E.0 EXECUTIVE SUNINIARX

[E.1 Introduction

Keeping in view the futu developments in the Punjab state importance of improving the I serviceability of the vast roa network of State Highway, Major District Roads, and Other District Roads in a systematic man er, the Government of Punjab (GoP) through the Punjab Roads and Bridges Development Bo d (PRBDB) after a Strategic Options Study (SOS) identified a I programme for implement ioII through Punjab State Road Sector Project (PSRSP) through the loani sanctionied by the Wor Bank. l The PRBDB identified 169 km of roads as priority corridors in Punjab for feasibility study. The project roads to be covered nder the environmental study are: I Phase-I, Package 1: Feasib ity Studies (1698 kms) & Preliminary Engineering (700 kms) Pthase-I, Package 2: DPR- ehabilitation (254 kms) Phase-I, Package 3: DPR- Upgradation (144 kms) Phase-Il, Technical Advis y Services

Some roads have been de ted from the original scope of work and some new roads have been I added into it. The final esultant road length is 1707 kms according to TOR or 1697 kms according to actual length iven by PRBDB. In Phase-I, Package-I, as part of the feasibility study, environmental screening s dy of the 1697 km roads (that include rehabilitation package- 241 krm and upgradation package- 39 km) has been carried out.

This environmental scree ng report is prepared in accordance with the World Bank's guidelines on Environmental Assess ent. The major objective of this screening study is to provide a picture of the existing environme tal conditions along all the project roads based on available secondary information supported by eld studies/ survey conducted by environment specialists, preliminary assessment of the likel environmental impacts on the environment due to the physical intervention through this project, to recommend the environmental management measures to reduce adverse impacts, if any, and to determine the scope of further detail environmental Ie assessment, if required. The field survey was carried out from July to October 2005. The environmental screening eport is prepared by M/s Consulting Engineering Services (I) Pvt. Ltd. l on behalf of the PRBDB.

. Scope of WN'ork

The summary of the scop of work related to environmental screening is:

* Collection of infor tion on existing environmental scenario from secondary sources and If identification of data aps to be filled from primary surveys. * Primary surveys: ha line (air, water and noise) pollution monitoring at representative and sensitive locations. * Identification of All macro-level environmental issues and all regionally or nationally recognized enviror 4nental resources & features (like stretches of roadside trees,

For identification of imr cts of road improvement on the sensitive & nationally/ regionally important environmental features like eco-sensitive areas (reserve forests, national parks, I, sanctuaries, bio-sphere r serves, sacred groves, protected areas, wetlands, major rivers etc.), cultural heritage & archa ological sites, as well as for defining general environmental setup like topography, climate, air, water & noise quality etc. the project influence area (or the study I corridor) has been defined as the area falling within 7 km on either side of the project roads. However, for the roadsi; e features like roadside religious structures, educational institutions, medical amenities, water bodies, roadside trees etc. on which impacts of road improvement are generally confined withi few meters of the ROW, the project influence area has been taken as L . 100 m on either side of th project road. f'aI.

1 3.2 Environmental Aspects S died During Screening

Environmental screening o 1703 km of roads has been undertaken in order to determine which roads present no major en ironmental issues and which roads will require further environmental aanalysis including the anal sis of alternative alignment if appropriate, to resolve such issues.

I Emphasis has been give on collection and analysis of available secondary information supplemiented by appropri te site surveys & stakeholder consultation on sensitive and/or critical natural habitats (e.g. natio al parks, reserves, wildlife sanctuaries, sacred groves, protected areas, forests, wetlands etc.), maj r river & waterways, cultural heritage sites and any other potentially sensitive areas. During scr ening the following aspects have been covered:

* Sensitive natural habit ts (national parks, sanctuaries, wetlands, forests) * Surface water resource (rivers, canals etc.) I . Ground water conditio s * Water use (quality) & vailability of water * W logging, flooding drainage issues (area/road-side) I * Preservation & manag ment of soil resources (erosion, embankment height etc.) * Loss of trees for upgra ation * Material sources- e rth (borrow area) & aggregates (quarry), environment friendly construction material, .g. fly ash from power plant * Management and disp sal of debris and bitumen * Baseline pollution (ai noise, soil & water) * Pre-dominant land us * Sensitive comnmunity roperties (religious/ cultural property, water sources etc.) * * Cultural heritage sites * Safety related issues & accident due to roadside trees in particular area * Collection/ compilati n of information on baseline conditions from primary & secondary l. sources * Detail recording spo consultation with stakeholders consisting of name, occupation and opinion of the partici Ants * . Fill-in data gaps * Location specific des n recommendation (if required) i * Identification of VEC 0 Framing managemen measures for avoidance & mitigation of potential adverse impacts * Identification of road with no major issues * Identification of road for which detailed assessment is required

3.3 Identified VIECs & thei Distance from Project Roads r In Punjab there is no nati nal parks or tiger reserve. In the following VECs has been found within the project influence area of the project roads (Table-2):

* Wildlife sanctuaries wetlands * Religious & cultural eritage places * Major rivers

I 3.5 Findings of Environnienta Screening

a There is no environiei :al constraint that critically affect the rehabilitation & upgradation of the roads.

* Though for upgradatio X roadside trees on one side and on both sides have to be felled depending otn the scale of widening, the impact is not critical as the trees have only timber value and of no cultur I importance, and the felling of such trees will be compensated by l replantation.

* Nonc of the roads is p ssing through eco-sensitive areas like reserve forests and sanctuaries. l Though there are som wildlife sanctuaries in the state they are far away (min 300 m and nmaximum 32 kn) fro n the project roads and therefore will not be affected by the road improvement progranu le.

