1. INTRODUCTION

India has embarked on a 10-year highway transportation improvement program as a part of the nationalpolicy to globalize its economy. National Highways comprise about 2% of total road length in thecountry and carry over 40% of total traffic across the length and breadth of the country.

The National Highways Authority of India was constituted by an act of Parliament, the NationalHighways Authority of India Act, 1988. It is responsible for the development, maintenance andmanagement of National Highways. The Authority got operational in February 1995. National HighwaysAuthority of India (NHAI) is mandated to implement National Highways Detelopment Project(NHDP), which is India's largest ever highways project formulated to equip India with world-class roadswith uninterrupted traffic flow. The NHDP is a major initiative for capacity enhancement of NationalHighways and includes four/six laning of around 13,146 Km with a total cost of approximately Rs.54,000 crores.

1.1 The National Highway DevelopmentProgram

One of the major tasks mandated to NHAI is the implementation of National Highways DevelopmentProject (NHDP) comprising of Golden Quadrilateral, North -South corridor and East-West corridor. Theimprovement of National Highways under NHDP marks the beginning of a new era. GoldenQuadrilateral (GQ) is formed by existing highway corridors between the four metropolitan cities- Delhi,Kolkata, Mumbai, Chennai, which are the hub of the economy for the country. The North-South andEast-West Corridors link Srinagar to Kanyakumari and Silchar to Porbandar respectively. The totallength of this project is about 13,252 Km. The roads under NHDP are being upgraded/strengthened to 4lane/61ane carriageways to facilitate high speed uninterrupted vehicular traffic.

In addition to the projects under NHDP, the NHAI is also currently responsible for about 1,000 km ofhighways connecting major ports & also on National Highways 8A, 24, 6, 45 & 27. The total length ofhighways with NHAI currently is around 14,162 km.

1.1.1 Golden Quadrilateral

One of the two components of the National Highway Development Program, the Golden Quadrilateralproject aims at connecting the four metropolitan cities of Delhi-Kolkata-Chennai-Mumbai and has a totallength of around 5,846 Km. The Golden Quadrilateral (GQ) scheme comprises of the followingstretches:

* NH 2 Delhi - Kolkata: 1,453 Km

* NH 4,7 & 46 Chennai - Mumbai: 1,290 Km

* NH 5 & 6 Kolkata - Chennai: 1,684 Km

* NH8 Delhi - Mumbai: 1,419 Km

1.1.2 North South East West (NSEW)Corridor

Apart from the Golden Quadrilateral scheme, the NHDP comprises of the North-South and East-WestCorridors with a total length of around 7,300 Km connecting Srinagar to Kanyakumari (NS corridor)including Salem to Cochin Spur and Silchar to Porbandar (EW corridor). The current project comprisesof the four laning of the Lucknow-Muzaffarpur section of the NSEW project on the East West Corridor.

1.1.3 The Lucknow Muzaffarpur NationalHighway Project (LMNHP)

The Lucknow - Muzaffarpur National Highway Project (LMNHP) is a part of the East West corridor fromSilchar to Porbandar. The LMNHP envisions improvement (four laning) of the section of NH-28 betweenLucknow and Muzaffarpur. NH-28 originates at Lucknow, the capital city of Uttar Pradesh and passesthrough important towns and has a total length of about 628 Km. The highway links important centreslike Ayodhya, Gorakhpur, Kushi Nagar, Gopalganj, Muzaffarpur and ends at Barauni, an Industrial townin Bihar. This section of NH - 28 currently carries on an average 19,000 to 22,000 PCUs1. Asubstantial portion of the traffic belongs to the goods traffic amounting to about 52 to 55% of the totaltraffic volume. The traffic volume on most part of the section is expected to grow up to 150,000 to159,000 PCUs at the end of design period of 30 years. To cater to such volume of traffic, the upgradingand four laning is required urgently. Besides improving the traffic scenario, the increased road capacityand improved pavements can reduce travel time and lower the cost of vehicle use, while increasingaccess to market, jobs, education, and health services and reduce transport costs for both freight andpassengers.

The originating point of NH-28 at Lucknow is connected with NH-25 (Jhansi - Kanpur - Lucknow Link),NH-24 (Lucknow - Barelly - New Delhi Highway) & NH- 6 (Lucknow - Varanasi Highway linking NH-2at Varanasi). National Highway No. 86 (Chapra - Siwan - Gopalganj) meets NH 28 at Km. 387 atGopalganj just prior to the start of the Project Stretch.

