainable water services both in terms of services to customers, cost recovery, providing 100% coverage 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 the following civil works.

a. Jaithari: (i) Weir on Tipan river and intake well, (ii) Water Treatment Plant (WTP) for 1.2 MLD; (iii)clear water sump of 1 lakh litre (LL): (iv) raw & clear water transmission; (v) distribution network (27.5 km), and (vi) consumer connections, and flow meters.

b. Khand: (i) raw water pumping from Bansagar Dam; (ii) WTP (1.5 MLD)(iii) Break Pressure Tank (BPT) of 1 LL (iii) 2 clear water sumps(1 &2 LL) (iv) raw & clear water transmission; (v) distribution network (52.1 km), and (vi) consumer connections, and flow meters. c. Chandia: (i) Weir on Mahanadi river and intake well, (ii) WTP(2.0 MLD); (iii) clear water sump of 1 LL; (iv) Two Overhead Tanks (OHT) of 3.5 and 1.7 LL (iv) raw & clear water transmission; (v) distribution network (33.2 km), and (vi) consumer connections, and flow meters..

5. Screening and assessment of potential impacts. ADB requires the consideration of environmental issues in all aspects of the Bank‟s operations, and the requirements for environmental assessment are described in ADB‟s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS), 2009. As per the GoI EIA Notification, 2006, this subproject 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.

6. 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.

7. This IEE aims 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.

8. Description of the Environment. The subproject components locations are in subproject towns of Jaithari, Khand and Chandia towns and their surroundings. The weir will be constructed across the rivers, intakes will be located close to river banks on government lands, while the WTPs including clear water sumps will be also located close to the intakes where sufficient government land is available. These facilities are located outside the town, and are mostly surrounded by agricultural lands, forest areas and rivers/reservoirs. None of the components however located on any forest land. Rest of the components – water tanks, distribution lines, connections etc., will be located within the urban areas. The raw water transmission pipes, connecting intake and WTP, will be essentially outside the town, and clear water transmission pipes, from WTP to distribution reservoirs, will be partly outside and partly within the towns. Project area experience a subtropical climate, typical to north India, hot summers, cold and dry winters and monsoon rains. While there is no natural habitat left within the town areas, the areas near river intakes are comparatively intact though most of

3 the lands there too converted into agricultural use. The forests here are of dense or open type mixed jungles. 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.

9. Potential environmental impacts. The subproject is unlikely to cause significant adverse impacts because: (i) relatively small scale as the population and water demand is minimal, (ii) the components will involve straightforward construction and operation, so impacts will be mainly localized; and (iii) predicted impacts are site-specific and likely to be associated with the construction process and are produced because the process is invasive, involving excavation and earth movements.

10. Environmental impacts as being due to the project design or location are not significant. The proposed water supply schemes include design of new water sources nearest surface water bodies, that include construction of weir (for Jaithari and Chandia), and drawing of water from a large multipurpose dam (Bansagar) for Khand town. Second, there are forest areas around the towns. Considering good water availability and very small demand, it is assessed to be unlikely to have any significant issue of source sustainability. Given that weir are small structures with have limited & fixed height and submergence confined to river course with no direct water withdrawals, the impacts on downstream and ecosystem are likely to be insignificant. Water quality is good and there are no potential pollution sources in the vicinity that could affect the water quality. Although none of the components are located within the forest, conduct of construction works and presence of workers, vehicles may damage /disturb the sensitive areas. Necessary precautionary measures are suggested to avoid any impacts.

11. During construction, potential negative impacts mainly arise from disturbance of residents, businesses, increase in traffic, increase in noise level and dusts, and the need to dispose moderate quantities of waste soil during construction phase and generation of sludge from the WTP during operation and maintenance phase. However, there are well- developed methods for mitigation, minimization to acceptable levels. Operation phase impacts are likely to be insignificant.

