5. 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. 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.

6. The subproject is unlikely to cause significant adverse impacts because: (i) the components will involve straightforward construction and operation, so impacts will be mainly localized; (ii) 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; and (iii) being located mainly in an existing built-up area, will not cause direct impact on terrestrial biodiversity values. Potential negative impacts mainly arise from disturbance of residents, businesses, increase in traffic, increase in noise level and dusts,

11

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 of these impacts to acceptable levels.

7. 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.

8. This IEE aims to (i) provide critical facts, significant finding, 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 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.

9. Description of Environment: Proposed subproject component area under the Betul Bazar, Amla and Sarni in Betul District. For Betul -Bazar, water supplied in subproject area will be taken by the trapping raw water feeder mains for Betul City. Betul Bazar is also situated around 10 km from Satpura forest reservoir, so there will not be any negative impact on forest reservoir due to construction in Betul Bazar. For Betul Bazar, water supplied in subproject area will be taken by the trapping raw water feeder mains for Betul City from Tapti River. Water sustainability of Tapti River was analyzed for supplying water to Betul Bazar. Tapti River is found sustainable to supply the water in Betul in terms of quality as well as quantity. All the proposed structure like WTP and OHT will be constructed on Revenue land that is vacant and no any ecological and environmental feature is present on that siteany of the project components will not fall under the boundary.The proposed intake structure for Sarni is situated in Satpura reservoir. The sarni town is surrounded and enter locked by Satpura forest reservoir. But none of any proposed structure under Sarni WSS is coming under forest and restricted area.Construction o f W T P islocatedonMunicipalownedbarrenlandwithnonotabletreecover.Project activitiesare confined toidentifiedsites,anddo notencroachintoforests.In Amla Intake well is to be built in Bel river which is under the control of WRD GOMP and the WTP site is proposed on govt. land , there is no involvement of forest land and no tree cutting is required.The ground water availability in these areas comes under Safe Zone as per Central Ground Water Board (CGWB) report.

12

10. Potential environmental impacts. The subproject is unlikely to cause significant adverse impacts because: (i) relatively small scale as the population and water demand is minimal, (ii) the components will involve straightforward construction and operation, so impacts will be mainly localized; 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.

11. Environmental impacts as being due to the project design or location are not significant. The

proposed water supply schemes include design of new water sources nearest surface water bodies,that include construction of Weir (for Amla). Considering good water availability and very small demand, it is assessed to be unlikely to have any significant issue of source sustainability. Given that Weir is small structure with have limited & fixed height and submergence confined to river course with no direct water withdrawals, the impacts on downstream and ecosystem are likely to be insignificant. 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, conduct of construction works and presence of workers, vehicles may damage /disturb the sensitive areas. Necessary precautionary measures are suggested to avoid any impacts.

12. During construction, potential negative impacts mainly 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. Operation phase impacts are likely to be insignificant.

13. Environmental Management Plan. An environmental management plan (EMP) has been developed to provide mitigation measures to reduce all negative impacts to acceptable levels. Locations and sitting of the proposed infrastructures were considered to further reduce impacts. 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 town.

14. The EMP includes design measures such as (i) design of small Weir; (ii) wash water recovery for the WTP to reduce effluent to be discharged and safe sludge disposal (iii) energy efficient pumping equipment and (iv) quick leak detection and rectification to save the resources, etc. During construction, 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.

13

15. 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.

16. 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.

17. 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 town, 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.

18. Implementation Arrangements. Urban Development and Environment Department

(UDED) of Government of Madhya Pradesh will be the Executing Agency. Implementing Agency will be Madhya Pradesh Urban Development Company (MPUDC), A central Project Management Unit (PMU) attached to MPUDC will be responsible for implementing the MPUSIP. The PMU will be supported by Program Implementation Units (PIUs). Several teams of Design Consultants, and a Program Management Consultant (PMC) centrally located in PMU and with field teams, will support PMU & PIUs. Infrastructure will be designed, built, and operated (DBO) by contractor for 10 years, after which it will be transferred to the ULB. 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 Environment Specialist of PMC Team. Contractor personnel will include an Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) supervisor and an Archaeological Supervisor.

14

19. Monitoring and Reporting.The PMU and PMDC will be responsible for monitoring. The PMDC 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.

20. Conclusions and Recommendations.The proposed project 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 following government permission/approvals: (i) permission of WRD, GOMP for water abstraction from Bel River and construction of Anicut on Bel river for Amla townand for abstraction from Satpura Reservoir for Sarni town iii) permission /approvals of water Resources Department (WRD) ,GOMP for water abstraction from Satpura reservoir (iv)consent for construction of WTP in government land and establishment and consent for operation for WTP from Madhya Pradesh Pollution Control Board. These permissions/approvals shall be obtained prior to invitation of bids.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

6. 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. 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.

7. This IEE is based on the detailed engineering report prepared by the Designed Consultant team and will be finalized during implementation stage by DBO contractor to reflect any changes and latest subproject designs. The IEE was based mainly on field reconnaissance surveys and secondary sources of information. 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. Stakeholder consultation was an integral part of the IEE.

III. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT

A. PROJECT AREA

9. Subproject for improvement of water supply system in the four towns Betul-Bazar, Amlaand Sarni is proposed under Tranche 1, MPUSIP. Subproject towns are located in Betul district in around 100 km distance .Population of all the three towns as per 2011 census is; Betul-Bazar- 10631,Amla-30215and Sarni-86141.

10. Betul Bazar is twin city of Betul city. The district derives its name from this town of Betul

Bazar about 5 km South of Badnur, the headquarters of the district. During the Maratha

regime also, in the beginning of the British rule, Betul or Betul Bazar was the district

headquarters. In 1822 the district headquarters was shifted to Badnur, after which

the village came to be known as ‘Badnur Dhana’, meaning Badnur village in the local dialect. Now, even after such a long time, not only the district retains the old name,

but the name of the new Headquarters town, Badnur, has also been superimposed by

"BETUL". The total area of Betul Bazar is 5 Sq KM and population as per 2011 census is

10631.

11. Amla is a town which lies in southern part of Madhya Pradesh. The Municipal area is

being divided in 18 wards for civil administration. Amla geographically lies at 21.92°N

Latitude&78.13°ELongitude. It is situated 40 kms from District Headquarter Betul.The

total municipal area of the town is approximately6.38Sq.Kms and out of that 3.28 sq.km

comes under developed area and remaining area is under agriculture, water bodies and

unorganized open spaces of the city.

12. Sarni is located in an area that is known as a part of the Gondwana tract after the Gond

Tribe, who chiefly inhabited in this area and practice shifting cultivation. It is situated in

Betul district. The total area of the town 35.42 Sq Kms and population as per 2011

census is 86141.

B. EXISTING WATER SUPPLYSITUATIONS

1. BETUL BAZAR

13. Present water supply of the Betul-Bazar town is mostly depend on ground water i.e. on 8

tube wells (7 working), 36 numbers of hand pumps (28 working) and 3 open wells. Water

from the tube wells and open wells are pumped to two OHT’s of capacity 300 KL and 500 KL. Total 85 Hp (10 Hp on each tube well and 7.5 Hp on each open well) capacity

pumps are installed at 7 tube wells and 3 open wells. Both the OHT’s are filled only once

in a day. It takes approximately 12 hours to fill the 300 KL OHT and approximately 14 –

16 hours to fill 500 KL OHT. Then the water is distributed with the help of 7 km of

distribution system having ACP pipes from 100 to 300 mm diameter and GI pipes having

diameter 50 mm to 80 mm laid in the town. Thus the total water supplied to the Betul

Bazar town at present is 0.40MLD i.e. 38 LPCD.

2. AMLA

14. The maximum available water at present from groundwater sources is upto 1.00 MLD,

from which the average water supply is only 33 liters per capita per day in comparison to

70 lpcd.

15. The piped water supply scheme of Amla town was first introduced in 1983.Total installed

capacity of the present water supply based on underground sources is almost 1.00 MLD.

The inhabitants of the Town receive water at a maximum rate of 33lpcd. Presently town

is getting water from the 29Tube wells, 24 Wells and 140 hand pumps. There is no water

treatment plant & intake well. The underground water table is at a depth of

approximately 80-100 M which is further decreasing every year as a result of drawl of

water from the tube wells. The increasing depth of water table is resulting in high

pumping cost and also the possibility of presence of heavy metals in water.

16. Presently Amla is having 4 nos. of Overhead Tanks, 1 having capacity of 165 KL at

Nagar Palika, 1 having capacity of 200 KL at Bada Park & 2 having capacity of 310 KL;

1 at Govind Colony & 1 at Bodkhi School & all are in good conditions. The water is

supplied by directly pumping water from the tubewells to the OHTs.

