1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Overall Project Description

1. The State of Jammu and Kashmir lies in the northernmost part of the country and shares

international border with Pakistan and China. This physiographic situation attaches

strategic importance to the region as well as the infrastructural development in the state.

The state has three main geographical regions namely Jammu, Kashmir valley and

highlands of Ladakh. As per details from Census 2011, Jammu and Kashmir has

population of 1.25 Crores, an increase from figure of 1.01 Crore in 2001 census. The

population forms 1.04% of India in 2011, compared to 0.99% in 2001. As per census

2011, the Sex Ratio of female is 889 per 1000 male, which is below national average of

940. While, in 2001 the sex ratio of female was 900 per 1000 males. The literacy rate has

seen an upward trend at 67.16% as per 2011 census as compared to the national literacy

rate of 64.80%, while in 2001 literacy rate stood at 55.52%.

2. Jammu and Srinagar are the two major cities where majority of urban population is

concentrated while other smaller towns share the rest. Urban infrastructure in these

places for long has been neglected and hence, is subject to severe urban infrastructure

problems. Although, at least, majority of population in Jammu and Srinagar cities have

been provided with piped water supplies, the other urban amenities remain neglected.

This is mainly due to meager investments made in the urban infrastructure either by

private or by public sector.

3. The Government of Jammu and Kashmir (GoJK), apart from the ADB financed Multi-

Sector Project for Infrastructure Rehabilitation (MPIR) in Jammu and Kashmir, again

approached ADB for assistance in urban sector development for more development

works and studies so as to implement comprehensively the urban sector reforms. The

GoJK through Jammu and Kashmir Economic Reconstruction Agency has conceived the

Jammu and Kashmir Urban Sector Development Investment Program (JKUSDIP) in its

effort to boost economic growth in Jammu and Kashmir State. The primary objective of

JKUSDIP is to promote economic development in Jammu and Kashmir State through

expansion of basic services such as water supply, sewerage, sanitation, drainage, solid

waste management, urban transport and other municipal functions in Jammu, Srinagar

and other important urban centers of the State. JKUSDIP will also strengthen the service

delivery capacity of the responsible state urban agencies and urban local bodies through

management reforms, capacity building and training.

1.2 Project Objectives

4. The proposed JKUSDIP will foster the economic growth in Jammu and Kashmir State.

The long term Project objectives are to contribute to the economic development of

Jammu and Kashmir through enhanced and sustainable growth in the main urban areas

with emphasis on promoting commerce and on improvement of livelihood for the poor.

5. The urban sector sub-projects are aimed at expansion of basic services such as water

supply, sanitation, waste management, urban transport and other municipal functions in

Jammu and Srinagar cities and other urban centers in order to cater to the demands and


2

requirements of the increasing population. The overall program envisages the following

broad benefits:

i. Improved water supply system

ii. Improved sewerage/drainage systems

iii. Improved solid waste management

iv. Improved road and traffic (urban transport) conditions

v. Other municipal facilities

6. Besides the above mentioned outputs, the economic opportunity development plans

planned for five cities/towns (Kathua, Udhampur, Anantnag, Baramulla and Kargil) will

provide road map for future urban development in these towns. The investment program

will strengthen the service delivery capacity of the responsible state urban agencies and

urban local bodies (ULBs) through management reforms, capacity building and training

1.3 Environmental Category

7. The Project 1 under JKUSDIP was categorized as Environmental Category B, according to

ADB’s Environment Policy (2002). However, so far only one sub-project i.e., Procurement

of works at Sanitary landfill site Achan, Srinagar has been categorized as “B-sensitive”. All other subprojects under execution in Srinagar and Jammu have been categorized as

Category B.