12. Environmental Management Plan. An environmental management plan (EMP) has been developed to provide mitigation measures to reduce all negative impacts to acceptable levels. Locations and siting of the proposed infrastructures were considered to further reduce impacts. These include (i) locating facilities on government-owned land to avoid the need for land acquisition and relocation of people; and (ii) laying of pipes in RoW alongside main/access roads, to reduce acquisition of land and impacts on livelihoods specifically in densely populated areas of the town.

13. The EMP includes design measures such as (i) design of small weir; (ii) wash water recovery for the WTP to reduce effluent to be discharged and safe sludge disposal (iii) energy efficient pumping equipment and (iv) quick leak detection and rectification to save the resources, etc. During construction, the EMP includes mitigation measures such as (i) implementation of traffic management plan in coordination with local traffic police to minimize traffic impacts; (ii) awareness campaigns and consultations to inform residents and businesses of potential disturbances; (iii) provision of walkways and planks over trenches to ensure access will not be impeded; (iv) 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

4 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.

14. 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.

15. 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.

16. 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 town, after which views expressed were incorporated into the IEE and in the planning and development of the project. The IEE will be made available at public locations and will be disclosed to a wider audience via the ADB,MPUDC and PMU websites. The consultation process will be continued and expanded during project implementation to ensure that stakeholders are fully engaged in the project and have the opportunity to participate in its development and implementation. A grievance redress mechanism is described within the IEE to ensure any public grievances are addressed quickly.

17. 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.

18. Monitoring and Reporting. The PMU and PMC will be responsible for monitoring. The PMDC will submit quarterly and semi-annual monitoring reports to PMU, and the PMU

5 will review and send the semi-annual monitoring reports to ADB. ADB will post the environmental monitoring reports on its website.

19. Conclusions and Recommendations. The subproject is therefore unlikely to cause significant adverse impacts. The potential impacts that are associated with design, construction and operation can be mitigated to standard levels without difficulty through proper engineering design and the incorporation or application of recommended mitigation measures and procedures. 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, weir /intake construction, and consent of Madhya Pradesh Pollution Control Board (MPPCB) for WTPs. These permissions/approvals shall be obtained prior to award of contracts.

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

B. Purpose of this IEE Report

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. The subproject towns of Jaithari, Khand and Chandia area located in the eastern part of Madhya Pradesh state, and improvement of water supply in these three 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 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, intake, WTP, raw and clear water transmission, storage 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.

7. This IEE is based on the detailed engineering report prepared by the design team 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

8 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.

III. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT

A. Project Area

9. Project area comprises the urban areas and surroundings of Jaithari, Khand and Chandia municipalities situated respectively in districts of Annupur, Shahdol and Umaria, in Mahakoshal region, which forms eastern Madhya Pradesh state. Towns are located in adjoining districts, and in a distance range of about 140-160 km from each other. As per the census 2011, Jaithari had a population of 8,396 and area 8.4 sq. km, Khand 10,653 and area 14.46 sq. km, and Chandia 15,891 area 39.02 sq.km. These towns are located about 400-500 km from state capital Bhopal and are connected by highways and railways. Nearest airport is at Jabalapur, which is main city in Mahakoshal region, in the range 100-150 km from each town.

10. Subproject components are located within the urban and surroundings. While weir, intakes and WTPs are located outside the towns, all other components are located within the towns.

B. Existing Water Supply Situation

1. Jaithari

11. Groundwater is source of water supply in Jaithari. There are 8 municipal tube wells drilled across the town from where water is extracted and supplied to people. Currently, 7 out of 8 tube well are in working condition. Water from tube wells pumped to overhead tank (newly constructed 5 lakh litre capacity), and then supplied without any treatment to people through the distribution network by gravity. The existing distribution systems (consists of AC pipes) cover the town partially (mostly core/central area), while the rest of the town is dependent on hand pumps and mobile tankers. Water supply situation worsens in the summers, especially in wards no.-1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 10, 14 and 15. Municipality has provided 64 hand pumps across the town (59 are currently in working condition), and also supplies water through mobile tankers (3 no,s) in scarce areas especially in summers. Total water supply at present is 0.43 MLD, which is about 51 litres per capita per day (LPCD).