17. The water is supplied on alternate day basis. In some pockets water is supplied at an

interval of 2-days (for 30 to 45 minutes). The water from wells and tube wells are

pumped into the OHTs and supplied after adding bleaching powder. The existing

system is not sufficient to cover piped water supply of whole town. In the absence of

100% piped water supply system people are relying upon Public Taps and Municipal

21

council has made necessary arrangements of water tankers to provide water to the

community during the summer seasons and in case of emergency.

18. The existing distribution system comprises of GI pipes having diameters of 50 mm-150

mm & total length of existing distribution system is approximately 45.00 Kms. The pipes

are not in a good condition; hence it has been discarded in the proposed project.

3. SARNI

19. Present water supply of the Sarni town is mostly depends on water from Satpura

Reservoir. Actually existing water supply scheme of Sarni was executed and operated

by MPEB and WCL.

20. Scenario of Water Supply Scheme by Western Coalfield Limited: Ward numbers 14

to 29 of Pathakheda and 30 to 35 of Shobhapur is coming under WCL area. Intake well

was constructed in the Satpura Reservoir. Water will be pumped to WTP at Pathakheda

having cumulative capacity 7.70 MLD. Then the water will be pumped to 10 numbers of

OHT’s having cumulative capacities 1868 KL. All these OHT’s were constructed from year 1975 to 2000. After that the water will be distributed to wards numbers 14 to 30 with

the help of approximately 40 km of distribution system. Mainly CI pipes having diameter

300 mm & 200 mm and GI Pipes having diameter 100 mm & 50 mm were used to

distribute the water. The entire scheme was executed more than 30 years back and

hence augmentation is required.

21. Scenario of Water Supply Scheme by MPEB: Ward numbers 1 to 13 of Sarni is

coming under MPEB area. Intake well was constructed in the Satpura Reservoir. Water will be pumped to WTP at Sarni near Thermal Power Plant having approximate capacity 4 MLD. Then the water will be pumped to 2000 KL OHT in Ward No 7. After that the water will be distributed to wards numbers 1 to 13 with the help of approximately 30 km of distribution system. Mainly CI pipes having diameter 300 mm & 200 mm and GI Pipes having diameter 100 mm & 50 mm were used to distribute the water. The entire scheme was executed around year 1980 and hence augmentation is required.

22. Present water supply arrangements are not adequate and since the water supply

infrastructure was constructed more than 30 years back that leads to heavy water

losses, therefore water scarcity conditions are arising. Water supply losses during

transmission are also very high i.e. more than50%, that leads to a high energy

consumption and loss of ULB.Presently water is supplied only for 45 min on daily.

22

C. Proposed Project Components

1. BETUL-BAZAR

23. For Betul Bazar WSS, the most appropriate water source considered is Tapti River. A

bringwater supply scheme is proposed for Betul town from Tapti River. Barrage proposed to

beconstructed on Tapti River for Betul town and water will be to pump to WTP from

TaptiRiver. Barrage was designed considering the water demand of Betul Town. It is

proposed to tap raw water from 400 mm DI K-9 Raw Water Rising Main at Multai Road

inBetul. Also, Raw Water Sump& Pump House at junction point are proposed to construct.

From Junction Point water is pumped to WTP with the help of Centrifugal Pumps and

150mm DI K9 RWRM having length 5500 m.WTP capacity is of 1.15 MLD is proposed to be

constructed at Khasra No – 84/1 in Ward No1 on Betul Road. The ownership of land is

verified and is in possession of RevenueDepartment, Govt. of Madhya Pradesh and

considered land is ensured for the purposed ofwater supply scheme.Presently two OHT’s are available in Betul Bazar having capacities 300 KL in Ward No 3 &500 KL in Ward No 7.

The 500 KL OHT was constructed in 1990. The present condition of500 KL is not good and

hence proposed not to use this OHT in new scheme. The 300 KL wasconstructed in 2004

and proposed to be used in new scheme. In addition to this 200 KL OHTis proposed to be

constructed in Ward No 8 at Khasra No 475 to cater the water demand of Betul Bazar town

till year 2033 new water supply scheme is needs to be implemented for population for the of

13000 souls for a year 2048 (Ultimate Year of Design) considering 70 LPCD water supply

and source as surface source to ensure adequate quantity, quality and desired pressure at

doorstep of each household as per the Guidelines of MPUSIP.As Betul Bazar is tapping raw

water from town Betul where the Bids are in final process and project is likely to be

completed in 6 months.

2. AMLA

24. As per the proposed augmentation project, it is proposed to augment the capacity of existing

Amla water supply so as to suit the drinking water needs of the probable population of Amla

for next 30 years taking net supply rate as 70 lpcd. The population of Amla for next 30 years

(upto 2048) i.e., taking 2 year as execution period and 30 years as service period has been

estimated as 43,500 i,e., design population. Taking 70 lpcd as per capita demand, the net

water requirement shall be 3.05 MLD. After accounting for 15% Transmission and Treatment

losses, the raw water required shall be 3.60 MLD. This augmentation project has been

designed for augmenting the capacity of water supply system up to 3.60 MLD from Bel

River. (a) Weir Construction having length of 70 m and 8.0 m total height including 2 m

foundation at Kajli Village on Bel River.

23

3. SARNI

22. A new water supply scheme is needs to be implemented for population for the of

135100souls for a year 2048 (Ultimate Year of Design) considering 135 LPCD water supply

and source as surface source to ensure adequate quantity, quality and desired pressure at

doorstep of each household as per the Guidelines of MPUSIP. The design base year for the

proposed WSS is taken as 2018, in which population is likely to be reached 95500 and

water demand will be 16.30 MLD.

23. For the Sarni town, the demand of water supply for the year 2018, 2033 & 2048 are

estimated to the tune of 16.30 MLD, 19.70 MLD &23.10 MLD respectively. Thus maximum

of 23.10 MLD intake form the source per annum i.e. 8431 ML (8.43 MCM) of drawl of water

is to be ensured. Annual average recoupment of water in the tank every year is around

75.43 MCM. While the recoupment of water during rainy season is 75.43 MCM which is 10

times than the annual water demand of Sarni town

24. Following Table 1 shows the proposed water supply systems along with natureand size of

components in foursubproject towns.Figure 2 to Figure 10 shows the proposed water

systems, component layouts etc

25. Project benefits. The subproject aims to achieve safe and sustainable water services both

in terms of services to customers, cost recovery and conservation of precious water

resources. The subproject will provide continuous, pressurized and safe drinking water

services to entire population of the towns (100% coverage). Besides achieving progressively

increasing cost recovery by expanding the coverage and increasing operating efficiency, the

subproject will improve the overall environmental quality of the town. It will reduce the

reduced time and costs of households in accessing alternative sources of water, and will

lead to better public health particularly reduction in waterborne and infectious diseases.

II. Source

1 Alternatives • Extracting Ground Water • Sapana River • Sapana Dam • Tapti River – Tapping on Raw

Water Rising Main of Betul WSS

Other than these four options, there is not water body nearby the Betul Bazar town to consider as a water source for proposed Water Supply Scheme of town. A water supply scheme for Betul city is under construction.

• Bel river • sasundra Dam and sapana

Dam • Narmada River • Tapti River • Machana River

Other then these five options, there is no water body present nearby vicinity of the town.

• Extracting Ground Water • Satpura Reservoir • Constructing Dam on Tawa

River at Tiliyadoh Other than these three options, there is no water body present nearby vicinity of the Sarni town to consider as a water source for proposed Water Supply Scheme of town. For the proposed water supply scheme, Satpura Reservoir is found adequate for the water supply in Sarni town after analyzing all the tree water sources. The location of Satpura dam is in the reachable scratch from the core Sarni town and located in Tehsil – Sarni, Dist - Betul. The dam is around 7.00 km away from Sarni town

2

Selected source

Tapti river is taken as water source in this scheme. The raw water feeder mains for Betul city will cross through Betul Bazar. So, trapping of this raw water rising mains of Betul city WSS is found economical for supplying water in Betul Bazar.

The Bel River is most suitable dependable/sustainable surface source of water supply because of the less distance and pumping cost.

Satpura Reservoir is selected as water

source.

IV. POLICY, LEGAL &ADMINISTRATIVE FRAMEWORK

A.ADB POLICY

30. 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.

31. 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) CategoryA.Projectscould have significant adverseenvironmental impacts. An EIA

isrequiredtoaddresssignificantimpacts.

(ii) CategoryB.Projectscould have some adverseenvironmental impacts, but

oflesserdegreeorsignificance thanthosein category A.AnIEE isrequired to determine whether

significantenvironmental impactswarranting an EIAare likely.Ifan EIA isnot needed, theIEE

isregarded asthefinal environmental Assessment report.

(iii) CategoryC.Projectsare unlikelyto have adverse environmental impacts. No EIA orIEEis

required, although environmental implications arereviewed.

(iv) CategoryFI.Projectsinvolve acreditlinethrough afinancial intermediaryor an equity investment

in afinancial intermediary. Thefinancial intermediary mustapplyan environmental

managementsystem, unless all projectswill resultininsignificantimpacts.

32. 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.