1.4 Environmental Performance Indicators, if any

8. For effective monitoring, selected environmental parameters have been identified as

indicators which may be qualitatively and quantitatively measured and compared over a

period of time in order to assess/ensure the compliance to environmental management

plans (EMPs). The environmental performance indicators selected are physical, biological

and social characteristics identified as most important in affecting the environment at

critical locations all along the sub-project corridors. The parameters identified as

performance indicators are:

i. Compliance with environmental management and monitoring plans.

ii. Compliance to state/national environmental regulations.

iii. Monitoring of ambient air quality, water quality and noise levels and comparison with

baseline environmental quality and state/national standards.

iv. Biological parameters like survival success rate of plants and bio-indicators (like

frogs etc. as good indicator of environment) in case of Achan Landfill Site

1.5 Overall project progress, agreed milestones and implementation schedules

1.6 Any other information useful for assessing environmental performance of the project.

11. All the necessary information useful for assessing performance of the project like EMP implementation status, Monthly reports,Environmental monitoring- Air, Water and Noise quality analysis have been furnished in this report. Public consultation and grievance redressal:

12. Public consultation has evolved as a useful tool in addressing the issues and rectification of the same wherever possible.The public consultation is the ongoing and continuous process, which is conducted on regular basis in Jammu and Srinagar subprojects under execution, with local residents to ensure that they are fully engaged in the project and have the opportunity to participate in its implementation. Formal consultations as well as adhoc regular discussions with the local residents both form part of the public

consultation process. Attendance sheet of the participants attached as appendix 1.

13. Communication with the local residents is always open and views of the residents are taken into consideration during planning of the work programs under JKUSDIP so that the people suffer least disturbance and inconvenience as the work is executed.

14. Various issues were discussed during formal consultation which includes:-

a) Removal of surplus and waste material b) Restoration of damaged water supply connection c) Restoration of roads and lanes d) Inconvenience with regard to access disruption e) Dust and noise problems faced during execution of work f) Use of proper barricading to ensure the safety of public and workers.

15. Mitigation measures discussed during formal consultation includes:


4

i. Dust Issues: By proper dust suppression measures andassessment of noise/air monitoring and application of mitigation measures. Frequent water sprinkling and removal of left over soil arising due to the excavation/ different construction activities.

ii. Clearing passageways and roads of surplus waste material on priority iii. Speedy restoration of all the utilities iv. Simultaneous road restorations after execution of work v. Provision of alternate access routes till restoration is achieved vi. Barricading of the site under construction to ensure safety of pedestrians etc.

16. Refer section 6.4 under Air, Noise and Water Quality data, which shows airquality evaluation of primary/ gaseous pollutants throughout the environmental monitoringperiod shows values well within the permissible limits at all sampling locations. Similarly, RSPM (particulate matter PM10 and 2.5) values were also on lower side and in-line with the baseline monitoring in most cases and permissible standards. The Water quality results shows in-line with standards and baseline monitoring data largely which shows the effective implementation of various mitigation measures as per Environmental Management Plan (EMP) of each subprojects under execution.

Special Sewers (WW-5) are under progress. The balance work of WW-01 & WW-02

alreadyallocated in Tranche-3 under single package of WW-07.

22. Allcontracting firmshave nominated and mobilized Environmental Safety Officers for ensuring

EMP implementation at each site and reporting thereof for the subprojects under execution.

Monthly environmental reports are being submitted at the end of each month by the respective

Contractors.

23. Site visit/ inspections are being carried out on regular basis to assess the EMP implementation of

thesubprojects under execution.

24. The safeguards staff conducts frequent site visits to monitor the implementation of safeguard

measures on sites and report to concerned official about issues/problems related to

environmental non-compliance. Necessary directions in the form of corrective action measures, in

case of non-compliances, are being issued to the contractors on the site and through letters

about the procedures to resolve problems/issues or requirements.

25. Apart from this, regular meetings on environmental issues are being taken by CEO, J&K ERA

and Director Safeguards, J&K ERA with consultants and environmental staff of ERA.

6. MONITORING OF ENVIRONMENTAL RECEPTORS/ ATTRIBUTES

6.1 Monitoring basis:

26. Ambient air quality, water quality and noise levels are being monitored to check if any adverse

impact is being caused by the construction activities. The monitoring of these variables is to be

carried out in construction areas at sensitive locations within 100m impact zone of the subproject.

