Many of these dams are in urgent need of strengthening and rehabilitation to ensure their safety and to improve their performance. With this in view, Dam Safety Assurance and Rehabilitation Project (DSARP) was undertaken by the Central Water Commission (CWC) with the World Bank (WB) assistance in 1991. There were four participating States, namely, Orissa, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. The objectives of DSARP were to: a) Strengthen the institutional framework for Dam Safety Assurance b) Provide basic safety facilities and take up remedial works for upgradation of selected dams. The project ended in 1999, but in view of the benefits obtained, it was decided to extend the dam safety activities to other States having significant number of major dams. DSARP Phase-II was thus conceived which included the States of Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Gujarat, Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh. The DSARP Phase-II was later revised and updated as Dam Rehabilitation and Improvement Project (DRIP). The project development objective is to improve the safety and operational performance of selected existing dams. The proposed project deals with rehabilitation and modernization of existing dams. The purpose of the works is to prevent that the dams will operate under unsafe conditions due to prevailing safety issues. The project is now expected to be implemented in the following five states: Chhattisgarh, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, and Tamil Nadu A good number of dams, referred to as sub-projects, have been identified by the States for rehabilitation and upgradation under the DRIP. While reviewing the rehabilitation activities to be undertaken in each of the sub-projects, it was observed that a number of them could have potential environmental / social impacts which need to be taken care of Final Report Environment & Ecology Project: ESA Study under DRIP to develop Environment & Social Management Framework Page 7 of 227 Document: 2007069 / EC/ Date: July 2009 Revision: R2 during implementation of such activities. Hence, CWC, in consultation with the World Bank, decided to undertake environmental and social assessment of the sub-projects under consideration, in accordance with the relevant national and World Bank policies / guidelines. Since majority of the activities were found to be common among the sub-projects, it was further decided to undertake environmental and social assessment of the activities in ten representative sub-projects to identify the potential impacts and their mitigation measures and, based on this exercise, to develop an environmental and social management framework (ESMF). The framework will indicate the impacts of each activity, the required mitigation measures and the responsible entities for implementation, supervision and monitoring of the mitigation measures. It will also categorize the impacts in terms of low, medium and high. The ESMF will then be used by the concerned officials for screening of the sub-projects and for implementation, supervision and monitoring of the mitigation measures at appropriate levels. The ten representative sub-projects were selected from the States of Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and West Bengal. Environmental and social assessment of these sub-projects was carried out and an ESMF was developed, in accordance with the scope of the study.