1.1.4 Current Project

The current project, from Ayodhya to Muzaffarpur, has a total length of 357.063 Km. It is comprised ofthree consultancy packages C-ll/1, C-l1l/2 and C-Ill/5 with a total of nine contract packages. Thecontract packages with their start and end points are given in the Table 1.1 below:

2. ENVIRONMENTALSETTING ANDIMPACTS SUMMARY

This chapter documents the major findings of the Environmental Impact Assessment process along withthe baseline conditions that have been used to formulate the Environmental Management Planincluding the mitigation and enhancement measures. The micro level data have been obtained fromwithin a width of 30m either side of the existing centre line and the macro level data, as per the MOEFguidelines for conducting EIA, have been collected from within 7 km radius of the project corridor.

2.1 Meteorology

The package stretch is located in humid sub-tropical region with marked monsoon effects. The climatehas distinguished features like hot summers, warm humid rainy season and cold winters. The summerseason is usually dry with high temperature ranging between 40-44 degree Celsius. The averagetemperature in the region during the winters is around 16 degree Celsius with temperature rangingbetween 3-20 degree Celsius. The following table shows the maximum and minimum temperatures inthe major districts falling under the package:

The predominant wind direction in the stretch is easterly and westerly throughout from October to Juneand shifts easterly or southeasterly from July to September. The average wind velocity is 5 km/hr. Theregion on an average records a relative humidity of 74%. Annual rainfall varies between 1200 mm to1300 mm out of which around 50-60 mm of rain occurs in January to February and 50-60 mm of rain inOctober to December. The rainy season generally spans June to September. The maximum andminimum rainfall in the months of June to September is given in Table 2.2

Since above mentioned months are of heavy downpour, thus the data would be useful to the contractorfor planning measures required to prevent soil erosion, water logging etc.

The project is expected to bring a slight change in micrometeorology by raising daytime temperature onthe road surface and soils with felling of trees. The impact is categorized as low adverse.

2.2 Physical Environment

2.2.1 Physiography

The topography of the entire section of the project stretch is open, plain and rolling. The average slopeof the terrain is around less than 5 cm per Km and the fall of the slope is generally towards Southeastdirection. The impacts of the project on topography include:

* Disfiguration and change in existing profile of the land due to widening and strengtheningof the existing road and construction of new bypass.

* Disturbance to geological setting/profile of the earth strata due to quarrying.

* Uncontrolled diggings of borrow pits resulting in water accumulation and breeding ofmosquitoes causing vector disease.

2.2.2 Land Use

The predominant land use in the area is agriculture with unirrigated cropland and small grasslands.Mainly three crops are produced in a year viz Rabi, Kharif & Jayad. Paddy, wheat, sugarcane, potatoand maize are the main crops. The arable land comprises around 80 percent. The project corridor fallswithin Type-IV seismic zone with moderate to high seismic coefficient but the project is not expected tohave any impact on the seismic stability of the area.

2.2.3 Soil

The soils occurring in the entire project have wide variations especially in drainage and texture.Dominantly, the soils are very deep, imperfectly to poorly drained, fine-loamy to fine in texture and areneutral to slightly alkaline in nature. The expected impacts of the project on the receiving environmentinclude soil erosion, loss of productive soil, soil contamination and soil compaction and loosening oftopsoil etc.

2.2.4 Ambient Air Quality

The air quality in the project region is generally good, as most of the project stretch comprises of ruraland pristine environs. The air pollution hotspots are primarily the congested built-up areas and themajor intersections along with sensitive receptor locations such as schools, colleges and hospitals.

* During construction, sources such as large construction equipment would be responsiblefor short- term impact.

* Site levelling, clearing of trees, laying of asphalt, construction of bridges, procurementand transport of raw materials from quarries and borrow pits, are likely to degrade airquality due to generation of dust.

* Dust would be generated from haulage of materials and detouring of traffic on non-permanent temporary pavement etc.

* It is proposed to use fly ash for highway embankment construction from Tanda and KantiThermal Power Plants. Fly ash transportation may result increase in suspendedparticulate matter concentration during construction if adequate measures are not takenduring its transportation, dumping and use.

