1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Overall Project Description
1. The State of Jammu and Kashmir lies in the northernmost part of the country and shares
international border with Pakistan and China. This physiographic situation attaches
strategic importance to the region as well as the infrastructural development in the state.
The state has three main geographical regions namely Jammu, Kashmir valley and
highlands of Ladakh. As per details from Census 2011, Jammu and Kashmir has
population of 1.25 Crores, an increase from figure of 1.01 Crore in 2001 census. The
population forms 1.04% of India in 2011, compared to 0.99% in 2001. As per census
2011, the Sex Ratio of female is 889 per 1000 male, which is below national average of
940. While, in 2001 the sex ratio of female was 900 per 1000 males. The literacy rate has
seen an upward trend at 67.16% as per 2011 census as compared to the national literacy
rate of 64.80%, while in 2001 literacy rate stood at 55.52%.
2. Jammu and Srinagar are the two major cities where majority of urban population is
concentrated while other smaller towns share the rest. Urban infrastructure in these
places for long has been neglected and hence, is subject to severe urban infrastructure
problems. Although, at least, majority of population in Jammu and Srinagar cities have
been provided with piped water supplies, the other urban amenities remain neglected.
This is mainly due to meager investments made in the urban infrastructure either by
private or by public sector.
3. The Government of Jammu and Kashmir (GoJK), apart from the ADB financed Multi-
Sector Project for Infrastructure Rehabilitation (MPIR) in Jammu and Kashmir, again
approached ADB for assistance in urban sector development for more development
works and studies so as to implement comprehensively the urban sector reforms. The
GoJK through Jammu and Kashmir Economic Reconstruction Agency has conceived the
Jammu and Kashmir Urban Sector Development Investment Program (JKUSDIP) in its
effort to boost economic growth in Jammu and Kashmir State. The primary objective of
JKUSDIP is to promote economic development in Jammu and Kashmir State through
expansion of basic services such as water supply, sewerage, sanitation, drainage, solid
waste management, urban transport and other municipal functions in Jammu, Srinagar
and other important urban centers of the State. JKUSDIP will also strengthen the service
delivery capacity of the responsible state urban agencies and urban local bodies through
management reforms, capacity building and training.
1.2 Project Objectives
4. The proposed JKUSDIP will foster the economic growth in Jammu and Kashmir State.
The long term Project objectives are to contribute to the economic development of
Jammu and Kashmir through enhanced and sustainable growth in the main urban areas
with emphasis on promoting commerce and on improvement of livelihood for the poor.
5. The urban sector sub-projects are aimed at expansion of basic services such as water
supply, sanitation, waste management, urban transport and other municipal functions in
Jammu and Srinagar cities and other urban centers in order to cater to the demands and
JKUSDIP – Semi-Annual Environmental Monitoring Report (January 2016 – June 2016)
2
requirements of the increasing population. The overall program envisages the following
broad benefits:
i. Improved water supply system
ii. Improved sewerage/drainage systems
iii. Improved solid waste management
iv. Improved road and traffic (urban transport) conditions
v. Other municipal facilities
6. Besides the above mentioned outputs, the economic opportunity development plans
planned for five cities/towns (Kathua, Udhampur, Anantnag, Baramulla and Kargil) will
provide road map for future urban development in these towns. The investment program
will strengthen the service delivery capacity of the responsible state urban agencies and
urban local bodies (ULBs) through management reforms, capacity building and training
1.3 Environmental Category
7. The Project 1 under JKUSDIP was categorized as Environmental Category B, according to
ADB’s Environment Policy (2002). However, so far only one sub-project i.e., Procurement
of works at Sanitary landfill site Achan, Srinagar has been categorized as “B-sensitive”. All other subprojects under execution in Srinagar and Jammu have been categorized as
Category B.
1.4 Environmental Performance Indicators, if any
8. For effective monitoring, selected environmental parameters have been identified as
indicators which may be qualitatively and quantitatively measured and compared over a
period of time in order to assess/ensure the compliance to environmental management
plans (EMPs). The environmental performance indicators selected are physical, biological
and social characteristics identified as most important in affecting the environment at
critical locations all along the sub-project corridors. The parameters identified as
performance indicators are:
i. Compliance with environmental management and monitoring plans.
ii. Compliance to state/national environmental regulations.
iii. Monitoring of ambient air quality, water quality and noise levels and comparison with
baseline environmental quality and state/national standards.
iv. Biological parameters like survival success rate of plants and bio-indicators (like
frogs etc. as good indicator of environment) in case of Achan Landfill Site
1.5 Overall project progress, agreed milestones and implementation schedules
9. In Srinagar, overall project progress as on 30 June 2016 for the following four sub-projects;