* The roadside schools, hospitals & temples are mostly outside the ROW and will not be affected for rehabilitat n or upgradation without land acquisition. They will be affected only in case of upgradation ike 4-Laning where additional land acquisition is required.

E.A Stakeholder Assessment Consultation

After a systematic analy s the following major groups of stakeholders have been identified l related to this project:

* Local people that inch de local residents, shopkeepers, farmers & businessmen 3 . Local bodies like Vill ge Panchayats, Municipalities, Conmiittees etc. . Selected govt. agenci e.g. - Public Work Depart ent (PWD) l - State Forest Depart ent - State Irrigation Dep tment - State Agricultural D partment - State Tourism Depa ment E - State Archeological epartment - Punjab State Electri ity Board - State Transport Dep rtment . - Railways . Project affected pers ns (PAPs) i.e. peoples likely to be affected e.g. owners of the roadside I: houses, shops & othe establishments like schools, colleges, hospitals, temples etc. . Local NGOs

The consultation process established for the project has employed a range of fonnal and informal discussions, in-depth inte views, focus group discussions, on-site consultations and meetings.

| The enactment of the pa .icipation and consultations with the primary stakeholders was done at local or village level in a eas where problems were noted.

Therefore, for rehabilitation none of the roadside s hools, hospitals, temples and ponds will be affected and no tree has to be felled. Practically t ere will be no environmental impact, and therefore, no EA is required. Only an environmenta impact & mitigation checklist and a Generic EMP is required.

* For upgradation to 4- ane additional land acquisition is required and therefore some of the I roadside schools, hos itals, temples, ponds & tubewells will be affected at the side of widening and roadsid trees at both sides have to be felled. In other upgradation cases like Widening from Inter ediate Lane to 2-Lane or Widening from Single Lane to Intermediate I Lane, no additional la d acquisition is required, and therefore, none of the roadside schools, hospitals, temples and ponds will be affected. However, roadside trees which are within 3.5 from the edge of the c arriageway have to be felled. Therefore, in case of upgradation full EA I & EMP is required.

Pedestriant Footpatlhs! ala wa,s in Front of Schools & Gutrdwaras:

I A number of schools/ colleges have been found which are located just outside the ROW and their main gate pens directly into the road. It is also found that school children walks on the road pavement due o non-availability of paved footpath. Therefore it is recommended to * develop paved footpath/v alkway in front of major schools/colleges & Gurdwaras for safe movemiient of pedestrian. l 7.2 Utilization of Fly Ash for Road Embankment

There exists 4 coal based hermal Power Plants (TPP) in the State of Punjab namely:

I) Guru Govind Singh T P at Ropar- located about 15 km north of Ropar town 2) Guru Nanak Dev TPP t Bhatinda- located about 10 km west of Bhatinda town 3) Guru Har Govind Si gh TPP at Lehra Mohabbat (2x210 MW) - located 23 km east of Bhatinda 4) GVK Govindwal Sah b Power Project (2x250 MW) in Govindwal Sahib town in Amritsar district. ft Therefore, as per provisi ns of the MOEF Notification on fly ash, ash available from the above TPPs shall be utilised fa the construction of high embankments for the project roads falling within 100 kin radius of hese TPPs provided it is technically suitable & available in sufficient |.- quantity.

7.3 Solid Waste Manageme t

Scarified bitumen wi be recycled for use below Subgrade under pavement or below GSB under shoulder. * Earth material gene ted from excavation of roadways & drainage will be reused during embankment & site velopment. * The small amount f construction debris will be disposed of in suitable pre-identified I dumping areas in tu with the local condition to avoid land degradation & water logging due to indiscriminate du ping. ia'I' INTERIM REPORT, PART C: ENVIRONA NT.4A SCREENING REPORT Project: Consultancv Services for Feasibil y, Environmental and Social Studies for PSRSP Sheet: 19 ofr2 Document: 2005086/EC/Environmental S eeninig Report Date: January 2006 ExecutiNe Summary Revision: RO

1.0 INTRODUCTION & BA KGROUND

1.1 Introduction

Punjab has been in the for front of rapid industrial development along with the development of I service sectors in the cou ry right from green revolution. This phenomnenon in turn created a boom in transport dema on the road system in the state. The state enjoys 100% road connectivity through sprea of its road network much ahead of the declaration of Pradhan Mantry I Gram Sarak Yojona (PM SY) schemes. This state road network has been achieved primarily tthroughi state budget under ifferent road development programs.

I Keeping in view the futu e developments in the state and the importance of improving the serviceability of the netwo k of State Highwvays, Major District Roads, and Other District Roads in a systematic manner, th Government of Punjab (GoP) through the Punjab Roads and Bridges I Development Board (PRB B) commissioned a Strategic Options Study (SOS) in 1996 which was later updated in 2004. The report has dealt with 35 strategic corridors with an aggregate length of 2045 km comprising State ighways, Major District Roads and Other District Roads covering the I entire state of Punjab. Bas d on the above study and other available documents, the Government of Punjab (GoP) through unjab Roads and Bridges Development Board (PRBDB), identified a programme for implemen tion through Punjab State Road Sector Project (PSRSP) through the * loan sanctioned by the W Id Bank.