2. Khand

12. Groundwater is the main source of water supply in the town. At present water is abstracted from 7 tube wells, of which one is in municipal area, while rest of the six are in the adjacent Bansagar area (this is under control of Bansagar Dam, WRD, GoMP). Approximately 0.85 MLD of water is extracted from these tube wells and supplied daily in the town. There are 2 OHTs of 4.5 lakh litre and 45,000 litre. Water from tube wells is pumped to OHTs and then distributed to consumers by gravity pipeline system. Distribution system consists of AC Pipes .Sometimes, water is also pumped directly from tube wells to distribution system. Current water supply is not adequate to meet the demand. Distribution network coverage is partial, and several outer areas are uncovered. There are total no of 7 bore wells in the Khand Nagar Parishad. Out of which, one comes under Khand Nagar Parishad while the other 6 comes under Bansagar area.

3. Chandia

13. Groundwater is the main source of water supply in the town. Water is abstracted from 5 tube wells drilled in the town are various places, and pumped directly into the distribution network. There is one OHT but current it is not in operation. The existing distribution system mainly covers the core part of the town, and water connections coverage is about 30% households. Distribution system consists of galvanized iron (GI) pipes with total length is 7

10 km that were laid in the year 1979. Water is supplied 1-2 hours daily, with lowest supply during summer months.

FIGURE1: SUBPROJECT LOCATION (A) MP STATE MAP WITH SUBPROJECT DISTRICTS

(B) MP STATE MAP WITH SUBPROJECTS LOCAL TOWNS

12. Due to old system, pipes profusely leak leading to loss of large amounts of water. Besides piped water supply, there are 104 hand pumps and 11 open wells provided by the municipality, and majority of the town population depend on these sources. Groundwater quality is not good, and contains Iron and Nitrate concentrations higher than the drinking water standards. However, at present there is no treatment facility, and the water is supplied without any treatment.

13. Overall, the current water supply systems in all the three towns face similar issues predominantly resulting from receding groundwater sources, low coverage and unreliable supply, inadequate infrastructure and heavy water losses.

C. Proposed Project

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

15. Following Table 1 shows the proposed water supply systems along with nature and size of components in three subproject towns. Figure 2 to Figure 10 show the proposed water systems, component layouts etc.

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

IV. POLICY, LEGAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE FRAMEWORK

A. ADB Policy

17. 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.

18. 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.

19. 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.

20. 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

21. 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 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.

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

Table 2: Applicable Environmental Regulations Law Description Requirement Madhya Prepared in accordance with the National Water Permission of WRD, GoMP: Pradesh State Policy, it states that “for environmental balance,  Construction of weir and Water Policy, skillful and planned management of all types of intakes (River Tipan at 2003 developmental activities, economic use on Jaithari and River Mahanadi equitable basis and in view of the prime at Chandia) importance of water for all human and other  Water allocation / living beings, an effective and sound water abstraction from Bansagar policy is necessary”. Dam for Khand Policy is detailed in 17 sections dealing with different aspects of water resources. No. 7 deals with Water Allocation Priorities, and according to which drinking water supply shall have the highest priority followed by irrigation, power, tourism, etc. Water Resource Department is nodal department for permitting different uses of water resources. Policy also states that “clear provision for reservation of drinking water shall be made in irrigation projects” Water Act was enacted to provide for the prevention WTPs require CTE (prior to start (Prevention and and control of water pollution and the of constriction) and CFO (prior to Control of maintaining or restoring of wholesomeness of start of operation) from MPPCB.