1.6 Any other information useful for assessing environmental performance of the project.
11. All the necessary information useful for assessing performance of the project like EMP implementation status, Monthly EMP report,Environmental monitoring- Air, Water and Noise quality analysis have been furnished in this report. Public consultation and grievance redressal:
12. Public consultation has evolved as a useful tool in addressing the issues and rectification of the same wherever possible.The public consultation is the ongoing and continuous process, which is conducted on regular basis in Jammu and Srinagar subprojects under execution, with local residents to ensure that they are fully engaged in the project and have the opportunity to participate in its implementation. Formal consultations as well as adhoc regular discussions with the local residents both form part of the public consultation process (signature sheets of the public consultations attached as Appendix-
1).
13. Communication with the local residents is always open and views of the residents are taken into consideration during planning of the work programs under JKUSDIP so that the people suffer least disturbance and inconvenience as the work is executed.
14. Various issues were discussed during formal consultation which includes:-
a) Removal of surplus and waste material b) Restoration of damaged water supply connection c) Restoration of roads and lanes d) Inconvenience with regard to access disruption e) Dust and noise problems faced during execution of work f) Use of proper barricading to ensure the safety of public and workers.
15. Mitigation measures discussed during formal consultation includes:

32. The monitoring results during the reporting period of January to June 2016 shows the same
trend as evident in the previous monitoring report. The primary pollutants of SO2 and NO2at
all sites were well within the permissible limits as specified in NAAQ Standards. Minimum
oxide values were recorded at 6.07 and maximum at 16.9 µg/m3respectively.PM10 monitoring
during both the quarters were within the permissible limits except at S-A2 site which was
recorded at 131.2 µg/m3in May 2016.Similarly PM2.5 monitoring was conducted in both
quarters in February& May 2016 and in line with NAAQ standards.
33. Higher values of PM10recorded in May was mainly attributed to frequent movement of SMC
waste dumpers (Achan Landfill site received average 350+ MT of MSW per day) to SLF site
and due to the increase in temperature. A dedicated water tanker is stationed inside Landfill
site for regular water sprinkling to control dust due to the frequent plying of SMC waste
dumpers. Comparative analysis is illustrated in Figure3 and 4.

8 Baseline monitoring of Air quality was carried in the month of March 2012 for Cell-2 (SLF site at Achan) and rains
usually remain common phenomenon hence the values are on lower side for the evaluation or comparative analysis

35. PM10 monitoring conducted during the both quarters at site S-4 which shows values within the
permissible limit at 76.8 & 66.7µg/m3. However, no PM10 monitoring was possible for site S-7 and
S-8 due to the technical issue with the PM10 sampler.
36. At site S-4, PM2.5monitoring carried out for Quarter-2 in June 2016 shows the values at 37.4
µg/m3concentration which is well with the permissible limits as compared to exceedingly higher
values in Quarter-1 monitoring in comparison with NAAQ standards. The lower values in Q-2
monitoring is attributed to better dust suppression measures at the site.

37. The SO2 and NO2 remained within the permissible limits during monitoring period as evident in the
previous monitoring. Escalation in RSPM2.5at sites S-7 and S-8 was mainly due to the fugitive dust
generation at these sites, because of plying of vehicular traffic on adjacent roads and lanes.
Contractors were instructed to implement various mitigation measures as mentioned in EMP to
ensure control of dust generation. The comparative analysis of air quality monitoring results of
sub-projects in Jammu is illustrated below in Figure 3 & 4.

40. Noise quality monitoring conducted for the ongoing works of landfill site usually remain same
throughout the monitoring period. At S-N2 and S-N3 sites, noise levels relatively within the
permissible levels and in line with baseline data. The monitoring was done during day time.
Main source of noise at these sites was the movement of SMC vehicles (average 80 vehicles
carrying waste to SLF site) and JCB operated at Cell-2. Contractors were instructed to
implement mitigation measures as mentioned in EMP so as not to allow any increase in
present noise levels. Comparative analysis of noise quality/ levels at site S-N2 and S-N3 is
illustrated in Figure 5 & 6.

