I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1. Government of Madhya Pradesh with loan funding from Asian Development Bank (ADB) has proposed to implement Madhya Pradesh Urban Services Improvement Project (MPUSIP), herein after referred as ‗the Project‘. Madhya Pradesh Urban Development Company Limited (MPUDC) shall be the Implementing Agency and the State Urban Development and Housing Department (UDHD) shall be the executing agency for the Project.

2. The Project components are as follows:

(i) Component 1: Improvements to water supply and sewerage services in identified towns  Continuous, pressurized, safe and sustainable drinking water through private household metered connections to 350,000 households with about 1.7million population resident in sixty-four towns in the State of Madhya Pradesh in Central India; and  Sewage and storm water collection and treatment services proposed initially in two (2) identified towns (Khajuraho and Rajnagar) servicing about 42,000 population resident in 8000 households;

(ii) Component 2: Institutional Strengthening  Capacity Building of implementing agencies (IAs), participating Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) and service utilities in contract management and service delivery for ensuring long term sustainability of services;  Setting up of geographic information system (GIS) based water and sanitation asset management and service delivery monitoring; and  Structured behavioral change campaigns to ensure the improvement in public health and cost recovery of service delivery.

(iii) Component 3: Project Management and Administration Support. This component will support the smooth and effective implementation and operation of the Project which includes expert support in Project design and implementation (design, procurement and Contract and Project Management, safeguards etc.), and project administration through Executing and Implementing Agencies.

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

4. The Subproject. Katangi, Bhedaghat, Majholi, Panagar, Patan, and Sihora are located in the Jabalpur District and Tendukheda is located in the Damoh District in the central part of Madhya Pradesh state. These are small towns having the status of Municipal Council (Nagar Parishad) and population as per 2011 census was: Katangi- 19040, Bhedaghat-6657, Majholi- 13210, Panagar-27932, Patan-14624, Sihora- 44048 and Tendukheda- 14399. Improvement of water supply in these seven towns will be implemented under a single Design-Build- Operate (DBO) contract package. The objective of the subproject is to achieve safe and sustainable water services both in terms of services to customers, cost recovery, providing 100% coverage with continuous, pressurized and safe drinking water services and achieving progressively increasing cost recovery by expanding the coverage and increasing operating efficiency. The subproject includes the following civil works.

5. Katangi, Patan, Majholi, Sihora, Bhedaghat, Panagar and Tendukheda town is having acute water problem. Reliable source for Panagar and Bhedaghat town is River Narmada near

M/s LN Malviya Infra Project Pvt. Ltd. Page 7

IEE Package 5B

Jabalpur. Reliable source for Patan town is River Narmada. Both towns are approximately 25 km from Jabalpur. Sihora is approximately 25 km from Panagar, Majholi is approximately 20 km from Sihora, Katangi is 20 km from Majholi and Tendukheda is nearly 20 km from Patan. A common scheme for all these towns is framed from the river Narmada. Due to common scheme framed; storage structure cost & intake structure is avoided.

6. There are mainly two surface sources Hiren and Narmada River near the cities. Hiren river is small stream and has not sufficient flow. Waste water of Jabalpur through Pariat nala is also discharging into it ; making Hiren River further polluted. Looking to the contour profile of the river Hiren the storage by constructing weir will not be able to fulfill the water demand of the towns included in the Group; the storage structure cost will be very high if the independent weirs are constructed for each towns. Narmada River is perennial and dependable water source and has sufficient flow to cater the total water demand of 23.32 MLD for intermediate year 2033 and 27.93 MLD of ultimate year 2048 for population of Bhedaghat, Katangi, Patan, Majholi, Panagar, Sihora and Tendukheda Nagar Parishad. A common intake well of 10 m dia. and 14m height is proposed in the bank of Narmada River at Bhedaghat to draw the total water demand 27.93 MLD for all these cities with suitable pumping arrangement. There is no Water Treatment plant in any one of the city.

7. A common WTP for all these cities having capacity of 31.00 MLD considering 22 Hrs. of pumping has been proposed for the ultimate year of 2048 at Bhedaghat. Raw water will be pumped from the Narmada River and supplied to proposed common water treatment plant by 600 mm dia. 330 m long of DI K9 pumping main, where raw water will be treated. After treatment from WTP clear water will be stored in 11nos. existing of total capacity 2,773 KL and 12 nos. proposed OHT of total capacity 5,855 KL by pumping main of 153,166 m long 100 mm- 600 mm dia. DI K9 for Katangi, Patan, Majholi, Sihora, Bhedaghat, and Panagar Nagar Parishad. Condition of existing OHTs is structurally good and is taken into account in proposed water supply scheme. Presently distribution line is not 100 % covered Distribution line is buried under existing road and it is undersized, low pressure and also have leakages problem. Therefore it is need to propose new distribution line in these cities. There are no SCADA systems. SCADA system is proposed to monitor and control entire sites or complexes of systems spread out over large areas. This will be of immense help in maintaining the operations of motor, pumps; valves and specials and maintaining the levels of service reservoirs and hence the distribution system. There is also provision of District Metered Area (DMA) in order to monitor the level of leakage etc.

8. Screening and assessment of potential impacts. ADB requires the consideration of environmental issues in all aspects of the Bank‘s operations, and the requirements for environmental assessment are described in ADB‘s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS), 2009. As per the GoI EIA Notification, 2006, these subprojects do not require EIA study or environmental clearance. The potential environmental impacts of the subproject have been assessed using ADB Rapid Environmental Assessment Checklist for Water Supply. Then potential negative impacts were identified in relation to pre-construction, construction and operation of the improved infrastructure.

9. Categorization. Based on results of the assessment and ADB SPS, the subproject is classified as environmental Category B, i.e., the subproject is judged to be unlikely to have significant adverse environmental impacts. An initial environmental examination (IEE) is required to determine whether significant environmental impacts warranting an environmental impact assessment are likely. 10. Aim of this IEE is to (i) provide critical facts, significant findings, and recommended actions; (ii) present the national and local legal and institutional framework within which the environmental assessment has been carried out; (iii) provide information on existing geographic, ecological, social and temporal context including associated facilities within the subproject‘s area of influence; (iv) assess the subproject‘s likely positive and negative direct

IEE Package 5B and indirect impacts to physical, biological, socioeconomic and physical cultural resources in the subproject‘s area of influence; (v) identify mitigation measures and any residual negative impacts that cannot be mitigated; (vi) describe the process undertaken during project design to engage stakeholders and the planned information disclosure measures and the process for carrying out consultation with affected people and facilitating their participation during project implementation; (vii) describe the subproject‘s grievance redress mechanism for resolving complaints about environmental performance; (viii) present the set of mitigation measures to be undertaken to avoid, reduce, mitigate, or compensate for adverse environmental impacts; (ix) to describe the monitoring measures and reporting procedures to ensure early detection of conditions that necessitate particular mitigation measures; and (x) identify indicative costs and who is responsible for carrying out the mitigation and monitoring measures.

11. Description of the Environment. Project area mostly comprises urban areas, agricultural areas of Bhedaghat, Katangi, Majholi, Panagar, Patan, Sihora and Tendukheda. Extent of forest areas in the project area is very limited, and none of the project components are located in the forest areas, except CWRM from Patan to Tendukheda towns. In Bhedaghat, Open forest areas are located near the source, but none of the proposed project components comes under forest area. These are open forests with shrubs and bushes, and trees. Flora in that area consist of mixed forest, bamboo, teak, sal etc. Katangi- Tala reserve forest located in the North-east direction of Katangi town approx. 2 km from the town, none of the project components comes under these. Majholi- There is an Open mixed forest in the South-west direction of Majholi town, Flora in that area consists of mixed forest, mainly sal etc., none of the project components comes under these. Panagar- Bohra Reserve forest and Open mixed forests are located approx. 5 km from the Panagar town, in the Southern- eastern skirts, but none of the proposed project components comes under these forests. Sihora- An area east of Sihora around villages Maragarh, Kurro etc. is occupied by the Maragarh reserved Forest. Bohra Reserve forest and Open mixed forests are located approx. 12 km from the Sihora town, in the Southern direction from the town, but none of the proposed project components comes under these forests. Patan and Tendukheda- Mahguwan and Sahajpur Reserve forest area comes between Patan and Tendukheda Towns. The Clear water Rising main from Patan to Tendukheda will be laid along a road, that comes under Forest areas. The pipeline will be laid in the road right of way, and will not encroach into the forest habitat.

12. For the proposed Group WSS water will be sourced from Narmada River, which is a largest river of MP. The requirement of towns is miniscule in comparison with the river flow. WRD permission for abstraction from the river is in process. PMU has already discussed with the WRD, and the permission is likely to be issued soon. Bhedaghat and Panagar towns comes under ASI protected monuments; Although none of the components are located within the protected monuments, WTP (in Bhedaghat town) and distribution lines works (for both the towns) will located within the 300 m around the monuments . Given the minimal excavation (0.4 m wide and 0.7 m deep), there will be no risk to any structure. Nevertheless, the works will be implemented only after due permission of ASI and also the construction methodology will be discussed with the ASI. For chance finds, works will be observed by a person with archeological background.