B.NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTALLAWS

33. 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 this must be obtained before any construction work

or land preparation (except land acquisition) may commence. Projects are categorized as A or B

depending on the scale of the project and the nature of its impacts.

34. Category A projects requires EC from the central Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF).

The proponent is required to provide preliminary details of the project in the prescribed manner

with all requisite details, after which an Expert Appraisal Committee (EAC) of the MoEF prepares

comprehensive Terms of Reference (ToR) for the EIA study. On completion of the study and

review of the report by the EAC, MoEF considers the recommendation of the EAC and provides

the EC if appropriate.

35. Category B projects require environmental clearance from the State Environment Impact

Assessment Authority (SEIAA). The State level EAC categorizes the project as either B1

(requiring EIA study) or B2 (no EIA study), and prepares ToR for B1 projects within 60 days. On

36

completion of the study and review of the report by the EAC, the SEIAA issues the EC based on

the EAC recommendation. The Notification also provides that any project or activity classified as

category B will be treated as category A if it is located in whole or in part within 10 km from the

boundary of protected areas, notified areas or inter-state or international boundaries.

36. None of the component of this water supply sub project under the ambit of the EIA Notification

2006, and therefore, EC is not required for the subproject.

37. 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 2.

Construction and demolition waste management rules, 2016

The rule shall apply to everyone who generates construction and demolition waste such as building materials, debris, rubble waste resulting from construction, re-modeling, repair and demolition of any civil structure of individual and organization.

Rule will be applicable as construction and demolition waste will be generated during excavation and construction work.

38. ADB SPS Requirements. During the design, construction, and operation of the project the PMU

and PIUs are required to apply pollution prevention and control technologies and practices consistent with international good practice, as reflected in internationally recognized standards such as the World Bank Group’s Environment, Health and Safety Guidelines. These standards contain performance levels and measures that are normally acceptable and applicable to projects. When Government of India regulations differ from these levels and measures, the PMU and PIUs will achieve whichever is more stringent. If less stringent levels or measures are appropriate in view of specific project circumstances, the PMU and PIUs will provide full and detailed justification for any proposed alternatives that are consistent with the requirements presented in ADB SPS. International acceptable air and noise quality guidelines are provided below:

V. DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT

A. METHODOLOGY USED FOR BASELINE STUDY

39. Data collection and stakeholder consultations. Data for this study has been

primarily collected through literature survey, discussion with stakeholder agencies,

and field visits to the proposed subproject sites.

40. The literature survey broadly covered the following:

I. Project details, reports, maps, and other documents prepared by technical

experts of design consultant team

II. Discussions with technical experts, municipal authorities, relevant government

agencies like WRD, Forest Department, MPPCB, etc.

III. Secondary data from previous project reports & published articles, if any, and

IV. Literature on land use, soil, geology, hydrology, climate, socioeconomic, and

7 Surface

Water

Sapana River: Sapana

River is not a perennial

river. A Sapana Dam

was constructed on the

Sapana River. This river

flows mostly during the

rainy season and

remains dry almost 8

months of a year. There

is no assurance to

getting the 100% water

demand of Betul Bazar

town during the entire

year.

Sapana Dam: This is an

irrigation project, located

in Betul district

of Madhya Pradesh. It is

an earthen dam with a

maximum height of 21.94

m above deepest

foundation. It is

constructed on Sapana

river, a tributary

of Narmada River. The

construction was started

in the year 1952 and

completed in the year

1956. Its live storage

capacity is 14.31MCM.

There are five water body

situated in the municipal

boundary, Bel river is 5kms from

town.

The irrigation tanks at Sasundra

Dam and Sapna Dam having

capacity of 4.60 MCM looking to

the water required for irrigation

and the Full tank capacity the

tanks cannot spare any water

quantity for water supply of

Amla.

Narmada river is 100kms from

town.Looking to the large

distance and high pumping,

bringing water from Narmada

will be not only very high in

terms of Capex but also in Opex.

Tapti is 50kms from the town

which is not perennial.

Machana river is 2okms, the

entire flow of river is being

tapped and used by municipal

council betul hence any

additional water quantity for WS

from river is not possible.

Satpura Reservoir: This is a

power project, located in

Betul district of Madhya

Pradesh. It is an gravity dam

with a maximum height of

120 feet above deepest

foundation. It is constructed

on Tawa River a tributary

of Narmada River. The

construction was started in

the year 1964 and completed

in the year 1967. Its live

storage capacity is 110.37

MCM while the revised

capacity is 75.43 MCM.

10 Ecology The project area –

municipal area of Betul

Bazar Nagar Parishad,

comprises the habital

area of Betul Bazar town.

There is no ecological

sensitive feature like

forest in the project area.

Flora and fauna found in

the area is of local

species. Aquatic life in

the project areas is not

notable.

There are no ecologically

sensitive area comes under the

proposed subproject. Streams

are seasonal, so there is no

noticeable aquatic life. Flora and

fauna found in the area is of

local species

Most part of Betul district is

under thick forest and Sarni

Municipal area is landlocked

from all sides these protected

forest. These reserve forest

limits the growth of Sarni

municipal area and it future

outgrowth. But under the

boundary of Sarni municipal

corporation, there is no

ecological and environmental

sensitive flora and fauna.

None of proposed water

supply component is comes

under forest area.

Satpura National Park is

around 91 Km away from the

municipal boundary limits of

Sarni town and Source.

Source Satpura Reservoir is

touching the boundary limits

of Sarni town and around

6.70 Km away from the town.

Hence both Sarni town and

source Satpura Reservoir is

not coming in the Satpura

National Park area.

Agriculture

and

Industry

Out of total area 60%

(100.8 Ha) was under

residential land use in

2011. Around 2% (3.36

Ha) of total town area is

under commercial use,

which is inadequate as

recommended under

UDPFI Guidelines (3-4 %

of the total land should

be under commercial

use). Commercial

Over the last decade the

industrial development has

shown a declining graph, due to

thievery fact that there is

declining share of land for

industrial development. A major

emphasis was given to promote

the industrial area in Amla.But

the industrial base in the city

could not be developed as

expected due to shortage of

electricity and Water. There

The total area of Sarni as

given in the records of MCS

is 3541.822 hectares. Out

of these 3541.822 hectares

of land, 1207.030 hectares of

land is available

for development; most of

which falls under Forest and

Revenue jurisdiction. Out of

the total developed land of

1921.241 hectares, 720

hectares (37.48 per cent) is

activities are mainly

concentrated along the

major roads of the city

and in the form of

informal activities spread

over the city. In 2011,

city lacks in industrial

area. Only 1% (1.68 ha)

of the town is under

industrial use which is

very less as compared to

the UDPFI guidelines.

4% (6.72 Ha) area of the

city is covered under

public-semi-public uses

while 8% (13.44 ha) of

land is under

Public Utilities and

Facilities.There are not

any large or small scale

industries in the town.

The town has been

generating its economy

from its agricultural

resources. The economic

base of the town is

predominantly agriculture

and agro based

products, though it is

changing into tertiary

sector (mainly shops,

market based activities)

with declining Household

units. The cash crops

which thrive in agriculture

sector are Sugarcane

and Cotton

exists no large-scale industry in

the city. The main industrial units

in Amla are:-

• Stone crushers

• Gur Preparation

• Saw Mill

structure

and

Transport

The town is well

connected to surrounding

areas andrest of the

country by State

Highway 26 (Alirajpur-

Chindwara) & National

Highway 69(Bhopal-

Nagpur). Settlements

neighboring the town are

connected through major

district roads (MDRs).

Traffic & Transportation: The

road network system of Amla is

radial in nature. The Density of

roads in Amla is 4.185 km/ sq.

km.

Sarni has developed along

Ghoradongri-Sarni road with

all major roads and regional

linkages in a perpendicular

pattern to Ghoradongri-Sarni

road in the past. The

commercial activity

predominantly have

developed along the

Ghoradongri-Sarni road (the

major artery of the city),

beginning at the Ghoradongri

Station and end at Satpura

Thermal Power station.

The main streets of the town

are in working condition but it

often leads to frequent

choking due to growing traffic

in Sarni. Absence of other

infrastructure viz. footpaths,

road marking, rotary, railing

etc. leads to reduction in

traffic speed. A Traffic

Volume Count Survey has

been conducted in the city to

understand the

characteristics of the traffic at

critical locations. The detailed

road map of Sarni has been

developed from satellite

imagery for better

understanding of land use

and road density. The traffic

speed on the main road is

very slow particularly during

the peak hours as per the

survey. Width of the main

artery and roads in the city is

10 to 25 meters and the

width of other major roads is

5 to 10 meters

Only 10% area of the

town is covered with

drainage network which

includes both pucca and

kutcha drains. Drainage

network of length 7.65

km has been laid along

major roads in the form

of open drains. Flooding

occurs in all the low

Management

There is no practice of

segregation of recyclable

waste at source, evading

possibility of reduction in

quantity of waste

generation at source.

