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.