* Hot mix-plants will substantially contribute to the deterioration of air quality due toemission of oxides of sulphur, Hydrocarbons and particulate matter.

* During the construction period, temporary impacts include generation of odour fromconstruction activities as well as from the construction camps.

* Dust would be generated from haulage of materials and detouring of traffic on temporarypavement etc.

* During operation phase, marginal increase in the air pollutant levels is expected due tothe increased speed and volumes of vehicular traffic on the project road.

2.2.5 Water Resources

Surface water bodies include natural drainage channels (rivers, stream and canals) and static waterbodies. Besides, a large number of irrigation channels of Gandak Project, several tube-wells are therein the area for irrigation purposes.

The major flowing surface water bodies intersecting the project highway include rivers Saryu and Tehriat proposed Ayodhya Bypass, Mayderma at Ch. 168.2, Kwano at Km 194, Katnaiya at Km 213.2, Amiat Km 204.4, Little Gandak at Km. 311, Herawati at Km. 317.3, Gaghi at Km. 328, Jarahi Nalla at Km.346, Daha at Km. 374, Gandak at Km. 423, Big Gandak canal at km. 443 and Danda (Tributary of BurhiGandak) at Km. 489. Besides these, a large number of irrigation channels of Gandak Project intersectthe highway stretch.

2.2.5.1 Drainage

The project involves widening and strengthening of the existing highway and therefore, no significantimpacts have been envisaged on drainage. The impacts can be summarised as:

* Change in drainage pattern of the land and increased incidence and duration of floodsdue to obstruction of natural drainage courses by the road embankment.

* Increased incidence and duration of floods due to obstruction of natural drainage coursesby the road embankment.

* Constriction of drainage channels due to bridge construction leading to loss of aquaticlife.

* Change due to filling of existing drainage courses during earth filling.

* Improper management of drainage during operation phase may lead to filthyenvironment.

2.2.5.2 Water Quality

The water quality is very good in the region and ground water forms a major source of water forconstruction. The impacts on water resources include deterioration of water quality and loss of waterresources. The impacts can be summarised as:

* Disposal of solid and liquid wastes from labour camps, fuel and lubricant spills or leaksfrom construction vehicles, pollution from fuel storage and distribution sites and that fromhot- mix plants is likely to affect water quality.

* Use of water for construction activities such as compaction, suppression, concrete worketc. may place a demand upon local water supplies.

* Loss of water resources due to complete or partial filling up of ponds and other waterbodies.

* Slight increase in siltation in major bridge locations.

* During construction and operational stages due to increase in impervious surfacesediment load in the runoff from construction sites, increase in the turbidity of receivingstreams/water bodies.

In the operation stages pollutants from vehicles and accidental fuel spills may also maketheir way into receiving environment resulting in contamination of water bodies.

2.3 Noise Levels

The existing noise levels at the commercial locations, junctions and built-up areas in the project stretchmostly exceed the daytime noise standards. The nighttime standards are mostly met at all the locations.The high noise levels during the daytime can be attributed to the traffic bottlenecks created byinadequate carriageway width of the existing highway,

* There is a likely increase in noise levels during construction stage due to movement ofconstruction machinery and construction activities.

* In densely populated areas e.g. town ships and markets along the road the noise levelswill be higher during construction.

* Higher noise levels will also be observed when there is a traffic bottleneck (or a high mixof slow and fast moving vehicles) or when the speed of traffic stream is slow and idling ofvehicles.

* During the operation stage of the project, due to reduction of vehicular engine noise (as aresult of reduced congestion, smoother flow of traffic), vehicular body noise (as a resultof reduced development roughness) and reduction of blowing of horns would invariablybring the noise levels further down. Though relative noise levels will come down with'with project' scenario, noise levels will exceed permissible levels at sensitive receptorlocations.

2.4 Biological Environment

2.4.1 Flora and Fauna

There is a significant loss of flora expected due to the project and there are no endangered speciesfound within the project impact zone. The flora impacted is primarily the roadside trees planted as partof Social Forestry and fauna impacted is primarily domesticated animals.

* The main impact on flora involves the removal of trees and grubbing of vegetative coverfor construction and a clear zone within the Right of the Way (RoW). There are 1,02,091trees in the ROW, out of which 57,532 trees will be felled.

* The impacts on flora may include loss of trees and canopies, compaction of vegetation,pollution and dust accumulation on vegetation.