Such waste on streets or

in the bins of Betul Bazar

sites un-segregated. In

the absence of practice

of segregation of waste

at source, rag pickers

pick up part of this waste

in soiled condition.

Currently, there is no

system of door to door

16 History and

culture and

tourism

Betul Bazar town came

into existence first but

couldn’t develop due to the local farmer’s

resistance for railway line

across the town. Hence,

Betul was opted for rail

link in the district

which caused faster

development due to

increase in trade and

commerce. It has

become a Mandi town.

There are no protected or

notable historical, cultural or

tourism places in the town.

One of the most conspicuous

sites of Sarni is

a Shiva temple overlooking

the town from Mathardev

peak, which is the highest

point, approximately 3,500 ft

(1,100 m) (from sea level),

among neighboring hills of

Satpura ranges. The peak as

well as the temple are named

after a legendary tribal chief

named Mathardev. The

legendary chief commands

strong following among the

local and neighboring

population.

VI ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

A. INTRODUCTION

43. Potential environmental impacts of the proposed infrastructure components arepresented 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.

44. 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.

45. 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).

46. 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.

47.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.

48. 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, and necessary water allocations are being made from Water Resources Department(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 project will be in properties held by the local government and access to the project location is through public rights-of-way and existing roads hence, land acquisition and encroachment on private property will not occur.

http://www.adb.org/documents/guidelines/environmental_assessment/eaguidelines002.asp

B. PRE-CONSTRUCTIONIMPACTS–DESIGN &LOCATION

49. Design of the Proposed Components. Technical design of the (i) intake facilities, (ii) water treatment

plant; (iii) raw water and clear water mains, (iv) storage reservoirs, 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)Discontinuation ofcurrentunsustainablegroundwater sourceandcreatinga newcomprehensive

50. Water Source Selection and SustainabilityAs the subproject towns are located far from each other there was no possibility of a combined source/ bulk water scheme. Therefore, independent water supply schemes are proposed for 4 towns separately based on the most feasible water source considering techno-economic and environmental considerations as elucidated below .

A. BETUL-BAZAR

51. Present water supply arrangements are not adequate and ground water source level is depleting day by

day, therefore water scarcity conditions are arising. Water supply losses during transmission are also

very high i.e. more than 46%, that leads to a high energy consumption and loss of ULB. Presently water

will be supplied only for 45 min on alternate days.

52.Water Source: For the water supply of Betul Bazar town, water source studies done.

There appears to be three optional sources:

(i) Extracting Ground Water

(ii) Sapana River

(iii) Sapana Dam

(iv) Tapti River – Tapping on Raw Water Rising Main of Betul WSS

63

53. Presently only 0.40MLD of water is being supplied through ground sources like 7 nos of tube wells, 28 nos of Hand Pumps & 3 nos of open well.These entire sources are giving very less yield. Based on the available data the present tube wells may supply water to the town at the tune of maximum 0.24 MLD. Below data / graphs from the Central Ground Water Board, Ministry of Water Resources and The groundwater samples are being collected from each monitoring wells during the month of May every year. The quality of ground water in district is being described by the analysis of groundwater samples from 23 ground water monitoring wells. The analysis of water samples for year 2012 indicate that the electrical conductivity (EC) values were found in the range of 262 and 16700 us/cm at 250C. The nitrate in ground water of Betul district is varying between 1.3-156 mg/l. Nitrate more than 100mg/l was found in only one village namely Nimpani (145 mg/l). The higher concentration of NO3 may be due to excessive use of fertilized and localized pollution.

54. Sapna River and Sapna Dam. Sapana River is not a perennial river. A Sapana Dam was constructed on the Sapana River.This river flows mostly during the rainy season and remains dry almost 8 months of a year.There is no assurance to getting the 100% water demand of Betul Bazar town during the entire year..Since water quality test for deciding source to be taken as water source, it is proved to be good source based on the water sample test reports obtained from recognized PHED Laboratory, Bhopal .The basic parameters of quality of raw water are proved to be good since pH is 7.62 which is well within the permissible limit of 6.5 to 8.5 (said to Excellent Source), total Chlorides found is 10 mg/ltr which is around 50 mg/lit (said to Excellent Source) and Fluoride is 0.0 mg/ltr which is less than 1 mg/ltr (said to Excellent Source), Nitrates found is 1.0 mg/ltr which is much less than the permissible limitsof 45 mg/ltr (said to Excellent Source). Due to the non availability of water in Sapana Dam, it is not selected as source for Betul-Bazar WSS.

55. Other than these four options, there is not water body nearby the Betul Bazar town to consider as a

water source for proposed Water Supply Scheme of town. A water supply scheme for Betul city is

under construction. Tapti river is taken as water source in this scheme. The raw water feeder mains for

Betul city will cross through Betul Bazar. So, trapping of this raw water rising mains of Betul city WSS is

found economical for supplying water in Betul Bazar.

56. Tapti River is flowing from the south- west direction of the Betul Bazar and is approximately 25 km from

the town. It is proposed to construct barrage on Tapti River on Betul – Amravati Road. The designed

storage capacity of the weir will be 1.50 MCM. On the upstream to this weir i.e. 56 Kms, a dam near

Parasdoh is under construction. Apart from this 5 MCM water shall be regulated from the dam to be

constructed on upstream side of Tapti River near Parasdoh and will be available at proposed weir site.

A commitment has been obtained to get 5 MCM water from Parasdoh Dam. Thus the total water

availability at barge is 6.50 MCM.

57. The approximate catchment area of Tapti River upto the proposed weir is 800 Sq Km. The approximate

runoff for average rainfall of 1132 mm works out 1000 Cumecs. The height of barge is being proposed

as 9.0 m, having foundation depth of 2.0 m and height above bed level 7.00 m with length of weir as

170 m.

58. After losses, 5 MCM water is available in the weir to be supplied to Betul. In this weir 1.10 MLD (for

Ultimate Stage of Design) is allocated for Betul Bazar. For drawl of 14.30 MLD (Cumulative water

demand of Betul and Betul Bazar) an Intake Well having diameter 6.00 m and height of 15.0 m shall be

64

constructed near proposed weir at Tapti River.Average Water Resource Potential is 14880 (MCM) and

Utilizable Surface Water Resource 14500 (MCM)

59. Water Quantity Security:-For the Betul Bazar town, the demand of water supply for the year 2018, 2033 &

2048 are estimated to the tune of 0.95 MLD, 1.05 MLD & 1.10 MLD respectively. Thus maximum of 1.10

MLD intake form the source per annum i.e. 402 ML (0.40 MCM) of drawl of water is to be ensured. Annual

average recoupment of water in the tank every year is around 6.50 MCM. While the recoupment of water

during rainy season is 6.50 MCM which is 16 times than the annual water demand of Betul Bazar town.

60. The tapping location is in the reachable scratch from the core Betul Bazar town and located in Tehsil –

Betul, Dist - Betul. The location is around 5.50 km away from Betul Bazar town. Hence Tapping raw water

from tapti river has taken as water sustainable source for proposed water supply system.

Figure 15: Ground water TableBetul-Bazar

65

B. AMLA TOWN

69. Source Identification The design population of Amla for the year 2048 is 43,500. Presently Amla is

getting 1.00 MLD water from Tube Wells & Well. In a longer period ground water sources cannot be

considered dependable and economical for urban water supply. It is therefore proposed to supply water

from the surface sources. For supplying potable water from the surface source, the various water sources

in and around the project vicinity has been examined. Following are the possible source.

70. Sources available in the vicinity of project area

(a) Bel River: - Flowing in south east direction of the town. The is a sub tributary of Kanhan River which is

a tributary of Weinganga River. The river is the approximately 5 km from the town. It is not a perennial source. Due to small catchment, flow creases by the end of March every year.In the absence of flow station on the banks of River, no flow data is available. The details of flow have been verified from the local residents. For drawing of 3.60 MLD raw water from the river, a storage structure shall be required having sufficient capacity for storing water for the period of 5 months in a year. Thus the storage capacity required shall be 0.90Mcum.

(b) The irrigation tanks at Sasundra Dam and Sapna Dam having capacity of 4.60 MCMand 16.90 MCM respectively. Looking to the irrigation area. The irrigation area (CCA) attached to Sasundra and Sapna Dam is 500Ha. And 2200Ha. respectively. The wastewater required for irrigation purposes is 3.80 MCM and 14.30 MCM. Thus looking to the water required for irrigation and the Full tank capacity the tanks cannot spare any water quantity for water supply of Amla.

(c) The perennial River like Narmada which is approximately 100 km from Amla. Looking to the large distance and high pumping, bringing water from Narmada will be not only very high in terms of Capex but also in Opex.

(d) Tapti is the most prominent river in the vicinity of project area and is approximately 50 kms from the town. The river is not perennial and some storage structure shall be required to be constructed for drawl of water for water supply to Amla.