This environmental scree ~ng report is prepared in accordance with the World Bank's guidelines I on Environmental Assessi ent. The major objective of this screening study is:

. to provide a picture o the existing environmental conditions along all the project roads based I on available second ry information supported by field studies/ survey conducted by environment specialis, * to make preliminary :sessment of the likely environmental impacts on the environment due to the physical interv ntion through this project, * to recommend the e vironmental management measures to reduce adverse impacts, if any, I ' and C to determine the scop of further detail environmental assessment, where required. l, The field survey was car Jed out from July to October 2005. The environmental screening report is prepared by Mls Cons' ting Engineering Services (I) Pvt. Ltd. on behalf of the PRBDB.

1.2 Project Components

The PRBDB identified 1 98 km of roads as priority corridors in Punjab for feasibility study. The i project roads to be cover d under the environmental study are:

Phase-I, Package 1: Feas tility Studies (1698 km) & Preliminary Engineering (700 km) I - Phase-I, Package 2: DP Rehabilitation (254 kni) Phase-I, Package 3: DP - Upgrading (144 km) Phase-Il, Technical Adv ory Services

1.3 Scope of Work

| The scope of consultancy s rvice related to environmental screening as set out in item no. 4 of Task-I "Feasibility Studies' in the TOR is:

I "Environmental Screening f 1698 km of roads will be undertaken in parallel to the Economic and Engineering Anal sis lutlined abovee). In order to determine which roads present no major engineering, economnic. so Wal or environmental issues and which roads will require further I analysis (including the ana sis of alternative alignments if appropriate) to resolve such issues. The environmental screen ig will include, but not be limited to, the analysis of available information, supplemented v, appropriatesite survey, sensitive and/or critical natural habitats * (e.g. national parks, rese 'es. wildlife sanctuaries, sacred groves, protected areas, forests, f wetlands, etc.), major riv Is and waterways, recorded cultural heritage sites, and any other potentially sensitive areas, lased on recent GOI census, official data and informationfrom NGOs (such as WVWF) and site vis ts.

The results of this analysis will be plotted on maps and tabulated to clearly identify any major conflicts with proposed pr ority road improvements along wvith the nature and extent of such conflicts and recommendat ons concerning how to resolve them (including recommendationsfor exclusion, analysis of alterl gtive alignments and/or mitigation) as a precursorto finalizing roads for engineering design and undertaking the required environmental assessment studies (see also Attachments 5 and 6).

The detail Terms of Reft rence (TOR) for Environmental Assessment has been enclosed as Appendix- lof Parl-C. The ummary of the scope of work related to environmental screening is:

* Collection of informa on on existing environmental scenario from secondary sources and identification of data g; lps to be filled from primary surveys. 0 Primary surveys: base ine (air, water and noise) pollution monitoring at representative and w ~~~~~~sensitive locations. * Identification of all tiacro-level environmental issues and all regionally or nationally *' recognized environm Dntal resources & features (like stretches of roadside trees, environmental and cor on property resources such as forests, large water bodies, heritage complexes and major c altural properties) within the project's influence area

1.4 Methodology Adopted for Environmental Screening

Environmental screening f 1698 km (now ascertained to be 1704 km) of roads have been undertaken in order to det ine which roads present no major environmental issues and which roads will require further e vironiental analysis including the analysis of alternative alignment if appropriate, to resolve suc issues. The environmental screening includes the analysis of available information supplemented y appropriate site surveys, sensitive and/or critical natural habitats (e.g. national parks, rese 'es, wildlife sanctuaries, sacred groves, protected areas, forests, wetlands etc.), major river waterways, cultural heritage sites and any other potentially sensitive areas based on official d a, information from stakeholder consultation and site visits. During screening the following as Ects have been covered:

* Sensitive natural habit ts (national parks, sanctuaries, wetlands, forests) * Surface water resourc (rivers, canals etc.) * Ground water conditio s I * Water use (quality) & vailability of water * W logging, flooding drainage issues (area/road-side) * Preservation & manag ment of soil resources (erosion, embankment height etc.) * Loss of trees for upgr ation * Material sources- e rth (borrow area) & aggregates (quarry), environment friendly construction material, .g. fly ash from power plant Management and disp sal of debris and bitumen * Baseline pollution (ai , noise, soil & water) a * Pre-dominant land us * Sensitive community roperties (religious/ cultural property, water sources etc.) * Cultural heritage site * Safety related issues accident due to roadside trees in particular area I & secondary ( * Collection/ compilat n of information on baseline conditions from primary sources * Detail recording sp consultation with stakeholders consisting of name, occupation and opinion of the partici ants Fill-in data gaps Location specific de gn recommendation (if required) * Identification of VE s * Framing manageme measures for avoidance & mitigation of potential adverse impacts * Identification of roa S with no major issues

* Identification of roads I Dr which detailed assessment is required

The following steps are inv lved in completinig this major task.

1.4.1 Survey

Primary survey includes b eline (air, water & noise) pollution monitoring at representative and sensitive locations along he project road, as well as within the project's influence area. All I regionally and nationally ecognized environmental features within the project's influence area have been clearly identifie and studied in relation to the proposed scope of the project. All these 3 have been depicted using line diagram or a strip map.

1.4.2 Stakeh older Assessm1ent & Consultatioii l Stakeholder Assessment: oad projects wliclh affect the surrounding bio-physical and socio- economic environment o en impinge on the responsibilities, interests and welfare of many individuals and organizati ns outside of the road authority in charge of the project. To address the appropriate individuals! o anizations, a systematic stakeholder analysis has been carried out to:

* Identify the individu or stakeholder groups relevant to the project and to environmental issues. Participation f vulnerable section like SC/ ST population, Women, etc. has been ensured. * Include expert opinio and inputs . Determine the nature nd scope of consultation with each type of stakeholders * Determine the tools o be used in contacting and consulting with each type of relevant 3 stakeholders.

