1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 PROJECT BACKGROUND

Himachal Pradesh Government has taken up an ambitious road development plan for the over all economic development of theState. In this context, GOI has approached World Bank for loan assistance to support the project. After all studies including theStrategic Option Study, Feasibility study and detailed engineering the World Bank has in principle agreed to support the projectprovided all WB loan conditional ties are fulfilled. The final approval of the loan is expected to take place in the mid 2007. TheSOS studies were confined to the restricted carriageway width, and /or pavement conditions which result in capacity constraintsfor the high volumes of traffic carried by the roads, and also the connectivity of the roads. Following this, the feasibility anddetailed engineering studies were taken up during the early part of 2006. Based on population distribution and other locationrelated criteria's, Government of Himachal Pradesh (GOHP) has identified 413km of project roads well in advance to meet therequirement of the State to implement the project in a phased manner.

The document in hand is the EMP for the contract of 18 km of the Batch 1 roads out of the 413 km of phase 1 roads identifiedearlier. All studies including feasibility studies, detailed engineering studies, environmental and social impact managementstudies have been completed. This document represents the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) prepared for the ContractNo 4 with the Contract identification no: HPSRPNWB/UG/4/ICB, to be implemented by the Contractor in association with the PWDand the appointed supervision consultant's for the smooth and effective implementation of the project. The appointment of theConstruction Supervision Consultants (CSC) will be according to the ICB contract implementation requirements and the countrylaws and the WB policies and guidelines. A location map of the project road is provided in the Figure 1l1and are to be completedby the March- April 2007.

As described earlier this Environmental Management Plan (EMP) relates to Contract package No: HPSRPIWB/UG/4/ICB,project road Jahu-Kalkhar is a part of the Una-Barsar-Jahu-Nerchowk road. It has a length of 18 kms.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT ROAD. Jahu-Kalkhar


This secton -Jahu-Kalkhar- is the part of the project road- Una- Aghar- Barsar- Jahu -Kalkhar*- Mandi, which starts at Jahu town

in an intersecton with Una-Amb road and ends at Nerchowk located at a road junction along National Highway (NH-20) well

connected to Mandi town 10 km away. This secton facilitates to materialise the link of two important towns of the HP viz., Una

and Mandi. The link between Mandi and Nerchowk is already there along the National Highway (NH 20). This road passes

through extensive forest areas.This section does not pass through any Notified eco-sensitive areas and the land requirement for widening is also minimal.

Therefore this project does not require environmental clearance (EC) form the Ministry of environment and Forest (MOEF),

Government of India. Nevertheless for the purpose of the analysis and for the documentation the general standards of MOEF

apply to this document also. This includes analysis of a 20 km corridor with the PIA of 10 km on either side of the centre line of

the project road.ROW available along this section varies between 11 m to 12 m. Most of this section is single lane with carriage way width less

than 3.5 m and the remaining length is of narrow 2-lane to intermediate lane width. Overall road condition is from fair to poor

condibon. At km 92 the crusher is located at left hand of side of road.

1.2 FEASIBILITY STUDIES AND ALTERNATIVES

1.2.1 FEASIBILITY STUDIES

The feasibility study has been carried out for the road network of 1675km of roads (43 road links) identified/suggested by the

earlier Strategic Option studies (SOS). The feasibility study has come out with a list of high priority roads based on the

engineering and economic aspects prepared using the HDM model. The Economic Internal Rate of Return (EIRR) has been

calculated using the model for each of the project roads. EIRR computed for the Jahu-Kalkhar (Una-Barsar-Nerchowk) project

road is 47 % and NPV cost is INR 8079 million. (?) The roads, which have a rate of return 12 % and above have been

considered, qualified for the up-gradation. The EIRR does not include a comprehensive environmental and social screening and

scoping analysis. Therefore prioritisation based on these issues has been carried out by the environmental and social screening

and scoping studies as a part of the feasibility studies. Specific details are provided in the table 1.2 baseline details of the project

corridor.

1.2.2 ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED

As far as the contract package is concerned the widening options were very limited as the entire corridor pass through mountain

systems surrounded by forest in most of the Project influenced areas. Widening towards valley side is almost impossible except

the alternatve option of having expensive viaducts. Because of the same reason, the viaducts initially considered in the project

were later dropped from further considerafion.

The project improvement alternatives are provided in Table 1.3.

Table 1.3: Alternatives considered

Project Alternative A Base Case (do-nothing/ do-minimum)

Project Alternative B Improvement Upgrading to Two Lane Standards (including investment on bridges)

Project Alternative C Improvement Upgrading to Two Lane Standards (excluding investment on bridges)

Project Alternative D Widening and Strengthening to Four Lane Standards

Project Alternative E Overlay of Existing Road

The Alternative considered for Jahu-Kalkhar is B. The economic return is 47% and the Net Present Value is 8079 million rupees.

