EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1. The Rajasthan Urban Sector Development Program (RUSDP) will complement the past and ongoing efforts of Government of Rajasthan (GOR) to improve water supply and wastewater services to the residents of the state of Rajasthan. The program component of the RUSDP will support policy reforms and consolidate institutional development and governance improvement in the urban sector in the state, while the investment component of the RUSDP will invest in water distribution network improvements and sewerage systems in the six project cities1 each having a population of more than 100,000 and identified considering the lack of basic services at present and willingness to undertake reforms and institutional restructuring. RUSDP will be implemented over a five-year period beginning in March 2015, and will be funded by ADB via a sector development program (SDP) loan modality

2. RUSDP Phase - 3 program was conceived to include a grant component contributed by BMGF through the RUIDP’s existing framework to address the issue of decentralized wastewater and city-wide Faecal Sludge and Septage Management (FSSM) across Rajasthan. Initial outlay for this grant is US$ 2 million and this fund is to be utilized for conducting pilot studies in various project towns. Such project aims to find innovative sanitation solutions, conduct pilot studies in pocket areas which are devoid of conventional sewerage system, capture information for replicable model, explore possibility of engaging private service providers, and develop institutional framework and capacity building. In the initial stages of the project, the focus was on the six RUIDP project towns (Tonk, Bhilwara, Pali, Hanumangarh, Sri Ganganagar and Jhunjhunu), along with 4 additional Program Loan towns (Jhalawar, Sawai Madhopur, Bikaner and Kota). Micro-scale pilot studies were conducted in two towns of Tonk and Jhalawar where identified pockets were in the core city area and left out from conventional sewerage system which included on-site sanitation solutions at a neighbourhood scale.

3. Rajasthan Urban Infrastructure Development Project (RUIDP) under ADB, is proposing to implement a Faecal Sludge Treatment Plant for Khandela in Rajasthan to assess the current gaps in sanitation across the towns and suggest sustainable and cost effective ways to manage faecal sludge generated within its boundary.

4. ADB requires consideration of environmental issues in all aspects of the Bank’s operations, and the requirements for Environmental Assessment are described in ADB’s SPS (2009). This Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) addresses the infrastructure components proposed under Khandela FSSM project.

5. Categorization. Khandela FSSM subproject is classified as Environmental Category B as per the SPS as no significant impacts are envisaged. Accordingly, this Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) assesses the environmental impacts and provides mitigation and monitoring measures to ensure that there are no significant impacts as a result of the project.

6. Project Scope. The subproject is formulated to address gaps in faecal sludge and septage across the town of Khandela. The main objective of this project is to improve safe collection of faecal sludge from houses and treatment in a scientific manner to improve sanitation conditions of town. This will have an important effect on public health and environment. Proposed works under this subproject include: (i) to provide technological solutions for faecal sludge management and development of a plan for FSSM (ii)

Construction of a Faecal Sludge Treatment Plant (FSTP) of 10 KLD capacity (iii) Procurement of Desludging Vehicles.

7. Implementation Arrangements. The Local Self Government Department (LSGD) of Government of Rajasthan is the Executing Agency (EA) and existing RUIDP is the Implementing Agency (IA). The LSGD is responsible for overall strategic planning, guidance and management of the RUSDP, and for ensuring compliance with tranche release conditions and loan covenants. A policy support unit has been established in the LSGD to support the government for implementation of the tranche release policy actions under the program loan. The RUIDP is responsible for planning, implementation, monitoring and supervision, and coordination of all activities under the RUSDP. The RUIDP has recruited Design and Supervision Consultant to prepare DPR and bid documents and provide assistance during construction of the facility. Project Management Unit (PMU) at Jaipur will overall responsible for management and monitoring of the whole project. Once the infrastructure is built and commissioned, the Urban Local Bodies will operate and maintain the infrastructure through contractor for 5 years, and later on their own. Project Officer (Environment) at PMU with help of consultant will be responsible for environment management and monitoring activities, and will be supported by Environment Safeguard Specialist of PMDSC Team. Contractor personnel will include an Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) supervisor.

8. Description of the Environment. Subproject site of proposed FSTP is situated in Khandela town, which is a town in Sikar district, approx 100 kms away from Jaipur city. Environmental conditions of the town are generally dry during summer and affected with low rainfall. Proposed land for construction of FSTP is demarcated by Municipal Council. Currently solid waste from town is disposed here by burial method. There are no trees present and no wildlife exists here. There are no surface water body at or near the site.

9. The land proposed for FSTP is government land and NOC has been furnished from Khandela ULB, and therefore no land acquisition issue may arise. There is no dense habitation exist upto 200 metres from site, though there are some scattered habitation exists near the site but no impact to people may envisage.

10. Environmental Management. An environmental management plan (EMP) is included as part of this IEE, which includes (i) mitigation measures for environmental impacts during implementation; (ii) an environmental monitoring program, and the responsible entities for mitigating, monitoring, and reporting; (iii) public consultation and information disclosure; and (iv) a grievance redress mechanism. A number of impacts and their significance have already been reduced by amending the designs. The construction phase EMP will be included in civil work bidding and contract documents.

11. Potential impacts were identified in relation to location, design, construction and operation of the improved infrastructure. During the construction phase, impacts mainly arise from the need to dispose of moderate quantities of waste soil and health and safety risk to workers during construction and operation. These are common temporary impacts of construction in urban areas, and there are well developed methods for their mitigation. Mitigation measures have been developed to reduce all potential negative impacts to acceptable levels.

