Madhya Pradesh Road Development Corporation (MPRDC), Govt. of Madhya Pradesh,

has decided to strengthen / upgrade & Widned the SH-31(Lebad) to NH-3(Manpur) Road

New Alignment, the project corridor from existing 2-lanes to 4 lanes divided carriageway with

partially across control on BOT basis.

This Project Corridor is a segment of 34.300 km long SH-31(Labad) to NH-3(Manpur)

connected to Ajmer- Edlabad-Nimach-Mandsaur – Indore and provides the shortest route

of transportation from northern part of India to the southern part and vice-versa.. It enters

Madhya Pradesh in Nayagaon, Indore and continues traversing in the southerly direction

upto Lebad, where it joins NH-59 (Ahmedabad-Godhra-Dhar-Indore highway) and

thereafter runs in the easterly direction up to Indore, where it joins NH-3. The length of

NH–79 in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh is 200 km. and 280 Km. respectively. The

project corridor consisting of SH-31(Labad) to NH-3(Manpur) has been declared as SH-

31 in state of M.P. Project corridor is Labad to Manpur new alignment having length of

34.300 km. As per design the total project cost is 216.40 Cr.

The Project Corridor commences from SH-31-to-NH-3,New alignment starting near

Lebad (km. 1+282.00) from SH-31, crossing NH-59 Indore – Lebad – Dhar – Surat and

joining NH-3 Mumbai – Dhulia – Agra road near Manpur (km. 38+178.50) and passing

via-Digthan – Kheri – Kunjrod – Shirpur is finally selected as best possible alignment.

This alignment is now termed as Project Road. The total length of Project Road is 34.300

Km. The Project Road lies between 75º20′ – 75º37′ E longitudes and 22º27′ – 22º40′ N

latitudes. The Project Road bypasses villages Lebad, Ekalduna, Najikbaroda, Digthan,

Pipalya, Biloda, Nayabaroda, Kheri, Sihod, Durjanpura, Sherpur and Manpur. The land

use is mainly agriculture. Fig. attached illustrates the Project Road.

Environmental Assessment study and Environmental Management Plan have

been carried out in accordance with the requirement of the Term of Reference (TOR) and

guidelines of Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF), Government of India. dated

14.Sep.2006 Environmental Assessment study has the following major objectives;




• To determine the magnitude of actual and potential impacts and ensure that

environmental considerations are given adequate weightage in the selection and design

of proposed highway improvements,

• To determine the potential environmental concerns,

• To delineate the major environmental issues and identify the potential hotspots,

• To recommend the optimal cost-effective control measures for minimizing the

adverse impacts.

The main finding of the Impact Assessment Report, which requires attention while

categorizing the project from environmental point of view, is given below:

Existence of number of trees and one river reveals that the environmental study needs

higher attention with respect to environmental parameters such as bio-diversity and the

conservation of natural resources.

• The climate of the project area is hot and dry. There are three seasons: summer,

winter and monsoon. The winter season starts by the end of November and continues

up to middle of February. January is generally coldest month with the mean daily

minimum temperature of about 120C. The summer season starts by the middle of

February and continues till the onset of monsoon in the middle of June. Month of

May is one of the hottest months with the mean daily maximum temperature 480C.

The monsoon season starts from the middle of June and continues up to the last week

of September. The average rainfall of last five year is approx. 450mm to 890mm.

• The land use pattern of the project area mainly consists of agriculture land, which

includes cultivation of paddy, jowar, maize, groundnut, sesamum, cotton wheat,

gram, tuar and linseed according to seasonal variation through out the project area.

• No forest area is coming under the project corridor, hence no forest land requires.

• Large number of trees exists and likely to be impacted due to present widening of the

project road.

• As many as 1040 nos. of the trees are come across the proposed project and 1040

trees and plants are likely to be affected due to the widening activity. Major tree

species include Babul, Neem and Harra. (It will be minimize and compensatory

afforest ratio is suggested in 1:5 in detailed in EMP.)

• Major rivers cross the Project Corridor are river Dhamuni & Khamunikhum.




• There are only 2 religious structures, 02 in total falls within the corridor of impacts,

45 Residential structures, only one School, which shall be avoided at the time of

construction; Congestion is seen at five village junction to the Project road.

• Weekly markets were seen at each village places causing congestion.

• The project cost include construction of four lane with paved shpulder including

bypasses at villahe Lebad, Ekalduna, Narayanpura, Digthan and Manpur with new

alignment due to missing link and bridge locations.