1.3 DESIGN PROPOSALS1.3.1.1 Proposed Cross Section Schedule

Subsequent to the completion of the alignment design, the cross sections were firmed up. In total, about 14 cross secdons havebeen formulated. While formulating these cross sections, the various variants that would represent the perspectives of existingpavement width, land use, geography and geology of along the project road was kept in mind. Details of use of various crosssection along the project road are furnished in cross section schedule in Drawing Volume. This cross section will have to bereviewed during the executon and necessary adjustments will be carried out as necessary. From the table it is clear that about1.9 km in the beginning is divided carriageway, out of the remaining length about 64 % of the length the Type 4 or Type 6 xsecdons were proposed. The full description of the design is given in the final design report.

1.3.1 .2 Realignment Locations

Realignment Locatons: Generally the realignments were carried out very ever it is imperative that the geometric improvementwould not result in any loss of property or the approaches to the new bridges. Initially the consultants were proposed about 35 to40 locadons out of which only 9 locatons were retained keeping in view of constraints mentioned above. The final realignmentsamount for a length of 2.39 km. The following are the locations where the alignment was deviated from the exisdng road:

1.3.1 .3 Retaining Wall Locations

Based on the designed alignment and on the basis of the topographic surveys results, the location where the normal fill slopes

cannot be used due to the topographic conditons, consultants have adopted the retaining wall. Stone Masonry with Plum

concrete was used for the construction of retaining wall. Detailed schedule of the retaining wall, which is established from the

superimposition of existing cross sections with design cross sections, is provided in Drawing Volume. The table 1.7 illustrates

brief summary on the basis of incidence of length requiring the protecton structures.

1.3.1.4 Road Side Drainage

The road side drainage is ensured by adopfing one of the three forms. These are decided keeping in view the land use along thecorridors, economical aspects with respect to the over all project cost. The three types of drain that are being provided under heproject are:

Trapezoidal Drain: This drain section is used in plain and or flat areas where the embankment heights are shallow. This drain isnormally unlined and would require regular maintenance by means of cleaning regularly.

V-Shaped Drain: This drain is provided normally in the cut slopes located in hilly and rolling terrain, this drain is lined in nature.Predominant lengths in hilly areas are provided with this type.

Covered Drain: Locations in built up areas, and those with pedestrian movement covered drain with sidewalk is being proposed.In the locations where the drains out lets are not available, covered footpath with sidewalk is proposed. In total 1 location alongthe 18 km long road covered drain of 1.50 km length is being provided. As per the requirement it is provided on one side or bothsides of the cross section.

1.3.1.5 Rain Shelter & Bus Bay

Based on the details of the existing bus shelter locations and the basis of consultations carried out by both social and

environmental teams, consultants have prepared detailed schedule for the rain shelter & bus bay. An attempt was made to

provide the bus shelter on either side; of the centre line so that weaving of the vehicles using the bus shelter would not impinge

on the free and safe movement of the traffic. However, due to restriction in site condition either due to heavily built-up or

topography there are instances where this facility is provided only on one side. It may happen at locations there may not be

enough space to build the Rain Shelter due to available width and the permanent structures in such cases only bus bay is

provided. A detailed schedule is provided in the Drawing Volume. The brief summary of the facility is provided in Table 1.9.

1.3.1.6 Major Intersections

Consultants have surveyed the major intersections along the project road section. In order to assess the requirements for type of

improvement, turning movement surveys were carried at important junction locations. From the analysis of the turning movement

survey none of the junctions would require grade separation or traffic signals for controlling traffic. However, consultants have

developed the layout for all the major intersections in accordance with the IRC guidelines. There are 12 major intersections out of

which two of three of them are with National Highways, remaining are with State and District Roads. The major intersection at

Bhambla with Joginder nagar Ghumarwin will be designed as part of the design for Joginder nagar Ghumarwin Road. The details

of major intersections along the project road are as given under, the lay out plans for each of them are provided in Drawing

Volume.

NO Intersection

1.3.1.7 Minor Intersections /Access Roads:

In addition to the above the consultants have surveyed the cross roads that abut the project road as part of the topographic

survey. These roads will have to be improved to establish the connectivity to the project road after the upgrading and

improvement works is completed. Various treatments to these minor intersections or access have been formulated. Depending

on the configuration and category of road the access treatments were suggested and are fumished in the Drawing Volume. The

brief summary of the access treatment along the road are provided in table no 1.11

1.3.2 PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS OF THE PROJECT ROAD

Less than 10% of the State roads are double laned, only 50% of the road length has drainage and valley side safety measures.

Depending on the present condition of the selected roads, different levels of improvement up gradation measures will be

required for different road stretches. The improvement works will mainly consists of

* Cutting of hill ward side for widening* Raising the formation level where ever required

* Upgrading/ improving road geometric* Widening to two-lane/ intermediate lane from existing intermediate-lane/ single-lane widths

* Pavement strengthening, and* Improving cross drainage* Stabilization of the hill slope as far as possible by breast walls, retaining walls and or bio engineering techniques

* Road stretches crossing urban areas may also require alternative new alignments or realignments, or provision for

drains, sidewalks and parking along existing road.

* Construction of bridges and their approach roads

* River training works* Pedestrian Guard rails and safety barriers

* Replacement of culverts and construction of new culverts:

* The replacement / rehabilitating of culverts will accommodate two full lanes for the full formation width.