53. The samples of effluent were collected from the Leachate Treatment Plant (LTP’s) II and III. LTP 1
(having capacity of 30KLD) is non-functional since July 2015 due to the technical issues. All effluent
samples observed were colorless and odourless as recorded in the previous samples. The DO of the
effluent sample was found on lower side mainly due to the least atmospheric interaction in LTP
process. Higher DO can be achieved through cascading effect (by way of non-streamline flow through
drainage channel) from LTP to disposal point at Achan Stream. pH, Electrical conductivity, TDS and
total Alkalinity were well within the permissible limits. Leachate effluent is discharged in the Achan
Stream (inland surface water) and the temperature difference is only average 1-4°C against ≤5°C.
54. The Electrical Conductivity, BOD, TSS and TDS have been observed exceedingly on higher side as
recorded in the previous reporting period. This is mainly attributed to the presence of high organic
load of raw leachate, incomplete bio-degradation process due to the non-segregated waste brought
to Cell-2andimproper operation &maintenance of LTP’s. Huge influx of high concentrated base
parameters as evident (refer Table 10and Fig 10 and 11 for comparative analysis) may not cater by
the LTP’s in a longer run as reported in the previous reports. In view of this, corrective measures are
instructed by way of regular and proper O&M of LTP’s and more importantly change in membrane filters and servicing of LTP’s.
55. In general, the present characteristics of higher values of Cell-2 shows active extended acidogenic
phase. Extension is mainly attributed to 100% non-segregated waste received from SMC. This is an indication of active disintegration or degradation process of lower strata under complete anaerobic state. The non-segregated waste shows incomplete degradation process happening in Cell-2 resulting into deterioration of RO based LTP’s. This has resulted into continuous inflow of rich leachate to LTP’s.
56. Comparative analysis of treated leachate characteristics is illustrated in 14Figures-10(a-i) and 11is
provided below;

58. Ground water samples were collected from the Tube well at a depth of 62 meters which is motor driven and is located within the premises of the Sanitary Landfill at Achan near the site office. The ground water was found odourless and cloudy (turbid).
59. Ground water analysis shows more or less similar physio-chemical characteristics as recorded in
previous reports. DO usually remain to lower end due to the depth factor and least atmospheric
interactions as direct impinging of oxygen is resisted due to underground condition. pH of the ground
water meets the water quality criteria. The ground water study revealed high conductivity and may be
due to the presence of wide variety of dissolved inorganic constituents, resulting from chemical and
biochemical interactions between water and other geological constituents. High Turbidity of the water
is mainly attributed to suction action of the submersible motor which is correlated to depth factor which
leads to turbidity factor and may be due to the high values. The value of conductivity and Turbidity
were higher than Water Quality standards. BOD is found within the permissible standards except
slightly higher side in April 2016.This tube well (ground water) cannot be used as drinking water
source.
60. Comparative analysis of ground water characteristics is illustrated in Figure-12(a-l) and 13below;
15Due to the Electricity failure it was not possible to collect the water samples from the Motor driven Bore Well at Achan Landfill site.

62. Achan Stream/ Nallah water samples were collected from this waterbody near the Achan landfill sitewhich usually have variable discharge. The Water was found to be colourless with fishy odour due to the stale nature of Achan Stream. This stream is surrounded by human habitations and agricultural fields. Direct dumping of domestic and agricultural wastes (both liquid/ solid) was also observed during the sampling period.
16 SW-4 sampling was not possible in March and May 2016 due to bad weather and unavoidable circumstances at Achan.

63. The flow regime of stream water usually remain low and its surface was found with macrophytes like Phragmites, Typha, Scirpus, Lemna, sp. with detritus activity which is the indicator of stagnant nature and high eutrophic load of water body.
64. Achan streamshows DO level at an average 4 mg/l throughout the reporting period mainly due to the above characteristics of the water body but better than baseline monitoring in 2012. TheBOD of the stream due to the least winter flow and stagnant nature and higher values due to the presence of high organic load produced by the dumping of domestic and agricultural wastes by the locals. Conductivity and TDS are found well within the permissible limits. Total Suspended Solids of the stream was found on higher side and may be due to the presence of detritus and litter. The physio-chemical characteristics of Achan Stream/ Nallah show all the parameters in line with permissible standards. Whereas, the baseline characteristics were exceeding the present monitoring results.
65. Based on the above discussion, it is concluded that no impact is seen on the waterbody in relation to
treated discharge from RO based LTP effluent. Comparative analysis of Achan Stream characteristics is illustrated in Figures- 14(a-l) and 15
