1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 PROJECT BACKGROUND
The Government of India has requested the assistance of the World Bank for upgrading and rehabilitation of State Highways, Major District Roads and Other District Roads in the State of Punjab. The Punjab Roads & Bridges Development Board (PRBDB) will be the executing agency for the Project. A Strategic Option Study (SOS), carried out for the Public Works Department (PWD), has prioritised road sections for improvement from the 1698 km of State Highways (SH), Major District Roads (MDR) and Other District Roads (ODR). The major criteria used for selection in SOS are restricted carriageway width and /or pavement conditions which result in capacity constraints for the high volumes of traffic carried by the roads, and also consider the connectivity of the roads. The location map of the Project road is presented in Figure 1.1.
Technical and Economic feasibility studies for the Punjab State Road Project has been undertaken separately. The Government of Punjab has selected the roads for Phase-I which total approximately 367km (comprising approx 252 km roads for rehabilitation and another 115 km for upgrading works). The detailed engineering study is now required as part of the preparation for the up-grading works on 115 km roads and is the subject of this report. Details of the project road selected for upgrading under package III of Phase I are presented in Table 1.1;

1.2 FEASIBILITY AND ALTERNATIVES
1.2.1 Feasibility Studies A separate Feasibility Study has been carried out interacting with this study to update traffic analysis and preliminary cost estimates. Based on a preliminary social and environmental screening, a regional analysis of development prospects and a full economic analysis, this road has been pre-selected for rehabilitation with a design life of 10 years when widening will be warranted. The estimated EIRR is 22%.
1.2.2 Alternatives The main alternatives were considered by the feasibility consultant and related to whether widening was justified. Traffic projections suggested that the road has sufficient capacity for 10 years but the pavement may require strengthening. This was confirmed by this study.
The works therefore are limited to an overlay on the existing alignment, and for this the alternative of a new concrete pavement is not economically or technically viable. To enhance the value of the works it has been decided to improve the Road Safety features of the road and this is the only other area for selection of alternatives. Careful study of the safety situation and public consultations have confirmed that the major villages are concerned with road safety and therefore traffic calming measures will be implemented at the major villages. No other alternatives were applicable.
1.3 DESIGN PROPOSALS
1.3.1 Road Cross sections The full description of the design is given in the Final Design Report (Volume I) and should be read in conjunction with the Drawings (Volume IV). Details of the proposed cross sections are presented in Table 1.2.

measures for additional safety and convenience of the road users and the roadside communities
1.4 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
The detailed design of the project has been closely coordinated with the preparation of the Resettlement Action Plan (RAP, see Volume VI), Environmental Assessment (EA, see Volume V) and this Environmental Management Plan (EMP). The EA preparation led to identification of potential environmental hazards and their feasible remedial measures (including avoidance, mitigation and enhancements). Public consultations were conducted for both the Environmental and Social aspects and are reported in the EA(Volume V) and the RAP (Volume VI). Based on these findings this EMP has been prepared for the implementation and will form the part of the Contract document between the Construction Contractor and PRBDB. It also defines the parallel activities that are required to be carried out by the PRBDB and the Contract Supervising Consultant (CSC).
This project has been classified as Category ‘A’ and in accordance with the requirements of the World Bank, full Environmental Assessment and Environmental Management Plan has been carried out. The main consequent actions that are required to mitigate negative impacts and monitor the measures taken are given in the following sections.
1.5 SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
Based on the environmental impacts predicted, EMPs, separate for each of the construction contract packages has been prepared and incorporated in the bidding/contract documents. The EMP has been prepared as per the requirements of World Bank OP 4.01- Annex C; and along with the chainages.
Environmental Mitigation & Enhancement Measures: The recommend feasible and cost-effective measures to prevent or reduce significant negative impacts to acceptable levels. Apart from mitigation of the potential adverse impacts on the environmental component, the EMP identified opportunities that exist for the enhancement of the environmental quality along the corridor. This also includes the enhancement of specific locations as waste water ponds, enhancement of cultural property along the corridor. The EMP included management and redevelopment of quarries, borrow areas and construction camps. The EMP also includes detailed specification, bill of quantities, execution drawings and contracting procedures for execution of the environmental mitigation and enhancement measures suggested, separate for pre-construction, construction and operation period. In addition, the

Part 3 Volume 6 Appendix A Page 5 of 41
EMP includes good practice guides relate to construction. Responsibilities for execution and supervision of each of the mitigation and enhancement measures are specified in the EMP.
Supervision & Monitoring: The EMP specifies the environmental supervision, monitoring and auditing requirements. The monitoring programme specify parameters, reference standards, monitoring method, frequency, duration, location, reporting responsibilities, and what other inputs ( e.g., training) are necessary.
The EMP listed all mandatory government clearance conditions, and the status of procuring clearances.
1.6 CLEARANCES REQUIRED FOR THE PROJECT
The proposed Project road will not be required to take Environmental Clearance from the Ministry of Environment and Forest (MoEF), Govt. of India as;
a) No section passes through the ecological sensitive areas,
b) No Land is to be acquired for the project roads,

2 BASELINE AND IMPACT SUMMARY
The full details of the baseline data collection is given in the Environmental Assessment (Volume V) and this includes the locations of the 3 ambient air quality measurement stations, the 4 noise measurement stations, the two soil sample locations, the 2 groundwater sampling locations and the one surface water sampling locations. These same locations will be used in the monitoring programme. Mitigation measures are discussed in section 3.
The main environmental impact issues are summarised in Table 2.1 (next page) and specific mitigation measures are given in the annexes.
2.1 NATURAL RESOURCES
The Project road passes through plain terrain and the elevation of the project road varies from 243 m to 256 m above mean sea level. The proposed improvements do not involve considerable raising above the existing pavement layers.
The soils encountered in the project road are generally silty sands. Very limited quantities of soil may be required from borrow areas and no material is generated from cutting. As far as possible materials will be obtained from existing local borrow areas. All borrow areas will be operated and redeveloped in accordance with IRC 10: 1961, MoRTH and EMP clauses applicable. For aggregates boulders will be obtained from authorized suppliers and come from controlled renewable sources identified in the Materials Report (Volume VII).
2.2 AIR ENVIRONMENT
The present levels of Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM) in the ambient air at Sirhind junction (NH-1) exceed the standard limit stipulated by MoEF for the Residential and Rural areas and at other locations are within the stipulated limits. The present concentrations of the CO, NOx, RPM and SO2 are within the standards stipulated by MoEF for Residential and Rural areas at all locations. The predicted concentrations of SPM will be above the standards during 2020 and 2033 stipulated by the MoEF unless the presently planned vehicle emission controls are implemented. Due to the adequate width of the pavement and paved shoulder dust levels created by the traffic will be unchanged.
The air pollution during the construction stage may be significant if not properly managed, particularly near the working zones, construction plant sites and from the construction machinery and construction vehicles. The mitigation measures for the avoidance and mitigation of the air pollution are presented in Table 3.1. (C.4.3.1)