. Realignments* Construction of viaducts

A total of 2.39 km of realignments has been considered in the project (Table 1.6) to improve safety. Including this 2.93 km of

realignment there are 9 locations (Appendix- 22) where in the project road widening has shifted to either Right hand side or Left

hand side leaving oxbow land (left over land portions) in all these locations. Several environmental enhancement proposals have

been recommended at these locations.* Road safety measures, Rain shelters (bus waiting shed) and Parking Area

* Vehicle parking areas may be provided wherever there is a space available away from junctions and pedestrian

crossings. Wherever possible, the provisions of bus lay bys have been included in the design.

* Implementation of a Resettlement Action Plan (RAP)

This is prepared as a separately bound volume. The RAP has elaborate implementation arrangements including the services of

NGOs.

1.4 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT

The Environmental and social screening Reports (ESR) has confirmed the environmental sensitivity more specifically ecological

sensitivity of the project road under consideration. The study has established the boundaries of the further studies required

(scoping) based on the proximity to ecologically sensitive and environmental sensitive areas. Accordingly Jahu-Kalkhar project

road considered in this report (Vol 2 -EMP) and a separately bound Vol 1 EA (EIA = EA+EMP, where EA and EMP are separate

volumes) for widening and up-gradation doesn't require GOI environmental clearance. The Project has to obtain State level

clearance from the State Pollution Control Board (PCB). Because of the World Bank's categorization as Category A projects, EIA

is also required to meet the WBs safe guard policies.

1.5 SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES

The project aims to achieve high standard with required cost effectiveness, coupled with necessary environmental management

standards for achieving sustainable development in the State. Therefore the objectives of the project can be stated as to alleviate

the current unsafe and congested conditions of the project roads connecting the villages and towns with one another and to the

NH network for the benefit of the road users at large. To achieve the environmental management standards, contract wise EMPs

are being prepared for sub projects. Jahu-Kalkhar project road having a length of 18 kms has been taken as a single Contract

package for International Competitive Bidding. This 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. The entire project with all the sub projects is

categorized as Category A by the World Bank, where as the sub projects has been individually classified as Category A and

category B by the GOls latest gazette notification of September 14 this year (2006).

1.5.1 ENVIRONMENTAL MITIGATION AND ENHANCEMENT MEASURES

Mitigation measures have been devised in such a way that the Contractor would be able to locate the location and chainage ofthe mitigafion measures accurately. All studies relating to the project has finally come out with an implementable environmentalmitigation & enhancement plans. This plan has been recommended for feasible and cost-effective measures to avoid, prevent orreduce significant negative impacts to acceptable levels. Apart from mitigation of the potential adverse impacts on theenvironmental components, the EMP identified opportunities that exist for the enhancement of the environmental quality alongthe corridor. This also includes the enhancement of specific enhancement of cultural properties along the corridor; some roaduser facilities such as bus lay bys and waiting sheds (part of civil work) and parking areas. EMP included management andredevelopment of destabilized slopes especially by including a pilot slope stabilization initiative viz., bioengineering. In order toimplement the Environmental management plan Contractor need to prepare specific plans for the following;

* Debris (Muck) disposal plan (Includes collection, transportation haul roads and disposal)* Construction phase Water management plan

Management plan for Construction camps, Labour camps,Management plan for plant sites (WMM Plan, Hot mix, Crushers etc)Accidents, safety and Traffic Management plan.

* This should include how the contractor wanted to execute the excavab'on of the hill ward side for widening and howdoes it links to the debris disposal plan. Contractor need to specify the timings/effectiveness wanted to remove theexcavated material. What is the method of storing the material and the location of intending material storage place.This EMP provides guidelines for the preparaton of all such plans.

EMP includes detailed specifications, bill of quantities (BOQ), execution drawings and contracting procedures for execution ofthe environmental mifigaton and enhancement measures suggested. This is separately considered for pre-construction,construcUon and operational stages of the project. Since the project is to be implemented under ICB contracting, higheststandards of project planning, Project Management and project implementab'on are to maintain. Therefore the Contractor needsto resort to international good practices not only in the implementation of EMP but also in all construction activites. The successof the project management is directly linked to the effective implementation of the EMP measures. All miUgation measures,avoidance measures and environmental enhancement measures recommended are to be implemented in a bmely and phasedmanner. Proper understanding of all environmental management measures especially the EMAP is a pre-requisite for all thoseworking from the Contractor's side.

The institutional arrangements required at the PWD, Contractors and the CSC (supervision consultants) have been definedproperly for the smooth implementation of the project components. A positive attitude from the project management and theindividual professional or staffs are always a pre-requisite for success of the EMP implementafion.

The EMP specifies the environmental supervision, monitoring and auditing requirements. The monitoring programme specifyparameters, reference standards, monitoring method, frequency, duration, locabion, reporting responsibilities, and what otherinputs (e.g., training) are necessary. The EMAP on the other hand provides an action plan showing the mitigation measures timeof implementaton, who will implement, at what location and who will supervise etc. This is provided for pre-construction,construction and post construction stages. The EMP listed all mandatory government clearance conditions, and the status ofprocuring clearances.