12. Measures such as appropriate scheduling of works (non-monsoon season, low traffic hours, etc.,) and minimizing inconvenience by best construction methods will be employed. In the operational phase, all facilities and infrastructure will operate with routine maintenance, which should not affect the environment. 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.

13. Mitigation measures have been developed to reduce all negative impacts to acceptable levels. Mitigation will be assured by a program of environmental monitoring to be conducted during construction. The environmental monitoring program will ensure that all measures are implemented, and will determine whether the environment is protected as intended. It will include observations on- and off-site, document checks, and interviews with workers and beneficiaries. Any requirements for corrective action will be reported to the ADB.

14. The stakeholders were involved in developing the IEE through discussions on-site and public consultation, 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 in the city and will be disclosed to a wider audience via the ADB and RUIDP 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.

15. The citizens of the Khandela Town will be the major beneficiaries of this subproject. The system of desludging vehicles which includes emptying the septic tank and pit latrines by private and government operators, will safely remove the human waste from individual homes and other entities that will scientifically treated in modern facility (FSTP). Combined with the on-going investments in sewage treatment, this subproject, in addition to improved environmental conditions, will improve the over-all health condition of the town. People would 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.

16. Consultation, Disclosure and Grievance Redress. Public consultations were done in the preparation of the project and IEE. Consultations will continue throughout the project implementation period with the assistance of the consultant’s team. A grievance redress mechanism is described within the IEE to ensure any public grievances are addressed quickly.

17. Monitoring and Reporting. The PMU and supervision consultant will be responsible for monitoring. The PMU will submit quarterly/semi-annual monitoring reports to ADB. ADB will post the environmental monitoring reports on its website.

18. Conclusions and Recommendations. The proposed project 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).

8. The ADB guidelines stipulate addressing environmental concerns, if any, of a proposed activity in the initial stages of project preparation. For this, the ADB SPS categorizes the proposed projects into various categories (A, B or C) to determine the level of environmental assessment required to address the potential impacts. Level of environmental assessment required for each category is presented below.

(i) Category A: Projects with potential for significant adverse environmental impacts. An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is required to address significant impacts. (ii) Category B: Projects likely to have some adverse environmental impacts, but of lesser degree and/or significance than those for Category A. An initial environmental examination (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 unlikely to have adverse environmental impacts. No EIA or IEE is required, although environmental implications are still reviewed.

9. The environmental impacts of Khandela FSSM subproject have been identified and assessed as part of the planning and design process. An environmental assessment using ADB’s Rapid Environmental Assessment Checklist for Water Supply and Sewerage (Appendix 1) was conducted, and results of the assessment show that the subproject is unlikely to cause significant adverse impacts. Thus, this IEE has been prepared in accordance with ADB SPS’s requirements for environment category B projects.

II. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT Existing Conditions

A. Existing Water Supply in Khandela

10. Khandela is supplied with water from the SDS distributaries of the Ramoli River. That amounts to around 54 LPCD. But the water supply has to be increased for the increased population. There is plan for establishing filter plants in North. Total water supply connections are 78.2 % of total households (HH), out of which only 17% are metered.

B. Existing Sanitation system in Khandela

11. As per 2011 Census, 58.3% of the HH’s are have a toilet/access to toilet within their premises. Apart from that, there are 9 Community toilets that have been constructed by the Nagar Panchayat. Each would be catering to approximately 200 users. There is 1 Public toilet in the Market area and it caters to 0.6% of the population. According to the Census 2011, 41.1% of HH’s were practicing open defecation. Khandela Nagar Palika with the help of funds from Swachh Bharat Mission (Urban) approved construction of 935 individual household latrines (Data up to Nov 13, 2017). As of now, Khandela Municipal Board has declared itself Open Defecation Free.

12. The containment systems are mostly septic tanks, with a few single pits. It is estimated that 50% of toilets are connected to septic tanks. The average size of these septic tanks are 8X5.5X6.5 feet which varies considerably on available area. There are 1 Public Toilet and 9 Community Toilet with 5 seats and 86 seats respectively in Khandela. All public toilets are owned and constructed by the Nagar Palika and then leased out privately either through Sulabh or any other organisation, who are then responsible for the operation and maintenance.

16

13. Disposal methods of Faecal Sludge: Khandela city is serviced by desludging vehicle owned by the private operators as well as govt. operator. Private operators serve from Sikar itself and they operate demand based and provide service as and when they receive a request. The ULB owns a desludging truck but is not in function, the people mostly depend on private desludging operators who charge anything between Rs 800 -2000.

C. Existing solid waste management in Khandela

14. Solid waste: Door-to-door collection of solid waste is not practiced in the town. Efficiency of collection of municipal solid waste is 86%. No segregation is practiced in the town. Garbage is collected from residential areas during the day time, whereas commercial areas are served 2 times in a day, especially the vegetable and grain markets. Approximate quantity of solid waste generated is around 3.5 - 4.4 tons.