Consultation: Consultatioi involved engaging people in dialogue, in other words, a two-way flow l.- of information and ideas etween the proponent and the stakeholders. In establishing the scope of the study it is highly d irable for all key stakeholders to arrive at a consensus on sensitive features, impacts and re edial actions. Involvement of interested parties at an early stage in the EA process can help to i prove that the programme will not be subject to last-minute dispute. I Consultation has been c rried out with all communities that are likely to be affected, NGOs, selected Government Ag ncies, local officials, community representatives and other stakeholders I and feedback has been u ed to improve the plan and design of the project. Consultation focused |; ~~~~~on:

I * Collection of baselin information * Obtaining a better u derstanding of the potential impacts * Appreciation of the erspective! concerns of the stakeholders Safety issues like ovement of local inhabitants, school children and livestock during construction & op ration phase and consideration of various options for unhindered I movement * Road safety conce of people * Movement of livest ck to understand the necessity of "under" or "over" passes. Inclusion of outcom feedback from the consultations of major stakeholder groups in the final F ~~~~~~project design

Main stakeholders are:

* Local people * Selected govt. agencie e.g. forest dept., transport dept., electricity dept., irrigation dept, revenue dept., railways ept., municipalities etc. * Peoples likely to be aff cted e.g. owners of the roadside houses, shops & other establishments like schools, colleges, I spitals, temples etc. * Local NGOs

Identification of stakehol ers and consultation with them has been carried out during the screening stage. Consultati n has been carried out wvith the owners of the roadside houses, shops & other establishments.

1.4.3 Identification of the Value Environinirental Componelnts (VECs)

Valued Environmental Co ponent (VEC) is defined as a social or biophysical component of an environment, which is of alue in a project influence area. VECs has been identified considering the baseline information ( om both primary and secondary), local knowledge, scientific evidence and expert opinion.

* 1.4.4 Preliminary, Analj,sis of I pacts and AManagetnent Afeasures

Preliminary analysis has een conducted on the nature, scale and magnitude of the impacts that the project is likely to ca se on the environment, especially on the identified VECs. Alternative mitigation/ management ptions have been examined based on minimum disturbances and 3 impacts on VECs and the ost appropriate has been suggested. Prioritization of impacts has been donea, in co-relation with ic ntification of VECs.

I Opportunities for envir nmental enhancement has been explored. Activities like avenue plantation, designing of ad junctions, improvement of access road to important public utility like school , community Ia, temple ,gurudwara, etc. have been considered. Proper signage shall E be installed as part of roa furniture.

Views and opinions rai ed during public consultation have been considered while forming l- mitigative and enhancem nt measures l 1.4.5 Scoping for Project Env onmental Assessment (EA)

The planning for an Env onmental Assessment (EA) involves two key activities - screening and scoping. Scoping is a p ocess used for defining what can and what can not be accomplished during a particular envir rimental study.

3. In this stage boundaries f the project EA have been defined after a careful consideration of the * baseline scenario, likel impacts on the identified VECs and outcome of public consultation. Mitigation and enhanc rnent measures have been proposed considering the above facts. It includes a listing of oth environmental issues that do not deserve a detailed examination in the project EA along with a stification.

3.0 ENVIRONNIENTAL SC ENING

3.1 Salient Environmental Fe tures of Punjab State

3.1.1 Plhsiograplhy

The State of Punjab forms western part of the northeni plains of India. In general it is a alluvial plain though not flattish ev ryxvhere. Towards the east and north east the plain rises to form hills - I outer flanks of the H-imala as (Siwalik Hills) and towards the south west it becomes uneven due to the presence of a large umber of sand dunes. Within the plain also the low-lying flood plains of various rivers passing t rough the state are separated from the main plain. The change from I flattish alluvial plains to iwalik Hills is not abrupt; it is rather slow and gentle, through an uneven dissected and rolli g edge called Kandi. Thus the monotonous topography of Punjab can be sub divided into the flowing main physiographic subdivisions as (Source: Geography of Punjab, by Darshan Singh anku, 2002):

* Siwalik Hills * Kandi * Flattish Alluvial Plain * * Flood Plain * Sand Dunes.

The plains are composed .l sediments brought down by various-ivers during the Pleistocene and Recent times. The region I slope is towards south-westwards The slope is very gentle having a gradient of about half m ter per kilometer. The general elevation rages from 300 m. Near the l Siwalik Hills to about 20 m above mean sea level (MSL) in the southwest.

There are three major int r-fluvial plains in the state. They are:

* Upper Bari Doab (M ha) * Jalandhar Doab (Do a) * * .

1 3.1.2 Drainageand Irrigatio

The Drainage of Punjab s the eastern component of the Indus Drainage system. On the whole the drainage of the state fl Fvs toward southwest in response to the general slope of the land. The Punjab in Himachal X three major rivers of t state which have there sources of origin beyond Pradesh and Tibet are ( urce: Geography of Punjab, by Darshan Singh Manku, 2002):

t *~~~~~The Satlu'j . The Beas |_ * The Ravi.

River Ghagghar is an ther important river of Punjab, which traverses through its extreme southem parts along th border. It is a seasonal river which rises in the Siwaliks near Chandigarh and flow s thwestward along the southem boundaries of Punjab.