1.6 CLEARANCES REQUIRED FOR THE PROJECT

The project road considered in this contract package will not have to obtain National Environmental clearance as it does not falls inthe ecologically sensitive area. The PIA (7 km X 7 km) has very less forest cover especially protected forests. Table 1.11 andTable 1.12 are the clearance requirement during the preconstruction and construction phases

2.1 PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT

The project road entirely within Mandi district and passes through hill ranges.

2.1.1 AIR ENVIRONMENT

Air quality is generally good. The dust prone areas require sprinkling of water for suppression of the dust. The Contractor will

partially inherit the problem from the previous Contractor unless other wise completed and stabilised. There are no polluting

industries in PIA or in the adjoining areas. The areas have thick vegetation for most of the length.

The air pollution during construction would be very high 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 measures for controlling the air pollution are provided in table 3.1 Environmental management action

plan (EMAP). Due to an increase in the width of pavement and landscaping the dust levels created by traffic will decrease during

operational phase.

2.1.2 NOISE ENVIRONMENT

Ambient noise level is generally little of the order of 44 -59 dB (A). The natural sources of noise level are that of the prevailing

natural environment, natural forests and scattered settlements. The limited traffic plying along the project road also contributes to

the noise level.

The adverse impacts from the increase of noise during construction phase on the near by community will be reduced by several

construction phase mitigation plans. All possible mechanical and administrative controls will be practiced to reduce the adverse

impacts on the workers. In unavoidable situations personal protective equipments (PPE) will be provided to the workers based

on the nature of works.

Three numbers of sensitive receptors for the construction of noise barriers have been identified and the details are presented in

Appendix 9.0 and in design drawings in Appendix-21. These locations have been identified based on its proximity of the sensitive

receptors (schools and hospitals) to the road traffic and the absence of wall or the inadequate height of the existing walls.

Provision has been provided for additional barriers identified during construction phase. In all areas of identified noise barriers

public will be advised how the noise levels can be reduced by barriers such as solid walls and trees. The project does not

recommend expensive double glazed windows as an economically viable impact mitigation measure.

2.1.3 WATER ENVIRONMENT

The water environment is generally good. There is a slight increase of dissolved solids near kalkhar. All other water quality

parameters in this section is almost normal. The water quality of samples tested has been found good (Refer Vol 1 EA report).

Contractor needs to keep a copy of the Vol-1 EA and Vol-2 EMP in the contractor's site office. Other than the construction water

issue no major pollution points have been identified through out the length.. The construction vehicles are prohibited from

entering the riverbed for any purpose (including cleaning) other than any legitimate requirements. This is to avoid major pollution

points due to Petroleum oil and lubricants (POL).

The construction water requirement could be an issue during construction at certain stretches of the project road. As part of the

planning contractor is to prepare a contractors construction water management plan as per the guide lines provided in Appendix

16.

2.1.4 GEOLOGY AND MATERIAL SOURCES

Geologically the areas are not very stable and are seismically very active zone (zone IV and V) as per the Seismic zoning

classification of India. Slope stabilization measures are required to avoid major landslides. Land slips landslides mudflow and

other slope failures along the hill slopes are very common along the road. Details of the retaining wall locations have been

provide in Table 1.7 in section 1.3.1.3.


The material sources would be generally the materials obtained while widening (hill cuffing) the project road. Nevertheless as apre-requisite few quarries and borrow areas have been idenhfied and provided in Appendix- 4 and 5.

All borrow areas will be operated and redeveloped in accordance with the IRC 10:1961. MoRTH and applicable EMP clauses.Contractor may not require soils from borrow areas, as the hill ward side cuffing would be sufficient to meet the constructionrequirements. In case the Contractor find the qualities of the cut materials are not good for construction. Then other sources willhave to be explored. This is most unlikely as there would be many locations (in 18 km stretch) from which good quality materialsalso can be excavated. The soil found along the project road is shallow black brown and alluvial soils and other recently formedsoils.In addition to the above arrangements, Contractor will have to establish dedicated crushers units to generate adequate sand andaggregates so as to effectively utilise the excavated materials during widening.

2.2 BIO ENVIRONMENT

It has been identified that almost 60 -70 % of the PIA is Forest area. There are barren forest areas and dense green forest areas.

2.2.1 FLORAThe project location is in an area of highly diverse flora. There are many threatened plants in the endangered, criticallyendangered, threatened categories of flora in the region.

All forest patches that are abutting the project road are protected forests (PF). There are no Reserved Forests (RF) along thePIA. Details of some of the identified protected forests are provided in table 2.2

Table 2.2: Details of Forest immediately adjacent /in PIA of the Barsar-Bhota.

According to the latest notification on the re engineered environmental clearance process, this project falls in the Category B notrequiring an MOEF Clearance. More over the project also does not require Forest clearance as it requires more than 5 Ha ofForest land located immediately adjacent along the project road.

Contractor needs to maintain high vigil in all activities, including a control on the labour force so that there will not be any impactto the Forests. For all activities that involve forest area or forest produce must get written permission from the Forest departmentauthorities.

Project will require removing more than 533 trees from the side of the project road. hundreds of trees will be removed from theforest areas also. All this requires compensatory afforestation according to the Forest conservation Act. The forest departmentwill complete this task up on payment.

