Chapter 10 The Feasibility Study on The Development of Dedicated Freight Corridor for Delhi-Mumbai and Ludhiana-Sonnagar in India Final Report (Task 2) (2) Division of DFC Sections for Implementation of ESIMMS The study area covers the extensive area over 37 districts of 5 states where relevant railway facilities will be built for freight corridor development shown in Table 10-1, Table 10-2, and Table 10-3. Therefore, the study area was divided into 3 packages listed below, and the field study of each package has been conducted by a local consultant team. 1) Package 1: Maharashtra and Gujarat (13 districts); 2) Package 2: Rajasthan and Haryana (9 districts); and 3) Package 3: Uttar Pradesh (15 districts) In addition, it has decided that the results of ESIMMS shall be summarised by district, considering that the future necessary action for land acquisition would be managed by a committee in charge of resettlement and rehabilitation issues by district-wise or village-wise as proposed in the National Rehabilitation Policy 2006 of India. 1) District-wise DFC Project alignment and its relevant facilities for a development stage section (See Figure 10-1) to be studied. 2) District-wise outcomes of the ESIMMS to be summarised by the said development stage section. 3) Thirty-seven (37) volumes of the district-wise ESIMMS report including a Resettlement and Rehabilitation Plan Framework will be prepared. (3) Study Area of ESIMMS in Western Corridor 1) Package 1 Study Area The study area of ESIMMS includes the districts where DFC Project alignment passes through. As shown in Table 10-1, the study area of Package 1 includes 13 districts in Gujarat and Maharashtra. In each district, there is a number of publicly representative system, Panchayat Raj System, and each Panchayat represents 3-5 villages. In India, it is considered that the Panchayat heads are influential representatives of residents, and it was planned to involve the Panchayat to organise SHMs and disseminate information amongst residents for effective implementation regarding the DFC Project and likely impact of the project.

The analysis shall be completed. 3) The social impact assessment along the DFC alignment shall be conducted. The Resettlement and Rehabilitation Plan Framework shall be formulated. (2) Natural Environment 1) The secondary data collection and survey of natural reserves, such as national parks and wildlife sanctuaries along the DFC alignment shall be conducted. Reserved forests and protected forests along the DFC alignment shall be examined to assess their impacts. 2) The natural environment study of Balaram Ambaji Wildlife Sanctuary where the DFC alignment passes shall be conducted. (3) Pollution Control 1) Sensitive Receptors (SRs) along the DFC alignment shall be identified for noise and vibration measurement. Ambient and railway noise/vibration levels shall be measured at the following sites: 2 PAF is defined as Project Affected Families to be relocated; however, at the stage of ESIMMS, the number of affected residential structures is considered as PAF. The exact number of the PAF shall be identified by the detailed field survey at the next stage of the project. Chapter 10 10-4 The Feasibility Study on The Development of Dedicated Freight Corridor for Delhi-Mumbai and Ludhiana-Sonnagar in India Final Report (Task 2) Ambient Noise and Vibration at Sensitive Receptors – Maharashtra & Gujarat (Package 1): 20 sites; – Rajasthan & Haryana (Package 2): 15 sites and – Uttar Pradesh (Package 3): 25 sites Railway Noise and Vibration at Sensitive Receptors – Maharashtra & Gujarat (Package 1): 10 sites; – Rajasthan & Haryana (Package 2): 10 sites and – Uttar Pradesh (Package 3): 10 sites In addition to the above, railway noise and vibration measurements were conducted along the DFC alignment to obtain unit sample data at 15 sites in total. 2) The secondary data collection of water quality, air quality was and other components shall be conducted. The mitigation measures shall be proposed based on the analysis of the collected data.