* The number of trees affected has been calculated as per the best alternative decided forwidening the highway taking into account minimum land acquisition, minimumdisturbance to utility services and other features and least impact on the environment.

* The most significant impact of the proposed project will be removal of some old trees ofBargad, Neem, Pipal, Imli, Sisham, Arjun, Mango, Chilbil, Pakaria and Ashok. However,some of these trees have already lived their life and are showing signs of decay. Further,some of the trees are situated at the edge of the carriageway and are hazardous to thetraffic. In view of the loss of roadside plantation, compensatory afforestation has beenproposed @ 1:2, that is, for every tree felled two trees need to be planted as per theForest (Conservation) Act, 1980.

2.5 Social Environment

2.5.1 Human Use Value

2.5.1.1 Cultural Properties

Archaeological Properties

Under the Project Influence Zone, one of the principal centres of Buddhist pilgrimage, at Kushinagar, issituated at a distance of 400 m at Km. 317. The Site is protected under the Archaeological Survey ofIndia and the State Archaeological Department. This is the place where Lord Buddha left his corporealself and attained Nirvana. Lots of tourists visit this place from different parts of the country as well asfrom abroad, throughout the year.

At Fazilnagar (km 334), one ancient Buddhist mount (Stupa) is located within 300 m of the road. Thissite seems to have been missed out from the list of archeologically important sites identified in theDetailed Project Report. This site is 'protected' (since 1920) and ASI has recently completed fencing ofthe entire site. Construction of a boundary wall (by CPWD) will also start soon. These steps were feltnecessary for conservation and protection of this national monument. .As the site is located within 300m of the proposed road, clearance from ASI, as per " the Ancient Monuments and Archeological Sitesand Remains Act, 1958 (amended in 1992)" would be necessary before any construction activity starts.

There are other sites in the project stretch protected under the Archaeological Survey of India and theState Archaeological Department. As such all these sites are situated at more than 100 m. from existinghighway and the ASI clearance is not required. The same has also been confirmed by Mr. A.C. Tripathi,Conservator, Archaeological Survey Department, Kushinagar.

Roadside Religious StructuresThere are a total of 200 temples, 59 Hindu shrines and 19 Mazar/Mosques built up in the entire stretchof the project highway located within 30 m of central line of the existing road on either side.

These cultural properties require shifting and relocation. Public consultation in details has been carriedout for relocation & shifting of these cultural properties outside the RoW. However, efforts have been

made to protect the sensitive cultural properties by shifting the highway alignment on other side as faras technically feasible.

Schools and Hospitals

There are a number of schools, colleges and hospitals that lie in the vicinity of the highway and arelikely to be impacted. The exact nature and extent of the impact has been studied under the SA , whichalso gives the mitigation measures. The details of schools and hospitals in the project stretch are givenin the EIA report.

2.6 Summary of Impacts of Project

The project will provide easier free flow of traffic between Ayodhya and Muzaffarpur. The improvedconnectivity will bring prosperity to these economically under developed regions. The proposed bypasswill also decongest already congested cities such as Ayodhya. There will also be adverse impacts ofproject relating to the hydrology, drainage, increased pollution load and break in landscape. There willbe increased strain on environmentally sensitive receptors, consumption of (non renewable) resources,and increased pollution loads during construction period. The adverse impacts will also includevehicular pollution in the area. The assessment of adverse Environmental Impacts in detail has beenthe subject of Environmental Impacts assessment study. Table 2.1 summarizes the identifiedenvironmental impacts of the Project.

4. ENVIRONMENTALMONITORINGREPORTING ANDIMPLEMENTATION

The monitoring programme is devised to ensure effective implementation of the EMP. The monitoringprogramme contains monitoring plan for all performance indicators, reporting formats and necessarybudgetary provisions. Monitoring plan for performance indicators and reporting system is presented inthe following sub sections. Budgetary provisions are presented in Chapter 5.

4.1 Performance Indicators

Physical, biological and environmental management components identified as of particular significancein affecting the environment at critical locations have been suggested as Performance Indicators (PIS).The Performance Indicators shall be evaluated under three heads as:

. Environmental condition indicators to determine efficacy of environmental managementmeasures in control of air, noise, water and soil pollution.

. Environmental management indicators to determine compliance with the suggestedenvironmental management measures.

