1.0 BACKGROUND

Uttar Pradesh is the most populated State of Ureawiseit is third largest State of the country. The power supply to this vast geographical area (294411 Sq. Km.), is being maintained through various load centers and approx. 2,37,3(10 C.Km. (1997) of transmission lines. The system comprises 11 Nos.of 400 KV. 33 Nos. 220 KV and 196 Nos. 132 KV Sub- stations. For further industrial growth and overall development of the State, UPSEBhas envisaged several power transmission and distribution schemes some of which shall be funded by financial lending agencies.UPSEB realizes that power transmission projects may have some unavoidable environmental and social implications. Social issues are addressed through social policy and procedures separately and environmental issues are covered in this document.

UPSEB has great concern for clean environment and conservation of natural resources.This document intends to deal with the environmcntal issues associated with transmission projects so as to provide system reliability & effliciencyon one hand and cleaner, safer and healthicr environment on thc other hand. Thc Environmental Safeguards of UPSEB provides environmental framework and safeguards for transmission project of UPSI,B taking into account the policies. rules, acts and legal requirements of and Govemmcnt of U.l'.. This document identifies and provides a framework and methodology to address environmental issues of Sub-stations and lines and formulats guidelines for preparing the Environmcnt Management Pl'ans (LMlPs)for the proposed projects.

This document has been prepared in-house by the 'Social and Environmental Cell" of UPSEIBand the process of preparing it included desk research on legal and institutional framework,analysis of priority issues in power transmission sector.consistency check with environmental policies of other SlBs and with operational policies of World Bank. Discussions within and outside UlSl'B were also held for giving due importance to the views / suggestions of all concerned .The provisions of this document will he implemented in all future transmission projects of the Ul'SI,II by field units responsible for construction, operation and maintenance of these projecus. 1 The l nvironmental I-rarnework and Safeguards comprises (f ten chapters. Chaptwr-I deals with introduction, Chapter -2 outlines regulatory requirements of State. Central and multilateral agencies for transmission projects. Chapter - 3 outlines UPSIll's environment policy.1rn)ject description and implementation approach is covered in Chapter-4. Chapter-5 outlines base-line soio-economic conditions of the State. Chapter - 6 deals with status of PC13'suse and disposal approach for the same. Chapter - 7 outlines analysis of alternatives. Chapter - 8 outlines Elnvironmental Impacts of transmission projects. Chapter - 9 and I(0 deal with Environment Management Plans and public awareness respectively.

-z-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2.0 P.oliCy. al and.Addo ton

UPSEBundertakes itS trnsmission activities within the purviewof IndianLaws keeping in mind appropriateobligations and guidelinesof statutory and fundingagencies. UPSEB views its responsibilityunder the present legal frameworkas twofoldwith regard to their transmission/distributionprojects, fir-stly, the mandatoryrequirements under the law and, secondly, requirementswhich influence management procedures addressing envirounmental issues. Mandatoryenvironmental requirements for UPSEBtransmission/distribution works include Techno-economicclearance by CEA under Electricity(Supply)Act- 1948;Forest clearance underForest (Conservation)Act, 1980 and Forest (Conservation)Rules, 1981, clearance from Telecomdepartment and perview of Power & TelecommunicationCo-ordination Committee; provisionsand guidelinesfor safety regulationsas per IndianElectricity Rules - 1956. Mandatoryrequirements vis-A-vis Funding Agencies is an Environment Review/Assessmentas per World Bank'sOperational Policy (O.P.)4.01 and as per O.P. 4.04 and 4.36 regardingNatural Habitats and Forestry respectively.£nvironmental Impact Notification-1994 laysdown specificproject categories that requireclearance from MOI&F. Power transmissionprojects are not includedin Schedule-I of EinvironmentalImpact Assessment- 1994 , henceenvironmental clearance is not requiredfor powertransmission projects. Even as per WorldBank's Operation Policy (OP 4.()1) the transmissionprojects are classified as type B projectswhich would require limitedenvironmental analysis and EnvironmcntalManagement Plan (EMP) only.