Control of water pollution is achieved through administering conditions imposed in consent issued under to this Act. These conditions regulate the quantity and quantity of effluent, the location of discharge and the frequency of monitoring of effluents. Any component of the subproject having the potential to generate sewage or trade effluent will come under its purview. Such projects have to obtain Consent to Establish (CTE) & Consent to Operate (CTO) under Section 25 from Madhya Pradesh Pollution Control Board (MPPCB) Environment Emissions and discharges from the facilities to Appendix 2 provides applicable (Protection) be created or refurbished or augmented shall standards for ambient air quality.

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

23. ADB SPS Requirements. During the design, construction, and operation of the project the PMU and PIUs are required to apply pollution prevention and control technologies and practices consistent with international good practice, as reflected in internationally recognized standards such as the World Bank Group‟s Environment, Health and Safety Guidelines. 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 3: WHO Ambient Air& Noise Quality Guidelines

V. DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT

A. Methodology Used for Baseline Study

24. Data collection and stakeholder consultations. Data for this study has been primarily collected through literature survey, discussion with stakeholder agencies, and field visits to the proposed subproject sites.

25. The literature 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, 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.

26. Ocular inspection. Several visits to the project sites were made during IEE preparation period in 2015-16 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.

VI. ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

29. 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.

30. 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.

31. 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).

32. 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.

33. 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.

34. In the case of this project (i) most of the individual elements are relatively small and involve straightforward construction and operation, so impacts will be mainly localized and not greatly significant;(ii) proposed water abstraction from the sources is very small compared to overall water availability, and the proposed weir are so shallow that the submergence is confined to river course itself; (iii) most of the predicted impacts are associated with the construction process, and are produced because that process is invasive, involving excavation and earth movements; and some works are located in the reservoir and (iv) being mostly located in an urban area, will not cause direct impact on biodiversity values. The project will be in properties held by the local government and access to the project location is through public rights-of-way and existing roads hence, land acquisition and encroachment on private property will not occur.

A. Pre-Construction Impacts – Design & Location

35. Design of the Proposed Components. Technical design of the (i) intake facilities, including weir, (ii) water treatment plant; (iii) raw water and clear water mains, (iv) storage reservoirs, and (v) distribution network, connections, flow meters, etc., follows the relevant national planning and design guidelines, focusing on providing a robust system which is easy to operate, sustainable, efficient and economically viable. Besides, the project also included the following environmental considerations:

(i) Discontinuation of current unsustainable groundwater source and creating a new water supply system based on nearest surface water sources (ii) Recovering backwash water from treatment process (iii) Treatment and reuse of sludge from treatment process (iv) Minimizing water losses from pipelines by perfect jointing and alignments using appropriate techniques (HDPE pipes up to 150 mm dia joined by electro fusion couplers using on-site electro fusion welding, and all higher dia pipes by on site butt welding) (v) Designing the entire system to maintain optimal flow and terminal pressure, and optimising the overall energy usage (vi) Reducing the incidence of water borne diseases by providing 100% population including urban poor with potable water supplies (vii) 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 (viii) 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 (ix) Using low-noise and energy efficient pumping systems

36. Water Source& Sustainability. As the subproject, towns are located far from each other (~80-120 km) there was no possibility of a combined source/ bulk water scheme. Therefore, independent water supply schemes are proposed for 3 towns separately based on the most feasible water source considering techno-economic and environmental considerations as elucidated below (Table 8).