. Operational performance indicators have also been devised to determine efficacy and utilityof the proposed mitigation measures.

The Performance Indicators and monitorng plans prepared for proposed projects are presented in Table 4.1

4.3 Reporting System

Reporting system for the suggested monitoring program operates at two levels as:

. Reporting for environmental condition indicators and environmental management indicators

* Reporting for operational performance indicators at the PIU level.

Contractor and construction supervision consultants operate the reporting system for environmentalcondition and environmental management indicators. The Environmental cell of PIU will operate thereporting system for environmental management operation performance indicators. The PIU will see thetargets for each activity envisaged in the EMP beforehand and all reports will be against these targets.Contractor will report to the environmental expert of construction supervision consultants, on theprogress of the implementation of environmental conditions and management measures as per themonitoring plans. The environmental expert of supervision consultants will in turn report to the PIU on aquarterly basis which will be reviewed and forwarded by the PIU to the World Bank. The quarterlyreports of the EMP will form an integral part of the 'Quarterly Progress Reports' that are to be regularlysubmitted to the Bank. A detailed reporting system for all the Performance Indicators has beendeveloped and is presented in Appendix 4. Reporting formats for contractors have been prepared,which will form the basis of monitoring, by the environmental expert of supervision consultants and/orthe environmental cell as required.

In addition to these formats, to ensure that the environmental provisions are included at every activity ofthe implementation by the contractor, it is suggested that the approval of the environmental personnelof the supervision consultants is required in the 'Request for Application to Proceed" or other similarreporting formats used by the constructor. These will not only ensure that the environmental provisionare addressed but also link the satisfactory compliance to environmental procedures prior to approval ofthe Interim Payment Certificate (IPC) by the supervision consultants. The activities by the contractorthat can impact the environment will be identified based on discussions between the environmentalspecialist of the PIU, team leader and the environmental personnel of the supervision consultants. Anew Reporting system has been proposed in the EIA based on use of Intranet and Internet computerapplication systems. Should it be developed and tested within the timeline for the implementation of theproject, it will be brought to use as per NHAI directions.

The decisions will be communicated to the contractor. Table 4.3 gives detailed monitoring and reportingsystem in current practice:

Annexure IFly ash Handling and Management

Technical Aspects

Following parameters need to be carefully tested and achieved before the usage of fly ash for roadconstruction purpose. Amongst the following, the parameters of fineness, lime reactivity and sulphitecontent are generally found to be within the range for Indian fly ashes. The parameters of moisturecontent and sand replacement though need to be carefully assessed and worked upon. Indian fly ashesare generally available in the form of slurry (wet form) and hence the moisture content needs to bebrought down to the required levels before usage for construction purpose. Also the criteria of sandreplacement should be carefully managed by the contractor since it is critical for provision of strength tothe construction work.

TABLE: SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS OF FLY ASH CHARACTERISTICS FOR ROAD CONSTRUCTION

S.No Parameters Requirements for road construction

1. Fineness (sq.cm/gm) 3200

2. Lime Reactivity (Kg/sq.cm) 40

3. Moisture Content 15-30%

4. Percent replacement by fly ash in sand/soil 30-50%

5. Sulphite 2.75%

Fly ash and cover should be spread in layers of uniform thickness over the entire width of theembankment preferably by mechanical means and finished by motor grader. The motor grader bladeshall have hydraulic control so as to achieve the specified slope and grade. The cover soil and fly ashshould be laid simultaneously to ensure confinement of fly ash. Fly ash can be compacted usingvibratory or static rollers. Towed or self-propelled vibratory rollers are recommended. Two passeswithout vibration followed by 6 to 10 passes would be sufficient to compact individual layers.Regardless of the equipment used, fly ash must be compacted as early as possible after spreading.Smaller vibratory rollers with dead weights of 1 to 1.5 tonnes perform well on loose lifts of the order of10-15 cm. Medium weight rollers with dead weights in the range 6-10 tons, provide satisfactorycompaction for loose left thickness of about 25cm. When vibratory roller of dead weight 8-10 ton isused, loose lift thickness upto 40 cm can be adopted if site trials show satisfactory compaction. Whencompaction is carried out using only static roller of 8-10 ton weight, loose layer thickness should notexceed 20 cm. Clods or hard lumps in cover soil shall be broken to have a maximum size of 50 mm.