3.0 Environmental Policy:

Ul'SEB is committedto provide a clean environment/ecologyand sustainable developmentin all its developmentalactivities. All its transmission/distributionprojects are to be, therefore,carefully plannedto ensure least possible,if any, adverseenvironmental impacts. Guidelines for construction activities are framed such that these works do not damagc/disturb the environmentalhealth of the area. EnvironmentalPolicy of UPSI,Balso stipulatesthe guiding principlesto be followedduring operationand maintenancestages of projects whichensure safcty against occupationalhaymrds, electrocution, fire hazards.accidents. sound pollution, elecrincalinterferences and also ensure that cnvironmentalhealth of the arca is well maintained and, if possible,improves.

The key principlesof Ul'S1,13'senvironmental policy are: - AvoidingRight of Way (ROW) through Environmentallyand Sociallysensitivc areas so as to avoid / minimize Environmental& Social Impacts. The principle of avoidanceis practiced so as to circumventenvironmentally sensitive areas during project planning stage. - Bestconstruction practices/norms are adopted to ensure minimizationof impacts in environmentallysensitive areas.

Adoption of advancedTechnologies, expertise and managementtechniqucs for mitigation of any unavoidablenegative impactsarising out of its project during operationand maintenance.

-3- 4.0 PMiect DaiRtion:

UPSEBhas a widespread network of transmissionlines (19403ckm length). For strengtheningthe presenttnmission system so as to ensurereliable, efficient and sufricient power supplyto consumers,UPSEB will undertake constructionsof new Sub-stations; installationof additionaltransformers, installation of shuntcapacitors, laying of new transmissionlines, interlinking of lines of existing Sub-stations,second circuit stringing of existing transmissionlines etc.. UPSEB has also idendfiedmany schemesfor augmentingpower supply to differentzones/districts. For examining the technicalsuitability , feasibilityand justificationof proposedschemes, load flow studies are conducted.

UPSEBplaces great emphasison managementand qualityservice by foHowinga very systematicapproach for planningand implementationof its projectsby properly integrating Fnvironmental& Socialissues in its projectcycle.

5.0 Basdne Conditos

Uttar Pradesh is the most populated State of the country with a geographical area of 294411 sq. Km.. UPSEB has got vast experience in implementationof transmissionprojets along the length & breadth of the State. It has planned. constructed& operated appmx. 19403 ckmnof transmissionlines (132 KV and above) and runs a transmissionsystem comprising of 11 No. 400KVSub-station, 33 No. 220KV Sub-stationsand 196 No. 132KVSub-stations apart from 66KV, 33KV, 11KV LT lines and Sub-stations.Theland acquired for transmissionSub-stations, is usually Govenunentland, barren land, wasteland or dry agriculturalland. Againstloss of negligible extent of dry agriculturallands for transmission projects agriculturalproduction in respectiveareas increasesconsiderably due to better supply of power resulting in increasedirrigation. Cultivablewaste lands can be put into use for agriculture. Thus the new transmissionprojects of UPSEBwould have beneficialimpacts and ultimatellythey will improve the land use pattern.

6.0 Investigation of PCB based eauipments in UPSEB & its safe disposal:-

PolychlorinatedBiphenyls (PCBs) have been manufacturedby companiesof USA. Japan, Germany.UK and have been cxtensively used in electricalequipments, such as transformersand capacitors,because of there outstandingpropertics of thermal stability, dielectricproperties, non-flammabilityetc.. However PCBs were later on found to be very hazardousenvironmentally and thus restrictionson use of PCBs began and there production decreasedthrough 1970's, on account of voluntary limitationsand Governmentrestrictions. 1Finalrestrictions on use of PCls were published by US-EIPAin 1985 and council of OECD in 1987. As per the report published by World Bank titled "Managementof PCBs- India" and as corroboratedby "EnvironmentalFramework and Safeguardsfor TransmissionProjccts of APSIB" it is clear that all old importedtransformers (purchasedprior to 1985) are vulnerableto contain PCBs. However transforners manufacturedindigenously, do not contain PCB matter. As far as capacitors are concerned,BHEL has intimatedthat capacitors manufacturedby them prior to 1985, did contain PCB.