Part 3 Volume 6 Appendix A Page 8 of 41
2.3 NOISE LEVELS
The present day time noise levels measured during November, 2005 and December, 2005 are above the stipulated limits for rural and sensitive areas at all the locations along the project road, but the night time noise levels at all the locations just exceed the standards for rural and sensitive areas. With increasing traffic the noise levels will increase slightly but as the roadside communities already have to tolerate high levels the impact will be low.
The adverse impacts from the increase of noise during the construction stage on the nearby community will be reduced by; locating the construction plants away from the settlements, limiting the working hours and using modern equipment. All possible mechanical and administrative controls will be practised to reduce the adverse impacts on the workers, in unavoidable situations personal protective equipment will be provided to the workers based on the nature of the works.
The noise levels have been predicted using the Federal Highway Authority (FWHA) noise model. For the year 2010 day time noise levels vary from 71 db(A) to 72 db(A) and night time levels vary from 63 db(A) and 65 db(A). The predicated noise levels for all the locations exceed stipulated limits for residential and rural areas for the year 2020 and 2033. It is advisable to have strict control in future developments within 100m from the right of way. Three locations of sensitive receptors for the construction of the noise barriers have been identified and details are presented in Annex 9. These have been selected based on the proximity of the identified sensitive receptors (schools and hospitals) and the presence and existing height of walls. Provision has been included for additional noise barriers for sites identified during construction. A campaign of the public awareness related to the health issues will be addressed through the newspapers, consultations and distribution of pamphlets during the operation stage. The public will be advised how noise levels can be reduced by barriers such as walls and double glazed windows during the operation stage of the road.
2.4 WATER ENVIRONMENT
This project road is proposed for rehabilitation and no widening is involved so, it will be not affect the hand pumps or tube wells or wastewater ponds along the road.
No construction work is envisaged along water courses and cleaning of culverts will be carried out during the non monsoon period.
Degradation of water quality due to sediment transport may occur from activities like removal of grass cover and stock piling of materials during the construction activities. These will be prevented/ or reduced with proper stock piling and properly disposing of material.
Oil interceptors will be constructed in the construction camps for the reduction of contamination of water and due to oil spills.
Punjab State Road Sector Project ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN (PATIALA – SIRHIND) June 2006
Part 3 Volume 6 Appendix A Page 9 of 41
Both the ground water and surface water will be used for the Project requirements based on the quantity of the water available and required for the Project works. The water required for the project will be available from various sources at various locations. There will be little negative impact on the ground water table as the ground water levels are shallow and availability of surface water is good.
Impacts on water sources will be minimal.
2.5 FLORA AND FAUNA
No sensitive areas like natural habitats, bird sanctuaries, tiger forests, reserve forests, wet lands and Ramsar sites are present within the project influence area.
No endangered species of wild animals are present within the Project influence area, only domestic animals are observed along the Project roads.
The proposed project road does not involve tree cutting.
The impacts on the flora and fauna are not significant and have been categorized as low.
2.6 SOCIO ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT
2.6.1 Resettlement and Rehabilitation On reviewing the design proposals the works will be contained within the present road areas and no land acquisition or displacement of encroachers is required. There are no project affected households or persons.
2.6.2 Cultural Properties The project road is not passing through any sites of national or state level heritage, cultural and/ religious structures. Gurudwaras, temples, mosqes/ mazars are located along the project road but none of these are affected.
2.7 SAFETY AND HEALTH ASPECTS OF THE PROJECT
Road Safety Design
As part of the normal engineering design practice, road safety aspects of the road design have been carefully considered and included in the design details. The design has been audited by a road safety specialist and the recommended measures have been detailed in the drawings and specifications. These include improved signs and road markings, guardrails at bridge approaches, pedestrian crossings and traffic calming measures in significant villages where approach speeds are likely to be high. The locations of all these features are given in the Volume of Drawings (Volume IV). The five main villages on the road will all have traffic calming measures.

Part 3 Volume 6 Appendix A Page 10 of 41
Health/Safety Measures for Labourers
Fist Aid Boxes with first Aid leaflets will be placed at all work places and at least four sets in each Construction Camp. Some of the workers will be given the First Aid training to enable them to treat some of the emergencies at the working zones and at auxiliary sites. Arrangements with nearby health centres and local doctors will be made for treating injuries which need attention of specialist doctors. During the construction phase, workers will be provided personal protective equipment based on the nature of the work of workers.
Traffic Safety Plans
Safety during the construction will be considered as an integral part and high priority element of the road Project.
All safety precautions will be ensured during temporary and permanent works for the road construction.
For providing all required safety precautions the specific traffic management plans will be prepared and implemented during construction stage in accordance with the IRC: SP: 55 (Guidelines on Safety in Road Construction Zones). Some of the guiding drawings for the general arrangements of the safety measures are provided in the Contract drawings, based on these, site specific traffic management plans will be prepared and implemented during construction stage. (see Annex 15 for guideline)
Handling of Petroleum Products
Petroleum products such as petrol, diesel, light diesel oil, bitumen and emulsion will be handled, stored and used in accordance with the relevant rules, acts and guidelines to avoid any damage to the environment and reduce the probability of the occurrence accidents. Wastes generated from the use of the petroleum products will also disposed of safely as detailed in the relevant rules, regulations and guidelines. The rules and regulations applicable for the handling of these products are listed below;
• Environmental Protection Act, 1986 • Petroleum Act, 1934 • Petroleum Rules, 2002