(e) Machana River is approximately 20 km. The entire flow of the river is being tapped and used by

Municipal Council Betul for water supply of Betul. Hence getting any additional water quantity for the water supply of Amla from Machana will not be possible.

71. Most Suitable source of water supply: Looking to the above, Bel River is most suitable dependable

/sustainable surface source of water supply because of the water availability to Amla.

Since the river is not perennial & the river flow crease by the month of February-March every year, it is

proposed to construct a Barrage of 5.0 m height from average bed level near Lalawadi Road on Bel River

for supplying water all the year round. For this reconnaissance survey is being carried out from 07/03/2016

to 11/03/2016 in the river. Looking to the banks and approachability, the most appropriate location for

construction of barrage is near Lalawadi Road. The maximum capacity of barrage at FTL 714 m above

MSL is coming as 0.88Mcum.

66

The catchment area upto the proposed weir site is 200 km2approximately. With the annual average rainfall

of 1212.275 mm (Betul district) & taking coefficient of runoff as 0.20 (for average catchment and average

rainfall, no continuous downpore), the yield at Barrage point is 48.48Mcum. Looking to the yield, the gross

capacity of Barrage of 0.88Mcum is 100% assured.

72. Out of the available gross capacity of proposed Barrage on Bel River, taking 35-40% losses on account of

evaporation, seepage and pilferage the net useful capacity shall be 0.54Mcum which will be sufficient for

supplying water @ 70lpcd to the design population of Amla, for 150 days in a year

73. Source water sustainability and environmental considerations. In Amla, water is proposed to be sourced

from the nearest Bel River. To ensure water availability during the no-flow period, a weir is proposed. Water quality is good. Therefore, no negative impacts envisaged on existing water uses or ecosystem. The catchment area upto the proposed weir site is 200 sqkms. With the annual average rainfall of 1212.275 mm & taking coefficient of runoff as 0.20, the yieldat weir point is 48.48 MCum. Looking to the yield, the gross capacity of weir of 0.88 MCum is assured. There is no storage structure on the downstream of the weir and the aquatic life is least in the river which results in no major negative impact on ecosystem and aquatic life. Its water quality report is given in table 8, which suggests that the water is according to the standard of drinking.

74. This is a weir, with a height of just 6 m above the river bed level (same as depth of river banks), thus confining the submergence to river course itself. The main purpose of this weir is to recharge the riverbed, and not for direct abstraction from the storage, and will ensure adequate water availability to meet the demand of no-flow period (4-5) months in summer. There is no gauging station on the proposed river by the WRD, but after consultation with local people it is concluded that flow of river ceases in the month of December- January.

75. Impacts due to Weir on downstream users and ecosystem:There is one existing dam of Railways which is in abandoned stage. Its is approx 6000 m downstream from the proposed weir from Amla.Weir will be solid structure (built in RCC) and will have no arrangements to increase/decrease the height (such as operable gates) or release or hold water beyond/below the fixed dam height. Given very small storage, weir will be filled at the first monsoon flow itself, and will continue to be full throughout (as no abstraction, except for the evaporation and infiltration losses), and the water coming from the upstream will overflow freely. Therefore the change in flow regime due to this small dam will be negligible on downstream users and river eco system.The proposed impoundment, in fact, is likely to benefit the environment through groundwater recharge and propagating aquatic life. Water quality is suitable for drinking water after conventional treatment and disinfection, and there are no notable pollution sources. No negative impacts thus envisaged. If we talk about upstream, there is one weir which is 6.5 kms away from the proposed weir. Hence there is no encouragement of water from any weir present in upstream and downstream. It is a good location as it is easy approachable and the cross section of river is suitable for the construction of a weir.

C. SARNI

76. A new water supply scheme is needs to be implemented for population for the of 135100souls for a year

2048 (Ultimate Year of Design) considering 135 LPCD water supply and source as surface source to

ensure adequate quantity, quality and desired pressure at doorstep of each household as per the

Guidelines of MPUSIP. The design base year for the proposed WSS is taken as 2018, in which population

is likely to be reached 95500 and water demand will be 16.30 MLD.

77. Selection of water source for the water supply of Sarni town, water source studies done. There appears

to be three optional sources:

✓ Extracting Ground Water

✓ Satpura Reservoir

✓ Constructing Dam on Tawa River at Tiliyadoh

78. The groundwater level of Sarni town I depleted very rapidly. It reduces from 2m to 4m just from 2013 to

2014. The groundwater samples are being collected from each monitoring wells during the month of May

every year by CGWB. The quality of ground water in district is being described by the analysis of

groundwater samples from 23 ground water monitoring wells. The analysis of water samples for year 2012

indicate that, the electrical conductivity (EC) values were found in the range of 262 and 16700 us/cm at

25°C. The nitrate in ground water of Betul district is varying between 1.3-156 mg/l Nitrate more than 100

mg/l was found in only one village namely Nimpani (145 mg/l). The higher concentration of NO3 may be

due to excessive use of fertilizer and localized pollution.Therefore it is not the suitable source.

79. Quality Assurance of Satpura Reservoir:Presently entire water supply of entire Sarni town is based on

Satpura Reservoir. The quality of water is already assured since it is already being used as a water

source. Still water sample from Satpura reservoir was collected and submitted in PHE Laboratory for

testing purpose. Test report is found adequate for drinking water purpose. Water quality test of Satpura

reservoir has been done as per drinking water standard and it was found that all the parameter comes

under the permissible limit. The water analysis report of Satpura reservoir is given in Appendix – 12.

80. Water Quantity Security: For the Sarni town, the demand of water supply for the year 2018, 2033 & 2048

are estimated to the tune of 16.30 MLD, 19.70 MLD &23.10 MLD respectively. Thus maximum of 23.10

MLD intake form the source per annum i.e. 8431 ML (8.43 MCM) of drawl of water is to be ensured. Annual

average recoupment of water in the tank every year is around 75.43 MCM. While the recoupment of water

during rainy season is 75.43 MCM which is 10 times than the annual water demand of Sarni town.

81. Other than these three options, there is no water body present nearby vicinity of the Sarni town to consider

as a water source for proposed Water Supply Scheme of town. Ground water level in Sarni is very low to

supply the water in Town. Tawa river is generally dry in summer season, so found not adequate to as water

source. For the proposed water supply scheme, Satpura Reservoir is found adequate for the water supply

in Sarni town after analyzing all the tree water sources. The location of Satpura dam is in the reachable

scratch from the core Sarni town and located in Tehsil – Sarni, Dist - Betul. The dam is around 7.00 km

away from Sarni town. Satpura reservoir is found adequate source for Sarni Water Supply Scheme due to

71

its adequacy in terms of quality as well quantity. After water analysis of Satpura Reservoir, it is found that

all the parameter is beyond the drinking water standard.

Figure 18: Ground water table Sarni

82. Use of Chlorine as disinfectant. It is proposed to use chlorine at WTP to disinfect the water prior to supply to consumers. There is invariably a safety risk when chlorine is handled. Although facilities are not located close to habitations, safety precautions are necessary to ensure the safety of workers and citizens. To avoid any risk, the chlorination facility will be provided with the following:

• Chlorine neutralization pit with a lime slurry feeder

• Proper ventilation, lighting, entry and exit facilities

• Facility for isolation in the event of major chlorine leakage

• Personal protection and safety equipment for the operators in the chlorine plant

• Provide training to the staff in safe handling and application of chlorine; this shall be included in the contract of Chlorinator supplier

72

• Supplier of Chlorinator equipment shall provide standard operating manual for safe operation and as well as maintenance and repairs; preferably these shall be provided both in English and Hindi Languages

73

83. 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 ULBs will (i) identify the locations and operators

of these utilities to prevent unnecessary disruption of services during construction phase; and (ii)

instruct construction contractors to prepare a contingency plan to include actions to be done in

case of unintentional interruption of services.

84. 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 inconvenience the community.

85. 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 administrat.

C, CONSTRUCTION IMPACT

86. The construction work is expected not to cause major negative impacts, mainly because:

(i) most of the activities will be on the built-up areas of towns and/or existing RoWs thus could

be constructed without causing impacts to biodiversity;

(ii) most of the sites are located on government-owned land which is not occupied or used for

any other purpose;

(iii) overall construction program will be relatively short and is expected to be completed in

24 months with activities to conducted by small teams and specifiedlocation so most

impacts will be localized and short in duration; and

(i) Most of the predicted impacts associated with the construction process are

produced because the process is invasive, such as involving excavation.

However, the routine nature of the impacts means that most can be easily

mitigated and the impacts are clearly a result of the construction process rather

than the design or location, as impacts will not occur if excavation or other ground

disturbance is not involved.

74

87. As a result, there are several aspects of the environment which are not expected to be

affected by the construction process and these can be screened out of the assessment at this

stage as required by ADB procedure. These are shown in following Table8. These

environmental factors are screened out presently but will be assessed again before starting

the construction activities.