-4- UPSEBcarried out detailedinvestigation to find existenceof PCB based equipments 18 No. importedtranormers of Hitachi/Mitsubishimake and 76 No.capacitorshaving PCB contents have beenidentified. It is proposed that adeast two saunpleseach of both manufacturers of transformers(viL M/s Hitachi& Mls Mitsubishi)be tested for PCBcontamination. Capacitorsare sealedunits from which there is no provisionto draw oil sample for testing. Oil used in capacitors,is hardly I to 2 liLerand being sealed unitscapacitors, do not cause much concem. However,safe disposalof phased out capacitorsand tansformer oil shall be carried out as per PCBmanagement plan listed in Chap 6-(6.8).

7.0 Analysis of Alternatives:

The analysisof variouspossible alternatives forms a veryimportant part of project planning. In orderto selectthe best possible shortestand economicalroute for the line, thorough and detailed reconnaissancesurvey is carried out so as to analyzedifferent alternatives. Tle environmentaladvantages and disadvantagesof the variousaltematives are analyzed for identifyingthe environmentallysuperior project altemnativewhich fulfills the requirement of EnvironmentalFramework and SafeguardPolicy of UPSEBand at the same time, is also safe, reliable and economical. For selectionof environmentallysuperior ansmission line route, the basic principleof AVOIDANCEof protected/reservedforsts, nationalparks, structuresand places of culturalistorical importance;religious places; touristplaces; human habitats;villages; schools;hospitals; areas subject to submergence/settlement;interference with railway circuits and telecommunicationlines etc. is adhered to. Comparativestudy of diffcrentalternatives, is carried out and route which is found to be feasible;safe; economicaland with least possible advcrseenvironmental impacts is selected and approvedfor taking up constructionwork For land acquisitionfor Sub-stations- GovtLland; waste land; barrenland/dry agricultural land, are given preferencein the same order.

8.0 Environmental hnpacts of Tnssion Projects:

The electricitypower transmissionsystem includes and incorporatesthe transmission line; its Right of Way (ROW), Switchyards,Sub-stations and access or maintenanceroads. The principlestructures of the transsmissionline includes the line itself, conductors,towers and supportsetc.Thc voltageicapacityof the transmissionline affecLsthe sizes required for these principalstructures. The ROW in which transmissionlinc, is constructedranges in width from 7 meters (for I I KV line) to 85 meters (for 800KV line).

The major environmentalimpacts of power tansmission systemcan be the loss of vegetation;loss of forests;change in land use pattem; loss of human habitats and involuntary rcsettlement environmcntalhazards due to PCBsin the electrical equipments and impact in culturalhistorical heritageof area, and interferencewith telecommunicationlines due to EMF induced effects; Besidesthese, minorenvionmental impacts of transmission system can be, electrocutionhazards; noise problemsin Sub-stations;chemical contaminationof sites; fire hazards and loss of sensitive areas like wild lands/wet lands etc.. Theabove mentioned environmental impacts could ocCurduring different stages of projectlife viz. Planning,Construction, and Operation& Maintenanceof power trwnsmission line.

Duringplanning stage because of inherentflexibility in route selection factors like impactsin sensitiveareas, loss of human habitationsand impacton land use,aviation hazards etc. can be eliminatedor managedin such a way that environmentudimpacts are minimized.

Duringconstruction stage impactscan be minimizedI eliminatedby proper grading of Sub-stationssites/tower locations; proper fencing to avoid electrocutionhazards;proper designingof tower bases and revetmentsvis-a-vis land slide impacts;proper storage and liquid impoundmentfor fuels, waste, raw materials so as to preventspills/leakages and contaminations of soil/surfacewater etc.

Similarlyduring operationand maintenancestage by maintainingproper clearancesin ROW (i.e. cuttingand trimmingof trees); by preventingnoise from transfonnersetc. (i.e. periodicalexamination of core bolts, core plates, looseexternal fittings etc.); by checkingoil leakagesfrom joints of transforners; by lireprecaution from hazardsdue to ignition of insulatingoil in oil filled switchgears/transformers,the environmentalimpacts can be minimized/eliminated.

9.0 Environment Manafement Plans:

UPSEBplaces great emphasis on environmentmanagement and quality of service by addressingenvironmental issues in its projects. The impactsof transmissionprojects on environmentare identified.Whilethe projectsare planned,constructed.operatedand maintained the mitigationmeasures are taken for addressingthe environme;ntalimpacts.

Mitigationmeasures at planning stage includeavoidance of environmentallysensitive areas, avoidance of environmentallyadverse features(high mountains,steep slopes, land slide prone areas, marshy lands etc.); giving priority to Govt land/barrenor waste land/dry agriculturalland; total banningon use of PCii basedelectrical equipments etc..

Mitigationmeasures at constructionstage include keeping level of switchyardsatleast 500 mm above HFL; provisionof dike bunds/embankments- if required; avoiding construction during harvestingseason, usageof modernand best technologyto ensure least pollution during constructionactivities; installationof GI) tubes/undergroundcabling/microwave system required for preventinginterference with telecom lines;restriction of access to public/childrcn/animalfor preventingelectrocution hazards; providingclearances as per Indian E-lectricityRules - 1956 etc.

Mitigation meaSuresfor operation& maintenancestage include allowing regenerationin ROW,clearingthe undesirablegrowth by manualmechanical methods,adopting sprinkler system or other fire control measuresto check/controlfire hazards; regular checking to prevent oil leakage and noise pollutionfrom transformners;keeping frrst aid kits readily available at Sub- stations etc.. The-institutionalframework for carrying out all the above works include interaction between tanmission organization; design wing of transrnission organization; civil wing; Social and Environmental Cell of UPSEB and, for training partwith Director General. Human Resources Development Directorate, UPSEB as elaborated in this chapter.

10. Public Awareness:

Transmission projects do not create much environmcntal impacts which may result in resistance from public. Inspite of this, UPSEB has a firrmcommitmnent towards public awareness of possible environmental impacls, however minor these may be. As a first step, as per Section - 29 of Electricity (Supply) Act- 1948 ,public notification in local newspaper shall be published to invite objections from public within 60 days. Public contact drivcs shall also be organized by the field units to create awareness about social & cnvironmental impacts. Public suggestions shall be given due weightagc and good suggestions shall be incorporated in Environmental Management Plans.

Estimated Cost: Rs. 17.52 Lakhs.

Target date of Commissioning: March, 2001.

Description: 220 KV Hardoi Road Sub-station is proposed to be fed from 220 KV Sarojini Nagar Sub-station through existing 220 KV, Sarojini Nagar - Sitapur line. This line will be diverted and LILO of this line will be made at the Sub-station. Thus there will be two 220 KV feeders from the Sub-station viz. Hardoi Road - Sarojini Nagar and Hardoi Road - Sitapur. The Sub-station would get power on Hardoi Road - Sarojini Nagar circuit and will feed power to Sitapur,132 KV TRT. 132 KV NKN and 132 KV Neebu Park Sub-stations. This will improve power supply posilion of these Sub-stations. The benefits in terms of reduction in line losses will be reflected in reduced losses in the distribution network through realignment of the loads to the nearest primary transmission Sub-station.

Route Seleclion and Environmental Features: 220 KV Sarojini Nagar - Sitapur line is passing just above the land selected for the construction of 220 KV Hardoi Road Sub-station. Therefore no new construction of 220 KV line is required. Only realignment of this existing line has to be done within 1.0 Kilometer of the Sub-station. Hence geographical conditions of this line work remain the same as that of Sub-station. Tlhe recconaitory survey of the area was done by Er. NeeirajSwarup. SDO. The ROW is free from habitations. There are no culturally Ihistorically important places/structures, natural habitats, wild life sanctuaries, gardens. orchards, villages, bird sanctuaries, water reservoirs etc. in the ROW. There is Amausi Airport at Lucknow nearly 20 Kms. and Airforce station at Bakshi-Ka-Talab nearly 30 Kms. from Sub-station site.

Estimated Cost: Rs. 37.00 Lakhs

Target date of Commissioning: March, 2001.

Description: Existing 132 KV Double Circuit TRT - NKN and TRT -Chinhat line passes over the land for construction of 220 KV Hardoi Road Sub-station. The LILO of this D.C. line will be made at the Sub-station. After LILO, there will be two Nos. 132 KV feeders from Hardoi Road to TRT Sub-station, 132 KV feeder to NKN and Chinhat Sub-stations. NKN Sub-station at present gets power either from Chinhat or Sitapur. Due to long distances, there is problem of voltage regulation. The diversion of these lines through Hardoi Road Sub-station will improve voltage conditions and will also help in reduction of line losses.

Route Selection and E viromnmentalFeatures: 132 KV D.C. TRT - NKN & TRT - Chinhat line is passing just above the land selected for the construction of 220 KV Hardoi Road Sub-station. Therefore no new construction of 132 KV line is required. On]y realignment of this existing line has to be done withiin2.0 Kms. of the Sub-station. Hence geographical conditions of this line work remains the same as that of the Sub- station. The recconaitoTy survey of the area was done by Er. Neeraj Swarup. SDO. The ROW is free from habitations. There are no culturally/historically important places/structures, natural habitats, wild life sanctuaries, gardens, orchards, villages, bird sanctuaries water reservoirs etc. in the ROW and it is 20 KCms.firom Lucknow Airport and approx. 30 Kms. from Bakshi Ka Talab Airforce base.

ENVIRONMENT MAiNAGEMENT PLANS

The emivironmentalimpacts, which are possible when the transmission Imes and Sub- stations are constructed . have been enumerated . While the prolects are being planned, constmuctedand maintained /operated the mitigation measures are required to be taken for addressin2 these environmental impacts . The mitigation measure for various possible environmental impacts are suggested in this Chapter. Institutional arrangements for implemenlation . monitoring and training aspects are also disctissed in this Chapter.

Mitigation Measures

The mitiation measures proposed for planning. construction. operation and maintenance stages of the transmission projccts arc sugoested as under:

Mitigation measures for planning stage:

(a The environmentally sensitive areas such as reserved forests, wild lands. wet lands, natural habitats of indigenous and foreign birds, bird sanctuaries. wild life sanctuaries and culturally/historically importaut places are as far as possible. avoided while deciding the route of the transmission line. WAhenit is not possible/feasible to avoid the reserved forests. compensatory aftorestaion procedures, as laid down in the Forest Conservation Act .1980 are followed. b While finalizing the route of the twrsmission line. the environmentaliv adverse features like high mountains. huge boulders. steep slopes. hilly areas prone to land slides, large lakes, reservoirs, large stretches of broken lands. marshy places .religious places, schools . hospitals . large play 2rounds. other establishments and villages etc. are also avoided. (c) As far as possible, human habitations, gardens and agricultural lands are avoided while deciding the route of transmission lines or site of Sub-station but when it is not possible/feasible to avoid these then suitable compensation is paid and resettlement and rehabilitation of affected population. is done as per the noris/crileria fixed tinder the Scwial policy and procedures of the UPSEB fonnulated separately. (d) While selectmg the site for Sub-station, prioritv is -Qivento the Government land .barren or waste Land.dry agricultural land in the order mcntioned so that the loss of a2ricultural resources and of land usc is minimized. (e) Routes through nesting sites and crucial bird habitats are avoided to prevent aviation hazards. (f) Polychlorinated biphenyles are not allowed to be used in any equipment

'Note: Contentsof Annexure11 relate to Chapter-9of EnvironrientalFramework & Safeguards for TransrmissionProjects. because thev are envuronmentalivhazardous. (g) Crossing with railwav circuits and telecommunicatioii lines are suitably designed so as to avoid EMF interference (h) The specitication of these are so tramed that noise levels areewthin presucrbedlimits. Mitigation measures for construction stage

(a) Although durino tvieplanning stage itself the possibility of erosion problem is taken care of by avoidine sloped areas but to eliminate the erosion problems altogether. the level of swiichyaids of the Stih-slaiioinis kept alleasi 500 inunihigher thai tIhehighest flood level dHFLi of the area and a sood drainaee system is also provided to ensure quick run off. The levels of the switchvard are also fLxed in such a manner that the area is well graded/sloped so that there is no possibility of stagnation of water. Transmission towers arc to bc so placed that there is no possibility of erosion problems cropping up.

(b) IJfit is not possible to keep the level of switchyard higher than HFI. because of excessive cost mivolvementthen dike bunds and/or embankments are to be provided. In any case the equipmenitshave to be installed at levels higher than HFL.

(c ) 'Problemof erosion is also mitigated bv constructing retaining walls and stone pitchinu. To prevent the erosion of tower pad-s in case of wet lands the tower foundations are designed with eXtrd care aid revetment is done around tower basis. Foundation of towers to he laid in the rivers are designed witlh utmost care bv specialist in the field.

(d) Construction activities are avoided in the cropping season.

(e) Mlodernand best technologies and equipments are adopted/used to ensure least pollution due to construction activities. (f) Safety measures are adopted to minimize the possibility of any accidents durino construction periods. (g_) When the PTCC approval is sought. sometimes PTCC. while communicating its approval. suegests several protection measures to be implemented to eliminate the chances of electrical inierferences to telecomn lines dtie lo indiued voltages. The plotectioIn measures may iinclude installation of Gas Discliarge (GDt Tubes. cablinig or adoption of microwave svsteni to telecom. lines. (i) Installation of GD Tubes: These are restoring type glass tubes filled with inert gas. WVhenthe fault current duc to induction, arises and cxcceds certain limits,thc gas m the GD)tubes become conducting and induced voltages are earthed without causinLgaffect to telecom. lines. Afier discharge of high voltage,the GD tubes restore its normal conditions and become non-conducting.

Oi) Cabling.Q:When a number of GD tubes are necessitated for protection. underground Telecom cable is used in place of overhead

-41- lines. The metallicjelly, provided around the cable havino telecom lines, transfers the induced voltaoes to the earth.

(iii ) Microwave System: Nhere many telecom lines pass parallel to the power line and where economy in cost is not a crucial factor. microwave sYstemis provided.Communication signals are transmitted throubh niicrowave towers, installed at hieli elevations and therefore. interferences with power lines are eliminated altooether.

(iv) Cle.anaces: In order t1) minimize EMF interferences. the following niiniilununiclearances betweenithie power lines ajnd telecoiiuuiuimication lines are maintained:

Line Capacity Mimunumclearance Upto 33/66KV 2.44 mcters 66 KV to 132 KV 2.75 meters 132 KV to 220 KV 3.05 meters

(h. The access of public. children and animals to the Sub-station area and transmission line towers are restricted to eliitnmate the chances of accidents due to electrocution and fire hazards. For this purpose this sub-stationl areas are well protected/secured by providing woven wire Iencins consisting of barbed wires fixed to the R('( posts or angle iron posts. Switchvard areas are sonmetinmeenclosed by pale fenicine . For restricting access to towers of transmission lines. barbed wire fencmQ and anti- climbing devices are provided. In addition to these aTrangement. danger sienal boards/notices are installed at all crucial points. Distribution transformers are well fenced and smaller equipments are installedon poles with anti-climbin, devices. All installation are made as per electncity act and are periodically inspected.

(i) The following clauses are included in the tender specification and aoreements so that contractors are made responsible for implementing)the mitigalive measures requtie.d for enviromnnienil imipacls:,

(i) The eround clearances work- required for startine for construction work. shall be done by the contractor only by manual or mechanical methods and no chemicals methods will be allowed to be adopted.

(ii) '[bie contractor shall provide proper drainape system to ensure that the area of construction is not flooded or eroded .For this no extra payment will be admissible.

('iii'> The contractor shall mak-ehimself fully acquainted with the environmental policy of UPSEB and required miligation measures and shall be responsible for implementiny Lhesemeasures., as per the directions of the en2ineer-in-charge. for which no extra payment will be admissible.

(iv) The contractor shall make all necessary arrangement to eliminate the chances of accidents.