• Road Work,115.70 Cr,

• CD structure-23.58 Cr,

• ROB-9.5 Cr,

• Project Facilities like toll plaza, bus & truck lay bye, under passes etc. -8.49 Cr,

• Environment Management Plan Cost - 2.80 Cr.

• Utility shifting cost-1.80 Cr,

• Land Acquisition - 14.81 Cr,

• R&R cost - 1.70 Cr

• Escalation & interest cost (IDC) - 40.02 Cr

• Rough estimate of the cost reveals that the approximate cost of project will be Rs.

218.41 Cr for the project road.

• Total No. of Villages affected - 18 nos. Village Indore - 05 & Dhar - 13

• No of person affected in 45 in 18 villages of project corridor.

• The available ROW all along the project corridor is 30 to 35m & 45m proposed

including bypass and Proposed ROW is 45m.

• Total land to be acquired is 165 hact. in 18 villages.

• Based on the environmental assessment, appropriate enhancement

measures/mitigation measures has been suggested in Chapter 6 & 6.1 so that the

highway improvements in terms of 2/4 laning / up gradation will be environment

friendly.

Project Categorization

On the observations made during screening process for the project shows that the road up

gradation and widening will cause environmental impact both beneficial as well as

adverse. However, potential of the adverse impacts will be more at the initial stages of




the project. The project falls in the category of “Appreciable but reversible impact-

control measures are needed”.

Therefore the project under reference is categorized under “Category-B” as per

Environmental notification dated 14 September 2006 of Ministry of Environment &

Forest.

Further, based on “With or Without Project” alternatives has been broadly discussed in

the table: 5.1.

Based on Environmental Impact Assessment study which include all parameters and

concentrate in all respect

Based on this categorization Environmental Impact Assessment has been carried out and

considering the predicted impacts during study, most suitable mitigation measures has

been suggested in Environmental Management Plan.

Monitoring results and Base line Data

Air Environment

Meteorology (Climate)

The meteorological data collected from IMD is very useful for proper interpretation of the

baseline information as well as input for air quality model prediction models. Historical data

on meteorological parameters will also play an important role in identifying the general

meteorological regime of the region.

The year may broadly be divided into four seasons:

• Winter season : December to February

• Pre-monsoon : March to May

• Monsoon season : June to September

• Post-monsoon season : October to November

Sources of Information

Secondary information on meteorological conditions has been collected from the nearest IMD

station at Indore, which has been monitored at IMD Indore since 1891. Pressure,

temperature, relative humidity, rainfall, wind speed and wind direction are measured twice a

day viz., at 0830 and 1730 hr. The 30 years data on wind speed and wind direction have been

considered for identifying the sampling locations. The predominant wind direction and wind

speed recorded at IMD during the summer season were W for 25% of the total time and

followed by NW and N direction for 21% and 14.4% of the total time. Based on this

meteorological data windrose have been drawn and is presented

Temperature

The Pre-monsoon season, the maximum temperature (May) is observed at 43.5°C with the

minimum temperature at 11.2°C.

Relative Humidity

The relative humidity is observed around 16% to 86% during Pre-monsoon period.

Rainfall

• The average annual rainfall based on the IMD data is 1200 mm. The monsoon

generally sets in during the first week of June. The rainfall gradually decreases after

August. The maximum numbers of rainy days are observed in the month of July. Annual

and monthly variations of rainfall are presented in Table-3.7.




Cloud Cover

• During pre-monsoon seasons, it was observed that the skies are generally very

clear. In the pre-monsoon season, generally light clouds were observed in the evenings,

with clear mornings.

The prime objective of the baseline air quality study was to establish the existing ambient air

quality of the study area. This will be useful for assessing the conformity to standards of the

ambient air quality during the construction and operation phase of the project. The important

sources of air pollution in the region are vehicular traffic and domestic fuel burning activities.

Details of sampling locations and the monitoring results along with the CPCB ambient air

quality standards are presented in Table 3.10. The results show that all the ambient air quality

parameters are well within the NAAQ Standards at all the locations except at Kheri and

Nayapura which is slightly higher (Residential Zone). There are no major air polluting

sources in the project area and the air quality of the area is perceived to be good.

3.4 Water Environment

Study area receives rainfall from southwest monsoon during June to September. The average

annual rainfall is 1200 mm. (Source IMD, Indore).

Surface Water

Dhamni and Khunkhni Nadi is tributaries of Chambal river flows in the study area. The site

for the proposed road is away from the Narmada River hence no influence of flood.

Ground Water

Ground water is used in an around the project site. The villages are dependent on ground

water for their everyday requirement. Ground water is fetched from open dug- as well as bore

wells which are both mechanized and manual.