Table 8: Water Source Selection & Sustainability Subproject Alternative Sources Selected Source and Associated Impacts due to abstraction Town Jaithari Groundwater: Present water supply is based on groundwater, and is Tipan River is selected considering the water availability, quality, and inadequate to cater to present demand. Therefore not considered. proximity. Tipan River: Flowing in the south of the town, this is a seasonal river Jaithari water requirement is just about 1.11 MLD (~0.01 cumecs), and tributary of Son River. With an estimated catchment area of 422 which can be easily met by the river flow, except during the no-flow sq. km at Jaithari, and with two main tributaries - Alan &Sonari Nalas, period in summer. Therefore, it is proposed to construct a Weir. which in turn have several small rivers, streams as tributaries, Tipan There will be no direct abstraction from storage. flows for about 9-10 months in year. Carries very high flows in monsoon, and completely dries up for 2-3 months in summer (April – There are no major water abstraction points or dams on the June). From Jaithari, the river flows north and meets Son (15 km). downstream side on dam site. River water quality is good, and there Son River: It is a perennial river, flows at about xx km from the town. are no notable pollution sources in the proximity. Considering the low water requirement, and high costs in accessing this far away source, it is not considered feasible. Khand Groundwater: Present water supply is based on groundwater, and is inadequate to cater to present demand. Therefore not considered. Bansagar Dam Samdhin River: This river flows in the eastern side of the town, and Being a reliable, sustainable and close source, Bansagar dam is joins River Son on the downstream of Khand town. River flows selected as source for Khand. throughout the year, except for about 1-2 months during summers. The town water demand is just a miniscule of total water availability in The construction of intake and laying of transmission main may require this huge dam. Water quality is good. Permission from WRD will be forest land acquisition, and therefore this source is not selected. required. This is discussed with the jurisdictional Executive Engineer Bansagar Dam. Khand town is located just downstream of Bansagar of WRD on November 18, 2015, and the process for obtaining the dam on its right bank. Bansagar is a large multipurpose dam in MP clearance has already been initiated. with a submergence area of 587 km2 and live storage of 5.41 km3 3 (5.31 billion m ), which is shared by 3 states – MP, UP and Bihar. Chandia Groundwater: Present water supply is based on groundwater, and is River Mahanadi inadequate to cater to present demand. Therefore not considered. The water requirement for town is just about 1.87 MLD, which can be Mahanadi River: Mahanadi river, which flows at a distance of 8 km easily met by the river flow, except 2-3 months in summer. from Chandia, is identified as only reliable and sustainable source Therefore, it is proposed to construct a Weir across the river near located close to the town. Mahanadi is a tributary of River Son, and Chandia-Katni road bridge. There will be no direct abstraction from joins it at Banagar dam. Mahanadi flows for about 9-10 months in storage. There are no major water abstraction points or dams on the year, with very high flows during monsoon, and no flow for about 2-3 downstream side on dam site. River water quality is good, and there months in summer (April – June). are no notable pollution sources in the proximity.

37. Dam water sustainability and environmental considerations.In Khand water will be sourced from Bansagar Dam, which is a very large multipurpose dam, and due permission from the WRD will be obtained from the WRD. Water quality is good. Therefore, no negative impacts envisaged on existing water uses or ecosystem. In Jaithari and Chandia, water is proposed to be sourced from the nearest rivers, Tipan and Mahanadi, respectively.. To ensure water availability during the no-flow period, a Weir is proposed.

38. This is a small dam, with a height of just 3-3.5 m above the river bed level (same as depth of river banks), thus confining the submergence to river course itself. The main purpose of this weir is to recharge the riverbed/groundwater, and not for direct abstraction from the storage, and will ensure adequate water availability to meet the demand of no-flow period (2-3) months in summer. Dam will be solid structure (built in RCC) and will have no arrangements to increase/decrease the height (such as operable gates) or release or hold water beyond/below the fixed dam height. Given very small storage, dam will be filled at the first monsoon flow itself, and will continue to be full throughout (as no abstraction, except for the evaporation and infiltration losses), and the water coming from the upstream will overflow freely. Therefore the change in flow regime due to this small dam will be negligible on downstream users and river eco system. The proposed impoundment, in fact, is likely to benefit the environment through groundwater recharge and propagating aquatic life. Water quality is suitable for drinking water after conventional treatment and disinfection, and there are no notable pollution sources. No negative impacts thus envisaged.