2.2.2 FAUNASimilarly the project location is in an area of highly diverse fauna. There are many threatened species of the endangered,critically endangered, threatened categories of fauna in the region. All consultations carried out with the local communities andthe forest officials do confirm the high faunal presence in the PIA.

Contractor shall not establish camps in the vicinity of forests within 500m distance. Contractor will have to vigorously implementthe Table 3.1 Environmental Management Action Plan (EMAP), which specifies the dos and don'ts in the Forest areas. In orderto address all flora, fauna and biodiversity related

2.3 SOCIO CULTURAL ENVIRONMENTThe socio economic environment has considered the land use changes, impact to drinking water sources, impact to land andproperties and impact to cultural properties. Project has integrated several mitigation, avoidance and enhancement plans relatingto socio economic aspects that include provision for parking areas, bus bays, rain shelters etc in to the engineering design toimprove the quality of life in these areas.

2.3.1 RESETTLEMENT AND REHABILITATION

A separate study has been carried out and a Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) prepared for land acquisition and resettlement of

people and properties. This is being taken up separately for implementation with the help of an NGO. The land acquisition

process has been started for the Jahu-Kalkhar project road with the section 4.1 notification in the month of October 2006.

2.3.2 CULTURAL PROPERTIES

2.3.2.1 Temples and shrinesHimachal Pradesh is well known as Dev Bhoomi with numerous temples distributed through out the State. The project road

Jahu-kalkhar is also known for the number of temples along the project road. Nevertheless the number of directly and indirectly

impacted temples are only two. A cultural property rehabilitation plan will be in place after the design of all 413 kms of project

roads. Those that require shifting will be dealt with in the Resettlement Action Plan (RAP). Those that require enhancement are

included in the EMP.

2.3.2.2 Archaeological structuresThere are no archaeological structures coming in the PIA of the poject road

2.4 SAFETY AND HEALTH ASPECTS OF THE PROJECT

2.4.1 ROAD SAFETY IN DESIGN

Road safety is an important aspect of the modern design requirements. All possible road safety measures have been taken in to

consideration while designing the project. This includes provision for bus lay bys, parking areas, and also includes improved

lining and signing, guard rails at appropriate locations, pedestrian crossing facilities. Locations of all these features are provided

in the Volume of drawings. Near schools there would be raised footpath zebra crossing and a Standard road safety signage

relating to schools.

2.4.2 HEALTH AND SAFETY MEASURES FOR WORKERS AND LABOURS

Depending on the nature of work all workers shall be provided with adequate personal protective equipments. A list of personal

protective equipments (PPE) is provided in Appendix 10.

The project manager of the Construction contractor and the team leader of the CSC should wear the PPE as a role model so that

the safety culture will be transmitted to the lowest rank of the construction workers. This should be seen as an encouragement

for developing and inculcating a safety culture at all levels at work site.

First aid boxes with first aid leaf lets will be placed at all work places and at least four sets in each construction camps. A

selected group of workers will be trained to use the first aid so as to meet the emergencies at working zones and secondary work

sites. Arrangements with nearby health centres and local doctors will be made for treating injuries which need attention of

specialist doctors.

Contractor must ensure insurance to its workers covering through out the Construction contract period.

2.4.3 TRAFFIC SAFETY PLANS

During construction phase contractor is to prepare plans for the effective implementation of the traffic safety arrangements along

the construction zones. Contractor shall not open numerous construction fronts simultaneously. The number of opening fronts

should depend on the capability and capacity of the Contractor to effectively manage the work sites with his dedicated staff. Prior

to opening of new work fronts, after the completion of the work, the area should be safely closed in all respects with suitable

information or signboards.

The Contractor will have to prepare a 'Road safety, Accidents and Traffic management plan' with the guidelines provided in the

appendix 15. In this plan road safety are precautionary measures against accidents through out the length of the project road,

while accident plan is to take measures once an accident took place at work site and traffic management plan is the physical

managing of the traffic at critical work locations in accordance with the IRC guidelines on road safety at construction zones

(IRC:SP:55 2001). All safety precautions will be ensured during temporary and permanent works for the road construction and

details of the requirement are included in the volume of drawings, the specifications and Bills of quantities (BOQ). Based on

these, site-specific traffic management plan will be prepared and implemented by the Contractor and checked by theconstruction supervision consultants (CSC) during the construction stage.


2.4.4 HANDLING OF EXPLOSIVESConsiderable rock blastng would require along the project road, due to the presence of hard rocks, huge rock blocks etc on thehill ward side where the total widening would takes place. This need permission and licence from the department of explosives.

Further storing, transportation and its use require considerable safety requirements and arrangements. Therefore the Contractormust resort to all safety guidelines and best practices.

Near forest reserves Contractor shall use controlled/ silent blasting. Further a written permission will be required from the Forestdepartment especially from the wildlife wing.

2.4.5 HANDLING OF PETROLEUM PRODUCTS (POL)The use of petrol, oil and lubricants (POL) including bitumen and emulsions will be handled, stored and used in accordance withthe relevant rules, acts, and guidelines to avoid any impact to the environment and reduce the probability of the occurrence ofthe accidents. Wastes generated from the use of the petroleum products will also be disposed of safely as detailed in therelevant rules, regulations and guidelines. The rules and regulabons applicable for the handling of these products are listedbelow.