13. Potential environmental impacts. The subproject area will not arise any significant adverse impacts due to: (i) small size population and their water demand, (ii) components proposed in the schemes are of comparatively is of small quantities & their effect will be locally which is manageable and controllable and (iii) predicted impacts are site-specific and likely to be associated with the construction process and are produced because the process is invasive, involving excavation and earth movements.

M/s LN Malviya Infra Project Pvt. Ltd. Page 9

IEE Package 5B

14. Environmental impacts arises due to the project design or because of the locations chosen for the project components are not significant. The proposed water supply schemes include design of new water source which is the nearest surface water body. It is assessed to be unlikely to have any significant issue of source sustainability. Water quality is good and there are no potential pollution sources in the vicinity that could affect the water quality. Although none of the components are located within the forest except CWRM from Patan to Tendukheda towns, conduct of construction works and presence of workers, vehicles may damage/disturb the sensitive areas. Necessary precautionary measures are suggested to avoid any impacts.

15. By the time of execution phase, potential negative impacts may arise from disturbance of residents, businesses, increase in traffic, increase in noise level and dusts and the need to dispose moderate quantities of waste soil during construction phase and generation of sludge from the WTP during operation and maintenance phase. However, there are well-developed methods for mitigation, minimization to acceptable levels are proposed here.

16. Environmental Management Plan As a part of mitigate measures in order to achieve acceptable levels in the negative impacts, an environmental management plan (EMP) has been proposed. All the locations are selected considering the minimum adverse environmental affects. These include (i) locating facilities on government-owned land to avoid the need for land acquisition and relocation of people; and (ii) laying of pipes in RoW alongside main/access roads, to reduce acquisition of land and impacts on livelihoods specifically in densely populated areas of the towns.

17. The EMP given here includes the design measures for (i) safe disposal of sludge coming out of wash water tanks from WTP to reduce effluent (ii) energy efficient pumping equipment and (iii) quick leak detection and rectification to save the resources, etc. During execution phase, the EMP includes mitigation measures such as (i) implementation of traffic management plan in coordination with local traffic police to minimize traffic impacts (ii) awareness campaigns and consultations to inform residents and businesses of potential disturbances; (iii) provision of walkways and planks over trenches to ensure access will not be impeded; (iv) use of noise-dampening measures in areas with sensitive receptors such as hospitals, schools, places of worships and other silence-zones; (v) use of dust-suppression methods such as watering and/or covering of stockpiles; and (vi) finding beneficial use of excavated materials to extent possible to reduce the quantity that will be disposed off. As for the O&M phase, facilities will need to be repaired from time to time, but environmental impacts will be much less than those of the construction period as the work will be infrequent, affecting small areas only. The design of the WTP includes dewatering and drying areas as part of sludge management. The EMP includes mitigation measures and monitoring plan to ensure compliance to environmental standards during O&M phase.

18. The EMP will guide the environmentally-sound construction of the subproject and ensure efficient lines of communication between Madhya Pradesh Urban Development Company (MPUDC), project management unit (PMU), project implementing unit (PIU), consultants and contractors. The EMP will (i) ensure that the activities are undertaken in a responsible non-detrimental manner; (i) provide a pro-active, feasible and practical working tool to enable the measurement and monitoring of environmental performance on site; (ii) guide and control the implementation of findings and recommendations of the environmental assessment conducted for the subproject; (iii) detail specific actions deemed necessary to assist in mitigating the environmental impact of the subproject; and (iv) ensure that safety recommendations are complied with. The EMP includes a monitoring program to measure the environmental condition and effectiveness of implementation of the mitigation measures.It will include observations on- and off-site, document checks, and interviews with workers and beneficiaries.

M/s LN Malviya Infra Project Pvt. Ltd. Page 10

IEE Package 5B

19. The contractor will be required to submit to PMU, for review and approval, a site environmental plan (SEP) including (i) proposed sites/locations for construction work camps, storage areas, hauling roads, lay down areas, disposal areas for solid and hazardous wastes; (ii) specific mitigation measures following the approved EMP; (iii) monitoring program as per SEP; and (iv) budget for SEP implementation. No works are allowed to commence prior to approval of SEP. A copy of the EMP/approved SEP will be kept on site during the construction period at all times. The EMP included in the bid and contract documents. Non-compliance with, or any deviation from, the conditions set out in this document constitutes a failure in compliance. 20. Consultation, disclosure and grievance redress mechanism. The stakeholders were involved in developing the IEE through discussions on-site and public consultation at several places in the towns, after which views expressed were incorporated into the IEE and in the planning and development of the project. The IEE will be made available at public locations and will be disclosed to a wider audience via the ADB, MPUDC and PMU websites. The consultation process will be continued and expanded during project implementation to ensure that stakeholders are fully engaged in the project and have the opportunity to participate in its development and implementation. A grievance redress mechanism is described within the IEE to ensure any public grievances are addressed quickly. 21. Implementation Arrangements. Urban Development and Housing Department (UDHD) of Government of Madhya Pradesh is the Executing Agency and Madhya Pradesh Urban Development Company (MPUDC) is the Implementing Agency. Project Management Unit (PMU) attached to MPUDC is responsible for implementation, and will be supported by Program Implementation Units (PIUs). Several teams of Design Consultants, and a Program Management Consultant (PMC),will support PMU & PIUs. Infrastructure will be designed, built, and operated by DBO contractor for 10 years, after which it will be transferred to ULBs. Project Officer (Environment) at PMU and Assistant Safeguard Officer (ASO) at each of the PIU will be responsible for environment safeguards tasks, and will be supported by PMC. Contractor personnel will include an Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) supervisor. 22. Monitoring and Reporting. The PMU and PMC will be responsible for monitoring. The PMC will submit quarterly and semi-annual monitoring reports to PMU, and the PMU will review and send the semi-annual monitoring reports to ADB. ADB will post the environmental monitoring reports on its website.Conclusions and Recommendations. The subproject is therefore unlikely to cause significant adverse impacts. The potential impacts that are associated with design, construction and operation can be mitigated to standard levels without difficulty through proper engineering design and the incorporation or application of recommended mitigation measures and procedures. Based on the findings of the IEE, there are no significant impacts and the classification of the project as Category ―B‖ is confirmed. No further special study or detailed environmental impact assessment (EIA) needs to be undertaken to comply with ADB SPS (2009) or GoI EIA Notification (2006). Project will require permission of Water Resources Department (WRD) for water abstraction from Narmada River, intake construction, Forest Department for laying CWRM from Patan to Tendukheda, ASI permission for Bhedaghat and Panagar towns and consent of Madhya Pradesh Pollution Control Board (MPPCB) for WTP. These permissions/approvals shall be obtained prior to award of contracts. 23. This IEE will be updated during the detailed design stage by the DBO contractor to reflect any changes, amendments and will be reviewed and approved by PMU.

B. Purpose of this IEE Report

24. ADB requires the consideration of environmental issues in all aspects of the Bank‘s operations, and the requirements for environmental assessment are described in ADB‘s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS), 2009. The potential environmental impacts of the subproject have been assessed using ADB Rapid Environmental Assessment Checklist for Water Supply (Appendix 1). Then potential negative impacts were identified in relation to pre- construction, construction and operation of the improved infrastructure, and results of the assessment show that the subproject is unlikely to cause significant adverse impacts. Thus, this initial environmental examination (IEE) has been prepared in accordance with ADB SPS‘s requirements for environment category B projects

25. To understand the environment-related aspects of the project, a detailed Environmental Analysis and Assessment study is required. The study will involve collection and analysis of information regarding the environmental issues related to the project and preparation of an Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) and Environmental Management Plan (EMP), to be duly integrated in the overall design of the project. The IEE study is expected to focus on the positive health and environmental benefits, through supply of safe drinking water and creation of integrated sanitary conditions in the project area/region. The proposed assessment study will suggest several environmental mitigation measures to be included in the project design, due to which the project is expected to have a net positive benefit for the people in the project area.

B. Existing Water Supply Situation 1. Katangi 28. Water supply is one of the most critical and important basic urban services. As water is a scarce commodity and the study area has limited water aquifer within its boundary, therefore water supply is a crucial urban service that needs special attention. In Katangi the ground water recharge is very limited and therefore very less ground water is available in the town area. Ground water supplied from tube-well is the main source of water supply in town.

29. Katangi is predominantly dependent on ground water source for water supply. Tube wells are the major source of water supply in this Town. At present there are 10 Tube wells in the town. Direct pumping is in practice for storage and distribution of water supply. Water is supplied through tankers to the areas where water supply is scarce and areas not covered with distribution network. Currently the water supply in Katangi is approximately 0.60 MLD. The details are shown in the following table.The available data only indicates the total water storage capacities at town level. However, it does not provide details on the quantity of water supplied at ward level. Thus, the analysis to understand the services at ward level is difficult. Presently there are three ELSR's available for water storage. The capacities of ELSR's are 0.15 ML and 0.2 ML and 0.25 ML.