39. Use of Chlorine as disinfectant. It is proposed to use chlorine at WTP to disinfect the water prior to supply to consumers. There is invariably a safety risk when chlorine is handled. Although facilities are not located close to habitations, safety precautions are necessary to ensure the safety of workers and citizens. To avoid any risk, chlorination facility will be provided with safety provisions, which are presented in the EMP (Table 9)

40. Sensitive project locations. All the three subproject towns – Jaithari, Khand and Chandia, are surrounded by forest areas, which are of open mixed or dense mixed type jungles that are under reserved, protected or unclassified categories. None of the subproject components are located in the forest areas, nor any pipeline is aligned through the forests. This will be further verified and ensured during the detailed design phase.

41. Although not encroaching on forest lands, some of the project components (mainly source, intake, WTP etc.,)are located close to the forest areas. Once the construction is over, the facilities will work with minimum interference and therefore no impacts on the nearby forests envisaged during the operation phase. However, 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 11)

42. Similarly proposed works in the river bed (for dam and 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 (Table 11).

43. 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 is included in the EMP.

44. 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

50 to relocation of the utilities, the contractor, in collaboration with ULB will be required to implement appropriate measures. These are given in the EMP (Table 10).

45. 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

46. 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.

B. Construction Impacts

47. 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, the contractor as part of the civil works will undertake road reinstatement. 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.

48. 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 lying 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.

49. Other civil works in the subproject include construction of weir across river Tipan in Jaithari and river Mahanadi in Chandia, intake cum pump house on the river bank including a gravel packed wells in the river that will connect to intake well, raw water pumping station including laying of water intake pipe at Bansagar dam (across Mahanadi River) for Khand, water treatment plants, water tanks (ground level / overhead), pumping stations at identified sites. These works will be confined to sites, and construction will include general activities like excavation for foundation, construction of foundations, columns, walls and roof in cement concrete and masonry, and fixing of mechanical and electrical fixtures, etc.

50. 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

51. The above impacts are typical for construction in urban areas, and therefore are common to all the three 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 (Table 11) applicable to all three towns.

C. Operation and Maintenance Impacts

52. 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 (15/30years for mechanical/civil components),it shall not require major repairs or refurbishments and should operate with little maintenance beyond routine actions required to keep the equipment in working order. The stability and integrity of the system will be monitored periodically to detect any problems and allow remedial action if required. Any repairs will be small-scale involving manual, temporary, and short-term works involving regular checking and recording of performance for signs of deterioration, servicing and replacement of parts.

53. 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.

54. 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

D. Project benefits

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

56. The citizens of Jaithari, Khand and Chandia 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.

VII. PUBLIC CONSULTATION AND INFORMATION DISCLOSURE

A. Overview

57. 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.

58. 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 Jaithari, Khand and Chandia,WRD, Forest Department (FD), 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

59. 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

60. Institutional consultations were conducted with the relevant Governmental Departments such as WRD, PHED, MPPCB, FD, etc. The subproject proposalsare formulated in consultation with Jaithari, Khand and ChandiaNagar Parishads to suit the requirements of the respective towns.

61. 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 January 2016 in all the three 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 22.

62. 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

63. 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.

64. 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

65. 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.

66. 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.

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

VIII. GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM

A. Project Specific Grievance Redress Mechanism

68. A program-specific grievance redress mechanism (GRM) shall be established to receive, evaluate, and facilitate the resolution of AP‟s concerns, complaints, and grievances about the social and environmental performance at the level of the project. The following GRM provides a time-bound and transparent mechanism to voice and resolve social and environmental concerns linked to the project.

69. A common GRM will be in place for social, environmental, or any other grievances related to the project. The GRM will provide an accessible and trusted platform for receiving and facilitating resolution of affected persons‟ grievances related to the program. The multi- tier GRM for the project is outlined below, each tier having time-bound schedules and with responsible persons identified to address grievances and seek appropriate persons‟ advice at each stage, as required. ULB-wide public awareness campaigns will ensure that awareness on grievance redress procedures is generated through the campaign.