The monitoring of environmental variables is being carried out as per the agreed Environmental

Monitoring Plan (EMP).

6.2 Type of environmental receptor/attribute to be monitored (for each type):

27. The environmental attributes monitored include the air, noise and water quality parameters at the

construction sites in sub-project corridors. The air quality parameters monitored include RSPM

(PM10) and (PM2.5), SO2 and NO2.The water quality parameters include temperature, pH,


12

Electrical Conductivity (EC), Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD5), Total

Suspended Solids (TSS), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Turbidity, Total Alkalinity, Total

33. Ambient air quality monitoring was conducted at designated site locations atAchan Landfill Site over

the period of six months and covers both Cell-2 and Cell-3 above attributes. During Q2 monitoring at

site S-A2, particulate matter (PM10) values were recorded at 186µg/m3 and 140.3µg/m3which is higher

than applicable standards and baseline characteristics. Main reason for higher values was attributed to

frequent movement of dumping vehicles of SMC and ongoing construction of SMC segregation units

of SMC near Cell-3. At all sites, particulate matter (PM10) results were within the permissible limits and

baseline characteristics.

34. The monitoring results of PM2.5 were within the permissible limits at site S-A2 and S-A3. Similarly, the

primary pollutants SO2 and NO2at all sampling siteswere well within the permissible limits as specified

in NAAQStandards and in line with baseline characteristics.Comparative analysis is illustrated in

Figure1 and 2.

8 Air Quality monitoring at Sanitary Landfill Site, Achan covers Cell-2 as well as Cell-3. Construction of Cell-3 is in process

and monitoring is applicable for the new cell. 9 Baseline monitoring of Air quality was carried in the month of March 2012 for Cell-2 (SLF site at Achan) and rains usually

remain common phenomenon hencethe values are on lower side for the evaluation or comparative analysis with present

monitoring.

52. Monthly samples of raw leachate were collected from the leachate collection points of Cell-2 along

with leachate sludge samples of LTP’s from sludge pond at landfill site Achan. The colour of the raw

leachate usually remained blackish brown as a characteristic feature with pungent odour throughout

this sampling period. The parameters remained higher side as a distinctive feature of raw leachate

which indicates progressive and activeacidogenic phase in Cell-2. Leachate sludge sample shows

exceedingly higher values with an average 20% to 70% higher concentration than the raw fresh

leachate.

were colorless and odourless as recorded in the previous samples. Normally Dissolved Oxygen of the

effluent sample is found on lower side mainly attributed to theleast atmospheric interaction in LTP

process. Higher DO can be achieved through physical means like cascading effect (by way of non-

streamline flow through drainage channel) from LTP to disposal point at Achan Stream. However, DO

of treated leachate is naturally raised on disposal into receiving water body of Achan Stream and DO

is raised on mixing. (since stream is a large water body and dilution factor will take place on

mixing).pH, Temperature and Turbidity were at recorded within optimum levels. Leachate effluent is

discharged in the Achan Stream (inland surface water) and the temperature difference isonly average

2-4°C against ≤5°C.

56. In reference to previous reports, same observations were recorded during this period forElectrical

Conductivity, BOD, TSS, TDS and Alkalinitywhich have been observed on higher side as recorded in

the previous reporting period.This is mainly attributed to the presence of high organic load of raw

leachate, incomplete bio-degradation process due to the non-segregated waste brought to Cell-

2andhuge unexpected load on LTP’s directly. Huge influx of high concentrated base parameters as

evident (refer Table 10and Fig 10 and 11 for comparative analysis) may not cater by the LTP’s in a longer run as reported in the previous reports. The average efficiency of LTP’s till date is only 20% (average). Inefficiency of LTP’s is directly correlated to lack of primary and secondary treatment. In

view of this, corrective measures are instructed by way of regular and proper O&M of LTP’s and change in membrane filters and servicing of LTP’s. More importantly, to increase the efficiency of

LTP’s primary and secondary treatment process is recommended to treat leachate (in terms of daily leachate generation) for Cell-3 including higher back-log leachate in Cell-3.