30. The existing water distribution system in the town is very old and is connected at various places with new pipelines. A pipes with diameters ranging from 50 mm to 200 mm (50 mm, 80mm, 100 mm, 150 mm, 200 mm) form majority of the water supply network. About 16 km of length of pipeline is laid for distribution system and it accounts to 65 per cent of the existing road length. The details of the water supply distribution system given in the following table no.1 Table 1: Details of Rising main and Distribution network Pipe Distribution main details Percentage of Material coverage network GI, CI 50 mm to 200 mm (50 mm, 100 mm, 150 mm, 200 mm) 65% Source: Nagar Parishad Katangi

2. Patan 31. Patan is predominantly dependent on ground water source for water supply. Presently, water is drawn from a depth of 150 – 200 meter. Direct pumping is in practice for storage and

IEE Package 5B distribution of water supply. As per the assessment made by the officials at Nagar Parishad of Patan, there are 19 tube wells present in the town. Out of these, 2 tube wells are directly connected to ELSR's and remaining 17 are connected to distribution network. Water is supplied through tankers to the areas where water supply is scarce and areas not covered with distribution network. Currently the water supply in Patan is approximately 0.88 MLD. The Quality of the water being supplied is as per drinking water standards. Currently the Nagar Parishad is supplying water for duration of 1hour; on the average the Nagar Parishad is able to maintain a Per Capita Supply of 48LPCD as against the requirement of 70 LPCD.

32. The existing water distribution system in the town is very old and is connected at various places with new pipelines. About 10.5 km of length of pipeline is laid for distribution system and it accounts to 47 per cent of the existing road length. The details of the water supply distribution system given in Table 2.

Tube wells are the major source of water supply in this town. There is also surface water source which is Suhar river, but this is not major source. At present there are 11 Tube wells present in the town. Direct pumping is in practice for storage and distribution of water supply. Water is supplied through tankers to the areas where water supply is scarce and areas not covered with distribution network. Currently the water supply in Majholi is approximately 0.70 MLD. The available data only indicates to total water storage capacities at town level. However, it does not provide details on the quantity of water supplied at ward level. Thus, the analysis to understand the services at ward level is difficult. Presently there are three ELSR's available for water storage of total capacity 0.625 ML. Two ESR of 3.2 lac liter & 1.8 lac liter are not in use primarily because there is no water available and also PHE department has not handed over yet officially. One of them is also leaking but it can be repaired.

4. Sihora 35. The current water supply to the Nagar Parishad is from the Hiran River, from an intake well cum raw water pump house situated at a distance of 180 m towards downstream of Sihora Majhgawa road Way Bridge. The diameter of intake well is 6 m and height 18.0 m above bed level. The raw water is conveyed to the water treatment plant of 4 MLD capacity located about 500m away from right bank of Hiran River. The town is being supplied with around 2.0 MLD of water every day, which is currently insufficient to address the overall requirement of the town. The Quality of the water being supplied is as per drinking water standards. Currently the Nagar Parishad is supplying water for duration of 1 hour in the

M/s LN Malviya Infra Project Pvt. Ltd. Page 17

36. The treated water is being delivered by three Service Reservoir of 200 KL, 400 KL and 200 KL capacities which are located at ward no.14, ward no.18 and ward no.04 respectively. These reservoirs were designed for minimum residual pressure of 7.0 m. The ward 11 (625 KL) reservoir is badly damaged in earthquake 1997. With the existing system on the average the Nagar Parishad is able to maintain a Per Capita Supply of 36LPCD as against the requirement of 135 LPCD. Around 157 no. of hand pumps are functioning in the Nagar Parishad from which additional water is being tapped daily for other than drinking purpose.

5. Bhedaghat 37. Bhedaghat is dependent on both ground & surface source for water supply. The water is supplied through pipes at spot source from the tube wells. Around 0.07 MLD water is extracted from ground water. Presently, the town is drawing 30% of supplied water every day from the ground source. Direct pumping is in practice for storage and distribution of water supply. Water is supplied through tankers to the areas where water supply is scarce and areas not covered with distribution network. There are 4 tube wells, 36 hand pumps and 28 stand posts in the town.As River Narmada passing from the town, water is pumped from river at various points (Gopalpur, paramhans ghat and banerji ghat) by inserting motor. Town receives around 0.13 MLD water from surface source. At present total water supplied to the town is 0.20 MLD from both ground and surface sources at the rate of 44 LPCD.

38. The existing water distribution system in the town is very old and is connected at various places with new pipelines. GI pipes with diameters ranging from 1.5 inch to 3.0 inch form majority of the water supply network. Around 12 km of length of pipeline is laid for distribution system and it accounts to 40 per cent of the existing road length.

6. PANAGAR 39. Panagar is dependent on ground source for water supply. Most of the residents of the town obtain their water from an improved point source, such as a well or tube well. Around 1.2 MLD water is extracted from ground water. In available ground sources, town has 25 tube wells from which 23 are functioning. Apart from these, town has 118 hand pumps and 310 stand posts which are used for both drinking and non drinking purposes. The average water supply in Panagar after all transmission and distribution losses(10% ) is around 1.2 MLD at the rate of 39 LPCD. No proper scientific water treatment is being done at present. only primary informal treatment is being done at the source level (i.e. at the tube well points) the water being supplied in the distribution nearly of the same quality.

40. At present 1.20 MLD of water is being supplied in the Nagar Palika from 23 Nos. of tube wells functioning in the Nagar Palika. The water drawn from the tube wells is directly pumped to the existing tank or directly distributed to the Nagar Palika after initial disinfection. Around 112 nos. of hand pumps are functioning in the Nagar Palika from which additional water is being tapped daily for other than drinking purpose. Daily the ULB is supplying water

M/s LN Malviya Infra Project Pvt. Ltd. Page 18

IEE Package 5B for duration of 2 Hours; on the average the Nagar Palika is able to maintain a Per Capita Supply of 39 LPCD as against the requirement of 70 LPCD.

41. The existing water supply network coverage is around 68% with a network consisting of various diameter sizing pipes ranging from 150 mm dia. to 50 mm dia. GI & CI Pipes and the distribution system are also comprising of 80 mm dia. AC pipes and 50mm dia. G.I pipes

7. TENDUKHEDA 42. Sources of water supply. The main source of water supply in Tendukheda town is ground water. There are 12 tube wells in the whole town which are serving as a source of supply ground water. Total production of these deep tube wells is 0.72 MLD / day. Water is supplied for 45 minutes to 1 hour daily. Direct pumping is in practice for storage and distribution of water supply. Water is supplied through tankers to the areas where water supply is scarce and areas not covered with distribution network. The available data only indicates the total water storage capacities at town level. However, it does not provide details on the quantity of water supplied at ward level. Thus, the analysis to understand the services at ward level is difficult. Presently there is one ELSR available for water storage. The storage capacity of ELSR is 90 KL.

43. Water is partly distributed through gravity from distribution reservoir. The reason behind such distribution pattern is shortage of overhead reservoirs and inequitable pressure head, due to the undulating terrain. The total number of household service connections is 2007. There are no metered connections in the town. Apart from this, 86 hand pumps (30 nos. only working) and 150 Public Stand Posts are catering to water supply.

C. Proposed Project 44. As the water table is depleting all over, therefore, now it is not a reliable source for a permanent scheme in all the four towns. As part of this project, it is proposed to develop comprehensive water supply schemes in each of the four project towns. Proposals include new reliable water sources, water treatment plants, over head tanks, energy efficient pumping machinery, raw & clear water transmission mains and distribution network covering the whole town. Project will also provide consumer connections with flow meters. Bulk flow meters are proposed at strategic locations to monitor the system performance efficiency.

45. Sihora, Katangi, Panagar, Patan, Majholi, Bhedaghat and Tendukheda (Damoh) town is having acute water problem. Sustainable source are not available near to these towns. Reliable source for Panagar, Bhedaghat town is River Narmada near Jabalpur. Reliable source for Patan town is River Narmada. Both towns are approximately 25 km from Jabalpur. Sihora is approximately 25 km from Panagar ,Majholi is approximately 20 km from Sihora, Katangi is 20 km from Majholi and Tedukheda is nearly 20 km from Patan.

46. A common scheme for all these towns including Tendukheda can be framed from the river Narmada. If combined scheme is framed; then storage structure cost & intake structure cost can be avoided. The feasibility & viability is worked out after survey & investigation.

Hence from the above facts it is justified that Narmada River is as final and common source for Katangi, Patan, Majholi, Sihora, Panagar, Bhedaghat and Tendukheda Nagar Parishad.

47. Intake: The common intake well is proposed for Katangi, Patan, Majholi, Sihora, Panagar, Bhedaghat and Tendukheda Nagar Parishad at Bhedaghat. At Bhedaghat in the bank of Narmada River, there is proposed R.C.C. intake well of 10 m diameter and 14 m height to collect and lift water up to treatment works. H.F.L. and River bed level is 368.00m

M/s LN Malviya Infra Project Pvt. Ltd. Page 19

IEE Package 5B and 355.97 m respectively. River bed is at 355.97 m keeping the invert level of intake well 1.0 m below the bed level of the river at 353.97 m. The pump floor (370.00 m) is kept as 2.0 m above the H.F.L. (368.00 m). The suction point (354.97) is kept as 1.0 m below from the River Bed Level and difference of pump floor level and river bed level is 14.03 m. The height of intake well works out to 14.03 m say 14.00 m and diameter of intake well has been decided 10 m on the basis of space required for housing three numbers each of 59 KW pumps. Detailed survey was conducted for selection of site. The selected site is nearest, and will have required quantity of water.

IV. POLICY, LEGAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE FRAMEWORK

A. ADB Policy

49. ADB requires the consideration of environmental issues in all aspects of ADB‘s operations, and the requirements for environmental assessment are described in ADB SPS, 2009. This states that ADB requires environmental assessment of all ADB investments.

50. Screening and categorization. The nature of the environmental assessment required for a project depends on the significance of its environmental impacts, which are related to the type and location of the project; the sensitivity, scale, nature, and magnitude of its potential impacts; and the availability of cost-effective mitigation measures. Projects are screened for their expected environmental impacts, and are assigned to one of the following four categories:

(i) Category A. Projects could have significant adverse environmental impacts. An EIA is required to address significant impacts. (ii) Category B. Projects could have some adverse environmental impacts, but of lesser degree or significance than those in category A. An IEE is required to determine whether significant environmental impacts warranting an EIA are likely. If an EIA is not needed, the IEE is regarded as the final environmental assessment report. (iii) Category C. Projects are unlikely to have adverse environmental impacts. No EIA or IEE is required, although environmental implications are reviewed. (iv) Category FI. Projects involve a credit line through a financial intermediary or an equity investment in a financial intermediary. The financial intermediary must apply an environmental management system, unless all projects will result in insignificant impacts.

51. Environmental management plan. An EMP, which addresses the potential impacts and risks identified by the environmental assessment, shall be prepared. The level of detail and complexity of the EMP and the priority of the identified measures and actions will be commensurate with the project‘s impact and risks.

52. Public disclosure. ADB will post the safeguard documents on its website as well as disclose relevant information in accessible manner in local communities:

(i) for environmental category A projects, draft EIA report at least 120 days before Board consideration; (ii) final or updated EIA and/or IEE upon receipt; and (iii) Environmental monitoring reports submitted by the implementing agency during project implementation upon receipt.

B. National Environmental Laws

53. Environmental Assessment. The GoI EIA Notification of 2006 (replacing the EIA Notification of 1994), sets out the requirement for Environmental Assessment in India. This states that Environmental Clearance (EC) is required for specified activities/projects, and EC must be obtained before any construction work or land preparation (except land acquisition) may commence. Projects are categorized as A or B1 or B2 depending on the scale of the project and the nature of its impacts. None of the components of this water supply subproject falls under the ambit of the EIA Notification 2006, and, therefore no category assigned, and thus no EIA study and EC required for the subproject.

M/s LN Malviya Infra Project Pvt. Ltd. Page 9

IEE Package 5B

54. Applicable environmental regulations. Besides EIA Notification 2006, there are various other acts, rules, policies and regulations currently in force in India that deal with environmental issues that could apply to infrastructure development. The specific regulatory compliance requirements of the subproject are shown in Table 6.

Table 6: Applicable Environmental Regulations Law Description Requirement Madhya Pradesh Prepared in accordance with the National Permission of WRD, State Water Water Policy, it states that ―for environmental GoMP: Policy, 2003 balance, skillful and planned management of  Construction of all types of developmental activities, Intake well on economic use on equitable basis and in view Narmada river of the prime importance of water for all (Bhedaghat Town) human and other living beings, an effective and sound water policy is necessary‖.

Water levels of these monitoring wells are being monitored four times in a year during the month of January, May, August & November. To study ground water regime of the area, pre monsoon & post monsoon depth to water level maps of the district has been prepared. Eastern past of the district is highly undulating & forested. Pre-monsoon (May, 2012) : In general depth to water level in the district, ranges between 0.37m-14.20mbgl Post-monsoon (November, 2012) : In general depth to water level in the district, ranges between 2.30m-16.80mbgl Long Term Water level trend in last 10 years (2003-2013) – Fall -0.02-0.2 m/year and Rise of 0.01-0.14 m/year during Pre-monsoon. Jabalpur district is underlain by Alluvium, Archaean granite, Basaltic lava flows of Deccan trap Bijawar and Vindhyan sandstone. Dynamic ground water resources of the district have been estimated for base year -2008/09 on block-wise basis. Out of 5,26,693 ha of geographical area, 4,43,866 ha ( 84 %) is ground water recharge worthy area and 82,827 ha (16%) is hilly area. There are seven number of assessment units

The highest stage of ground water development is computed as 64% in Shahpur block. The net ground water availability in the district is 55,679 ham and ground water draft for all uses is 28,184 ham, making stage of ground water development 51 % (42 % in 2003/04) as a whole for district. The EC value ranges from 505-1603,NO3 value ranges from 8-81,Fluoride value ranges from 0.02-2.35. The total hardness of the groundwater in the district is under safe limit as per BIS standards. Air quality There is no data on ambient air quality in all the seven towns, which are not subject to monitoring by the Madhya Pradesh Pollution Control Board (MPPCB) as there are no major industries. No field monitoring (environmental) survey was conducted however, the environmental monitoring program developed as part of the environmental management plan (EMP) will require the contractors to establish the baseline environmental conditions prior to commencement of civil works. The results will be reported as part of the environmental monitoring report and will be the basis to ensure no degradation will happen during subproject implementation. Ecological Project area mostly comprises urban areas, agricultural areas of Bhedaghat, Katangi, Majholi, Panagar, Patan, Sihora and Tendukheda. Extent of forest areas in the project area is very limited, and none of the project components are located in the forest areas , except CWRM from Patan to Tendukheda towns. In Bhedaghat, Open forest areas are located near the source, but none of the proposed project components comes under forest area. These are open forests with shrubs and bushes, and trees. Flora in that area consist of mixed forest, bamboo, teak, sal etc. Katangi- Tala reserve forest located in the North-east direction of Katangi town approx. 2 km from the town, none of the project components comes under these. Majholi- There is an Open mixed forest in the South-west direction of Majholi town, Flora in that area consists of mixed forest, mainly sal etc., none of the project components comes under these.

VI. ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

60. Potential environmental impacts of the proposed infrastructure components are presented in this section. Measures to minimize/mitigate negative impacts, if any, are recommended along with the agency responsible for implementation. Monitoring actions to be conducted during the implementation phase is also recommended.

61. Screening of potential environmental impacts are categorized into four categories considering subproject phases: location impacts and design impacts (pre-construction phase), construction phase impacts and operations and maintenance phase impacts.

a. Location impacts include impacts associated with site selection and include loss of on-site biophysical array and encroachment either directly or indirectly on adjacent environments. It also includes impacts on people who will lose their livelihood or any other structures by the development of that site. b. Design impacts include impacts arising from Investment Program design, including technology used, scale of operation/throughput, waste production, discharge specifications, pollution sources and ancillary services. c. Construction impacts include impacts caused by site clearing, earthworks, machinery, vehicles and workers. Construction site impacts include erosion, dust, noise, traffic congestion and waste production. d. O&M impacts include impacts arising from the operation and maintenance activities of the infrastructure facility. These include routine management of operational waste streams, and occupational health and safety issues.

62. 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).

63. This section of the IEE reviews possible project-related impacts, in order to identify issues requiring further attention and screen out issues of no relevance. ADB SPS (2009) require that impacts and risks will be analyzed during pre-construction, construction, and operational stages in the context of the project‘s area of influence.

64. The ADB Rapid Environmental Assessment Checklist in http://www.adb.org/documents/guidelines/environmental_assessment/eaguidelines002 .aspis used to screen project for environmental impacts and to determine the scope of the IEE.

65. In the case of this project (i) most of the individual elements are relatively small and involve straightforward construction and operation, so impacts will be mainly localized and not greatly significant;(ii) proposed water abstraction from the sources is very small compared to overall water availability; (iii) most of the predicted impacts are associated with the construction process, and are produced because that process is invasive, involving excavation and earth movements; and some works are located in the reservoir and (iv) being mostly located in an urban area, will not cause direct impact on biodiversity values. The proposed project components locations are belongs to the government property and existing roads, hence land acquisition and encroachment on private property will not happen in this case.

A. Pre-Construction Impacts – Design & Location

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

(i) Recovering backwash water from treatment process. (ii) Treatment and disposal management of sludge from treatment process. (iii) Minimizing water losses from pipelines by perfect jointing and alignments using appropriate techniques (iv) Designing the entire system to maintain optimal flow and terminal pressure, and optimising the overall energy usage (v) Reducing the incidence of water borne diseases by providing 100% population including urban poor with potable water supplies (vi) Improve water use efficiency and reduce water wastage at household level by recording and monitoring the water usage, and charging the consumers as per usage; due consideration to urban poor (vii) Minimize unaccounted for water (UFW) losses using district metered area approach with flow meter and pressure logging arrangements to identify and rectify the leaks, and unauthorized connections (viii) Using low-noise and energy efficient pumping systems

67. Water Source & Sustainability. As the subproject towns are located near to each other (approx. 50-60 km maximum) there was possibility of a combined source/ bulk water scheme. Therefore, combined water supply schemes are proposed for 7 towns based on the most feasible water source (Narmada River) considering techno- economic and environmental considerations as elucidated below.

Salient Feature of River Narmada 68. Location: The Narmada is the largest west flowing and seventh largest river of India. It drains an area of 98,796 sq.kms. out of which nearly 87% lies in Madhya Pradesh besides some areas in the states of Maharashtra and Gujarat. The Narmada basin lies between east longitudes 720 32' to 810 45' and north latitudes 21020' to 23045'. It flows through Deccan trap in between Vindhya and Satpura ranges of hills before falling into the gulf of Cambay in the Arabian Sea. 69. The Narmada rises from a Kund (spring) at an elevation of 1057m. at Amarkantak in the Maikal hill in Shahdol district of Madhya Pradesh and flows through Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Gujarat between Vindhya and Satpura hill ranges before falling into the gulf of Cambay in the Arabian Sea about 10 km north of Bharuch district of Gujarat. The total length of this west flowing river from its origin to its outfall into the Sea is 1,312 kms. For the first 1,079 kms. it runs in Madhya Pradesh and thereafter it forms the common boundary between Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra for 35 kms., and Maharashtra and Gujarat for 35 kms. In Gujarat State it stretches for 159 km.

73. 70. It is bounded by the Vindhyas on the north, by the Maikala range on the east, by the Satpuras on the south and by the Arabian Sea on the west. The hilly regions are in the upper part of the basin, and lower middle reaches are broad and fertile areas well suited for cultivation. Narmada is the largest west flowing river of the peninsular India. It rises from Maikala range near Amarkantak in Anuppur district of Madhya Pradesh, at an elevation of about 1057 m. The total length of the river is 1,312 km and for the first 1079 km it flows in Madhya Pradesh and there after forms the common boundary between Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra for 35 km, and Maharashtra and Gujarat for 39 km. In Gujarat State it stretches for 159 km. Its important tributaries are the Burhner, the Banjar, the Sher, the Shakkar, the Dudhi, the Tawa , the Ganjal, the Kundi, the Goi and the Karjan which joins from left whereas the Hiran, the Tendoni, the Barna, the Kolar, the Man, the Uri, the Hatni and the Orsang joins from right. Narmada drains into the Arabian Sea through the Gulf of Khambhat. The major part of basin is covered with agriculture accounting to 56.90%. Water bodies cover 2.95% of the total basin area. The basin spreads over 20 parliamentary constituencies (2009) comprising 15 of Madhya Pradesh, 3 of Gujarat, and 1 each of Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra. The Narmada Water Disputes Tribunal has allocated the Narmada water amongst the States as below: Madhya Pradesh – 18.25 Million Acre Feet Gujarat - 9.0 Million Acre Feet Rajasthan –0.5 Million Acre Feet Maharashtra – 28.0 Million Acre Feet Salient Features of Narmada Basin

Source: Integrated Hydrological Data Book (2015), CWC 74. From the above river Discharge Guage analysis it is observed that minimum volume in Narmada River in last 10 years was 82.64 MCM at Manot and 1113.2 MCM at Barmanghat while the estimated requirement of Group WSS for the ultimate design year (2048) is 11.31 MCM, considering 22 hour pumping. Hence the Narmada River is adopted as sustainable water source for the proposed group water supply scheme. If we compare upstream and downstream data then downstream flow is much higher than the upstream flow it is because of Bargi dam which is located approx. 30 km upstream from the proposed intake well. 72. Water quality. Existing water quality of Narmada River is good, as per MPPCB Narmada river water quality comes under category ―B‖ river and is suitable for domestic supply after conventional treatment and disinfection. There is Jabalpur city approx. 10 km upstream from proposed intake well location, but under Narmada Clean mission a STP is proposed for the Jabalpur city . Therefore no impacts envisaged.

75. Sensitive project locations. The subproject towns are surrounded by forest areas, which are of open mixed or dense mixed type jungles that are under reserved, protected or unclassified categories. None of the subproject components except CWRM from Patan to Tendukheda town comes under the forest areas. Since the proposed CWRM laid along the existing road RoW, but appropriate steps should be taken according to the nature of the risk. This should involve:

a. No construction material storage/ancillary works shall be conducted in the forest area; this shall be limited to actual construction area and the access roads b. No labour camps shall be located near forests (maintain minimum 1km buffer) c. Limit the work to daylight hours only; no work after sunset d. No workers /personnel shall enter forest areas; it is the DBOC responsibility to take necessary precautions & prevent workers removing/damaging trees/vegetation, hunting animals e. Create awareness among workers on environment & safety f. No high noisy works shall be conducted Barricade the construction area properly so that no wild animals entre the work area 76. Social and Cultural Resources. Bhedaghat and Panagar are historical town, and any work involving ground disturbance can uncover and damage archaeological and historical remains. For this project, excavation will occur in project sites, which are spread over entire towns, so it could make high risk of such impacts if the sites contain any archeological and historical remains. Some proposed project sites (of WTP, transmission and distribution lines) are located within 300 m, which require prior permission of ASI. Besides this, the entire town is archeologically rich and the local enquiries indicate that there are instances of unearthing archeological remains especially in old town area during excavation for foundations of houses constructed by local people. Appropriate steps should be taken according to the nature of the risk. This should involve: (i) Obtain permission for construction of WTP and laying of water pipelines within 300 m of protected monuments (ii) Include ASI as project stakeholder, Bhedaghat and Panagar local representative of ASI should be included in the town level committee (iii) Develop a protocol for use by the construction contractors in conducting any excavation work, to ensure that any chance finds are recognised and measures are taken to ensure they are protected and conserved. This should involve: o Having excavation observed by a person with archaeological field training; contractor should employee a person with a formal certification course in archaeology from recognized (such as Institute of Archaeology, ASI, Delhi) during the ground excavation activities o Conduct awareness training to contractor & supervision staff prior to start of excavation o Stopping work immediately to allow further investigation if any finds are suspected; o Calling in the ASI if a find is suspected, and taking any action they require to ensure its removal or protection in situ (iii) WTP site is located approx. 250 m away from Protected monument. Application has been submitted to ASI for NOC. The site selected is best suitable for proposed WTP and no other suitable government land is available in the town. Proposed land parcel is approx. 10.21 Ha, half of this area comes under 300 m dia and half comes outside the 300 dia. Hence, as mitigation measures during construction, it will ensured that only boundary wall of WTP is constructed under 300 m and other components of WTP are constructed on the outer skirts of the plot.

77. Similarly proposed works in the river bed (for intake) may damage the river bed, lead to degradation of water quality due to increase in turbidity and contamination from fuels and lubricant used in construction work. Increase in silt content and water turbidity, chemical quality can affect the aquatic life. Measures are included in the EMP to avoid, minimize these impacts. 78. Removal of trees and vegetation will be minimize by best alignment and layout planning of facilities, however, this cannot be avoided fully. Appropriate measures in terms of compensatory tree plantation are included in the EMP. 79. Utilities. Telephone lines, electric poles and wires, water lines within the proposed project locations may require to be shifted in few cases. To mitigate the adverse impacts due to relocation of the utilities, the contractor, in collaboration with ULB will be required to implement appropriate measures. These are given in the EMP. 80. Site selection of construction work camps, stockpile areas, storage areas, and disposal areas. Priority is to locate these near the project location. However, if it is deemed necessary to locate elsewhere, sites to be considered will not promote instability and result in destruction of property, vegetation, irrigation, and drinking water supply systems. Residential areas will not be considered for setting up construction camps to protect the human environment (i.e., to curb accident risks, health risks due to air and water pollution and dust, and noise, and to prevent social conflicts, shortages of amenities, and crime). Extreme care will be taken to avoid disposals near forest areas, water bodies, or in areas which will 81. Site selection of sources of materials. Significant quantities of coarse aggregate and fine aggregate will be required for construction works. Requirement of gravel is limited. Contractor should procure these materials only from the quarries permitted/licensed by Mines and Geology Department. Contractor should, to the maximum extent possible, procure material from existing quarries, and creation of new quarry areas should be avoid as far as possible. It will be the construction contractor‘s responsibility to verify the suitability of all material sources and to obtain the approval of Department of Mines & Geology and local revenue administration.

B. Construction Impacts

82. Construction works. Civil works in the project include linear excavation for laying pipes along the roads, placing pipes in the trench and refilling with the excavated soil. The trenches will be of 0.4 m – 0.7 m wide and 0.8 to 1 m depth. Subsequent to completion of works, road reinstatement will be undertaken by the contractor as part of the civil works. The roads in the core city area of all the towns are very narrow and congested with pedestrians and vehicles (mainly 2-wheelers), while the roads in outer areas are wide.

83. Earth work excavation will be undertaken by machine (backhoe excavator) or manually and include danger lighting and using barricades at every 100 m.. Sufficient care will be taken while laying so that existing utilities and cables are not damaged and pipes are not thrown into the trenches or dragged, but carefully laid in the trenches. As trenches are a maximum of 1.2 m, there is no risk of collapse of trenches or risk to surrounding buildings. Once they are laid, pipes will be joined as per specification and then tested for any cracks of leakages. The minimum working hours will be 8 hours daily, the total duration of each stage depends on the soil condition and other local features. About 95% of the excavated soil will be used for refilling the refilling the trench after placing the pipe and therefore residual soil after pipe laying and refilling is not significant. This excel soil shall be used for construction.

84. Although construction of these project components involves quite simple techniques of civil work, the invasive nature of excavation and the project locations in the built-up areas of the town where there are a variety of human activities, will result in impacts to the environment and sensitive receptors such as residents, businesses, and the community in general. The following are anticipated impacts, which are temporary and for short duration:

(i) Dust and air emissions from construction activities and equipment / vehicles affecting the ambient air quality (ii) Impacts on natural drainage, surface water bodies due to disposal of construction waste and silt / chemical laden run off from work areas (iii) Impacts on river eco-system due to river bed construction (iv) Impacts due to disposal of surplus soil, construction waste, debris etc., (v) Impacts due to noise and vibration from consultation activities (vi) Impacts due to collection of groundwater in trenches & disposal of the same (vii) Impact/public inconvenience/ accessibility issues due to excavation on public roads (narrow old town roads), movement of trucks carrying construction material (viii) Impacts on business, activities, people due to loss/restricted access to public/private/business/sensitive areas (schools, hospitals), etc., (ix) Occupation health and safety impacts on workers (x) Health Impacts due to removal of existing AC (asbestos cement) pipes (xi) Community health and safety impacts due to construction in an urban area (xii) Impacts due to establishment/operation of temporary construction camps

85. Construction of intake well in the river may lead to degradation of water quality due to increase in turbidity and chemical contamination from fuels and lubricant used in construction work. Increase in silt content and water turbidity, chemical quality can affect the aquatic life, silting/chocking of spill ways/ canals etc., Though there are no notable aquatic life, to ensure that any negative impacts are mitigation, the contractor will be required to: o Select a construction methodology that is least disturbing, and appropriate for the in-situ soil condition o Schedule the construction works during low water level period – late winter months to pre monsoon (February – June/July); ensure that works are completed during the same period to prior to onset of monsoon; confirm with Bargi dam authorities on release of water; avoid scheduling the works during water release period. o Erect temporary barriers to form enclosed construction area with least disturbance o Allow adequate time settle the distributed solids to prior to pumping out water; only clear/clarified water shall be pumped back into the reservoir; any silt laden water should be pumped to a silt pond o Avoid/minimize use of fuels, chemicals and lubricants; ensure no spillage

86. Generation of Construction Wastes. Solid wastes generated from the construction activities are excess excavated earth (spoils), discarded construction materials, cement bags, wood, steel, oils, fuels and other similar items. Domestic solid wastes may also be generated from the workers‘ camp. Improper waste management could cause odor and vermin problems, pollution and flow obstruction of nearby watercourses and could negatively impact the landscape. The following mitigation measures to minimize impacts from waste generation shall be implemented by the contractor:

o Prepare and implement a Construction Waste Management Plan

M/s LN Malviya Infra Project Pvt. Ltd. Page 43

IEE Package 5B

o Stockpiles, lubricants, fuels, and other materials should be located away from steep slopes and water bodies; o Avoid stockpiling any excess spoils. Excess excavated soils should be dispose to approved designated areas; o Domestic solid wastes should be properly segregated in biodegradable and non-biodegradable for collection and disposal to designated solid waste disposal site; o Residual and hazardous wastes such as oils, fuels, and lubricants shall be disposed in disposal sites approved by local authorities; o Prohibit burning of construction and domestic waste; o Ensure that wastes are not haphazardly dumped within the project site and adjacent areas. o Get approval of PIU in writing that the necessary environmental restoration work has been adequately performed before acceptance of work.

87. Noise and Vibration Levels. Except water intake and WTP, all the construction works will be conducted at selected sites and along the roads in all the seven towns‘ urban area and surroundings, where there are houses, schools and hospitals, religious & historical places and small-scale businesses. The sensitive receptors are the general population in these areas. Increase in noise level may be caused by excavation, particularly breaking of cement concrete or bitumen roads, operation of construction equipment like concrete mixers, and the transportation of equipment, materials, and people. Vibration generated from construction activity, for instance from the use of pneumatic drills, will have impact on nearby buildings and monuments. This impact is negative but short-term, and reversible by mitigation measures. The construction contractor will be required to:

o Plan activities in consultation with PIU so that activities with the greatest potential to generate noise are conducted during periods of the day which will result in least disturbance; o Horns should not be used unless it is necessary to warn other road users or animals of the vehicle‘s approach; o 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 o Maintain maximum sound levels not exceeding 80 decibels (dBA) when measured at a distance of 10 m or more from the vehicle/s. o Identify any buildings at risk from vibration damage and avoiding any use of pneumatic drills or heavy vehicles in the vicinity;

88. Surface and Groundwater Quality. Another physical impact that is often associated with excavation is the effect on drainage and the local water table if groundwater and surface water collect in the voids. In all the towns groundwater is deeper than the proposed excavation depths, and rains are limited to short duration during monsoon. However, to ensure that water will not pond in pits and voids near project location, the construction contractor will be required to conduct excavation works in non-monsoon season to the maximum extent possible.

89. Accessibility. Excavation along the roads, hauling of construction materials and operation of equipment on-site can cause traffic problems. Roads in the core/old town area is very narrow. However, most of the roads are used by pedestrians and two wheelers, and four wheelers vehicles are very limited. Potential impact is negative but

M/s LN Malviya Infra Project Pvt. Ltd. Page 44

IEE Package 5B

short term and reversible by mitigation measures. The construction contractor will be required to:

o Confine work areas along the roads to the minimum possible extent; all the activities, including material & waste/surplus soil stocking should be confined to this area. Proper barricading should be provided; avoid material/surplus soil stocking in congested areas – immediately removed from site/ or brought to the as and when required o Leave spaces for access between mounds of soil; o Provide walkways and metal sheets where required to maintain access across for people and vehicles; o Plan transportation routes so that heavy vehicles do not use narrow local roads, except in the immediate vicinity of delivery sites; o Schedule transport and hauling activities during non-peak hours; o Locate entry and exit points in areas where there is low potential for traffic congestion; o Keep the site free from all unnecessary obstructions; o Drive vehicles in a considerate manner; o Coordinate with Traffic Police for temporary road diversions, where necessary, and for provision of traffic aids if transportation activities cannot be avoided during peak hours o Notify affected public by public information notices, providing sign boards informing nature and duration of construction works and contact numbers for concerns/complaints. 90. Wherever road width is minimal, there will be temporary loss of access to pedestrians and vehicular traffic including 2 wheelers during the laying of pipes. Under those circumstances, contractor shall adopt following measures:

o Inform the affected local population 1-week in advance about the work schedule o Plan and execute the work in such a way that the period of disturbance/ loss of access is minimum. o Provide pedestrian access in all the locations until normalcy is restored. Provide wooden/metal planks over the open trenches at each house to maintain the access.

91. Socio-Economic – Income. The project components will be located in government land and there is no requirement for land acquisition or any resettlement. Construction works will impede the access of residents to specific site in limited cases. The potential impacts are negative and moderate but short-term and temporary. The construction contractor will be required to:

o Leave spaces for access between mounds of soil; o Provide walkways and metal sheets where required to maintain access across for people and vehicles; o Increase workforce in the areas with predominantly institutions, place of worship, business establishment, hospitals, and schools; o Consult businesses and institutions regarding operating hours and factoring this in work schedules; and o Provide sign boards for pedestrians to inform nature and duration of

M/s LN Malviya Infra Project Pvt. Ltd. Page 45

IEE Package 5B

construction works and contact numbers for concerns/complaints. o Notify community/ water users in advance about likely interruptions in water supply. o Provide alternate sources of clean water until water supply is restored.

92. Socio-Economic – Employment. Manpower will be required during the 24-months construction stage. This can result in generation of temporary employment and increase in local revenue. Thus potential impact is positive and long-term. The construction contractor will be required to:

o Employ at least 50% of the labour force, or to the maximum extent;

93. 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:

o Comply with all national, state and local labour laws (see Appendix 9); o 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 Training1 for all site personnel; (d) documented procedures to be followed for all site activities; and (e) documentation of work-related accidents; o Ensure that qualified first-aid is provided at all times. Equipped first-aid stations shall be easily accessible throughout the site; o Provide medical insurance coverage for workers; o Secure all installations from unauthorized intrusion and accident risks; o Provide supplies of potable drinking water; o Provide clean eating areas where workers are not exposed to hazardous or noxious substances; o 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; o 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; o Ensure the visibility of workers through their use of high visibility vests when working in or walking through heavy equipment operating areas; o Ensure moving equipment is outfitted with audible back-up alarms; o Mark and provide sign boards for hazardous areas such as energized electrical devices and lines, service rooms housing high voltage equipment,

1 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.

M/s LN Malviya Infra Project Pvt. Ltd. Page 46

IEE Package 5B

and areas for storage and 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 o Disallow worker exposure to noise level greater than 85 dBA for duration of more than 8 hours per day without hearing protection. The use of hearing protection shall be enforced actively.

94. Asbestos Materials. Existing water distribution network is mostly asbestos cement (AC) pipes, and because of the health risks these will be left in situ and replaced by new pipes. Plan pipeline alignments carefully to avoid any conflict or damage.

95. Community Health and Safety. Hazards posed to the public, specifically in high- pedestrian areas may include traffic accidents and vehicle collision with pedestrians. Potential impact is negative but short-term and reversible by mitigation measures. The construction contractor will be required to:

o Plan routes to avoid times of peak-pedestrian activities. o Liaise with PIU in identifying risk areas on route cards/maps. o Maintain regularly the vehicles and use of manufacturer-approved parts to minimize potentially serious accidents caused by equipment malfunction or premature failure. o Provide road signs and flag persons to warn of on-going trenching activities.

96. 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 construction contractor will be required to:

o Consult PIU before locating project offices, sheds, and construction plants; o Minimize removal of vegetation and disallow cutting of trees; o Provide drinking water, water for other uses, and sanitation facilities for employees; o Ensure conditions of liveability at work camps are maintained at the highest standards possible at all times; o Prohibit employees from poaching wildlife and cutting of trees for firewood; o Train employees in the storage and handling of materials which can potentially cause soil contamination; o Recover used oil and lubricants and reuse or remove from the site; o Manage solid waste according to the following preference hierarchy: reuse, recycling and disposal to designated areas; o Remove all wreckage, rubbish, or temporary structures which are no longer required; and o Confirm to PMU report in writing that the camp has been vacated and restored to pre-project conditions before acceptance of work.

97. Debris disposal. Prior to the commencement of works, contractor shall identify a debris disposal site in consultation with the PIU and adhering to following criteria:

o The site shall be selected preferably from barren, infertile lands. In case

M/s LN Malviya Infra Project Pvt. Ltd. Page 47

IEE Package 5B

agricultural land needs to be selected, top-soil stripping, stacking and preservation should be undertaken prior to initiation of any activities. o Debris disposal site shall be at least 200 m away from surface water bodies2. o No residential areas shall be located within 100 m downwind side of the site. o The site is minimum 250 m. away from sensitive locations like hospitals, religious places, ponds/lakes or other water bodies. The local governing body and community shall be consulted while selecting the site

98. The above impacts are typical for construction in urban areas, and therefore are common to all the seven subproject towns. These are negative but short-term and reversible by mitigation measures. There are well-developed and proven measures and construction practices to avoid, mitigate and/or minimize these impacts to acceptable levels. These measures are given in the construction phase EMP applicable to all seven towns.

C. Operation and Maintenance Impacts 99. Operation and Maintenance of the water supply system will be carried out by the DBO Contractor for 10 years, and after which the respective municipalities will operate and maintain the infrastructure. During the system design life (15/30 years for mechanical/civil components),it shall not require major repairs or refurbishments and should operate with little maintenance beyond routine actions required to keep the equipment in working order. The stability and integrity of the system will be monitored periodically to detect any problems and allow remedial action if required. Any repairs will be small-scale involving manual, temporary, and short-term works involving regular checking and recording of performance for signs of deterioration, servicing and replacement of parts.

100. Recurrence of pipe bursting and leakage problems can be managed by the leak detection and water auditing surveys. The ULBs will be required to ensure that the leak detection and rectification time is minimized.

101. Provision for recirculation system for filter backwash – backwash water from filter beds will be sent to a storage tank, and after allowing adequate time for settlement of solids, clarified water will be pumped to WTP inlet. This arrangement will avoid pollution and also minimize wastage of water. Water treatment process will generate sludge from sedimentation of particulate matter in raw water, flocculated and precipitated material resulting from chemical coagulation, residuals of excess chemical dosage, plankton etc; and waste from rinsing and back washing of filter media containing debris, chemical precipitates, straining of organic debris and plankton. Accumulated sludge from Tube Settler, filter backwash etc., will be disposed-off at sludge drying beds for natural drying. Dried sludge will be disposed off in a land fill or used as soil conditioner if it is suitable

2 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.

D. Project benefits 102. During the construction phase, there are likely to be positive impacts through employment generation, increase in local revenue from the project activities. During the operation phase also, there is potential for employment generation, though limited, as the improved and expanded water infrastructure requires additional workforce. 103. The citizens of Package 5B towns will be the major beneficiaries of the improved water supply system, as they will be provided with a constant supply of better quality water, piped into their homes at an appropriate pressure. The project will improve the over-all health condition of the towns as water borne diseases will be reduced, so people should spend less on healthcare and lose fewer working days due to illness, so their economic status should also improve, as well as their overall health. This should also improve the environment of these areas, should deliver major improvements in individual and community health and well-being.

147. Most of the mitigation measures require the contractors to adopt good site practice, which should be part of their normal procedures already, so there are unlikely to be major costs associated with compliance. The costs which are specific to EMP implementation and are not covered elsewhere in the projects are given below. The total costs are estimated at INR 37.45 million, which are to be covered by contractor costs.

X. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

148. The process described in this document has assessed the environmental impacts of all elements of the Package 5B towns water supply improvement subproject. All potential impacts were identified in relation to pre-construction, construction, and operation phases. Planning principles and design considerations have been reviewed and incorporated into the site planning and design process wherever possible; thus, environmental impacts as being due to the project design or location were not significant. 149. Project area mostly comprises urban areas, agricultural areas of Bhedaghat, Katangi, Majholi, Panagar, Patan, Sihora and Tendukheda. Extent of forest areas in the project area is very limited, and none of the project components are located in the forest areas, except CWRM from Patan to Tendukheda towns. In Bhedaghat, Open forest areas are located near the source, but none of the proposed project components comes under forest area. These are open forests with shrubs and bushes, and trees. Flora in that area consist of mixed forest, bamboo, teak, sal etc. Katangi- Tala reserve forest located in the North-east direction of Katangi town approx. 2 km from the town, none of the project components comes under these. Majholi- There is an Open mixed forest in the South-west direction of Majholi town, Flora in that area consists of mixed forest, mainly sal etc., none of the project components comes under these. Panagar- Bohra Reserve forest and Open mixed forests are located approx. 5 km from the Panagar town, in the Southern- eastern skirts, but none of the proposed project components comes under these forests. Sihora- An area east of Sihora around villages Maragarh, Kurro etc. is occupied by the Maragarh reserved Forest. Bohra Reserve forest and Open mixed forests are located approx. 12 km from the Sihora town, in the Southern direction from the town, but none of the proposed project components comes under these forests. Patan and Tendukheda- Mahguwan and Sahajpur Reserve forest area comes between Patan and Tendukheda Towns. The Clear water Rising main of approx. 10 km from Patan to Tendukheda will be laid along a road, that comes under Forest areas. The pipeline will be laid in the road right of way, and will not encroach into the forest habitat. Process have been started for obtain NOC from Forest department, under these application have been applied (annexed in appendix 14) by the design consultant to the DFO, Damoh. 150. For the proposed Group WSS water will be sourced from Narmada River, which is a largest river of MP. The requirement of towns is miniscule in comparison with the river flow. WRD permission for abstraction from the river is in process. PMU has already discussed with the WRD, and the permission is likely to be issued soon. Bhedaghat and Panagar towns comes under ASI protected monuments; Although none of the components are located within the protected monuments, WTP (in Bhedaghat town) and distribution lines works (for both the towns) will located within the 300 m around the monuments . Given the minimal excavation (0.4 m wide and 0.7 m deep), there will be no risk to any structure. Nevertheless, the works will be implemented only after due permission of ASI and also the construction methodology will be discussed with the ASI. For chance finds, works will be observed by a person with archeological background. 151. During the construction phase, impacts mainly arise from the construction dust and noise, the need to dispose of large quantities of waste soil and import of construction material, and from the disturbance of residents, businesses, traffic and important buildings by the construction work. The social impacts (access disruptions) due to construction activities are unavoidable, as the residential and commercial establishments exist along the roads where pipes will be laid. As some of the works are conducted in rive, there is a risk of water contamination, river bed damage, etc.. Appropriate measures are suggested.