Baseline Data

The water quality in and around the project road was assessed through physicochemical

analysis of surface and ground water samples collected during March 2009. The sampling

procedure, preservation techniques and analysis method are as per the standard methods of

water and waste water by APHA, AWWA and WPCF, 13th Edition.

The existing status of ground water and surface water quality was assessed by identifying 2

surface water and 10 ground water (hand pump / wells) in different villages listed in Table

3.11.

The physicochemical characteristics of surface water samples and ground water samples

collected from various locations are presented in Table 3.12 and Table 3.13.

It was observed that all the parameters are well below the stipulated Drinking Water

Standards, except hardness in some villages, which may due to extraction of minerals in

ground water.

3.5 Noise Levels

Noise in general is unwanted/un-desired sound, which is composed of many frequency

components of various loudness distributed over the audible frequency range. Various noise

scales have been introduced to describe, in a single number, the response of an average

human to a complex sound made up of various frequencies at different loudness levels. The

most common and universally accepted scale is the A weighted Scale which is measured as

dB(A). This is more suitable for the audible range of sound, 20 to 20,000 Hz. The scale has

been designed to weigh various components of noise according to the response of a human

ear. The impact of noise sources on surrounding community depends on:

• Characteristics of noise sources (instantaneous, intermittent or continuous in nature).

It can be observed that steady noise is not as annoying as one, which is continuously

varying in loudness;

• The time of day at which noise occurs, for example high noise levels at night in

residential areas are not acceptable because of sleep disturbance; and

• The location of the noise source, with respect to noise sensitive land use, which

determines the loudness and period of exposure.

The environmental impact of noise can have several effects varying from Noise Induced

Hearing Loss (NIHL) to annoyance depending on loudness of noise. The assessment of noise

is carried out by considering various factors like potential damage to hearing, physiological

responses, annoyance and general community responses.

It is possible to describe important features of noise for noise levels measured over 24 hours

using statistical methods. These features of noise are the parameters used for describing the

noise levels at a particular location. Standards for permissible noise levels at various zones are

set based on these parameters. The notations used for various noise level parameters are

described below.




• Leq - Equivalent sound pressure level - the steady sound level that, over a specified

period of time, would produce the same energy equivalence as the fluctuating sound

level actually occurring.

• Leq (1 hr) - The equivalent noise level for a specific one-hour period

• Leq (24 hr) – The equivalent noise level during a 24 hour period

• Lday - The equivalent noise level from 6:00 hours to 22.00 hours.

• Lnight - The equivalent noise level from 22:00 hours to 6.00 hours.

• Ldn - It is similar to a 24 hr equivalent noise level except that during night time (10

PM to 6 am) a 10 dB(A) weighting penalty is added to the instantaneous sound level

before computing the 24 hr average. This nighttime penalty is added to account for

the fact that noise during night when people usually sleep is judged as more annoying

than the same noise during the daytime.

As part of the baseline environmental monitoring, noise monitoring survey was conducted at

6 locations in the study area representing residential and commercial zones. The main

objective of noise monitoring in the study area was to establish the baseline noise levels,

which was used to assess the impact of the total noise generated by the proposed project

activities. Noise level monitoring was carried out continuously for 24-hours (Table 6.12) with

one hour interval at each location in April 2009 using a Luthron sound level meter capable of

measuring the Sound Pressure Level (SPL) in dB(A). Hourly Leq values were computed by

the noise integrating sound level meter and statistical analysis was done for measured noise

levels at 6 locations in the study area. The Lday, Lnight, Ldn and Leq (24 hr) calculated for

all 6 locations and presented in Table 3.15. The values are compared with the standards

prescribed by CPCB for various zones.

Of the six locations, three locations represented residential areas and three locations

represented commercial areas. The noise level at all the six locations exceeds the permissible

limits set by the CPCB during day and night time.

The monitoring programme is devised to ensure effective implementation of the EMP.

The monitoring programme contains monitoring plan for all performance indicators,

reporting formats and necessary budgetary provisions. Monitoring plan for performance

indicators and reporting system is presented in the following sub sections.

6.1 Performance Indicators

Physical, biological and environmental management components identified as of

particular significance in affecting the environment at critical locations have been

suggested as Performance Indicators (PIS). The Performance Indicators shall be

evaluated under three heads as:

1. Environmental condition indicators to determine efficacy of environmental

management measures in control of air, noise, water and soil pollution.

2. Environmental management indicators to determine compliance with the suggested

environmental management measures.

3. Operational performance indicators have also been devised to determine efficacy and

utility of the proposed mitigation measures.

The Performance Indicators and monitoring plans prepared for proposed projects are

presented in Table 6.1

6.2 Monitoring Plan for Environmental Conditions

For each of the environmental condition indicator, the monitoring plan specifies the

parameters to be monitored; location of the monitoring sites, frequency and duration of

monitoring. The monitoring plan also specifies the applicable standards, implementation

and supervising responsibilities.

6.3 Reporting System

Institutional/Implementation Arrangements

The MPRDC is responsible for implementation of all the mitigation and management

measures suggested in EMP. To effectively oversee the project preparation and to ensure

the timely implementation of the project, MPRDC will designate the project monitoring

team headed by Chief Engineer and supported by a Dy. G.M. and a Sr. Manager.

This team will be responsible for overall project management. The Environment

Management Cell at the MPRDC will be responsible for implementation of the EMP.

The Environmental Expert of environmental cell will assist the Chief Engineer and will

interact with State Pollution Control Board (SPCB), Forest Dept. & NGOs for addressal

of environmental issues. There will a Project Implementation Unit (PIU) at division level

headed by executive engineer to monitor the day to day activities at filed. The

Environmental Expert of the Supervision Consultants and the Contractor will assist the

unit for successful implementation of the EMP.

Progress Monitoring and Reporting Arrangements

The monitoring and evaluation of the management measures envisaged are critical

activities in implementation of the Project. Monitoring involves periodic checking to

ascertain whether activities are going according to the plans. It provides the necessary

feedback for project management to keep the program on schedule. The rational for a

reporting system is based on accountability to ensure that the measures proposed as part

of the EMP get implemented in the project.




The reporting system will operate linearly with the contractor who is at the lowest rank

of the implementation system reporting to the Supervision Consultant, who in turn shall

report to the MPRDC. All subsequent reporting by the contractor shall be monitored as

per the targets set by the MPRDC before the contractors move on to the site. The

reporting by the Contractor will be in form of Monthly Report like report of progress on

construction and will form the basis for monitoring by the MPRDC, either by its own

Environment Manager or the Environmental Specialist hired by the Supervision

Consultant. The responsibilities of these officers is described in the following sections:

Project Monitoring Unit (MPRDC)

The implementation of the environmental mitigation measures would be the

responsibility of the MPRDC. With appropriate training and exposure, the existing setup

should become competent to implement the EMP. The setup may be further modified

and strengthened, as the project is implemented. The MPRDC will be assigned with

specific responsibilities with regard to:

1. Monitoring progress of the project, on the implementation of the environmental

provisions, as per planned schedule of activities.

2. Supervising implementation of mitigation measures by the contractor along the

project road.

3. Assist the Engineers at site by providing appropriate environmental advice, and

developing appropriate mitigation measures.

4. Documenting the experience in the implementation of the environmental process.

Environmental Cell of MPRDC

The overall responsibility of the Environmental cell of MPRDC shall be to guide and

assist the MPRDC to develop, implement and strengthen the environmental management

practices in road development projects for the current and future projects under

consideration, drawing upon the experiences gained in the implementation of the project.

The principal duties entrusted to the Environmental Expert include:

• Review the preparation of the Environmental Assessments for the project and

finalization in close co-ordination with the MPRDC;

• Ensure that the project design and specification adequately reflect the Environmental

Management Plan;

• Co-ordinate the obtaining of requisite Environmental Clearances for the project;




• Develop training programme for the MPRDC staff, the Contractors and others

involved in the project implementation, in collaboration with the Environmental

Specialist of the Supervision Consultant;

• Review and approve the Contractor's Implementation Plan with Supervision

Consultant for the environmental measures, as per the EMP;

• Liaise with the Contractors, Supervision Consultants on the implementation of the

EMP;

• Liaise with the various Central and State Government agencies on environmental and

other regulatory matters;

• Continuously interact with the NGOs and Community groups to be involved in the

project;

• Assist the Supervision Consultant in establishing dialogue with the affected

communities and ensure that the environmental concerns and suggestions are

incorporated and implemented in the project;

• Review the environmental performance of the project through an assessment of the

periodic environmental monitoring reports submitted by the Supervision Consultants;

• Provide a summary of the same to the Project Manager, and initiate necessary

follow-up actions;

• Provide support and assistance to the Government Agencies and the MPRDC to

supervise the implementation of the EMP during the construction as well as

operation stage of the project;

• Assist Supervision Consultant in documenting the good practices in the project on

incorporation and integration of environmental issues into engineering design and on

implementing measures in the road construction and maintenance programs, and

dissemination of the same.