5.3 REPORTING SYSTEM
Reporting system for the suggested monitoring program operates at two levels:
(a) Reporting for environmental condition indicators and environmental management indicators
(b) Reporting for operational performance indicators at the PRBDB level.
Environmental monitoring involves regular checking of the environmental management issues detailed in the EMP and to ascertain whether the mitigation measures are going according to the EMP along with the progress of the works. It provides the necessary feedback for Project management to keep the program on schedule. The evaluation is essentially a summing up of the project assessment and whether those activities have actually achieved their expected outcomes.
The Contractor, CSC and PRBDB operate the reporting system for environmental condition and environmental management indicators. The reporting system to be operated by various stake holders is presented in Table 5.3. Reporting formats for Contractors and Supervision consultants have been prepared, which will form the basis of the implementation by the Contractor and monitoring by the CSC and PRBDB. The list of reporting formats prepared for the Project is presented in Table 5.4 and Formats are presented in Annex 14.
Details of the set up for the implementation of the environmental management plan of the project is presented in Figure 5.1
• The reporting system will start from the Construction Contractor who is the main executor of the implementation activities. The Contractor will report to the Supervision Consultant, who in turn shall report to the PRBDB. As a check on that the Independent Environmental Review Consultant for EMP compliance will carryout the independent review of EMP compliance and submit a draft and final half yearly report to PRBDB along with note specifying the critical issues along with suggested actions necessary to be take by the PRBDB/ CSC/ Contractor.
• The Contractor will submit monthly and quarterly environmental compliance report along with formal monthly and quarterly report to the CSC.
• The CSC will submit separate quarterly environmental monitoring report to PRBDB in addition to submission of the summary of the activities of the month in the formal monthly report including deviations and corrective actions
• PRBDB will be responsible for the preparation of the targets for identified non compliances in association with independent environmental reviewer consultant for the EMP compliance.
• Solutions for further effective implementation should also come out as a result of the compliance monitoring reports.
• Photographic records will also be established to provide useful environmental monitoring tools.

Annex 12 Tree/ Shrub Plantation Strategy
Plants purify air by assimilating carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen thus keeps check on the vehicular pollution on road and its surroundings. It also helps in soil and water conservation, and offers shade. The Contractor will be responsible for planting shrubs and turfing at enhancement sites whilst the Forestry Department will be responsible for obtaining sites and planting trees to compensate for unavoidable tree cutting. The tree planting will not be required as no trees are being felled for the works.
Shrubs Prior to planting it is suggested to remove all loose debris, fill up with good soil and level the area. To ensure better growth and survival of grasses and shrubs, the surface should have sufficient layer of good quality soil (up to 45 cms). Shrubs which are suggested for the road side and open area spaces where available should be selected from the following and agreed with the Environmental Specialist of the Supervising Specialist: Shrubs
Garna Karir Hins
Gandhala Malla Jhau Jindu
Panwar Jangli Mirch
Akk
Caroissa spinarum Caparis decidua Capris zeylanica Murra yakoenigil
Zizypuhs nummularia Artemesia spp
Xanthium stumarium Cassia tora
Capsicum fruitscens Ipomea gossypiolides
Turfing with Grasses: Grass lines are used to provide a strong surface cover at the slope but it also needs a well-prepared surface. If grass is to be an effective form, then it must be allowed to establish properly on a slope which does not subject to undue stress from erosion and mass movement in its initial stages. To ensure this following measures are suggested for the grass turfing: • A cover of 25 grams of grass seed per square m. of surface will be prepared • Bed will be prepared in June. The seed sowing must be carried out before the onset of
monsoon so that they yield desired results. Till the onset of the monsoon, watering of the surface to be done by tankers
• After sowing, mulch of prepared and dried out herbs will be laid over the whole seeded area in a thin layer so that the direct sunlight and transpiration loss may not affect the grasses
• The grass species recommended for median are Khabbal, Dhaula, Plawan, Sariala and Kahi
Contractor will ensure that the condition of the site is good enough for the successful establishment of grasses. They will also supervise all field operations like preparation of surface, sowing of grasses and quality of grass seeds used.
