A. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Resettlement Plan (RP) for the Contract titled “Rehabilitation of Selected 10 km Sewer Lines and Conditional

Assessment of 125 km of Sewer Lines within Colombo Municipal Council Area” was approved by the ADB in

September 2013. Laying a new sewer M26-ADB1 starting from the Sri Saddarma Mawatha and Baseline Road

junction at Maligawatte to the Maligawatta Pump Station is a subcomponent of the said Contract. Involuntary

Resettlement activities related to this subcomponent, as per the site conditions and construction plans prevailed in

2013 were explained in the approved RP. However, due to unforeseen and unavoidable situations, the

construction plan for pipe laying along the Mallikarama Road section of the M26-ADB1 sewer line had to be

changed. This Supplementary Resettlement Plan (SRP- 4) for M26 sub-component is prepared to accommodate

the temporary resettlement of two families due to construction related impacts (noise, dust, and restrictions at the

entrance).

The RP approved in 2013 identified only one household (HH) as the directly affected for relocation due to M26-

ADB1 construction. The said household was located in Mallikarama Road Dematagoda. This family was resettled

at “Laksada Sewana” housing scheme at Salamulla, Kolonnawa in 2016 before the commencement of construction work along Mallikarama Road in accordance with the RP. As per the original resettlement plan it

was to temporarily demolish a house and rebuild in same place after finishing of the construction works as agreed

with the affected parties and compensation package includes cost of the construction of the house, cost for

moving out to a rented place for twelve months, cost of moving the house-hold items, etc. Total

resettlement budge was Rs 1.612 million. However, during construction as per the alignment of the M26-

ADB1 sewer line design team decided to relocate shaft number 6 on the same place as of the present location

of the house. Therefore, possibility of the reconstruction of the house at same place was gone and during

discussion of the Aps they have mentioned that they may not allowed to rebuild house at the same place

due to land not belongs to them therefore they have also agreed to relocate at newly constructed

apartment at Sallamulla, Kollonawa by URP with the other compensation package on resettlement and

resettlement budget has been increased up to Rs.4.32 million. Therefore, the project prepared a

Supplementary Resettlement Plan (SRP-1) as an amendment to the resettlement plan for M26-ADB1 prepared

in 2016.

During the construction further 10 households which were situated on encroached lands along the Railway

Quarters Road at Maligawatta had to be relocated to allow for construction. These ten households were earlier

earmarked for resettlement by the Urban Development Authority (UDA) well before the commencement of pipe

laying as part of the urban regeneration program of the government. It did not materialize on time. Therefore the

project had to take action to resettle the said 10 households. These 10 encroached families also have been resettled

by the project at Kollonnawa, Slamulla “Laksada Sewana” housing scheme. For this purpose the project prepared

a Supplementary Resettlement Plan (SRP – 2) and obtained the approval from the Ministry of Provincial Councils

and Local Government and the ADB in April 2017.

The Third supplementary Resettlement plan (SRP-3) approved in 2019 to assist to temporary resettlement of three

families living in two houses for the M26 sub-component due to changes of pipe alignment of the M26 in the

Mallikarama Road. As a result of finalized alignment, one Jacking Shaft needs to be constructed right in front of

two houses. This shaft obstructs the entrances of the two houses and raised health and safety issues to the

occupants.

This is the fourth Supplementary Resettlement Plan (SRP-4) for the M26 sub-component. Through SRP-4, two

families living in one house next to shaft number 4 (No 60/3, Mallikarama Road) will be relocated for six months

considering the inconveniences caused by construction activities such as noise, dust, and safety. The families

which are affected by construction works at M26-ADB1 sewer has requested and agreed to temporarily move out

and stay in the rented in houses during construction works. The compensation package of the temporary

6

resettlement is developed after comprehensive consultation of APs and following the NIRP (2001) and ADB

Resettlement Policy. The compensation costs are calculated based on the market rates. PMU will implement the

RP with the assistance of the Project Consultant and the Contractor. Affected parties are adequately informed of

the grievance redress mechanism, and details of the Contact persons are provided to them to discuss issues related

to RP implementation. The APs have agreed to the proposal and given letter of consent for the resettlement

agreement. Total cost of temporary resettlement budget is Rs. 510,000.00.

B. INTRODUCTION

The Greater Colombo Wastewater Management Project (GCWMP) has been designed to improve the urban

environment, public health, and quality of life for urban and suburban residents in Colombo through improved

wastewater management in Greater Colombo. The Project has three components: (i) upgrading sewerage

infrastructure, (ii) strengthening institutional and operational capacity, and (iii) project management and

implementation support. The first component involves physical construction work. The physical work is mainly

for the upgrading of existing sewerage infrastructure and it is a mix of rehabilitation work and new construction.