The main hydrological fea res along the project roads are the rivers and irrigation canals. The drainage system of the state of Punjab consists of various rivers and their tributaries of the Indus valley system. The major ri 'ers in the state are Satluj in the central Purjab, Beas & Ravi in the northern Punjab and Ghagg ar in the Southeast Punjab. Punjab has the best irrigation facilities in the country, about 80% of ts land is irrigated either by canals (20%) or wells/tubewells (60%). There are lakes and wetlan s in Punjab, which have great ecological value, however the project road does not pass through ny such wetland resource. l 3.1.3 Climiiate

The climate of the area is haracterized by hot and dry summer season, short monsoon and cold winter season. April, May nd June are the three hot and dry summer months with temperature increasing to its culminati in June. The average temperature during the month of June varies between 33°C and 35°C. T e monsoon arrives in this region during the last week of June or first I week of July. The normal mean annual rainfall of the area varies from 300 mm tolO00 mm. During monsoon the regi n receives 70% of its total rains. From November, the cold winter season sets in and it lasts p to middle of March. January is the coldest month of this area with both day and night cold. ound frost is very common. The mean winter temperature of the area during January varies bet yen I1°C and 13°C (Source: Geography of Punjab, by Darshan Singh Manku, 2002).

There are three major clim tic region of Punjab. They are

* * Arid and Semi arid & ot Region * Semi Arid and Less H t Region * Sub Humid to Humid nd Less Hot Region.

3.1.4 Soil

Punjab has five land fo regions, three major river systems, three climatic regions with varied temperature and moistur regimes and types of vegetations. The land of Punjab is primarily I formed of alluvium depo ted by rivers of Indus system. The interplay of all these factors of the environment, spreading o er time resulted the formation of various types of soils of Punjab. On the basis of texture, clim e, topography and denudational process, the soils of Punjab have been classifies into eight maj r types, these are (Source: Geography of Punjab, by Darshan Singh Manku, 2002):

3.1.5 Geology & Hydrogeologj'

Geolog'

The state is covered by the Quaternary alluvial deposits of Indo-Gangetic plain. The Quaternary cover is represented by allu kial fill along the foredeep on northem and southern sides respectively of the Delhi-Sargodha Ridg

There are number of fault! ineaments present in the area Xwhich are transverse to the Himalayan trend. The Ropar Fault, oc irring north-west of Chandigarh, lies in the NE-SW direction and it is the continuation of the Su dernagar Fault. A fault with similar trend and sense of movement I present in the south-eastern part of Chandigarh. All these faults exhibit neotectonic activity. In the South of Chandigarh anoth r fault system of same trend exists which is known as Mehendragarh- Dehradun. All these fault systems are responsible for the earthquake activities in the Himalayan terrain.

As per the Seismic Zonati n Map of India (IS:1893-2000), Indian sub-continent is divided into I four zones named II, III, I and V. The zonation map reveals that the area under investigation lies within the zones III and I . Thus the area lies within the moderate to high damage risk zone with reference to the MSK scal used for all engineering design purposes.

Hydrogeolog-v

I The huge alluvium deposi $ of the area contain the main water source of the area. Ground waters are mostly present in aqui ers with primary inter-granular porosity. The alluvial plain is drained by the rivers of Indus val4 y system and most of them change their course in time. The massive I beds of clay, sand and sil in the area forns the main aquifers system. Ground water generally present in unconfined st te. The ground water in this region are generally fit for human consumption, but the rece t study on ground water at various parts of the state shows presence of some toxic heavy metal and pesticides in it. This may due to some geological as well as anthropogenic activity in is area. (Source: NATMO, CGWB and Down to Earth, June 15, 2005)

Forests

The total forest land is a out 6.12% ( sq krn) of the total land area in Punjab, out of which only 0.09% is reserve forest, .28% is protected forests (including strips along roads, railways and . canals), and the rest 3.75C is unclassed & private forests. The reserve forests are mainly confined to northern hilly tracts of (upnagar district near Nangal. None of the study roads passes through reserve forests. (Source: tatistical Abstract of Punjab)

3.2 Definition of Project [nfl nce Area

For identification of imp ts of road improvement on the sensitive & nationally/ regionally important environmental atures like eco-sensitive areas (reserve forests, national parks, * sanctuaries, bio-sphere re rves, sacred groves, protected areas, wetlands, major rivers etc.), cultural heritage & archae logical sites, as well as for defining general environmental setup like topography, climate, air, ater & noise quality etc. the project influence area (or the study * corridor) has been define as the area falling within 7 km on either side of the project roads. However, for the roadsid features like roadside religious structures, educational institutions, medical amenities, water odies, roadside trees etc. on which impacts of road improvement are generally confined within ew meters of the ROW, the project influence area has been taken as 100 m on either side of th project road.

3.3 Environmental Aspects udied during Screening

Environmental screening f 1703 km of roads has been undertaken in order to determine which roads present no major e ironmental issues and which roads will require further environmental analysis including the ana ysis of altemative alignment if appropriate, to resolve such issues. The l environmental screening i ludes:

. Collection of inforrn tion on existing environmental scenario from secondary sources and l identification of data ,ps to be filled from primary surveys. * Primary surveys: bas line (air, water and noise) pollution monitoring at representative and sensitive locations. 3 * Identification of all macro-level environmental issues and all regionally or nationally trees, - recognized environ ental resources & features (like stretches of roadside environmental and c mmon property resources such as forests, large water bodies, heritage I complexes and major Fultural properties) within the project's influence area * Stakeholder assessm t and consultation with all communities likely to be affected, NGOs, selected Govt. agenc s and other stakeholders. * Identification of the alued Environmental Components (VECs) in the project influence area.