Management Aspects

Fly ash is usually delivered to the construction site in covered dump trucks to minimize loss of moistureand avoid dust problem. Pond ash generally contains enough moisture to prevent dusting, and mayeven contain excess moisture to create spillage during transport. Periodic inspection and lifting ashfrom relatively dry areas of pond would be necessary in such cases. The optimal moisture content of30-40% is required during transportation of fly ash to avoid dust generation from dry fly ash andexcessive spillage from wet fly ash on land.

Fly ash being a very fine material gets air borne easily and causes dust nuisance. Dust may also be asafety hazard and cause to environmental pollution. To avoid this, fly ash must be kept moist andtransported in covered dump trucks.

Fly ash may occasionally require onsite temporary stockpiling and in such cases adequate precautionsshould be taken to prevent dust nuisance by spraying water on stockpiles at regular intervals. Thecontractor shall take care that fly ash when needs to be stockpiled or mixed shall be dumped directly onthe embankment to be constructed and not on soil.

The surface of the fly ash stockpile may also be covered with tarpaulins or a thin layer of soil or othergranular material not subject to dusting.

The contractor shall take care that fly ash is graded and properly sloped (suggested slope is 1:2 forstockpiling of fly ash) at the end of each working day.

Traffic movements may be restricted to those areas which are kept moist, to prevent tyres of passingvehicles dispersing ash into the air.

Comfort and safety of occupants shall beprovided for by adequate heating, lighting, ventilation or insulation when necessary to reduceexcessive heat.

Facility Design

Detailed studies of alternate systems of development have been examined. Where the habitation is tostay for a limited duration and eventually the site has to be cleared, the system of construction isproposed to be of a 'knock down' type, which is dismantled, packed, moved to another site and re-erected. All buildings are proposed to be single storeyed.

Adequate centralized open spaces, in layout, have been provided for present and future use. Alldesigns have been suggested keeping in view the economy of space, multiple use of enclosed space,and uniformity of construction while, at the same time, breaking monotony of style and providing anappropriate ambiance. The layout is conceived as a flexible development and can accommodate apopulation of varying from 200-800 workers.

Where the consideration is to develop the construction yard with alternative for future re-use by thelocal community, a more conventional style of brick and mortar construction may be substituted for theconstruction system proposed.

Residential Facilities

Men a) Compartmentalised, well-ventilated enclosures each accommodatingfour beds.i) With Central common storageii) With individual lockable storage

b) In compartmentalised barrack format with individual space for storageand a table.

c) In the form of bunk beds.

Annexure VIGuidelines for Borrow Area

The contractor will finalize the borrow area locations and will get approval from the EnvironmentalExpert of supervision consultant. The borrowing operation will not be carried out in cultivable lands,unless and until it is agreed by the Environmental Expert of Supervision Consultants that there is nosuitable uncultivable land in the vicinity for borrowing, or there are private land owners willing to allowborrowing in their fields.Borrow areas will be finalized based on the following criteria:

* Sufficient quantity of suitable soil is available from the borrow pit* The borrow areas are close to the proposed alignment road as far as possible* The loss of productive and fertile agricultural soil is minimum* There is minimum loss of vegetation

The contractor will ensure that the excavation from identified borrow area will be directed by followingprinciples:

Borrow areas located in non cultivable lands

1. Borrowing of earth will be carried out up to a depth of 1.0 m from the existing ground level.2. Borrowing of earth will not be done continuously throughout the stretch3. Ridges of not less than 8 m width will be left at intervals not exceeding 300 m4. Small drains will be cut through the ridges, if necessary, to facilitate drainage.5. The slope of the edges will be maintained not steeper than 1:4 (vertical: horizontal)

Borrow areas located in cultivated lands

1. The contractor will obtain the prior permission of the Environmental Expert of SupervisionConsultants.

2. The preservation of topsoil will be carried out in a stockpile3. A 15 cm top soil will be stripped off from the borrow pit and this will be stored in stockpiles in

a designated area for height not exceeding 2 m and side slopes not steeper than 1:2(vertical: horizontal)

4. The depth of borrow pits will not be more than 30 cm after stripping the 15 cm top soil aside.

Borrow areas near settlements

1. Borrow pit location will be located at least 0.75 km from villages and settlements. Ifunavoidable, the pit will not be dug for more than 30 cm and drains will be cut to facilitatedrainage.