• Report to the Project manager on the environmental aspects pertaining to the project.

• Prepare periodic (monthly, quarterly and annual) reports for dissemination with-in

the MPRDC for the Asian Development Bank etc.

Supervision Consultants

The Construction Supervision Consultants, are expected to have in-house capability to

advise on and supervise the implementation of the EMP including making decisions

regarding applicability of enhancement design options and any modifications (if needed),

the appropriate landscape section to be applied etc. For this purpose, the Supervision




Consultants will employ a full time Environmental Specialist. The prime duty of the

Environmental Specialist would be to supervise the implementation of the EMP by the

Contractors and to ensure that the day-to-day construction activities are carried out in

environmentally sound and sustainable manner. The scope includes development of

environmental procures and good construction practices, development and delivery of

training programmes etc.

Contractors

The execution of the works will be the responsibility of the contractor. The contractor is

expected to have enough environmental expertise to incorporate environmentally

sensitized construction practices. As executioner of the EMP, the contractor is expected

to follow the specifications in letter and spirit. Though each contractor will have a set-up

for executing works specified in the EMP, it is expected that a certain portion of its staff

will have enough environmental awareness necessary for the successful completion of

the works entrusted.

The Contractors too will have to employ an Environmental Engineer/Specialist. The best

situation would be the use of Civil Engineer or Environmental Scientist with relevant

implementation experience of road projects and with an understanding of the

environmental issues.

The role and responsibilities that shall be entrusted to the Environmental

Engineer/Specialist shall be as follows:

• Develop and detail out an implementation plan for the Environmental Provisions as

envisaged in the EMP, and get it approved by the Supervision Consultants (SC);

• Continuously interact with the Environmental Specialist of the SC and the PWD

regarding the implementation of the environmental provisions;

• Identify suitable locations for siting of labour camps, construction waste disposal

locations, construction and vehicle parking/maintenance sites and obtain the approval

of the Environmental Specialist of the SC for the same;

• Ensure that proper environmental safeguards are being maintained at borrow sites

and quarries from which the contractor procures material for construction;

• Supervise and ensure adequate facilities including provision for the safety and health

of the workers and their families for construction as well as for the maintenance

labour camps;




• Liaison with the various Government Agencies (including the State Pollution Control

Board) during the construction period and obtain the requisite clearances; and

• Carryout the measurement of quantities of environmental enhancement, prepare the

bills of quantities for the works to be carried out for enhancement.

6.4 Training

6.4.1 Need for Training

The MPRDC, present environmental and social expertise should be strengthened as soon

as possible in order to enable the MPRDC to:

• Integrate social and environmental issues into its day-to-day operations; and

• Internalising environmental and social issues in its future road development projects.

In order to achieve this goal, the personnel need to be trained in road development and

environmental management and the effective implementation of environmental issues

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.

Concessionaire and construction supervision consultants operate the reporting system for

environmental condition and environmental management indicators.

The Environmental cell of PIU will operate the reporting system for environmental

management operation performance indicators. The PIU will see the targets for each

activity envisaged in the EMP beforehand and all reports will be against these targets.

Concessionaire will report to the environmental expert of construction supervision

consultants, on the progress of the implementation of environmental conditions and

management measures as per the monitoring plans. The environmental expert of

supervision consultants will in turn report to the PIU on a quarterly basis which will be

reviewed and forwarded by the PIU to the funding agency. The quarterly reports of the

EMP will form an integral part of the ‘Quarterly Progress Reports’ that are to be

regularly submitted to the funding agency. Reporting formats for concessionaires have

been prepared, which will form the basis of monitoring, by the environmental expert of

supervision consultants and/or the environmental cell as required.

Project Benefits & Conclusion: - This Project Corridor is a segment of 34.300 km

long SH-31(Labad) to NH-3(Manpur) connected to Ajmer- Edlabad-Nimach-Mandsaur –

Indore and provides the shortest route of transportation from northern part of India to the

southern part and vice-versa.. It enters Madhya Pradesh in Nayagaon, Indore and

continues traversing in the southerly direction upto Lebad, where it joins NH-59

(Ahmedabad-Godhra-Dhar-Indore highway) and thereafter runs in the easterly direction

up to Indore, One side the forest area which is totally avoided and finally this route is

selected for construction. After construction local people employment will generate,

Source of income will enhance, living standard of local people will enhance etc . Thus it

can be safely stated that the road construction activities will not have any adverse effect

on the surrounding and proper Environmental Management plan is adopted.