It is observed that at Gill the road is congested by roadside ribbon development of shops & houses over a length of ab ut 1.5 km. The distance of the toe of the structures from the edge of the carriageway varies be een I to 3 m. ROW is encroached & the clear available ROW is about 8-12m. Widening is not p sible in this stretch as it would affect a lot of commercial as well as residential structures. In c e the widening to 4-Lane is carried out it would involve resettlement & rehabilitation of PAPs. view of the magnitude of adverse social impacts it is recommended that option of bypass woul be more suitable than widening of the existing road.

Again in Pohir it is obser ed the road is congested by roadside ribbon development of shops & houses over a length of a out 200 m. Enquiry from local people & shop owners revealed that ROW is encroached and i's found the clear available ROW is about 10-14nm. Moreover, two sharp curves exist within spacing of 150 m. Widening is not desired in this stretch as it would have adverse impacts on commercial structures. In view of geometric constraints along with adverse social impacts it i recommended that option of bypass would be more suitable.

Though at Dehlon & Mal kotla, there are lot of roadside structures on both sides of the road, it is I found that sufficient space is available for widening into 4-Lane with narrow median.

* Corridor: Attari- Chtabal- Tarn Tarani- Fatheabad- Kapurthala (90.38 kmi)

* The existing road is f Intermediate Lane configuration from Attari to Chabbal (27 km) and of 2-Lane configurati n without paved shoulder from Chabbal to Kapurthala (65.84 km).

Irrrespective of the score sho n above, there are some environmental hot spots in some of the roads which are described be w.

Corridor:Kharar- Landran- anur- Tepla

* The Banur-Tepla road I k gets flooded and frequent erosion of the embankment has been observed. Special care s ould be given in the design to combat the flooding nuisance. There has been incidence of o ection by private land owners in accepting the culverts/ other cross- drainage structures in f¶ nt of their land. Therefore, suitable innovative engineering design I should be adopted.

Corridor:Chandigarh- Lanz ran- Chunni- Sir-hind

* Famous Jyotiswarup G rdwara at Sirhind exists on LHS at about 15 distance from the road centreline. The road is a ready 4-Lane in that location. As no more widening is required it will not be affected.

Corridor:Phillaur- Aur- R hon

on * Just after Phillauar oven a stretch of 800 m (between ch. 0.5 km to 1.3 km) there are forests both sides of the road, ]HS belongs to forest Dept. and the RHS belongs to PUDA. They are I basically Eucalyptus & Babul forests with maize cultivation in patches inside the forests. The distance of the barbed ire fencing of the forests from the edge of the carriage way is 5 m. Therefore, upgradation from Intermediate Lane to 2-Lane, no acquisition of forest land is required.

Corridor:Ludhiana- Dehl n- Ahmedgarh (Pohir)- Malerkotla- Dhuri- Sangrur

Wider ing is not possible in this stretch as it would affect a lot of commercial as well as residential s ructures. In case the widening to 4-Lane is carried out it would involve resettlement & rehabil tation of PAPs. In view of the magnitude of adverse social impacts it is recommended that o ion of bypass would be more suitable than widening of the existing road.

* Again in Pohir it is o served the road is congested by roadside ribbon development of shops & houses over a leng h of about 200 m. Enquiry from local people & shop owners revealed that ROW is encroac ed and it is found the clear available ROW is about 10-14m. Moreover, two sharp curves exis within a spacing of 150 m.

4.0 STAKELHOLDER ASSESS MENT & CONSULTATION

Stakeholder consultation is one of the integral issues of the road project. Stakeholder consultation is a two way process which involves the interaction of various stakeholders and the project proponent. It is highly desi able for all key stakeholders to arrive at a consensus on sensitive features, impacts and remedi al actions. It is useful for gathering:

* Baseline environmental lata/information, * Understanding likely po ential impacts, * Understanding the pers p ctives/concerns & preferences of stakeholders, * Selecting project alterna ives, and * Designing mitigation & nhance measures and compensation plans.

Consultation with the conce ned stakeholders requires information dissemination and information I solicitation. In course of pu lic consultation infomation regarding proposed road projects quickly reaches the public. Also tl e local community, residents and interest groups provide valuable inputs into the Environme Ital Assessment (EA). Such stakeholder participation during initial screening of a project serve to start the Environmental Assessment on a constructive footing with the public.

I To address the issues in the roject, systematic stakeholder assessment has been carried out as per the World Bank policy. Fo screening purpose, a representative set of consultations were carried out. However, public consl Itation at each selected corridor would be carried out as part of EA during DPR preparation.

4.1 Identification of Stakehol er

Stakeholder identification 8 as done by examining the potential impacts of the project in terms of:

- * Who may be affected d rectly (project affected people); * Which agencies might Iave responsibility for the impact management; |- * Which other organizat ns might have an interest in monitoring proponent activities or have . local knowledge to con ribute; and * Which private/ non-go emment sector entities might face financial and social hardships if the predicted impacts occuI

After a systematic analys s the following major groups of stakeholders have been identified related to this project:

* Local people that inclu e local residents, shopkeepers, farmers & businessmen * Local bodies like Villa e Panchayats, Municipalities, Gurdwara Committees etc. * Selected govt. agenciej e.g. l - Public Work Depart ent (PWD) - State Forest Departml nt - State Irrigation Depa tment - State Agricultural Dq artment

4.4 Stakeholder Consultation ~on ducted

Stakeholders consultation h s been conducted in various stretches of the road in rural and urban areas. The issues were 4 scussed with the local community which included the farmers, shopkeepers, traders, loca residents and project affected persons. Concerned governmental departments were also con ulted regarding the area of impact due to the project. Photographs of stakeholders consultation h .e also been shot (refer .Ainw.t-I).