57. The present characteristics of higher values of Cell-2 shows active extended acidogenic phase. Phase extension is mainly attributed to 100% non-segregated waste received from SMC. This is an indication of active disintegration or degradation process of lower strata under complete anaerobic state and will be continuous process and resulting into high load on LTP’s. The non-segregated waste shows incomplete degradation process happening in Cell-2 resulting into deterioration of RO based LTP’s. This has resulted into continuous inflow of rich leachate to LTP’s.

58. Comparative analysis of treated leachate characteristics is illustrated in Figures-8is providedbelow;

60. Monthly ground water samples were collected from the tube well at a depth of 62 meters which is motor driven and is located within the premises of the Sanitary Landfill at Achan near the site office. The ground water was found odourless and cloudy (turbid).Ground water analysis shows more or less similar physio-chemical characteristics as recorded in previous reports.

61. At this depth DO was anoxic and with low DO at 0.4 mg/lobserved due to the depth factor and least atmospheric interactions as direct impinging of oxygen is resisted due to deep underground condition. pH of the ground water meets the water quality criteria. The ground water study revealed high conductivity and may be due to the presence of wide variety of dissolved inorganic constituents, resulting from chemical and biochemical interactions between water and other geological constituents. High Turbidity of the water is mainly attributed to suction action of the submersible motor which is correlated to depth factor which leads to turbidity factor and may be due to the high values. The value of conductivity and Turbidity were higher than Water Quality standards. Values of BOD recorded on higher side than the permissible limits but in-line with baseline characteristics. Based on above results, this tube well (ground water) cannot be used as drinking water source but can be used for watering of plants and green turf in buffer zone. Comparative analysis of ground water characteristics is illustrated in Figure-9below

63. Water samples were collected from this waterbody near the Achan landfill sitewhich usually have variable discharge. The Water was colourless with fishy odour. This stream is surrounded by human habitations and agricultural fields.

64. The flow regime of stream water usually remain low and its surface was found with macrophytes like Phragmites, Typha, Scirpus, Lemna, sp. with detritus activity which is the indicator of stagnant nature and high eutrophic load of water body.

65. Achan streamshows DO level at an average 5.5 mg/l with a minimum of 3.9 mg/l and 7.2 mg/l maximum throughout the reporting period. In most of the monitoring reports, month of March shows low values of DO andmainly due to the above characteristics of the water body but better than baseline monitoring in 2012. TheBOD of the stream due to the least winter flow and stagnant nature and higher values due to the presence of high organic load produced by the dumping of domestic and agricultural wastes by the locals. Conductivity and TDS are found well within the permissible limits. Total Suspended Solids of the stream was found on higher side and may be due to the presence of detritus and litter. The physio-chemical characteristics of Achan Stream/ Nallah show rest of the parameters in line with permissible standards and all the above parameters were within the baseline characteristics

66. In reference to previous reports and the above discussion, it is concluded that no impact is seen on the waterbody in relation to treated discharge from RO based LTP effluent. Comparative analysis of Achan Stream characteristics is illustrated in Figures- 10

Water sampling was done on clear and sunny weather conditions. The water quality of the inlet raw sewage was visually found to be polluted and the colour of water was very dark black with pungent odour due to the untreated raw water and the presence of high total suspended solids. But on the other hand in

the outlet, the water quality was visually fine and the colour of water was clear. The results of water samples collected from inlet revealed higher values of TSS, Turbidity, BOD5 and lower value of DO than the permissible limits. The variation of the parameter of TSS, Turbidity & BOD5 on higher side and DO value towards lower side can be attributed to the presence of high concentration of biodegradable organic substances and suspended solids from sewage coming out of households. In contrast to the inlet the treated discharged water depicts the values which are within the permissible limits except turbidity which was above the permissible limits. The total dissolved solid is related to aesthetic value of water as it is not the indicator of pollution therefore the TDS of treated effluent from STP can be ignored. The total suspended solids which are degraded anaerobically releases abnoxiousodour and restricts the light penetration thus reducing the growth of oxygen producing plants in the river/stream and it directly affects the turbidity.