Table9: Environmental component to be affected

Field Rationale

Topography, Soils, and Geology

Activities are not large enough to affect these features.

Climate Activities are not large enough to affect this feature.

Air Quality Short-term production of dust is the only effect on atmosphere

Groundwater Activities will not be large enough to affect these features

Flora and Fauna No rare or endangered species in the landfill site.

Economic Development Activities are not large enough to permanently affect this feature.

Land Use No change in land use.

Socio-economic Subproject site is located entirely on government-owned land so there is no need to acquire land from private owners

Commerce, Industry, and Agriculture Activities are not large enough to affect these features

Population Activities are not large enough to affect this feature.

Health and education facilities Activities are not large enough to affect this feature.

88. Anticipated Impacts and Mitigation Measures

Although construction of the subproject components involves quite simple techniques of

civil work, the invasive nature of excavation and the subproject locations in the built-up

areas of towns. Where there are a variety of human activities, will result to impacts to the

environment and sensitive receptors such as residents, businesses, and the community

in general. These anticipated impacts are temporary and for short duration. Physical

impacts will be reduced by the method of working and scheduling of work, whereby the

project components will be (i) constructed by small teams working at a time; (ii) any

excavation done near sensitive area like school,religious places and house will be

protected as per standard norms. (iii)Busy street and bazaar area will require night work.

For night work Contractor will ensure lights not focusing on houses, (iv) Use of low noise

generator. (v) Proper sinages and barricades. (vi)Prior noticed before construction work

of a particular stretch to residences/shops etc.

75

89. Sources of Materials. Significant amount of gravel, sand, and cement will be

requiredfor this subproject. The construction contractor will be required to:

• Use quarry sites and sources permitted by government;

• Verify suitability of all material sources and obtain approval of UAED and ULB; and

• Submit to UAED on a monthly basis documentation of sources of materials.

90. Air Quality. It is most certain that work will be conducted during the dry season, so there

is potential for creating dust from the excavation of dry soil, backfilling, transportation to

disposal, and from the import and storage of sand/gravel for bedding. Emissions from

construction vehicles, equipment, and machinery used for excavation and construction

will also induce impacts on the air quality in the construction sites. Anticipated impacts

include dusts and increase in concentration of vehicle-related pollutants such as

carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides, particulate matter, nitrous oxides, and hydrocarbons) but

temporary and during construction activities only. To mitigate the impacts, construction

contractors will be required to:

• Consult with PMU/PIU on the designated areas for stockpiling of clay, soils, gravel,

and other construction materials;

• Excavate the SRs foundations at the same time as the access roads (if needed) are

built so that dug material is used immediately, avoiding the need to stockpile on site;

• Damp down exposed soil and any stockpiled on site by spraying with water when

necessary during dry weather;

• Bring materials (aggregates) as and when required;

• Use tarpaulins to cover sand and other loose material when transported by

vehicles;

• Fit all heavy equipment and machinery with air pollution control devices which are

operating correctly; and

• Clean wheels and undercarriage of vehicles prior to leaving construction site.

91. Landscape and Aesthetics. The construction work is likely to generate significant

quantities of waste soil and debris. This activity will generate wood, metal and concrete

debris. Indiscriminate disposal of the soil and waste may affect the local environment at

the disposal location. These impacts are negative but short-term and reversible by

mitigation measures. The construction contractor will be required to:

• Prepare and implement Waste Management Plan;

• Avoid stockpiling of excess excavated soils;

• Avoid disposal of any debris and waste soils in the forest areas and in or near water

bodies/rivers;

• Coordinate with ULB for beneficial uses of excess excavated soils or immediately

dispose to designated areas;

• Recover wood, metal, used oil, and lubricants and reuse or remove from the sites;

• Manage solid waste according to the following preference hierarchy: reuse, recycling

and disposal to designated areas;

76

• Remove all wreckage, rubbish, or temporary structures which are no longer

required; and

• Request UAED/PMU to report in writing that the necessary environmental restoration

work has been adequately performed before acceptance of work.

92. Accessibility. Transport infrastructure will be affected as in the narrower streets there is not

enough space for excavated soil to be piled off the road. The road itself may also be excavated

in places where there is no available land to locate pipes alongside. Traffic will therefore be

disrupted, and in some very narrow streets the whole road may need to be closed for short

periods. Potential impact is negative but short term and reversible by mitigation measures. The

construction contractor will be required to:(i)Plan pipeline work in consultation with the traffic

police; (ii) Conduct work during light traffic;(iii) Plan work such that trench excavation, pipe

laying, and refilling including compacting, at a stretch is completed in a minimum possible

time;(iv) Provide for immediate consolidation of backfilling material to desired compaction to

avoid future settlement risk - this will allow immediate road restoration and therefore will

minimize disturbance to the traffic movement;(v) Do not close the road completely, ensure that

work is conducted onto edge of the road; allow traffic to move on one line;(vi) In unavoidable

circumstances of road closure, provide alternative routes, and ensure that public is

informed about such traffic diversions;(viii) At all work sites public information/caution boards

shall be provided – information shall inter-alia include: project name, cost and schedule;

executing agency and contractor details; nature and schedule of work at that road/locality;

traffic diversion details, if any; entry restriction information; competent official’s name and contact for public complaints.

93. Socio-Economic – Income. Excavation will obstruct access to residences/commercial

building. Disruption of access to commercial establishments may affect livelihood. Since many

of the roads are narrow, construction activities may also obstruct traffic. The potential impacts

are negative and moderate but short-term and temporary. The construction contractor will be

required to:

(i) Leave space for access between mounds of excavated soil;

(ii) Provide wooden planks/footbridges for pedestrians and metal sheets for

vehicles to allow access across trenches to premises where

required;Consult affected businesspeople to inform them in advance when

work will occur;

94. Socio-Economic – Employment. Manpower will be required during the 24 months

construction stage. This can result to generation of contractual employment and increase

in local revenue. Thus potential impact is positive and long-term. The construction

contractor will be required to:

• Employ at least 50% of the labour force, or to the maximum extent, local persons

within the 2-km immediate area if manpower is available; and

• Secure construction materials from local market.

95. Occupational Health and safety. Workers need to be mindful of the occupational

77

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:

(i) Develop and implement site-specific Health and safety (EHS) Plan which will

include assures such as: (a) excluding public from the site; (b) ensuring all workers

are provided with and use Personal Protective Equipment; (c) EHS Training for

all site personnel; (d) documented procedures to be followed for all site activities;

and (e) documentation of work-related accidents;

(ii) Ensure that qualified first-aid can be provided at all times. Equipped first-aid

stations shall be easily accessible throughout the site;

(iii) Provide medical insurance coverage for workers;

(iv) Secure all installations from unauthorized intrusion and accident risks;

(v) Provide supplies of potable drinking water;

(vi) Provide clean eating areas where workers are not exposed to hazardous or

noxious substances;

(vii) Provide EHS 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;

(viii) 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;

(ix) Ensure the visibility of workers through their use of high visibility vests when

working in or walking through heavy equipment operating areas;

(x) Ensure moving equipment is outfitted with audible back-up alarms;

(xi) Mark and provide sign boards for hazardous areas such as energized electrical

devices and lines, service rooms housing high voltage equipment, 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

(xii) 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.

96. Noise Levels. The construction and excavation activities will certainly generate noise and

vibrations. The sensitive receptors are the general population in these areas. Noise will be

for a short term (about 2-3 days at each location) thus impact is negative, short-term, and

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

• Plan activities in consultation with PMU/PIU so that activities with the greatest potential

to generate noise are conducted during periods of the day which will result in least

disturbance;

• Provide prior information to the local public about the work schedule;

78

• Require horns not be used unless it is necessary to warn other road users or animals

of the vehicle’s approach;

• Ensure that there are no old and sensitive buildings that may come under risk due to

the use of pneumatic drills; if there is risk

• Minimize noise from construction equipment by using vehicle silencers, fitting

jackhammers with noise-reducing mufflers, and portable street barriers the sound

impact to surrounding sensitive receptor; and

• Maintain maximum sound levels not exceeding 80 decibels (dbA) when measured at a

distance of 10 m or more from the vehicle/s.

D. Potential Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures: Operation And

Maintenance Impacts

97. Operation and Maintenance of the water supply system will be carried out by Amla Nagar

Parishad directly or through an external operator. 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.

98. Recurrence of pipe bursting and leakage problems can be manage by the leak detection

and water auditing surveys. The ULB will be required to ensure that the leak detection and rectification time is minimized.

99. 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. Following are included in the subproject design to dispose the sludge and back wash:

100. Provision for recirculation system for filter 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.

101. 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.

102. Project benefitDuring the construction phase, there are likely to be positive impacts

through employment generation, increase in local revenue from the project activities. During

79

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 Betul-Bazar, Amla and Sarni 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.