70. Who can complain: A complaint may be brought by persons who are, or could be, “directly, indirectly, materially, and adversely” affected by the project. A complaint can be submitted on behalf of the affected person/people by a representative, provided that he or she identifies the affected person/people and includes evidence of the authority to act on their behalf.

71. What the Grievance/Complain should contain: Any concerns pertaining to safeguard compliance - environment, involuntary resettlement, indigenous people, design related issues, compensation, service delivery or any other issues or concerns related to the project. The complaint must contain name, date, address/contact details of the complainant, location of the problem area, along with the problem.

72. Where to file a Complaint: Complainants will have the flexibility of conveying grievances/suggestions by dropping grievance redress/suggestion forms in complaints/suggestion boxes to be installed by project at respective Nagar Parishad Offices, PIU offices or by e-mail or by writing in a complaints register in the PIU offices or at construction site offices.

73. How to file a Complaint: The application should be precise and specific. The application can be sent either by post or through electronic means or deliver personally. A sample grievance form is at Appendix 23.

(i) Offline System - The application can be made on the application form available at all accessible places (NPs/ Office of PIUs/ construction site offices). The application should have the name and complete postal address of the applicant. (ii) Online System - Grievances pertaining to the implementation of the project can also be filed online at the website of MPUDC/PMU or by e-mails.

74. Documentation: Documentation of the complaints is important and must contain name of the complainant, date of receipt of the complaint, address/contact details of the person, location of the problem area, and how the problem was resolved. PMU with the support of PIU will have the overall responsibility for timely grievance redress, and for registration of grievances, related disclosure, and communication with the aggrieved party. All the documents made available to the public at the community level (at ward offices) and will include information on the contact number, address and contact person for registering grievances, and will be disseminated throughout the project area by the PIU.

75. Grievance/Problem Redress through Participatory Process: Efforts must be made by the PIU with the support of safeguard consultants to resolve problems amicably, conflicts through participatory process with the community and the Nagar Parishads. In case of grievances that are immediate and urgent in the perception of the complainant, the Contractor, and supervision personnel from the PIU will provide the most easily accessible or first level of contact for the quick resolution of grievances. Contact phone numbers and names of the concerned staff and contractors, will be posted at all construction sites at visible locations.

76. Following process will be followed:

(i) 1st level grievance. In case of grievances that are immediate and urgent in the perception of the complainant, PMC supervising staff will direct the contractor to and ensures that it is resolved. If the grievance is not under the contractor scope, but under the program, PMC (field office) will resolve this issue. All the grievances should be resolved within 3 days of receipt of a complaint/grievance.

(ii) 2nd level grievance. All grievances that cannot be redressed at first level within 3 days will be brought to the notice of PIU and PMC Assistant Environmental Specialist. PIU will review the grievance and act appropriately to resolve it within 10 days of receipt.

(iii) 3rd level grievance. All the grievances that are not addressed at 2nd level by PIU within in 10 days of receipt will be brought to the notice of notice of the Grievance Redressal Committee (GRC)1. GRC will meet twice a month and determine the merit of each grievance brought to the committee. The GRC will resolve the grievance within 1 month of receiving the complaint. The Nodal Officer will communicate all decisions taken by the GRC to complainant.

77. The project GRM notwithstanding, an aggrieved person shall have access to the country's legal system at any stage, and accessing the country's legal system can run parallel to accessing the GRM and is not dependent on the negative outcome of the GRM. Alternatively, if the grievance is related to land acquisition, resettlement & rehabilitation2, the APs can approach the Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Authority (LARRA) of Madhya Pradesh, established under the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation, and Resettlement Act, 2013.

IX. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

A. Implementation Arrangements

79. Urban Development and Environment Department (UDED) 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 a flexibility to redeployment depending upon the implementation requirements.