* Environmental protection Act, 1986* Petroleum act 1934* Petroleum rules, 2002

The Contractor has, not only the full responsibility for conforming to these rules and regulations but also to follow internabonallyaccepted best practices.

4 ENVIRONMENTAL ENHANCEMENT MEASURES

The various environmental enhancement measures considered include* Provision for additional parking areas /Oxbow land development* Rest area development (Development and Improvement of Oxbow land)* Bus bays or bus lay bys* Bus waiting sheds locally known as 'Rain shelters'* Cultural property enhancement

* Development of scenic spots along the project roads (tourism plus safety)* Improvement to drinking water sources

Further a number of environmental enhancement measures in addition to the impact mitigation and avoidance measures would also be cardedout as a part of the project. This include,

* Enhancement tree planting along the oxbow lands (2 ..760 km including realignmentlocations) and the other left over portions of the original PWD land provided in appendix12.

* Cultural property enhancement as a part of the cultural property rehabilitation plan(Appendix-3).

* Public amenities such as bus lay bys (all new facility enhancement), rain shelters (in additionto the compensatory rain shelters for lost ones), comfort stations (toilets) at parking areasand at rain shelters (Appednix-20 Design drawings for Environmental enhancement.

* Information boards for the tourist, pilgrimage and other important structures of importance

4.1 DISPLAY OF TOURIST LEVEL INFORMATIONThis relates to the information boards with regards to the tourism and pilgrimage areas so that all these structures are properly integrated to theproject roads. This will be a positive step towards tourisms prospects of the State.

HP is a tourist area and clear display of the name of tourist locations including names of rivers the lengths and catchments areas would be avery positive step for encouraging tourism with investment from tourism as well as PWD. The PIA has no major tourist attractive locations.

Provision for tourist information/sign boards at the access roads is provided in Appendix 20. This is also included in the BOQ NO 11Environmental mitigation works.

Further in this project, many of the existing oxbow land Appendix -22 areas could be developed in to comfort stations depending up on thelocation.

4.2 INTEGRATION OF VALLEY VIEW LOCATIONSThere no valley view locations in this section..

4.3 ENHANCEMENT OF SAFETY FEATURES IN THE DESIGN (BUS BAYS, RAIN SHELTER ANDPARKING AREAS)

For health and safety of the road users, it is necessary to maximise the utilisation of the existing space. In this regards it will be possible toprovide bus bays, rain shelter and a number of parking areas (including breakdown yard) in all available spaces.

This includes all parking areas and all new bus lay bys, rain shelters, and cultural property enhancement.