VII.PUBLIC CONSULTATION AND INFORMATION DISCLOSURE

A. OVERVIEW

104. The active participation of stakeholders including local community, NGOs, and the

media in all stages of project preparation and implementation is essential for

successful implementation of the project. It will ensure that the subprojects are

designed, constructed, and operated with utmost consideration to local needs, ensures

community acceptance, and will bring maximum benefits to the people. Public

consultation and information disclosure is a must as per the ADB policy.

105. Most of the main stakeholders have already been identified and consulted during

preparation of this IEE, and any others that are identified during project

implementation will be brought into the process in the future. Primary stakeholders of

the subproject are: residents, shopkeepers and businesspeople who live and work

alongside the roads in which network improvements will be provided and near sites

where facilities will be built (WTP and water tanks), and government and utility

agencies responsible for provision of services in Sarni, (Forest Department, and

Madhya Pradesh Pollution Control Board). Secondary stakeholder are: NGOs and

CBOs working in the area, community representatives, beneficiary community in

general, government agencies, the executing and implementing agencies (UAED,

PMU and PIUs), Government of India and the ADB.

106. The public consultation and disclosure program is a continuous process throughout the

project implementation, including project planning, design and construction.

B. PUBLIC CONSULTATION

107. The public consultation and disclosure program is a continuous process throughout the

project implementation, including project planning, design and construction.

108. Consultation during ProjectPreparation:Institutional consultations were conducted

with the Governmental Departments such as PMU, Pollution Control Board, Public

Health Engineering Department, Water Resourced Department, ULB and Forest

Department etc. The project proposal is formulated in consultation with ULBs and suit

the requirements of the ULBs.

109. Focus-group discussions with affected persons and other stakeholders were conducted

to learn their views and concerns. A socio economic household survey has been

conducted in the town, covering sample households, to understand the household

characteristics, health status, and the infrastructure service levels, and also the

demand for infrastructure services. General public and the people residing along the

81

project activity areas were also consulted during visits to the project sites. Details of

stakeholder meeting is given in Appendix-1

110. It was observed that people are willing to extend their cooperation as the proposed

activities are proposed to enhance the infrastructure service levels and the living

standard of the public. The public expressed their concern regarding the nuisance and

disturbance (dust, road closure and traffic management activities).

111. Consultation duringconstruction:P r i o r to start of construction, ULB and PIU with

the assistance of PDMC will conduct information dissemination sessions at various

places and solicit the help of the local community, leaders/prominent for the project

work. At each ward/neighborhood level, focus group meetings will be conducted to

discuss and plan construction work with local communities to reduce disturbance and

other impacts.

112. A constant communication will be established with the affected communities to redress

the environmental issues likely to surface during construction phases and also

regarding the grievance redress mechanism. ULB/PIU and PDMC will organize public

meetings and will appraise the communities about the progress on the implementation

of EMP. Meeting will also be organized at the potential hotspots/sensitive locations

before and during the construction.

C. INFORMATION DISCLOSURE

113. Executive summary of the IEE will be translated in Hindi and made available at the

offices of PMU, PIU, Nagar Parishad offices, and also displayed on their notice boards.

Hard copies of the IEE will be accessible to citizens as a means to disclose the

document and at the same time creating wider public awareness. Electronic version of

the IEE in English and Executive Summary in Hindi will be placed in the official website

of the UAED, PMU after approval of the IEE by Government and ADB. Stakeholders will

also be made aware of grievance register and redress mechanism.

114. Public information campaigns to explain the project details to a wider population will be

conducted. Public disclosure meetings will be conducted at key project stages to inform

the public of progress and future plans. Prior to start of construction, the PMU/PIU will

issue Notification on the start date of implementation in local newspapers A board

showing the details of the project will be displayed at the construction site for the

information of general public.

115. Local communities will be continuously consulted regarding location of construction

camps, access and hauling routes and other likely disturbances during construction. The

road closure together with the proposed detours will be communicated via advertising,

pamphlets, radio broadcasts, road signage, etc.

VIII .GRIEVANCE READRESSMECHANISM

A. Project Specific Grievance Redress Mechanism

116. A program-specific grievance redress mechanism (GRM) shall be established to receive,

evaluate, and facilitate the resolution of AP’s concerns, complaints, and grievances about the social and environmental performance at the level of the project. The following GRM

provides a time-bound and transparent mechanism to voice and resolve social and

environmental concerns linked to the project.

117. A common GRM will be in place for social, environmental, or any other grievances related

to the project. The GRM will provide an accessible and trusted platform for receiving and

facilitating resolution of affected persons’ grievances related to the program. The multi- tier

GRM for the project is outlined below, each tier having time-bound schedules and with

responsible persons identified to address grievances and seek appropriate persons’ advice at each stage, as required. ULB-wide public awareness campaigns will ensure that

awareness on grievance redress procedures is generated through the campaign.

118. Who Can Complain A complaint may be brought by persons who are, or could be,

“directly, indirectly, materially, and adversely” affected by the project. A complaint can be submitted on behalf of the affected person/people by a representative, provided that he or

she identifies the affected person/people and includes evidence of the authority to act on

their behalf.

119. What the Grievance/Complain Should Contain Any concerns pertaining to safeguard

compliance - environment, involuntary resettlement, and indigenous people, design related

issues, compensation, service delivery or any other issues or concerns related to the

project. The complaint must contain name, date, address/contact details of the

complainant, location of the problem area, along with the problem.

120. Where to File a Complaint Complainants will have the flexibility of conveying

grievances/suggestions by dropping grievance redress/ suggestion forms in

complaints/suggestion boxes to be installed by project at respective Nagar Parishad

offices, PIU offices or by e-mail or by writing in a complaints register in the PIU offices or at

construction site offices.

121. How to File a Complaint The application should be precise and specific. The application

can be sent either by post or through electronic means or deliver personally. A sample

grievance form is at Appendix 21.

83

(ii) OnlineSystem-Grievancespertainingtotheimplementationoftheprojectcan

also befiled online at thewebsite ofUAHD/PMU orby e-mails.

122. Documentation: Documentation of the complaints is important and must contain

name of the complainant, date of receipt of the complaint, address/contact details of

the person, location of the problem area, and how the problem was resolved. PMU

with the support of PIU will have the overall responsibility for timely grievance redress,

and for registration of grievances, related disclosure, and communication with the

aggrieved party. All the documents made available to the public at the community

level (at ward offices) and will include information on the contact number, address and

contact person for registering grievances, and will be disseminated throughout the

project area by the PIU.

123. Grievance/problem redress through participatory process: Efforts must be made by

the PIU with the support of safeguard consultants to resolve problems amicably,

conflicts through participatory process with the community and the Nagar Parishads.

In case of grievances that are immediate and urgent in the perception of the

complainant, the Contractor, and supervision personnel from the PIU will provide the

most easily accessible or first level of contact for the quick resolution of grievances.

Contact phone numbers and names of the concerned staff and contractors, will be

posted at all construction sites at visible locations.

124. Following process will be followed:

(i) 1stlevelgrievance: Incaseofgrievancesthatareimmediateandurgentinthe perceptionof the

125. In case of any inter-departmental or inter-jurisdictional coordination required for

resolution of specific grievances, the PIU will refer the matter directly to the PMU for state-level or inter-departmental coordination and resolution, instead of the town-level GRC .The project GRM notwithstanding, an aggrieved person shall have access to the country's legal system at any stage, and accessing the country's legal system can run parallel to accessing the GRM and is not dependent on the negative outcome of the GRM. Alternatively, if the grievance is related to land acquisition, resettlement & rehabilitation4, the APs can approach the Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Authority (LARRA) of Madhya Pradesh, established under the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation, and Resettlement Act, 2013.

126. Record-keeping: PIU will keep records of grievance received, corrective actions taken and final outcome. The number of grievances recorded and resolved and the outcomes will be displayed/disclosed in the PIU office, ULB offices, and on the web.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

7 Grievance redress committee (GRC) will be formed at town-level with members composed of: ULB Chairperson, ULB CMO, Environmental Specialist of PMC, PIU Dy.PM and PIU Community Development Officer. In case of any complaints by IP or members of scheduled tribes, the PIU will include as special member, a representative of an independent local NGO involved in tribal welfare. Special invitees to hearing of IP complaints will include two representatives from affected IP community and the project IP NGO, if appointed for IPP implementation.

8 the Authority admits grievance only with reference to the LA and R&R issues under the new Act

IX. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

A. Environmental Management Plan

127. An environmental management plan (EMP) has been developed to provide mitigation measures to reduce all negative impacts to acceptable levels.

128. The EMP will guide the environmentally-sound construction of the subproject and ensure efficient lines of communication between 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

129. The contractor will be required to submit to PIU, 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.

130. 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.For civil works, the contractor will be required to (i) carry out all of the mitigation and monitoring measures set forth in the approved SEP; and (ii) implement any corrective or preventative actions set out in safeguards monitoring reports that the employer will prepare from time to time to monitor implementation of this IEE and SEP. The contractor shall allocate budget for compliance with these SEP measures, requirements and actions.