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

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

82. 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.

83. 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.

84. 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

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

86. 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

58 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.

87. 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.

88. 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.

89. 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.

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

E. Monitoring and Reporting

95. 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.

96. 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.

97. 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 27). 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.

98. 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.

99. 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

100. 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 2.43 million, which are to be covered by contractor costs.

X. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

101. The process described in this document has assessed the environmental impacts of all elements of the Jaithari – Khand – Chandia 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.

102. There are two important location and design aspects. First, the proposed water supply schemes include design of new water sources, that include construction of weir (for Jaithari and Chandia), and drawing of water from a large multipurpose dam (Bansagar) for Khand town. Second, there are forest areas around the towns.

103. No flow data available for these rivers as they are not gauged by WRD. Considering the low water requirement of towns (1.11 MLD for jaithari and 4.74 MLD for Chandia), and almost perennial nature of rivers (flows for 9-10 months a year) with very high flows during monsoon, (as gathered from local information), it is assessed to be unlikely to have any issue of source sustainability. To cater to the no-flow period (2-3 months), small weir are proposed. These are small dams, with a height of just 3-3.5 m above the river bed level (same as depth of river banks), thus confining the submergence to river course itself. The main purpose of the weir is to recharge the riverbed/groundwater, and not for direct abstraction from the storage. Storage is small and there are no arrangements to change the height or gates to release or hold water, dam will be filled at the first monsoon flow itself, and will continue to be full throughout (as no abstraction, except the evaporation and infiltration losses), and the water coming from the upstream will overflow freely. Therefore, the change in flow regime due to these small dams will be negligible on downstream users and on river eco system. The proposed impoundment in fact is likely to benefit the environment through groundwater recharge and propagation of aquatic life. Water quality is suitable for drinking water after conventional treatment and disinfection, and there are no notable pollution sources. No negative impacts thus envisaged.

104. For Khand town, water will be sourced from Bansagar Dam, which is a large multipurpose dam. The requirement of town is miniscule in comparison with the dam storage. WRD permission for construction of weir and for abstraction from the dam is in process. PMU has already discussed with the WRD, and the permission is likely to be issued soon.

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

106. 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 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.

107. 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

Appendix79 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.

108. 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.

109. 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 period, and mechanisms for resolving complaints about environmental performance.

110. 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.

111. 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.

112. The project will benefit the general public by contributing to the long-term improvement of water supply systems and community livability in Jaithari, Khand and Chandia.

113. 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 Bansagar Dam, and for construction of weir and intakes on Tipan and Mahanadi rivers and (iii)Consent for Establishment (CFE) and Consent for Operation (CFO) for WTPs from MPPCB. These permissions/approvals shall be obtained.

114. 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 24: Sample Outline Spoils (construction waste) Management Plan

 The Spoil Management Plan should be site specific and be part of the monthly Construction Management Plan.  The contractor, in consultation with the PIU, has to find out appropriate location/s for the disposal of the excess soil generated. The spoils should be deposited only at these sites.  Further precautions need to be taken in case of the contaminated spoils  The vehicle carrying the spoil should be covered properly.  The spoils generating from each site should be removed on the same day or immediately after the work is complete. The site / road should be restored to the original condition.

I. Spoils information The spoil information contains the details like a) The type / material, b) Potential contamination by that type, c) Expected volume (site / component specific), d) Spoil Classification etc.

II. Spoils management The Spoil Management section gives the details of a) Transportation of spoil b) disposal site details c) Precautions taken d) Volume of contaminated spoil, if present, d) Suggested reuse of disposal of the spoil

III. Documentation The volume of spoil generated (site specific, date wise), site disposed, reuse / disposal details should be documented properly.

Appendix 25: 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; (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;

Appendix129

(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.

D. Public awareness and notifications

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.

130

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.

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

Appendix131

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/ 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.