The physical work is divided into three subcomponents (four Contracts): (1) rehabilitation of main sewerage

system (pumping stations and pumping mains); (2) rehabilitation of sewer lines (gravity sewers and one force

main), and (3) rehabilitation of two ocean outfalls. Rehabilitation of sewer lines involves two Contracts. These

two Contracts are:

1. Rehabilitation of Selected 10 km Sewer Lines and Condition Assessment of 125 km of Sewer Lines

within Colombo Municipal Council Area

2. Upgrading of Wanathamulla Gravity Sewer Network for Colombo Municipal Council

This Supplementary Resettlement Plan is related to the Contract titled “Rehabilitation of Selected 10 km Sewer Lines and Condition Assessment of 125 km of Sewer Lines within Colombo Municipal Council Area.” It includes six sewer lines for rehabilitation (FIG. 1). Although the term rehabilitation is used in the Contract, in reality, new

sewer lines were laid in parallel to the existing sewers. The existing sewers were made to act as branch sewers or

laterals to the new sewer lines.

C. SCOPE OF RESETTLEMENT

M26 is one of the six sewer lines under the Contract of Rehabilitation of Selected 10 km Sewer Lines and

Condition Assessment of 125 km of Sewer Lines within Colombo Municipal Council Area. Through the Contract,

new sewer line M26-ADB1 was designed to be laid in parallel to the existing M26 sewer. The new M26-ADB1

sewer is larger in diameter and allows an increase to the sewerage service area under the existing M26 sewer. The

method of construction (pipe laying) is micro-tunneling.

The work in sub-project M26 is for upgrading the sewerage infrastructure in the Maligawatte and Dematagoda

areas. The total length of the sewer is about 1.5 kilometers, and it goes through several roads. These roads

include Sri Saddarma Mawatha, Railway Quarters Road, Maligawatta Railway Yard, Mallikarama Road, and

Dematagoda Road. The Supplementary Resettlement Plan discussed here is related to the work of M26-ADB1

sewer along the Mallikarama Road.

The Contract is Ad-Measurement Type Contract where the project consultants prepared the designs. The

Contractor’s design responsibility was limited mainly to minor adjustments to manhole locations and alignment to

suit the construction requirements. At Mallikarama road the arrangement proposed in the design has come into

conflict with the existing sewers. Altogether there are six existing sewers along this road as it is located next to

the Maligawatta Pump Station which is the terminal point of the drainage basin. The sewer designs provided in

the Contract were designed using the as-built drawings of the existing lines. Special investigation works could not

be carried out to physically to confirm the network alignments mainly to due lack of such investigation facilities

in the country. Pipe conflict was observed between the existing sewers and proposed M26-ADB1 sewer when the

7

Contractor attempted to implement the work, requiring additional investigations and a revised design. The

resettlement work discussed in the Supplementary

Supplementary Resettlement Plan-4 (SRP-4) is related to the new design of M26-ADB1 sewer along the

Mallikarama Road. The new design revised the locations of Jacking Shafts to avoid the pipe conflicts

C.1 Objectives of the Supplementary Resettlement Plan (SRP – 4)

It is recommended to relocate two families living in one house next to the Shaft-4 to minimize the inconvenience

caused by construction activities of Shaft-4 of M26-ADB1 sewer along Mallikarama Road.

The two families living in one house next to the Shaft-4 of M26-ADB1 sewer along Mallikarama Road

complained regarding the difficulties that they faced during heavy construction activities and requested for

temporary relocation to avoid construction related difficulties. The consultants, PMU safeguard team together

with contractor construction crew investigated the situation and implemented several measures to improve the

situation so that they can continue to stay at their house. These include stopping construction work by 7pm,

improved safety at Shaft-4, additional mosquito control measures and additional dust suppression measures to

improve environment hazards. It was agreed to reassess the situation in a week and make a final decision. Despite

these improvements the APs continued to complain about the difficulties. At the follow up visit by the project

officials the request made by said two Families living in one house hold for relocation was reviewed and

considering the health and safety due to noise and vibration of deep excavation work, it was agreed to relocate the

families living in one house until the completion of construction work at Shaft number 4 locations.

The SRP- 4 proposes payment for renting a house including all costs of finding temporary accommodation, cost

of transport of household goods including the cost of removing and bringing back the household items, and all

other additional costs the affected parties have to incur due to the temporary relocation. It is recommended to

provide temporary accommodation for Six months. The SRP -4, adheres to the principles of the NIRP (2001) and

the ADB SPS 2009 and ensures that adequate safeguards are implemented to avoid and minimize adverse impacts

on the AP regardless of whether they are legal residents or not. Details of entitlement of the affected APs are

provided under the Section Entitlements Matrix in this Report. The common construction-related impacts of this

sub-component, such as dust, noise, vibration, access difficulties are explained and addressed in the September

2013 RP. The actions proposed in the September 2013 RP on those issues are still valid and will be adhered by

the Contractor and enforced by the project.

The location of Jacking Shaft – 4 and the house of the affected families are shown in FIG. 2 & 3.

E. SUBOMPONENT DETAILS

The work in sub-project M26 on Mallikarama Road relates to upgrading sewerage infrastructure in the

Maligawatte area. This house is located adjacent to jacking shaft number 4.

The PMU officials/Engineers, Consultants and Contractor’s staff visited the house (two families) on 13th, 19th and

25th of June 2019 to investigate and assess the difficulties they face due to construction. It was observed that there

are three Kids (eldest one 8 years, 5 years and 7 months old) living with one family and the head of the other

family Mr. Jiffry is suffering from illness such as Diabetes and blood pressure. Therefore, it was agreed (by PMU,

Consultants, and Contractor’s representatives) that the best solution is to temporarily relocate the occupants of

this house to a safer location during the construction as per the principles of the NIRP.

The construction activities will be carried out using methods and machinery that minimize construction impacts.

However, during construction work following disturbances will occur due to the use of heavy machinery and

transportation activities and the severity of such impacts could be felt by some more adversely than the others.

• Transportation and access difficulties

• Difficulties faced by vehicle users

• access difficulties

• dust

• noise

F. SURVEY METHODOLOGY

The socio-economy survey was done by consultant and the Sociologist attached to the PMU to collect socio

economic information of the affected people who are living in front of shaft number 4 at Mallikarama Road in

June 2019. The focus group discussion and the household survey methodology has been used for collecting data.

The survey result of the families indicates that they are ethnically Malay, and religion is Islam. The monthly

income of the families are above Rs.200,000.00 and are not beneficiaries of social support (Samurdhi). Altogether

there are seven affected people, including three kids in the two families and one child attending school. The chief

householders have completed secondary education and doing business that they own. Annex II provides the

socioeconomic details of the household (two families).

G. CONSULTATION, GRIEVANCE REDRESS, AND PARTICIPATION

The project officials met the community in the Mallikarama road area at several public awareness meetings and

door to door awareness sessions. People were informed of the construction activities and inquired about their

concerns. The contractor also attended these meetings. At these meetings, several measures were agreed to

minimize potential problems to the community. Community members who attended these site-level meetings

explain that they do not oppose the planned work if the access to their houses is not disturbed and adequate safety

measures are taken. However, said families did not request on their difficulties at that time and have requested and

agreed to temporary resettlement due to inconvenience of the construction. The request letter of the temporary

relocation at a rented house has been received by PMU from the AP (Annex III). The project fully bears their

resettlement cost and will assist the APs to resettle at the same house at the end of construction.

H. MECHANISMS FOR GRIEVANCE REDRESS

The PMU Sociologist, together with the consultant and construction crew, have conducted awareness programs

among APs to explain the project activities, project impacts, and measures taken to address them in November

2017. At these meeting, the project Sociologist explained the APs regarding the GRM available to the affected

parties. The focal point for receiving complaints and addressing inquiries is the Social and Environment

Safeguards Division in the PMU. The specific point of contact regarding social and resettlement issues is the

12

project Sociologist. This was explained to the affected parties, and the contact details of the project sociologist

and the Team Leader of the Consultants Team were provided to the APs. Affected parties at the project site can

complain about the grievances to the contractor’s Public Relation Officer and if it is not addressed can forward to

the PMU Sociologist; if Grievances are still not addressed at the project Sociologist’s level or if the solution is not

agreed by the AP, such issues can be referred by the Project Director to the Safeguards Committee of the project.

This committee comprises the CMC District Engineer as Chair, a representative from the MIHA&PCLG, the

PMU Sociologist and a female AP from the affected party (if available). GRM process is depicted in FIG. 4. The

GRM process will not remove the right of the APs to the recourse of legal action to address issues related to

resettlement.