4.3.1 SAFETY ENHANCEMENT -Bus LAY BYSBus lay bays have been provided in almost all areas of existing rain shelter locations for the project road depending up on the available space.A typical bus lay bys is provided in Appendix 21 design drawings. These measures will improve public convenience and safety and intended toallow free flow of traffic along the corridor.

~~~~~~YT ; Tz-..... TCTMIr A


Enforcement of all traffic safety measures is important at the bus bay locations. Right and left sections of bus bay shall not be facing to eachother at the same location. There should be pedestrian crossing facilities and proper signing of bus stops. Entry of other vehicles to the bus lay- bys must be prohibited. Taking all these aspects into consideration, bus lay - bys have been built into the designs as shown in Appendix -21and necessary provisions provided in the BOQ relating to Civil contract works.

4.3.2 ENHANCEMENT OF RAIN SHELTER/ BUS SHELTERS/BUS WAITING SHEDS

Due to the larger presence of pedestrians (in the built up areas) and rainfall conditions, rain shelters are required where ever it is presentlylocated. This is provided as an impact mitigation measures. In addition to this there are several others wherever the bus bays have beenprovided. During construction phase, the project authorities need to consult the local municipal and Panchayat authorities for finalizing theexact locations to avoid the conflict with the local interest (Any new area development plan) groups. There are provisions in the Project for thenecessary budget and included within the BOQ relating to civil construction Contract for implementation. It is also required to include the toiletfacilities in the design drawings to increase the usefulness of the rain shelter.

This aspect has been included in the BOQ bill no 11 titled Environmental mitigation works.

4.3.3 ENHANCEMENT TO PARKING FACILITIES -TRUCK, TAXI CARS AND BUS PARKING FACILITIES

Since this road is a link to the industrial area Una and Mehatpur and to Tourist area Mandi where in numerous trucks and Taxi operatethroughout the year. These trucks require parking areas and breakdown yards to avoid hindrance to the free flow of traffic.

Various studies carried out during the early preparation stage indicated the requirement of proper parking space. Therefore proper parkingareas and use is required as a part of good traffic management.

Typical designs required for parking areas are provided in the appendix-21 design drawings. In all busy junctions, it is necessary to constructparking areas separately.

Proposed parking areas are provided in the Appendix -19. There will be provision for separate parking space for these vehicles. This is atypical example. If such land kept unutilized could be encroached by individuals and could lead to huge loss for the local communities.Proposed Parking Area Design For TAXI is provided in the Appendix-1 9. Design drawings for Environmental management.

The space required will be of the order of 200 sq.m. This space should be secure and away from the existing available corridor. Raisedfootpaths will be required at these locations. The project will develop parking areas as shown in Appendix-19, provided land is alreadyavailable. Separate design for typical parking areas for cars, trucks etc are provided Appendix-21. Appendix-1 9 is the proposed parking areaswhere in no additional land acquisition would be required. All these area in the oxbow lands and other left over portions of the project roadROW.

4.4 ENHANCEMENT OF CULTURAL PROPERTIESA cultural property rehabilitation plan will be prepared utilizing the efforts of a cultural property specialist. This plan will have provisions forEnvironmental enhancement measures for the cultural properties that would be impacted as well as that are close to the highway. Those thatwill be impacted will be dealt with in the Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) and those that are close to the road would be dealt with in theEnvironmental Management Plan (EMP) for implementation by the Contractor.

4.4.1 ARCHAEOLOGICAL STRUCTURESICULTURAL PROPERTY AND MONUMENTS

No archaeological structures are there in the PIA

4.5 COMMUNITY SPACE

4.5.1 PLANTING ALONG THE OXBOW LAND (LEFT OVER PORTION OF THE EXISTING ROAD)

The tree planting explained in this section is different form the compensatory afforestation as per the tree planting strategy developedaccording to the Environmental Management Plan (EMP). Trees and shrubs need to be planted in all oxbow land areas available along theproject roads. To avoid any future encroachments no land shall be kept unutilised. Appendix-22 provides a list of oxbow land locationsavailable for various kind of development for the local communities.

Some of these locations could be useful for the development of the municipal solid waste disposal areas, while some other could be useful for

the development of comfort stations and rest areas. This part is provided in the remaining section of the document.

4.5.2 DEVELOPMENT OF REALIGNMENTS AND BRIDGE RELOCATION AREASAs a part of environmental management, it is necessary to develop the left over portion (oxbow land) of the (1) realignments and (2) new bridgealignments sections. These areas will be heavily planted and parking areas developed. Depending up on the space available, a full-scale restarea can also be developed in such locations. In almost all bridge sites, the environmental survey has identified solid waste disposal areas.

A 7


This should not be allowed to continue instead a certain area in the vicinity should be used to pile up the municipal waste. Local bodies shouldbe entrusted to dispose this safely on a weekly or monthly basis.

Municipal waste disposal for the 5 settlements identified along the project road is provided in BOQ.

5 MONITORING PROGRAMME

The monitoring programme consists of performance indicators, reporting formats and necessary budgetary provisions. Out of this thebudgetary provisions are confidential and are not supposed to be part of the disclosure statement. Thebudgetary statements are provided in section 7.0 for the purpose of evaluation of the EMP.

The contractors monitoring plan should be in accordance with the baseline environmental monitoring, locations provided in the Environmental

impact assessment report.

The monitoring plan has the following objective* To ensure effective implementation of EMP* To comply with all applicable environmental, safety, labour and local legislation* To ensure that public opinions and obligations are taken in to account and respected to the required satisfaction level

* To modify the mitigation measures or implementing additional measures, if required

5.1 PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

Environmental components identified of a particular significance in affecting the environment at critical locations have been suggested as

performance indicators (PIS). For example near the construction site, a thick layer of dust over the near by vegetation/leaf is an indication that

the dust control measures are not effective. The performance indicators shall be evaluated under three heads as;

* Environmental condition indicators to determine efficacy of environmental management measures in control of air, noise, water and

soil pollution.* Environmental management indicators to determine compliance with the suggested environmental management measures

* 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 the Jahu-Kalkhar section are presented in table 5.1. Details of the performance

indicative parameters for each of the component have to be identified and reported during all stages of the implementation.

5.3 REPORTING SYSTEM

Reporting system for the suggested monitonng programme operates at two levels:* Reporting for environmental condition indicators and environmental management indicators* Reporting for operational performance indicators at the HPRIDC/PWD level.