130. The following tables show the potential environmental impacts, proposed mitigation

measures and responsible agencies for implementation and monitoring.

131. The purpose of the environmental management plan (EMP) is to: ensure that the activities are undertaken in a responsible, non-detrimental manner following the measures and recommendations of the environmental assessment conducted for the project, monitor and report the on-site environmental performance; and to ensure that safety recommendations are complied with.

133. A copy of the EMP must be kept at work sites at all times. This EMP will be included in

86

the bid documents and will be further reviewed and updated during implementation. The EMP will 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 constitutes a failure in compliance.

134. For civil works, the contractor will be required to (i) carry out all of the mitigation and

monitoring measures set forth in the EMP; and (ii) implement any corrective or preventative actions set out in safeguards monitoring reports that the employer will prepare from time to time to monitor implementation of this IEE and EMP. The contractor shall allocate budget for compliance with these EMP measures, requirements and actions.

E. Monitoring and Reporting

E. Immediately after mobilization and prior to commencement of the works, the contractor will submit a compliance report to PIU that all identified pre-construction mitigation measures as detailed in the EMP are undertaken. Contractor should confirm that the staff for EMP implementation (EHS & Archeological supervisors) is mobilized. PMU with the assistance of the PDMC will review the report and permit commencement of works.

F. During construction, results from internal monitoring by the contractor will be reflected in their monthly EMP implementation reports to the PIU. ASO will review and advise contractors for corrective actions if necessary. Quarterly report summarizing compliance and corrective measures taken will be PMC field team at PIU and submitted to PMU (Appendix 13). During operation, the contractor will conduct management and monitoring actions as per the operation stage EMP, and submit to PMU and ULB a quarterly report on EMP implementation and compliance.

G. Based on monthly & quarterly reports and measurements, PMU will draft, review, and submit to ADB, 6-monthly semi-annual Environmental Monitoring Report (EMR). Once concurrence from the ADB is received the report will be disclosed in the MPUDC and PMU websites.

H. ADB will review project performance against the MPUSIP commitments as agreed in the legal documents. The extent of ADB‟s monitoring and supervision activities will be commensurate with the project's risks and impacts. Monitoring and supervising of social and environmental safeguards will be integrated into the project performance management system

F. EMP Implementation Cost

145. 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 2.73 million, which are to be covered by contractor costs.

X. CONCLUSIONAND RECOMMENDATION

146. The process described in this document has assessed the environmental impacts of all

elements of the Package 1B 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.

147. There are two important location and design aspects. First, the proposed water supply

schemes include design of new water sources, that include construction of Weir (for

Amla),and tapping raw water from Tapti River for Betul-Bazar town. Details of proposed

components of Betul town is separately attached.

148. For Betul-Bazar WSS, the most appropriate water source considered is Tapti River. A

bring water supply scheme is proposed for Betul town from Tapti River. weir proposed to

be constructed on Tapti River for Betul town and water will be to pump to WTP from Tapti

River. Weir was designed considering the water demand of Betul Town.

149. For Amla town there is only one important location and design aspects; i.e. the proposed

water supply schemes include design of new water sources, that include construction of

weir.No flow data available for these river as they are not gauged by WRD. Considering

the low water requirement of town (3.60 MLD ), and almost perennial nature of river (flows

for 7-8 months a year) with very high flows during monsoon, (as gathered from local

information), it is assessed to be unlikely to have any issue of source sustainability. To

cater to the no-flow period (3-4 months), small weir is proposed. These is small weir, with a

height of just 6 m above the river bed level (same as depth of river banks), thus confining

the submergence to river course itself. The main purpose of the weir is to recharge the

riverbed/groundwater, and not for direct abstraction from the storage. Storage is small and

there are no arrangements to change the height or gates to release or hold water, dam will

be filled at the first monsoon flow itself, and will continue to be full throughout (as no

abstraction, except the evaporation and infiltration losses), and the water coming from the

upstream will overflow freely. Therefore the change in flow regime due to these small

dams will be negligible on downstream users and on river eco system. The proposed

impoundment in fact is likely to benefit the environment through groundwater recharge and

propagation of aquatic life. Water quality is suitable for drinking water after conventional

treatment and disinfection, and there are no notable pollution sources. No negative

impacts thus envisaged.

150. For Sarni, Ground water level in Sarni is very low to supply the water in Town. Tawa river

is generally dry in summer season, so found not adequate to as water source. Satpura

reservoir is found adequate source for Sarni Water Supply Scheme due to its adequacy in

terms of quality as well qu75.43antity. After water analysis of Satpura Reservoir, it is found

that all the parameter is beyond the drinking water standard.Capacity of Reservoir is 75.43

118

MCM and our requirement is 8.43 MCM in ultimate Stage 2048. It is almost 9 times to the

requirement of ultimate Stage hence it is sufficient enough.

151. Potential negative impacts were identified in relation to both construction and operation of

the improved infrastructure. Mitigation measures have been developed in generic way to

reduce all negative impacts to acceptable levels. These were discussed with specialists

responsible for the engineering aspects, and as a result some measures have already

been included in the outline designs for the infrastructure. These include:

i. Locating all pipelines within the ROW of existing roads, to avoid the need to acquire land or relocate people;

ii. Locating pipelines on unused land adjacent to roads wherever possible, to avoid damaging roads and disrupting traffic and other activities.

152. This means that the number of impacts and their significance has already been reduced by amending the design .

153. Water source sustainability ,for Tapping on Raw Water Rising Main of Betul WSSfor

Betul Bazar has been reviewed based on the available data. Permission of water resources department for Amla and sarni town is a prerequisite for this project, and this needs to be obtained prior to invitation of bids for civil works. Water quality is appropriate for drinking water supply after treatment and disinfection.

154. 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 a similar amount of sand to support the sewer in the trenches; 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. Avoidance of work during at important tourist place during the peak tourist season is suggested.

155. 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. Application and handling of chlorine gas will involve certain risks, and appropriate measures are suggested for safe application.

156. 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.

157. The project’s grievance redressal mechanism will provide the citizens with a platform for redressal of their grievances, and describes the informal and formal channels, time frame, and mechanisms for resolving complaints about environmental performance.

119

158. The EMP will assist the PMU, PIU, PDMC and contractors in mitigating the environmental impacts, and guide them in the environmentally sound execution of the proposed project.

159. A copy of the EMP 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.

160. The project will benefit the general public by contributing to the long-term improvement of water supply and sewerage systems and community livability in towns. The potential adverse environmental impacts are mainly related to the construction period, which can be minimized by the mitigating measures and environmentally sound engineering and construction practices.

161. Therefore, as per ADB SPS, the project is classified as environmental category C and does not require further environmental impact assessment. However, to conform to government guidelines projects require (i) permission of WRD, GoMP for weirand Intake well construction and water abstraction from Bel river for Amla and water abstraction from reservoirs for BetulBazar and sarni town(ii) WTP requires Consent for Establishment (CFE) and Consent for Operation (CFO) from Madhya Pradesh Pollution Control Board. These permissions/approvals shall be obtained prior to invitation of bids for civil works.

Appendix 19: Sample Outline Spoils (construction waste) Management Plan

• The Spoil Management Plan should be site specific and be part of the monthly Construction

Management Plan.

• The contractor, in consultation with the PIU, has to find out appropriate location/s for the disposal

of the excess soil generated. The spoils should be deposited only at these sites.

• Further precautions need to be taken in case of the contaminated spoils

• The vehicle carrying the spoil should be covered properly.

• The spoils generating from each site should be removed on the same day or immediately after

the work is complete. The site / road should be restored to the original condition.

I. Spoils information

The spoil information contains the details like a) The type / material, b) Potential contamination by that

type, c) Expected volume (site / component specific), d) Spoil Classification etc.

II Spoils management

The Spoil Management section gives the details of a) Transportation of spoil b) disposal site details c)

Precautions taken d) Volume of contaminated spoil, if present, d) Suggested reuse of disposal of the spoil

III. Documentation

The volume of spoil generated (site specific, date wise), site disposed, reuse / disposal details should be

documented properly.

Appendix20: 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.

159

(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 A6 illustrates 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

160

D. Public awareness and notifications

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.

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

Review• Review construction schedule and methods

Traffic Re-Circulation

• Identify initial traffic recirculation and control policy

Traffic Diversions

• Identify routes for traffic diversions• Analyse adverse impact & mitigation at the detours

Full Road Colsures

• Begin community consultation for consensus• Finalise or determine alternate detours

Temporary parking

• Identify temporary parking (on and off -street )• Discuss with CMC, owner, community for use

Police Coordination

• Coordinate with theTraffic Police to enforce traffic and diversions

Install control devices

• Install traffic control devices (traffic cones, sgns, lightings, etc)

Awareness • Conduct campaigns, publicity, and notify public about street closure

Public

Redress

• Develop a mechanism to address public grievances regarding disruptons (traffic, utilities, and diversions)

161

(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

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,

162

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.