The Resettlement Plan on the sub-project is developed based on the principles and legal provisions laid down in

The Land Acquisition Act, 1950 (LAA, amended from time to time) and the National Involuntary Resettlement

Policy, 2001 (NIRP). The principles of the NIRP are largely consistent with ADB‟s Policy on Involuntary Resettlement, 1995. The Project’s core principles will be applied to involuntary resettlement defined as follows:

involuntary resettlement addresses social and economic impacts that are permanent or temporary and are (i)

caused by acquisition of land and other fixed assets, (ii) by change in the use of land, or (iii) restrictions imposed

on land as a result of the Project.

J. SCOPE OF LAND ACQUISITION AND RESETTLEMEN

1. Key Effects in Terms of Land Acquired, Assets Lost and People Displaced

The project physical construction works at M26 site do not require any land acquisition. But there were potential

temporary impacts related to access disruptions during construction works; there was no any loss of assets

belongs to the government or private as a result of the construction works except 11 encroaches families at CGR

quarters road and Mallikarama Road.

During project consultation and the Socio economic survey APs agreed to move from their temporary houses to

high rise building to facilitate construction work permanently. Accordingly, project has provided houses from

newly build apartment at “Laksada Sewana” by URP-UDA at a cost of LKR 4 Million per each affected parties

for their loss of house and provided all compensation packages related to the relocation which was mentioned in

SRP 1, 2 and 3.

2. Primary Responsibility for Land Acquisition and Resettlement

The project has no any land acquisition of this construction site except relocation of 11 encroach families.

However, Contractor has advised to do the construction without any harm to people or assets in the construction

site but, if there are any losses of assets or damage during construction works it is clarified as construction

induces impact hence contractor is bound to compensate for the damages.

K. ENTITLEMENTS

The entitlement matrix applicable for the 6 sub-projects, including M 26 sub project, based on the legal and policy

principles and the potential impacts, are given in TABLE 3 below. The procedure explained in Table 2 also

applies to the RAP defined in SRP-4. All impacts will be addressed at the project-level. Temporary Relocation of

one house hold (two families) in M 26 sub project area requested by the affected parties due to difficulties faced

during shaft construction. The APs are offered a compensation package as outlined in Section K. The RAP

budget is given in Section L.

M. RESETTLEMENT BUDGET AND FINANCING PLAN

The resettlement plan includes cash payment to cover house rent fee for 06 months, cash payment for transport

household items to present location to rented house and other payment related to the temporary resettlement.

According to the project document resettlement works financed by Government of Sri Lanka. When approval

granted by Ministry all the compensation will be paid before relocate the people from present location to their

new location.

i. House Lease/Rent: The APs were given the option to find suitable temporary housing. The APs have

agreed for the project officials also to look for suitable house for relocation. Accordingly, the Contractor

will also search house through his PRO. Since the relocation period is six months and there is in finding

house because most house owners prefer minimum 12 months’ rent/lease. Also there is a difficulty in

providing key money/deposits. Considering these issues, it was agreed to release the total cost of

rent/lease upfront once the project is satisfied that the renting arrangement is satisfactory.

ii. Cost of transport of household goods: Full cost allocated under the resettlement budget to cover two-

way transportation cost will be provided to the affected party at the time of shifting to temporary house.

P. MONITORING AND EVALUATION

The resettlement program of the subproject will be monitored internally by the PMU Sociologist and the

Consultants. The objectives of monitoring the resettlement plan implementation are to provide information to the

Project Director on the following.

a. the progress of implementation of temporary resettlement-related activities;

16

b. record and assess project inputs to the APs,

c. problems encountered in the implementation of the RP (SRP-4) as early as possible,

d. plan actions for timely resolution of the resettlement related issues, and

e. assess whether compensation, rehabilitation measures are sufficient

The information collected through the monitoring will help to determine whether the temporary resettlement has

any significant adverse impact on the APs and if so to address such issues satisfactorily and on time.

The objective of SRP monitoring is to assist the APs to re-establish/ improve the living standards and help to

adjust to the living in their new environment. The PMU Sociologist will make recommendations for changes to

the SRP where necessary to achieve these objectives and report to the PD.

Q. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The following recommendations are proposed

• To pay Rs. 75,000.00 cash payment for one house (two families), for 06 months to meet house rent.

• Considering distances from present location to new location it is recommended to pay Rs.60,000.00 as

shifting cost of household items (including cost of packing and unpacking of the household items) to new

house for 02 families for two ways.

• To support two families those are being temporarily relocated in the rented in house to adjust to living in

their new surroundings. This activity is proposed to be conducted by the PMU SGRO with the support of

the Consultant and the Contractor. “Institutions of the affected people, and where relevant, of their hosts,

are to be protected and supported. Affected people are to be assisted to integrate economically and

socially into host communities so that adverse impacts on the host communities are minimized and social

harmony is promoted’ (NIRP, 2001).