6.1.2 Scoping from the View Poit t of the Govt. of India Environmental Rules

As per the provisions of th EIA Notification, 27h January 1994 as amended upto 7h July 2004, is required |, under the Environment (Pro ection) Act, 1986, it is clear that Environmental clearance for highway projects exce t projects relating to improvement work including widening and strengthening of roads wit marginal land acquisition (means land acquisition not exceeding a total width of 20 meters on either side of the existing alignment put together) along the existing parks, I,,alignments provided it does not pass through ecologically sensitive areas such as national sanctuaries, tiger reserves, eserve forest. Environmental clearance is not required for highway crores projects if the investment i less than Rs. 100 crores for new projects and less than Rs. 50 for expansion/ modemisati n projects provided it does not pass through ecologically sensitive areas. Bypasses would be treated as stand-alone projects and would require environmental rn| clearance only if the cost f the project exceeds Rs. 100 crores each and/or it passes through

I INTERIM REPORT, PART C: ENVIRO MENTAL SCREENING REPORT I l-l Project: Consultancy Services for Feasibilit|, Environmental and Social Studies for PSRSP Sheet: 4 of 14 Document: 2005086/EC/Chapter-6 Date: January 2006 Scoping for Project Environmental Assessm nt (EA) Revision: RO

ecologically sensitive areas. Environmental clearance is required for tarred roads (new or expansion) in the Himalayas nd/or Forest areas irrespective of the investment. Public Hearing is not required in respect of wi ening and strengthening of highways, and it shall be conducted in each district through which th highway passes through.

In the present case, the road improvement works (i.e. rehabilitation or upgradation) of existing roads has the following issu s that require consideration from the view point of environmental clearance:

1. There is no land acquisi ion for roads to be rehabilitated. There is no land acquisition for roads to be upgraded fro 1single lane to intermediate lane or upgraded from intermediate lane I to 2-Lane. 2. There will be marginal 1 nd acquisition (not more than 20 m) for roads to be upgraded from 2-Lane to 4-Lane. 1 3.The cost of the new sma I bypasses (maximum 5 km) (each bypass will be treated as a stand alone project) will be les than Rs. 100 crores. 4. The existing roads do no pass through any ecologically sensitive areas such as national parks, sanctuaries, tiger reserve , reserve forest.

Therefore, the road improv ment works will not require Environmental Clearance from the MoEF, Govt. of India as:

(a) land acquisition is ni in most cases or less than 20 m at few cases (b) it does not passes thr ugh any ecologically sensitive areas, and (c) cost of the new smal bypasses will be less than Rs. 100 crores l As no Environmental Cleara ce is required, no Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report is required. Also, No Public H aring is required as it involves only rehabilitation or upgradation of * existing road.

6.1.3 Scopingfrom the View Poi t of the Forest Rules

In the present case, the exist ng roads neither passes through nor outskirts any reserve forest land, and therefore, its upgrada ion will not involve diversion of reserve forest land for road construction. However, the ovt. of Punjab in 1958 has declared strips of Govt. lands whether _. under tree growth or not on either side of all roads, canals and railways in the State of Punjab as protected forests. All P.W. (Building and Roads) Road side strips and also other P.W.D lands in 5 Punjab State have been tran ferred to the Forest Department for management.

Therefore, forest clearance is required from the State Forest Department prior to felling of roadside trees for widening upgradation of roads.

6.2 Scoping Matrix

Findings of Environmental Screening

* There is no environme ital constraint that critically affect the rehabilitation & upgradation of l the roads.

* Though for upgradati n roadside trees on one side and on both sides have to be felled depending on the scal of widening, the impact is not critical as the trees have only timber value and of no cultu al importance, and the felling of such trees will be compensated by replantation.

* None of the roads is p ssing through eco-sensitive areas like reserve forests and sanctuaries. Though there are sorr e wildlife sanctuaries in the state they are far away (min 3 km and I maximum 45 km) from the project roads and therefore will not be affected by the road improvement program ne. l * The roadside schools hospitals & temples are mostly outside the ROW and will not be affected for rehabilitat on or upgradation without land acquisition. They will be affected only in case of upgradation like 4-Laning where additional land acquisition is required.

Scope of Further EA

1 * For rehabilitation no widening & land acquisition is required. Therefore, for rehabilitation none of the roadside s hools, hospitals, temples and ponds will be affected and no tree has to be felled. Practically t ere will be no environmental impact, and therefore, no EA is required. Only an environmenta impact & mitigation checklist and a Generic EMP is required.

* For upgradation to 4- ane additional land acquisition is required and therefore some of the roadside schools, ho pitals, temples, ponds & handpumps will be affected at the side of widening and roadsid trees at both sides have to be felled. In other upgradation cases like Widening from Interi lediate Lane to 2-Lane or Widening from Single Lane to Intermediate Lane, no additional l nd acquisition is required, and therefore, none of the roadside schools, hospitals, temples and ponds will be affected. However, roadside trees which are within 3.5 from the edge of the 4 arriageway have to be felled. Therefore, in case of upgradation full EA & EMP is required.

Scope of Work for Proje t Environmental Assessment (EA)

1. Baseline Surveys: The onsultants will {a} collect information from secondary sources that are relevant to understandin the baseline, as well as the design of mitigation and enhancement measures, as pertaining t physical, biological and socio-cultural environments; {b} carry out site visits and investigations f all the environmentally sensitive locations (based on the inventory of valued eco-system comp nents) and document them on the base maps to identify conflict points with preliminary design including verification of these from authentic sources of information, such as from the revenu and forest records); and {c} prepare detailed specific maps showing details of candidate sites or environmental enhancements.