D. Proposed works in Khandela

15. Construction of FSTP- A FSTP of 10 KLD capacity is proposed in Khandela, on the existing solid waste dumping site which is owned by ULB. This FSTP will treat all the septage collected from the town. Procurement of one no. desludging equipment of capacity 4000 liters has been proposed for desludging the individual containment units such as septic tanks, Single Pits latrines etc. under this subproject. The development of existing approach road is also under scope in this project. The Location of site with respect to city is shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1 Location of FSTP Site (27°35'28.38"N7 75°29'20.06"E) - Khandela

16. FSTP Concept Proposed For Khandela: This faecal sludge treatment unit is designed for 10 cum capacity. The sludge from households of Khandela town would be conveyed 6 days in a week to the treatment unit. The faecal sludge shall first be made to pass through the screening chambers (12 nos) for the retention of course materials/ solid waste present in the faecal sludge. The liquid sludge would be conveyed to PDBs (12 nos) where they are allowed to degrade naturally with the help of specific plant. The planted drying beds are structures with sloped base for holding graded filter media. The sludge

17 undergoes liquid-solid separation and also drying. The dried sludge from the planted drying beds are removed once in 1 or 2 years depending on rate of feeding and the rest of the part which is the liquid percolate or effluent wastewater is conveyed to the separate treatment units. The effluent wastewater is then treated in two stages (primary and secondary stage) in DEWATS modules. The primary stages i.e. Settler is mainly meant for Sedimentation of any solids that have entered the modules along with the percolate. The secondary stage i.e. Anaerobic Filter is for the anaerobic degradation of any dissolved and suspended organic matter. The partially treated wastewater from the secondary treatment unit would be conveyed into the horizontal planted gravel filter takes place. The treated wastewater from the planted gravel filter is allowed to soak into the ground through a polishing pond and it can be reused for agriculture by placing polythene sheet at the bottom of pond to stop seepage into the ground. In future, if the quantity of faecal sludge is expected to increase significantly the same system can be replicated in the selected location to accommodate the extra loads. The area available in the selected location for FSTP is 5 acres. Table 2 presents the details of modules of FSTP along with their required area.

III. DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT Physical Resources

Location, Area & Connectivity

18. Khandela is an important town in north part of Rajasthan situated in Sikar District. The town spread in 12 km2 is a sub-district headquarter situated on state highway 37. Khandela is 100 km from state capital Jaipur and 52 from its district headquarter sikar. Khandela is a distinct and old town in Shekhawati Region. The closest railway station to the town is Shri Madhopur & Palsana Station. The town can be reached by road from Sikar and railways, which connect it to Jaipur. The people are mainly engaged in Business, agricultural and industrial works.

Topography, Soils and Geology

19. Sikar district is divided into two major topographic units - the western half and the eastern half. The western half is identified by the waste land and the sand dunes. Whereas, the eastern half is identified by the range of hills which trend from north-east to south-west. The hills in this half prevent the incoming of sand from the western half and Khandela is comes under this part.

20. The region towards south of Khandela in Sri Madhopur tehsil in the center is an undulating plain. The district does not contain any perennial rivers.

21. The important non-metallic minerals found here are calcite, apatitue, dolomite, limestone, fluorite, private pyrnihatite, talc and mica. Apart from these, quartz, barites and silica are also extracted. The presence of radio-active minerals and melybalnite in Khandela-Ghateshwar are still to be investigated. In addition to these minerals, stones used for building are also found in abundance in Sikar. Lime stone is found in Neem-ka-Thana.

Seismology

22. As per the seismic zoning map of India, Khandela falls under the Zone II (MSK VI). Zone II is the “low damage risk zone” as per seismic zone classification.

Climatic Conditions

23. Khandela experiences semi-arid and dry climate characterized by hot summers, cold winters with low rainfall during south-west monsoon period. The summer seasons are long starting in the month of March and ends in the month of June. Temperatures range from a minimum of 2°C in winter and can rise up to a maximum of 48°C in summers. Wind direction is south – west to north – east during monsoon. The annual average rainfall is 507.8 mm.

Surface Water

24. There is no major river or nallah or other surface water body at Khandela. No surface water exists near the proposed site of FSTP.

Groundwater

25. Groundwater in Khandela is at approximate depth of 100 m below the ground. Areas

21 around Khandela indicate the occurrence of bedrock at very deep levels i.e., in between 100 to 120m bgl and even in some patches seen with more than 120m depth below ground level.

Air Quality

26. Due to the location in dry semi-arid zone coupled with dust storms, especially during the summer months, the particulate matter in ambient air is likely to be high. The roads are not in good condition, traffic on these roads and winds are the main source of dust generation. Industrial development in the town is limited to few small-scale industries, and therefore air pollution from industrial activity is negligible.

27. Ambient air quality in Rajasthan is monitored by Rajasthan Pollution Control Board. However, at present there is no monitoring station in Khandela. Ambient Air Quality Monitoring is required to establish baseline conditions before start of construction works.

Noise Quality

28. As there are no major industrial or alike other activities in Khandela city area, there is no major source of noise pollution in the town. Main source of noise pollution in the city area is traffic only that also in main and busy roads and other inner and connecting roads are quite peaceful. Noise quality Monitoring is required to establish baseline conditions before start of construction works.

Ecological Resources

29. Proposed subproject components are located in the Khandela town area, an urban area located in arid dry zone covered mostly with sandy soil. The city is located in Aravali mountain ranges.

30. Natural vegetation mainly consists of sparse, scattered shrubs and grasses. The fauna of the town comprises mainly domesticated animals. Within the town, tree cover is very limited. Major trees found within town are mostly planted beside the roads in open public areas and comprises mainly Babool, Keekar, Neem, Pipal, Sheesham, Mango and Ber etc. There are no wild flora and fauna exist within or near to proposed site.

Industry & Agriculture

31. Industrial development in khandela is very limited. The town has mainly household industries for Gota, Kinari, Plastic Roll, Biscuits, Wooden toys. There are no small or medium Industry. There are limited commercial activities mainly concentrated on MDR 100 and state highway 37.

Socio Cultural Resources

Demography

32. Khandela is a town located in east of district Sikar, 52.5 Km from the city Sikar, the divisional headquarters for the district. The closest station to the town is Shri Madhopur & Palsana Station. In the 2011 India census, Khandela recorded a population of 22,475. Males constituted 11567 (50.9%) of the population and females 10909 (49.1%). Khandela had an average literacy rate of 69.4%, higher than the national average of 59.5%: male literacy was 84.1%, and female literacy was 53.9%. Total working population is 6140 ( 27.31% of population) with 5166 main worker and 974 marginal workers.

History, Culture and Tourism

33. History: At earlier Khandela was the part of Jaipur. So the history of Khandela is similar to Jaipur. There are three major forts namely (i) Bada Panagarh (ii) Chota Panagarh (iii) Dheerajgarh. Khandela was known as Khandila and Khandelpura. It was the regional center of Jain and Shaiv religion. Khandelwal Jain and Khandelwal Brahmin are emerged from Khandela. This is the place where Rajpot community converted into Baniya community and after that is was known as Maheshwari. Maheshwari community stated 5000 years before and they have made this our mother land. Jaisingh, the king of Jaipur divided the Khandela into two parts but after him King Ishwar Singh joined these two parts.

34. Tourism: Khandela is 62 km. away from Sikar via Udaipurwati and 48 km. via Palsana. Khandela is a historical town surrounded by Aravali hills and can captivate the tourists towards its historical monuments like Bara Pana Fort, Chhota Pana Fort, Gopinath Temple, Bihari Temple, Nar Singh Temple, Charoda, Rashora's Garden and Bawaries which are worth visiting. Raja Raishal Darbari Captured Khandela from Nirbans in 1568 and established his rule over it.

Environmental Settings of Investment Program Component Sites

35. The subproject scope includes construction of Faecal Sludge Treatment Plant (FSTP) of 10 KLD capacity, procurement of Desludging vehicles. The land for construction of this FSTP is government land which belongs to Municipal Council, Khandela and currently used as solid waste dumping site. There are no dense habitations within 200 mtrs area around the proposed site. There are no trees and shrubs present at site and no wildlife exists within or near to proposed site. There is no surface water body within or near the site. Therefore, there will be no significant adverse environmental impacts due to proposed works. Photographs of project sites are given in Appendix 14.

IV. ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES Introduction

36. Potential environmental impacts of the proposed infrastructure components are presented in this section. Mitigation 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 to reduce the impact.

37. 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

23 of the infrastructure facility. These include routine management of operational waste streams, and occupational health and safety issues. 38. 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).

39. 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) requires that impacts and risks will be analyzed during pre-construction, construction, and operational stages in the context of the project’s area of influence.

40. The ADB Rapid Environmental Assessment Checklist for sewerage has been used to screen the project for environmental impacts and to determine the scope of the IEE.

41. 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) 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 (iii) being 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.

Location Impacts:

42. The land for construction of proposed FSTP is government land which belongs to Municipal Council, Khandela and currently used as solid waste dumping site. There are no dense habitations within 200 mtrs area around the proposed site. There are no trees and shrubs present at site and no wildlife exists. There is no surface water body within or near the site. Therefore, there will be no environmental impacts due to proposed works.

Design Impacts:

43. During design phase various factors such as faecal sludge characteristics, quantity being presently generated, climatic conditions, soil characteristics and financial and technical capacity of municipal body were considered. Sludge treatment involves different treatment steps where available techniques can be combined in various ways depending on the existing constraints and the treatment objectives.

44. Faecal sludge can be treated in a variety of ways and there is no single best option considering the widely varying conditions of urban areas. The criteria for short listing options for this project are based on area requirement, treatment efficiency, simplicity in operation and maintenance, reliability and robustness of treatment modules, odour and public nuisance and cost effectiveness of the system at capex and opex levels. On the basis of these factors various suitable and possible technologies such as Planted Drying Beds, Integrated Settler and Anaerobic Baffle Filter and Polishing Pond considered.

45. The Dried sludge produced from drying beds will be co-composted with municipal organic waste. In case ULB does not consider option for co composting, the dried sludge will be is safe to dispose in landfill as it has already dried for a year in Planted Drying Beds contains no helminth or pathogens.

Construction Impacts:

46. Construction impacts will mainly arise due to excavation and earth transportation and

24 health risk to workers engaged in construction works, no impacts on flora and fauna will be envisaged due to proposed works. There will be no disruption of utilities due to construction works as no utilities exist at site. The potential impacts are negative and short term and can be easily mitigated by good construction practices and mitigation measures. Potential construction impacts are described in following paragraphs.

47. Sources of Materials. Significant amount of gravel, sand, coarse aggregate, and cement will be required for this project. The construction contractor will be required to:

(i) Use material sources permitted by government3; (ii) Verify suitability of all material sources and obtain approval of PIU; and (iii) Submit to PIU on a monthly basis documentation of sources of materials

48. Air Quality. Emissions from construction vehicles, equipment, and machinery used for excavation and construction will induce impacts on the air quality in the construction sites. Anticipated impacts include dusts and increase in concentration of vehicle-related pollutants such as carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides, particulate matter, nitrous oxides, and hydrocarbons. These however will be temporary limiting to construction activities only. To mitigate the impacts, construction contractors will be required to:

(i) Consult with PIU/Consultant on the designated areas for stockpiling of, soils, gravel, and other construction materials; (ii) Damp down exposed soil and any stockpiled material on site by water sprinkling; (iii) Use tarpaulins to cover sand and other loose material when transported by trucks; (iv) Clean wheels and undercarriage of haul trucks prior to leaving construction site (v) Don't allow access in the work area except workers to limit soil disturbance and prevent access by barricading and security personnel (vi) Fit all heavy equipment and machinery with air pollution control devices which are operating correctly. For other vehicles and equipments, contractor will submit PUC certificate to PIU before deployment at site. (vii) Obtain, CTE and CTO for batching plant, hot mix plant, crushers etc. if specifically established for this project. (viii) If contractor is purchasing ready mix concrete, asphalt/macadam and aggregates from third party, contractor will assure that all the parties/suppliers are having CTE/CTO from RPCB and will collect the copy of these certificates and submit to PIU/consultants (ix) Conduct Air Quality Monitoring on quarterly basis and submit report to PIU/Consultants

49. Noise and Vibration Levels. Construction works will be conducted in designated site only i.e. at FSTP in Khandela urban area, where there are no residential or commercial activities. Other sensitive receptors are not present near the site which may be affected due to construction activities. Nevertheless, the construction contractor will be required to:

(i) Plan activities so that activities with the greatest potential to generate noise are conducted during periods of the day which will result in least disturbance; (ii) Horns should not be used unless it is necessary to warn other road users or animals of the vehicle’s approach; (iii) Minimize noise from construction equipment by using vehicle silencers, fitting jackhammers with noise-reducing mufflers, and use portable street barriers to minimise sound impact to surrounding sensitive receptor; and

3 CTE and CTO will be required for batching plant, hot mix plant, crushers etc. if specifically established for this project. If contractor is purchasing raw material or ready mix concrete, asphalt/macadam and aggregates from third party, he has to be assured that third party is having CTE/CTO from RPCB and should collect the copy of these and submit to PIU/consultants

25

(iv) Maintain maximum sound levels not exceeding 80 decibels (dBA) when measured at a distance of 10 m or more from the vehicle/s. Contractor is required to have portable hand held noise level meter to measure the sound level during construction works and operation of vehicle and equipment. (v) Conduct noise monitoring/ inspection according to the Environmental Management Plan (EMP)

50. Occupational Health and Safety. Workers need to be mindful of the occupational hazards which can arise from working in height and excavation works. Potential impacts are negative and long-term but reversible by mitigation measures. The construction contractor will be required to:

(i) Comply with all national, state and local labor laws (see Appendix 7); (ii) Develop and implement site-specific occupational health and safety (OH&S) Plan which will include measures such as: (a) excluding public from the site; (b) ensuring all workers are provided with and use personal protective equipment; (c) OH&S Training4 for all site personnel; (d) documented procedures to be followed for all site activities; and (e) documentation of work-related accidents; (iii) Ensure that qualified first-aider is present at all times. Equipped first-aid stations shall be easily accessible throughout the site; (iv) Provide medical insurance coverage for workers; (v) Secure all installations from unauthorized intrusion and accident risks; (vi) The project area experiences extreme temperature during summer months of April and May, which may affect the health of workers engaged in construction work. Contractor should take necessary measures during summers including the following: a. Work schedule should be adjusted to avoid peak temperature hours (12 – 3 PM) b. Provide appropriate shade near the work place; allow periodic resting and provide adequate water c. Provide necessary medicine and facilities to take care of dehydration related health issues (vii) Provide supplies of potable drinking water; (viii) Provide clean eating areas where workers are not exposed to hazardous or noxious substances; (ix) Provide H&S orientation training to all new workers to ensure that they are apprised of the basic site rules of work at the site, personal protective protection, and preventing injuring to fellow workers; (x) Provide visitor orientation if visitors to the site can gain access to areas where hazardous conditions or substances may be present. Ensure also that visitor/s do not enter hazard areas unescorted; (xi) Ensure the visibility of workers through their use of high visibility vests when working in or walking through heavy equipment operating areas; (xii) Ensure moving equipment is outfitted with audible back-up alarms; (xiii) Mark and provide sign boards for hazardous areas such as energized electrical devices and lines, service rooms housing high voltage equipment, and areas for storage and

4 Some of the key areas that may be covered during training as they relate to the primary causes of accidents include (i) slips, trips and falls; (ii) personal protective equipment; (iii) ergonomics, repetitive motion, and manual handling; (iv) workplace transport; and (v) legislation and responsibilities. Training can provide the foundations of competence but it does not necessarily result in a competent worker. Therefore, it is essential to assess staff competence to ensure that the training provided is relevant and effective. Supervision and monitoring arrangements shall be in place to ensure that training has been effective and the worker is competent at their job. The level of supervision and monitoring required is a management decision that shall be based on the risks associated with the job, the level of competence required, the experience of the individual and whether the worker works as part of a team or is a lone worker.

26 disposal. Signage shall be in accordance with international standards and be well known to, and easily understood by workers, visitors, and the general public as appropriate; and (xiv) Disallow worker exposure to noise level greater than 85 dBA for a duration of more than 8 hours per day without hearing protection. The use of hearing protection shall be enforced actively.

51. Work Camps. Operation of work camps can cause temporary air and noise pollution from machine operation, water pollution from storage and use of fuels, oils, solvents, and lubricants. Potential impacts are negative but short-term and reversible by mitigation measures. The proposed site of FSTP is within the site of solid waste management site campus; therefore workers camp should not be established at this site. Therefore, for establishment of workers camp, other location should be considered and the construction contractor will be required to:

(i) Consult PIU/consultants before locating project offices, sheds, and construction plants; (ii) Minimize removal of vegetation and disallow cutting of trees; (iii) Provide drinking water, water for other uses, and sanitation facilities for employees; (iv) Ensure conditions of liveability at work camps are maintained at the highest standards possible at all times; (v) Provide clean fuel such as kerosene, LPG, Solar cooker, electric heaters for cooking food in worker camps, disallow use of fuel wood for cooking food; (vi) Provide mosquito prevention and control in worker camps; (vii) Prohibit employees from poaching wildlife and cutting of trees for firewood; (viii) Train employees in the storage and handling of materials which can potentially cause soil contamination; (ix) Recover used oil and lubricants and reuse or remove from the site; (x) Manage solid waste according to the following preference hierarchy: reuse, recycling and disposal to designated areas; (xi) Remove all wreckage, rubbish, or temporary structures which are no longer required; and (xii) Request PMU to report in writing that the camp has been vacated and restored to pre-project conditions before acceptance of work.

52. Debris disposal. Prior to the commencement of works, contractor shall identify a debris disposal site in consultation with the PIU and Consultant. Contractor will follow all the prescribed rules5 during construction and adhering to following criteria (including but not limited to) :

(i) The site shall be selected preferably from barren, infertile lands. In case agricultural land needs to be selected, top-soil stripping, stacking and preservation should be undertaken prior to initiation of any activities. (ii) Debris disposal site shall be at least 200 m away from surface water bodies.6 (iii) No residential areas shall be located within 100 m downwind side of the site. (iv) The site is minimum 250 m. away from sensitive locations like hospitals, religious places, ponds/lakes or other water bodies. (i) The local governing body and community shall be consulted while selecting the site. (ii) Excess earth, dismantled materials and solid waste shall be disposed as per provisions of Construction and Demolition Waste Management Rules, 2016 and Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016

5Construction and Demolition Waste Management Rules 2016 (refer appendix 8) 6 In the absence of site meeting the stipulated criteria, an alternate site can be selected specifying the reasons. In such a case, the construction camp management plan should incorporate additional measures specific to the site as suggested by the Construction Manager.

27

Operation and Maintenance Impacts:

53. Construction contractor shall also be responsible for Operation and Maintenance of the FSTP for 5 years, under the control of Khandela Municipal Board. The system has a design life of 15-30 years, during which shall not require major repairs or refurbishments and should operate with little maintenance beyond routine actions required to keep the system 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.

54. Improper disposal of dried sludge and silts removed from FSTP could cause inconvenience to public. Dried Sludge and silts shall be collected in trucks and transported to the approved disposal site and or can be used in other ways such as covering material for wastes being for landfill, use as manure in agriculture, filling of low lying areas etc. Municipal Council will be responsible to explore the beneficial usage of sludge and silts from FSTP.

55. There are also certain environmental risks from the operation of the FSTP, most notably is disposal of untreated faecal material which can damage human health and contaminate both soil and groundwater. It will be imperative therefore that the operating agency establishes a procedure to routinely check the operation and integrity of the FSTP, and to implement rapid and effective repairs where necessary.

56. There is an occupation health risk to workers engaged in FSTP maintenance activities. During cleaning/clearing of FSTP system utmost precautions should be taken for the safety of workers conducting such works. Therefore, O&M contractor will be required to-

(i) Ensure that employees and line management understand the risks through proper instruction, training and supervision. (ii) Provide suitable personal protective equipment that may include waterproof / abrasion-resistant gloves, footwear, eye and respiratory protection. Face visors are particularly effective against splashes. Equipment selection and a proper system for inspection and maintenance are important. (iii) Provide adequate welfare facilities, including clean water, soap, nailbrushes, disposable paper towels, and where heavy contamination is foreseeable, showers. (iv) Areas for storage of clean and contaminated equipment should be segregated and separate from eating facilities. (v) Provide adequate first-aid equipment, including clean water or sterile wipes for cleansing wounds, and a supply of sterile, waterproof, adhesive dressings. (vi) Make effective arrangements for monitoring the health of staff. (vii) Keep emergency preparedness plan ready before start the work of cleaning of underground units particularly integrated settler and anaerobic reactor.

57. Detail operation and maintenance plan is given in Appendix 13.

58. The citizens of the Khandela town will be the major beneficiaries of the improved septage management, as they will be provided with a scientific way of treatment and disposal of faecal sludge. In addition to improved environmental conditions, the project will improve the over-all health condition of the town as diseases related to poor sanitation (unhygienic disposal of faecal sludge) will be reduced. This should improve the environment, should deliver major improvements in individual and community health and well-being. Diseases of poor sanitation, such as diarrhea and dysentery, should be reduced, so people should spend less on healthcare and lose fewer working days due to illness, so their

28 economic status should also improve, as well as their overall health.

V. PUBLIC CONSULTATION AND INFORMATION DISCLOSURE Overview

59. 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 and as well as operation 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.

60. A three-tier consultation process has been adopted for RUSDP: focus group discussions, primary household sample surveys and a town-level stakeholder consultation workshop. Most of the main stakeholders have already been identified and consulted during preparation of detail project report and 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, government officials and utility agencies responsible for provision of services, Khandela Municipal Council, Public Health and Engineering Department. Secondary stakeholder are: NGOs and CBOs working in the area, community representatives, beneficiary community in general, government agencies, the executing and implementing agencies (LSGD and RUIDP), Government of India and the ADB.

Public Consultation

61. The public consultation and disclosure program is a continuous process throughout the project implementation, including project planning, design and construction. Detail household survey and Stakeholder consultations were also done in planning phase by consultants. Details of stakeholder consultations are given in Appendix 9.

Consultation during Project Preparation

62. Institutional consultations were conducted with the Governmental Departments such as Local Self Government Department, Pollution Control Board, Khandela Municipal Council, etc in various stages of project planning and design. The project proposals are formulated in consultation with Khandela Municipal Council and the proposals were finalized after certification of Executive Officer and Chairman of Khandela Municipal Council, that the proposals suit the requirements of the ULB.

63. Focus-group discussions with residents and operators of present Faecal sludge and septage collection and disposal system were conducted to learn their views and concerns. A detail household survey has been conducted in the town, covering sample households, to understand the household characteristics, and the infrastructure service levels, and also the demand for infrastructure services.

64. It was observed that people are willing to extend their cooperation as the proposed activities are proposed to enhance the infrastructure service levels and the living standard of the public. The public expressed their concern regarding the nuisance and disturbance due to present conditions of sludge and septage collection and disposal system. Public demanded for improvement in existing services in the town. Public opined that an appropriate operation and maintenance system should be in place, especially for desludging and collection system, for its best functioning and to have the maximum health and aesthetic benefits.

30

Consultation during construction

67. Prior to start of construction, contractor and consultants will conduct information dissemination sessions at town and solicit the help of the local community leaders/prominent citizens to encourage the participation of the people to discuss various environmental issues. 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, and provide a mechanism through which stakeholders can participate in project monitoring and evaluation.

68. A constant communication will be established with the residents and communities to redress the environmental issues likely to surface during construction and operational phases and also regarding the grievance redress mechanism. Municipal Board and consultants 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.

Information Disclosure

69. Executive summary of the IEE will be translated in the local language and made available at the offices of Municipal Board office and RUIDP PMU office. Copies of summary will be provided to participants of city level workshop to be organized in Khandela. 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 RUIDP after approval by Government and ADB. Stakeholders will also be made aware of grievance register and redress mechanism.

70. 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 Municipal Board 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.

VI. GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM Project Specific Grievance Redress Mechanism

71. A project-specific grievance redress mechanism (GRM) has been established to receive, evaluate, and facilitate the resolution of stakeholders’ concerns, complaints, and grievances about the social and environmental performance at the level of the project. The GRM will aim to provide a time-bound and transparent mechanism to record and resolve social and environmental concerns linked to the project.

72. Common GRM. 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 project. 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.

73. People will have the flexibility of conveying grievances/suggestions by dropping grievance redress/suggestion forms in complaints/suggestion boxes will be installed by project ULB/ PMU or by e-mail, by post, or by writing in a complaints register in ULB/PMU offices. Appendix 12 has the sample grievance registration form. Careful documentation of

31 the 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 will be undertaken. The PMU Project Officers (Environment & Social) will have the overall responsibility for timely grievance redress respectively on environmental and social safeguards issues and for registration of grievances, related disclosure, and communication with the aggrieved party through the ULB and contractor.

Grievance Redress Process

74. In case of grievances that are immediate and urgent in the perception of the complainant, the contractor, and supervision personnel from consultant team on-site will provide the most easily accessible or first level of contact for quick resolution of grievances. Contact phone numbers and names of the concerned contractor will be posted at construction site at visible locations.

(i) 1st level grievance. The contractors, Consultants supervision personnel can immediately resolve issues on-site in consultation with each other and will be required to do so within 3 days of receipt of a complaint/grievance.

(ii) 2nd level grievance. All grievances that cannot be redressed within 3 days at field/ward level will be brought to the notice of respective Project Officers (Environment/Social) of PMU. PMU PO will resolve the grievance within 7 days of receipt of compliance/grievance in discussion with the Consultant and the Contractor.

(iii) 3rd level grievance. All the grievances that are not addressed by PMU within in 7 days of receipt will be brought to the notice of notice of the Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) set up at PMU. GRC will meet once a month and determine the merit of each grievance brought to the committee. The GRC will resolve the grievance within 15 days of receiving the complaint.

(iv) 4th level grievance. Very major issues that are beyond the jurisdictional authority of the GRC or those that have the potential to cause social conflicts or environmental damage or those that remain unresolved at PMU/GRC level, will be referred to the Empowered Committee (EC). All decisions taken by the GRC and EC will be communicated to the APs by the PMU.

75. 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 & rehabilitation, the APs can approach the Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Authority (LARRA). As per the latest Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation, and Resettlement Act, 2013, the state government will have to establish the LARRA to address grievances in implementation of LARRA.

76. In the event that the established GRM is not in a position to resolve the issue, the affected person also can use the ADB Accountability Mechanism through directly contacting (in writing) the Complaint Receiving Officer (CRO) at ADB headquarters or the ADB India Resident Mission (INRM). The complaint can be submitted in any of the official languages of ADB’s DMCs. The ADB Accountability Mechanism information will be included in the PID to be distributed to the affected communities, as part of the project GRM.

The purpose of the environmental management plan (EMP) is to ensure that the activities are undertaken in a responsible, non-detrimental manner with the objectives of: (i) providing a proactive, feasible, and practical working tool to enable the measurement and monitoring of environmental performance on-site; (ii) guiding and controlling the implementation of findings and recommendations of the environmental assessment conducted for the project; (iii) detailing specific actions deemed necessary to assist in mitigating the environmental impact of the project; and (iv) ensuring that safety recommendations are complied with.

78. A copy of the EMP must be kept at work sites at all times. This EMP will be included in the bid documents and will be further reviewed and updated during implementation. The EMP will 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 constitutes a failure in compliance.

79. For civil works, the contractor will be required to (i) establish an operational system for managing environmental impacts (ii) carry out all of the monitoring and mitigation measures set forth in the EMP; and (iii) 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 EMP. The contractor shall allocate budget for compliance with these EMP measures, requirements and actions.

80. The Table 4, Table 5, Table 6 and Table 7 show the potential environmental impacts, proposed mitigation measures and responsible agencies for implementation and monitoring.

Monitoring and Reporting

121. Prior to commencement of the work, the contractor will submit a compliance report to PMU ensuring that all identified pre-construction environmental impact mitigation measures as detailed in the EMP will be undertaken. PMU will review the report and thereafter PMU will allow commencement of works.

122. During construction, results from internal monitoring by the contractor will be reflected in their monthly EMP implementation reports to the PMU/ULB and PO, PMU will review and advise contractors for corrective actions if necessary. Monthly report summarizing compliance and corrective measures taken will be prepared by contractor with support of consultants and submitted to PMU. Format of monthly reporting is attached as Appendix 10.

123. Periodic site inspection will be done by supervision consultants and shall be reported in format attached as Appendix 11 to PMU for compliance of environmental safeguards of contractor.

124. Based on monthly reports and measurements, PMU will draft, review, and submit to ADB, 6-monthly (twice a year) EMP implementation progress report. Once concurrence from the ADB is received the report will be disclosed in the Project website.

125. ADB will review project performance against the RUSDP 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.

EMP Implementation Cost

126. 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. Regardless of this, any costs of mitigation by the construction contractors or consultants are included in the budgets for the civil works and do not need to be estimated separately here. Mitigation that is the responsibility of PMU/ULB will be provided as part of their management of the project, so this also does not need to be duplicated here. Cost for the capacity building program is included as part of the project. Table 10 shows the Monitoring Measures along with estimated cost for implement the EMP.

VIII. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION 127. The process described in this document has assessed the environmental impacts of all elements of the Khandela FSTP 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.

128. During construction, impacts will be mainly health and safety risk to workers, for which mitigation measures are given in EMP and the impacts can be easily mitigated through adopting these measures.

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

130. The EMP will assist the PMU, ULB and contractors in mitigating the environmental impacts, and guide them in the environmentally sound execution of the proposed project. The EMP will also ensure efficient lines of communication between ULB, PMU, consultants and contractor. A copy of the EMP 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.

131. The project will benefit the general public by contributing to the long-term FSSM facility in Khandela. The potential adverse environmental impacts are mainly related to the construction period, which can be minimized by the mitigation measures and environmentally sound engineering and construction practices.

132. Therefore, as per ADB SPS, the project is classified as environmental category ‘B’ and does not require further environmental impact assessment.

To brief about requirement of Fecal Sludge Management (FSM) and Fecal Sludge Treatment Plan (FSTP) in the town, BMFG consultant introduced Fecal Sludge Management and its relevance to the addressing sanitation needs of city. Towns such as Khandela, which have population in the range of 20,000 to 50,000 and do not have any arrangement for FSM. Majority of the towns practice improper disposal, which is extremely harmful. Hence, to manage faecal sludge properly, FSTP of suitable capacity will be constructed for the town. This treatment plant will require a land of ~2 acres.

The ULB officials discussed some key facts about the town:

 Soil stratum of the town is rocky.  Khandela ULB owns one desludging truck of 3000 liters which is defunct at present.  A private operator serves the town. He has desludging truck of 3000 liters.  Operator receives at an average 5 requests in a week.  Charge per desludging is Rs. 1700 /-  Under Swachh bharat mission 900 toilets are to be built.  By October '17 after intervention of SBM in Khandela municipal area 98% of the population will have access to toilets. The ULB officials agreed that FSM will be a suitable solution for the town to manage the faecal sludge. It was also acknowledged that charge for desludging operation along with water supply bills is a practical option. It was informed that ULB currently owns a land parcel of 10 bigha, which is used for solid waste management and agreed to provide a No Objection Certificate (NOC) for desired area of this parcel.

For the finalization of NOC, the Executive officer suggested the following steps:

‐ Proposal will be presented in front of Chairman and Board Members of the town in the next board meeting. ‐ If Board agrees to the proposal, the NOC of the aforementioned land parcel shall be finalized and handed for FSTP construction.

Appendix 13: Operation and Maintenance of Proposed FSTP System

13.1 Operating procedures It is essential to regularly operate and maintain the FSTP treatment system for its smooth function and improved lifespan. It is necessary that all sanitation officials/ engineers of Khandela Municipality have a copy of the O&M activities and familiarize themselves with the standard operating procedures. The operator must be familiar with the operating procedures before he starts to operate and maintain the faecal sludge treatment system. It is a must that the operator undergoes a training program dedicated to O&M of FSTP from the service provider.

Below table shows a summary of O&M Steps to be followed. Detailed O&M7 Activity is given in DPR.

Activities Frequency Details Responsibility Daily monitoring Daily 1. Check for strong odour. The Operator procedures presence of strong odours even after 48h of sludge disposal is a sign of leakages or clogging or an overcharged system. 2. Check for colour and turbidity of the treated water that is discharged. 3. The FSTP site must be maintained clean, free from garbage Manholes Weekly 1. Manholes should be opened Operator (DEWATS from time to time to check if Modules) there are obstructions Yearly preventing the free flow of the water 2. To prevent odours, the air tightness should be assured, by applying silicon or grease on yearly basis or according to the occurrence of odours. Check for Weekly 1.