M/s LN Malviya Infra Pvt. Ltd. Page 81

152. Anticipated impacts of water supply during operation and maintenance will be related to detection and repair of leaks, pipe bursts. These are, however, likely to be minimal, as proper design and selection of good quality pipe material shall mean that leaks are minimal. Leak repair work will be similar to the pipe-laying work. Appropriate measures to deal with backwash water and sludge from WTP is included in the project design. Application and handling of chlorine gas will involve certain risks, and appropriate measures are suggested for safe application. The DBO Contractor will implement the operation stage EMP during contract period. 153. The public participation processes undertaken during project design ensured stakeholders are engaged during the preparation of the IEE. The planned information disclosure measures and process for carrying out consultation with affected people will facilitate their participation during project implementation. 154. The project‘s grievance redress mechanism will provide the citizens with a platform to redress of their grievances, and describes the informal and formal channels, time frame, and mechanisms for resolving complaints about environmental performance. 155. The EMP will assist the PMU, PIU, PMC and DBO contractor in mitigating the environmental impacts, and guide them in the environmentally sound execution of the proposed project. 156. A copy of the EMP/approved SEP shall be kept on-site during the construction period at all times. The EMP shall be made binding on all contractors operating on the site, and will be included in the contractual clauses. Non-compliance with, or any deviation from, the conditions set out in this document shall constitute a failure in compliance. 157. The project will benefit the general public by contributing to the long-term improvement of water supply systems and community liability in Package 5B towns . 158. Therefore, as per ADB SPS, the project is classified as environmental category B and does not require further environmental impact assessment. However, to conform to government guidelines, the project requires (i) permission of WRD, GoMP for water abstraction from Narmada River, and (ii) Consent for Establishment (CFE) and Consent for Operation (CFO) for WTPs from MPPCB; and (iii) ASI and Forest department permission. These permissions/approvals shall be obtained. 159. This IEE shall be updated during the detailed design stage by the DBO contractor to reflect any changes, amendments and will be reviewed and approved by PMU.

Appendix 10: Sample Outline Traffic Management Plan

A. Principles for TMP around the Water Pipes Construction Sites

1. One of the prime objectives of this TMP is to ensure the safety of all the road users along the work zone, and to address the following issues: (i) the safety of pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists travelling through the construction zone; (ii) protection of work crews from hazards associated with moving traffic; (iii) mitigation of the adverse impact on road capacity and delays to the road users; (iv) maintenance of access to adjoining properties; and (v) addressing issues that may delay the project.

B. Operating Policies for TMP

2. The following principles will help promote safe and efficient movement for all road users (motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians, including persons with disabilities) through and around work zones while reasonably protecting workers and equipment. (i) Make traffic safety and temporary traffic control an integral and high-priority element of project from planning through design, construction, and maintenance. (ii) Inhibit traffic movement as little as possible. (iii) Provide clear and positive guidance to drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians as they approach and travel through the temporary traffic control zone. (iv) Inspect traffic control elements routinely, both day and night, and make modifications when necessary. (v) Pay increased attention to roadside safety in the vicinity of temporary traffic control zones. (vi) Train all persons that select, place, and maintain temporary traffic control devices. (vii) Keep the public well informed. (viii) Make appropriate accommodation for abutting property owners, residents, businesses, emergency services, railroads, commercial vehicles, and transit operations.

3. Figure A2 to Figure A12illustrates the operating policy for TMP for the construction of water pipes and the sewers along various types of roads.

C. Analyze the impact due to street closure

4. Apart from the capacity analysis, a final decision to close a particular street and divert the traffic should involve the following steps:

(i) approval from the ULB/Public Works Department (PWD) to use the local streets as detours; (ii) consultation with businesses, community members, traffic police, PWD, etc, regarding the mitigation measures necessary at the detours where the road is diverted during the construction; (iii) determining of the maximum number of days allowed for road closure, and incorporation of such provisions into the contract documents;

(iv) determining if additional traffic control or temporary improvements are needed along the detour route; (v) considering how access will be provided to the worksite; (vi) contacting emergency service, school officials, and transit authorities to determine if there are impacts to their operations; and (vii) developing a notification program to the public so that the closure is not a surprise. As part of this program, the public should be advised of alternate routes that commuters can take or will have to take as result of the traffic diversion.

5. If full road-closure of certain streets within the area is not feasible due to inadequate capacity of the detour street or public opposition, the full closure can be restricted to weekends with the construction commencing on Saturday night and ending on Monday morning prior to the morning peak period.

Figure A1: Policy Steps for the TMP

D. Public awareness and notifications

6. As per discussions in the previous sections, there will be travel delays during the constructions, as is the case with most construction projects, albeit on a reduced scale if utilities and traffic management are properly coordinated. There are additional grounds for travel delays in the area, as most of the streets lack sufficient capacity to accommodate additional traffic from diverted traffic as a result of street closures to accommodate the works.

102

6. The awareness campaign and the prior notification for the public will be a continuous activity which the project will carry out to compensate for the above delays and minimize public claims as result of these problems. These activities will take place sufficiently in advance of the time when the roadblocks or traffic diversions take place at the particular streets. The reason for this is to allow sufficient time for the public and residents to understand the changes to their travel plans. The project will notify the public about the roadblocks and traffic diversion through public notices, ward level meetings and city level meeting with the elected representatives.

7. The PIU will also conduct an awareness campaign to educate the public about the following issues:

(i) traffic control devices in place at the work zones (signs, traffic cones, barriers, etc.); (ii) defensive driving behaviour along the work zones; and (iii) reduced speeds enforced at the work zones and traffic diversions.

8. It may be necessary to conduct the awareness programs/campaigns on road safety during construction.

9. The campaign will cater to all types of target groups i.e. children, adults, and drivers. Therefore, these campaigns will be conducted in schools and community centres. In addition, the project will publish a brochure for public information. These brochures will be widely circulated around the area and will also be available at the PIU, and the contractor's site office. The text of the brochure should be concise to be effective, with a lot of graphics. It will serve the following purpose:

(i) explain why the brochure was prepared, along with a brief description of the project; (ii) advise the public to expect the unexpected; (iii) educate the public about the various traffic control devices and safety measures adopted at the work zones; (iv) educate the public about the safe road user behaviour to emulate at the work zones; (v) tell the public how to stay informed or where to inquire about road safety issues at the work zones (name, telephone, mobile number of the contact person; and (vi) indicate the office hours of relevant offices.

E. Install traffic control devices at the work zones and traffic diversion routes

10. The purpose of installing traffic control devices at the work zones is to delineate these areas to warn, inform, and direct the road users about a hazard ahead, and to protect them as well as the workers. As proper delineation is a key to achieve the above objective, it is important to install good traffic signs at the work zones. The following traffic control devices are used in work zones:

 Signs  Pavement Markings  Channelizing Devices  Arrow Panels  Warning Lights

103

11. Procedures for installing traffic control devices at any work zone vary, depending on road configuration, location of the work, construction activity, duration, traffic speed and volume, and pedestrian traffic. Work will take place along major roads, and the minor internal roads. As such, the traffic volume and road geometry vary. The main roads carry considerable traffic; internal roads in the new city areas are wide but in old city roads very narrow and carry considerable traffic. However, regardless of where the construction takes place, all the work zones should be cordoned off, and traffic shifted away at least with traffic cones, barricades, and temporary signs (temporary ―STOP‖ and ―GO‖).

12. Figure A2 to Figure A6 illustrates a typical set-up for installing traffic control devices at the work zone of the area, depending on the location of work on the road way, and road geometrics:  Work on shoulder or parking lane  Shoulder or parking lane closed on divided road  Work in Travel lane  Lane closure on road with low volume  Street closure with detour

13. The work zone should take into consideration the space required for a buffer zone between the workers and the traffic (lateral and longitudinal) and the transition space required for delineation, as applicable. For the works, a 30 cm clearance between the traffic and the temporary STOP and GO signs should be provided. In addition, at least 60 cm is necessary to install the temporary traffic signs and cones.

14. Traffic police should regulate traffic away from the work zone and enforce the traffic diversion result from full street closure in certain areas during construction. Flagggers/ personnel should be equipped with reflective jackets at all times and have traffic control batons (preferably the LED type) for regulating the traffic during night time.

16. In addition to the delineation devices, all the construction workers should wear fluorescent safety vests and helmets in order to be visible to the motorists at all times. There should be provision for lighting beacons and illumination for night constructions.