2. Borrow pits located in such locations will be re-developed immediately after borrowing iscompleted. If spoils are dumped, that will be covered with a layer of stockpiled topsoil inaccordance with compliance requirements with respect to MoEF/UPPCB guidelines.

The contractor will facilitate inspection, supervision and monitoring of all borrow areas by the

Environmental Expert of supervision Consultants and PIU, NHAI and fulfill all environmentalcompliance. Any non-compliance will be the Contractor's liability.

Before starts up of activity in borrow area, the contractor will consult the owner of the land, prepare areport as per the reporting format given in Appendix-2B. The contractor will make an agreement in

writing with owner and collect necessary clearances and permissions from Environmental Expert ofSupervision Consultants before starting work.

Redevelopment Plan of Borrow Areas

A redevelopment plan will also be prepared by the contractor before starting the work and will be

approved by the Environmental Expert of Supervision Consultants. The redevelopment plan will include

the following:

* Description of the borrow area including dimensions and area to be filled* Assessment of baseline conditions that include soil type, distribution, landuse vegetation

cover and slope aspects• Time schedule of implementation Details of monitoring plan

Redevelopment of borrow areas will be taken up in accordance with the plans approved by theEnvironmental Expert of Supervision Consultants Preferable redevelopment of used up portions will

start simultaneously.

The contractor will keep record of photographs of various stages i.e. before using materialsfrom the location (Pre-project) for the period of borrowing activities (Construction phase) andafter rehabilitation (post development phase) to ascertain the pre-post borrowing status of thearea.

The Environmental Expert of Supervision Consultants will regularly inspect these areas (to checkborrowing and redevelopment activities) at a frequency specified in monitoring planBorrow areas might be used for redevelopment based on area available, location and the writtenconsent of the owner with option of redeveloping it as fish pond.

In that case, such borrow area will be photographed after their post use restoration and EnvironmentExpert of Supervision Consultants will certify the post use redevelopment.

Guidelines for Management I Rehabilitation Plan for Quarry

GeneralThe contractor is required to take quarry material only from licensed quarries. In the case of existingquarries the contractor through the engineer's representative will have to ensure that all actions in thesequarries are in accordance with the environmentally sound and acceptable manner.In case the contractor establishes additional quarries and dedicated crusher plants, the contractor has to ensurethat all actions are in accordance with the environmental requirements.In the case of borrow areas Contractor need to specify a detailed arrangement including the validity with owner ofthe land.

Plan Required for Borrow / Quarry Areas

The contractor needs to develop a Borrow and Quarry area management plan providing at least thefollowing details:

* Name, location and ownership of the borrow or quarry area;

* Existing land use of the area (including the access road to be developed) to be quarried;

* Approximate quantity of the material available;

* The number of trees and the species of the trees to be removed;

* Total area involved;

* Arrangement with the owner;

* Whether purchased or leased;

* A statement from the owner saying the actual arrangement (not in terms of exact monitorycompensation) with him is agreeable for him;

* The exact restoration plan indicating the number of trees that will be planted;

* The action plan for leveling and landscaping in order to bring the area in conformity to theneighboring land uses; and

* The access roads rehabilitation.

The objective of the rehabilitation programme, is to return the quarry /borrow pit sites to a safe andsecure area which the general public should be able to safely enter and enjoy. Securing borrow pits/quarry sites in a stable condition should be a fundamental requirement of the rehabilitation process.This could be achieved by filling the quarry / borrow pit floor to approximately the access road level.Quarries and borrow pits will be backfilled with rejected construction wastes and will be given avegetative cover. If this is not possible, then excavation slopes will be smoothed and depression will befilled in such a way that it looks more or less like the original ground surface.During works execution, the contractor shall ensure preservation of trees during piling of materials;spreading of stripping material to facilitate water percolation and allow natural vegetation growth; re-establishment of previous natural drainage flows; improvement of site appearance; digging of ditches tocollect runoff; and maintenance of roadways where a pit or quarry is declared useable water source forlivestock or people nearby. Once the works are completed, and at own expense 'the contractor shallrestore the environment around the work site to its original splits.The quarry or borrow pit immediate surroundings should be developed as a low maintenance reserve,with significant areas of native trees and shrubs and areas of longer grass and tussocks forming the