All surveys shall be carri d out in compliance with the Gol standards/guidelines/norms. Wherever such guidelines/norms e not available, the techniques, tools and sample employed for the surveys shall conform to the international practices. Whenever directly relevant secondary data is 3 available, these should b used, while indirectly relevant data should be verified through primary survey. Environmental q ality (air, water and noise) monitoring shall include an adequate number of samples, as establish on a sampling network to provide a representative picture of pollution 3 levels along all the link (in addition to the sample collected during environmental screening). Additional data for sensi ive environmental/ecological receptors, if any, shall be collected such as to analyze and predict t e possible impacts to a degree and precision of acceptable professional I standards. Further, addi onal specialized surveys, such as biodiversity assessment surveys, and hydrological surveys sh I be conducted, if and when recommended by environmental scooping described earlier. I The consultants shall al p collect information on the various prevailing environmental and forest laws/regulations so as t carry out the project EA in conformity to these. l 2. Stakeholder Consulta ion: The consultants shall undertake community consultation sessions at the state, district, villa and roadside community levels as per the consultation plan prepared during the environmen I screening stage. Consultations should be carried out with all relevant *I. . stakeholders identified ough stakeholder analysis. The objective of the consultation sessions shall be tdC improve the roject's interventions with regard to environmental management. Two rounds of consultations hall be carried out- the first to seek views from the stakeholders on the environmental issues a the ways these could be resolved, and the second to provide feed back to the stakeholders tha their views have been taken care in the project. Further, the residual feedbacks received sh I be analyzed, and the consultants shall determine how these can be addressed in the final MP and in the project designs. The consultation programme shall be coordinated with the so al and the engineering teams.

I 3. Environmental Anal sis of Alternatives: As the overall alignments are final at this stage, the environmental analysi of alternatives shall focus on bypasses (including alignment), cross- sections, materials and ources of materials from an environment management perspective. This analysis shall also c er comparisons in relation to sitting, design, technology selection, construction technique and phasing, and operating and maintenance procedures.

* 4. Impact Prediction & anagement: The consultants shall determine the potential impacts due to the projects through i ntification, analysis and evaluation on sensitive areas (natural habitats; sites of historic, cultur and conservation importance), urban settlements and villages/agricultural areas or any other ide ified VEC. These will be identified as significant positive and negative

* impacts, direct and indirect impacts, immediate and long-term impacts, and unavoidable or irreversible impacts.

* For each impact predicted a above, feasible and cost effective mitigation measures shall be identified to reduce potentiall significant adverse environmental impacts to acceptable levels. U In line with the reconmendat pns of the Environmental Screening, for common road construction operations, the Consultant all develop standardized management measures and/or codes of practice and explore the poss ility of integrating the same into the PWD operations manual. The consultants shall explore d recommend different environmental site-specific mitigation measures like compensatory fforestation and noise barriers, as well as enhancements including 3 roadside landscaping, separ ion of non-motorized lanes in an aesthetically appealing manner, provision of pilgrimage path ays, development of cultural properties or improving access along the corridor. The capital an recurrent costs of the measures, and institutional, training, and I monitoring requirements to ffectively implement these measures shall be determined. At this stage, it would be important identify the need for further environmental studies for issues that cannot be dealt with during t e project preparation stage, but should be undertaken during project I implementation.

Flooding and drainage issue which are critical for a number of project roads shall be taken care of in the project design. Prot tion and enhancement of roadside ponds shall be taken into account in the project design. As Ia e number schools, hospitals, temples, market and other common properties exist along the p ect roads, the pedestrian safety issues has to be dealt with special * attention while designing e project. Encroachment of such common properties has to be minimized. As roadside tree re protected forests, forest clearance for felling of roadside trees is to be obtained prior to con uction, and adequate well designed roadside plantation has to be carried out to compensate th trees loss.

5. Institutional Arrangemen to Manage Environment Impacts Effectively: The consultants shall * identify institutional/organi tional needs to implement the recommendations of the project EA and to propose steps to s ngthen or expand, if required. This may extend to new agency functions, inter-sectoral arr gements, management procedures and training, staffing, operation and maintenance, training a budgeting.

6. Other Assistance to the ient: The consultants shall support the client to furnish any relevant information required for ob ining clearance from various state and central govemment agencies. This may include {a} assis ng the client in the submission of application for the Clearance of Reserved or Protected For ts to the Punjab Forest Department; tb} completion of forms and submission of the same for btaining Non-objection Certificates (NOC) under the Water and Air Acts from the Punjab State ollution Control Board, {c} completion and submission of the MoEF questionnaire for the Envir nmental Appraisal for the project; {d} assistance in presentation to

K.I the Wildlife Board of the oEF in obtaining clearance for any section or links passing through the Wildlife Reserves or Sa tuaries or other protected areas, if any; {e } assistance in submission for any other clearance requ ements with respect to the environmental components relevant to the project. r

Discuission on A'fonitorinlg R suits:

From the summarized imoni oring results presented above, it is clear that, the 24-hourly average of 3 SO, and NOx levels were o served to be within the limitI of 80 sg/m at all locations as stipulated I in the National Ambient Ai Quality Standards. However, the SPM & RPM levels were observed 3 3 to be above their correspo ling limits of 200 jIg/m and 100 [ig/m in most of the areas. This is mainly because of the dust lown by wind & traffic moveement from the roadside unpaved areas.

Amnbient Noise Monitoring: 3 Ambient noise level monit ring was carried out at 69 representative locations during the month of November 2005 using a po able noise level meter. The monitoring locations were selected near:
