Government of Nepal Government of Nepal National Reconstruction Authority Central Level Project Implementation Unit District Level Project Implementation Unit (Grant Management and Local Infrastructure) Kathmandu Environment and Social Management Plan of Kumahiti Drinking Water Supply Rehabilitation Project Nagarjun Municipality-07 FY: 075/76 1. Introduction A magnitude 7.6 earthquake of shallow depth struck central Nepal with an epicenter approximately 77km north-west of Kathmandu on April 25th 2015 causing widespread destruction. On May 12, 2015 a large aftershock of a magnitude 6.8 hit Nepal and caused further causalities and damage. As of 3 June 2015, the reported casualties include: 8,702 deaths and 22,493 people injured. As the earthquake sequence destroyed 490,000 houses mostly traditional mud brick and mud stone built and occupied by the rural poor and rendered another 265,000 houses at least temporarily uninhabitable, the largest single need identified in the Post Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA) was housing and human settlements, accounting for US$ 3.27 billion of needs. The Government of Nepal (GON) has requested support from a number of development partners, including the WB, to address the immediate and term of the damage inflicted by the earthquake in Nepal. In response to this, World Bank approved a US$200 million loan to finance the Earthquake Reconstruction Project (EHRP) approved on 18 June 2015 to support 55 thousand households of three severely affected districts namely: Dolakha, Dhading and Nuwakot. The project will support in restoring affected houses with multi hazard resistant core housing units in target areas and to enhance government’s ability to improve long-term disaster resilience. Initially, the EHRP is to be completed by July 2020. Considering the further need to support GoN, International Development Association (the World Bank) has agreed to support additional US$300 million loan to finance the Earthquake Housing Reconstruction Project (EHRP). The recent additional loan support will cover another eleven severely affected districts including Gorkha covering 96000 households from Additional Financing and 3200 households from Multi Donor Fund. Environment and Social Management Framework serves as a practical tool to ensure that environment and social aspects are duly considered in the planning and implementation process of earthquake housing reconstruction project. Accordingly, Revised ESMF, have guided to address the environmental and social issues of the projects by site-specific environmental and social management plan after selection of the sub-projects prioritized by orientation and consultation in the respective local government. Consequently, the issue of the rehabilitation of drinking water supply project at Kumahiti definitely helps to address the social and environmental issues of Nagarjun municipality of Kathmandu district. 2. Objectives of ESMP The objective of the Environmental and Social Management Plan is to address the site- specific environmental and social issues of earthquake housing reconstruction projects. 3. Site Description The sub-project are located in Ward No. 07 of Nagarjun Municipality. The municipality has an area of 29.8 km2. The municipality was formed in December 2014 by amalgamating five former Village Development Committees Bhimdhunga, Ichangu Narayan, Ramkot, Syuchatar and Sitapaila. Previously there were 14 wards in the municipality. After implementation of federalism, the municipality has now been divided into 10 wards as shown in Figure. The municipality is surrounded by K.M.C in the Figure 1: Map of Nagarjun Municipality east, Dhading district in the west, Tarakeshwor municipality in the north and Chandragiri municipality in the south. According to 2011 Nepal census, Nagarjun municipality has a total population of 67420 and total households 16746. The municipality is mainly dominated by Newars, Brahmin, Magar, Sanyasi and chhetris and is mostly Hindu and Buddhist by religion. Total earthquake beneficiary household of Ward No. 07 of the Nagarjun municipality is 764 with total population 3146; of which 191 are female headed households. Of total 764 housing reconstruction beneficiary households, 650, 260 and 231 have already received 1st Tranche, 2nd Tranche and 3rd Tranche respectively as of 2019/05/06 EHRP-MIS data. 4. Environmental and Social Issues The site verification of the selected sub-project of Nagarjun Municipality was carried out on 24- 25/09/2075 along with Municipality sub-engineer and Environment and Social development specialist. From the site verification at Kumahiti, the site is the community of people with poor economic status. The site also lacks the proper drinking water supply system. Currently, 50 households are totally dependent on the existing water supply system. The water is collected from a source downhill which is uplifted to the community located at distance of around 700m. The 2072 earthquake has caused leakage in the intake and collection tank. Therefore, the water is not collected in the tank as expected; also open source make the water quality dubious. The pitiable condition of water supply system has slowed down housing reconstruction of the beneficiaries and shortage in the supply of daily household chores. 5. Environment and Social Management Plan (ESMP) To address the issue rose during orientation and consultation program held on 2075/09/24 at Nagarjun Municipality, the municipality has selected Drinking water supply rehabilitation project at Kumahiti as potential sub-project. The plan includes repair and maintenance of intake and pipelines. The water supply schemes would advantage total 50 households of Kumahiti.