Environmental monitoring involves regular checking of the environmental management issues detailed in the EMP and to ascertainwhether the mitigation measures are achieving their objectives, according to the EMP, with the progress of the works. It provides thenecessary feedback for Project management to keep the programme on schedule will still achieving the expected outcomes.

The Contractor, CSC and HPRIDC/PWD operate the reporting system for environmental conditions and environmental managementindicators. The reporting system is presented in Table 5.3. Reporting formats for Contractors and Construction Supervision consultantshave been prepared, which will form the basis of the implementation by the Contractor and monitoring by the CSC and HPRIDC/PWD.The list of reporting formats prepared for the Project is presented in Table 5.4 and Formats are presented in Appendix-14.

* The reporting system will start with the Construction Contractor who is the main executor of the implementation activities.The Contractor will report to the Construction Supervision Consultant, who in turn shall report to the HPRIDC/PWD. As acheck on that the Independent Environmental Review Consultant for EMP compliance will canyout the independent reviewof EMP compliance and submit a draft and final half yearly report to HPRIDC/PWD along with a note specifying the criticalissues and suggested actions to be take by the HPRIDC/ CSC/ Contractor.

* The Contractor will submit monthly and quarterly environmental compliance reports along with formal monthly and quarteriyreporting to the CSC.

* The CSC will submit separate quarterly environmental monitoring reports to HPRIDC/PWD in addition to submission of thesummary of the activities of the month in the formal monthly report including any deviations and corrective actions

* HPRIDC will be responsible for the preparation of the targets for identified non compliances in association with independentenvironmental reviewer for the EMP compliance.

* Solutions for further effective implementation may also emerge as a result of the compliance monitoring reports.* Photographic records will be kept to provide useful environmental monitoring tools. All material source points, disposal

locations, plant locations, camp locations, crusher locations etc should be photographed and kept as a record to understand the land use

* A full record of construction activities will be kept as part of normal Contractmonitoring system. Reporting and Monitoring Systems for various stages of construction and related activities have beenproposed in Table 5.3 and 5.4 are to ensure timely and effective implementation of the EMP.

* The operation stage monitoring reports may be annual or biannual, provided the Project Environmental Completion Reportshows that the implementation was satisfactory.

This reporting will be as follows:>0 Reporting by the Contractor to the CSC

The Environmental Officer of CSC can make required changes in the Formats specified in Appendix 14 of EMP to ensure effectivereporting of environmental issues. Some of the formats should be included in the Request for Inspection such as Debris disposal areaapproval request. For making any required changes in the frequency of reporting and change in the contents of the report for effectiveand simple for implementation and monitoring, CSC should discuss the reporting formats with the Contractor and HPRIDC. This will notonly ensure that the environmental provisions are addressed but also link the satisfactory compliance to environmental proceduresprior to approval of the Interim Payment Certificate (IPC) by the Engineer. In the regular monthly meeting the environmental aspectsshould also be discussed and the staff responsible for the implementation of the environmental management from the Contractor,HPRIDC/PWD and CSC should also be present.

6.1 INTEGRATION OF EMP WITHIN THE PROJECT

Table 3.1 is the Environmental Management Action Plan (EMAP), which describes the Environmental mitigation measures for projectimpact management.

Detailed environmental monitoring plans for air, noise, soil and water quality are presented in Table 5.2.

Tentative reporting formats for the reporting of the environmental aspects of the Contract are presented in the EMP in Appendix 14. EMPwill be reviewed by the Construction supervision Consultants (CSC) in discussion with the Contractor and HPRIDC/PWD within twomonths of mobilization of the Construction Contractor or before commencement of the works. The environmental measures suggested aspart of contract broadly falls into the following categories:

* Specific items shown in the volume of drawings, specifications and in the BOQ and summarized in this EMP.* Management measures that are stand-alone items and can be implemented by the Contractor

(as provision of oil interceptors, regulatory monitoring of environmental components etc)* Management measures that are to be taken up by the Contractor as part of permanent works in accordance with good

engineering practices* Enhancement measures directly related to the road development to improve public safety and convenience such as parking

areas, bus bays, bus waiting sheds etc all new and are part of road safety enhancement* Enhancement measures including measures indirectly related to the road construction

(enhancement of cultural properties, common property resources such as wastewater ponds etc).

The environmental management measures have been incorporated into the permanent and temporary work items. Separate provisionshave been made in the BOO for the items, which can be quantified separately. Other items that are specified but not priced separately inthe BOQ are to be included in the Contractors rates.

7 TRAINING AND CAPACITYBUILDING PLAN

It is a fact that the design consultants who prepared the Environmental Management plan (EMP) after detailed Environmental ImpactAssessment (EIA) has acquired considerable knowledge about the project, people as well as their resources. This need to be transferredto the concerned CSC officials/engineers. This does not show supremacy of the design consultants over the CSC but smooth transfer ofthe experience gained during various studies. This aspect was not respected and such training/workshop was hardly held. Consideringthis aspect and the over all requirement the following training programmes are being planned to various groups as provided in the Table-7.1.

APPENDIX 6: SELECTION AND MANAGEMENT OF CONSTRUCTION CAMP

* Water supply- Refers to water supply requirements at construction camps, construction,and also for the lost drinking water resources during resettlement and rehabilitation.

* Power plants- Refers to power plants required at camps, plants and at the constructionsites etc.

* Raw materials- Raw materials includes sand, wood, cement, rock, bricks etc are requiredfor constriction of camps, plants etc

• Construction camps - This include camps for managers, engineers, technicians, labourersetc.

• Housing- This refers to all housing requirement at plant sites, camps etc.

• Quarries- Refers to quarries for the construction works

* Blasting - Refers to any blasting requirement at quarries, approach roads, borrow areas etc.

* Access roads - required at camps, plant sites, borrow areas and quarry areas

* Hazardous materials - require at plant sites, quarries etc

* Waste (all kind of solid and liquid wastes) generated- wastes will be generated atconstruction zones, construction/labour camps, plant sites etc.

Construction Workers Camp: In all over India, road construction works are in peak stage. With several local/

regional/national and international contractors in place. The road construction work shows lack of seriousness towards this

issue. The Contractor usually does not provide legally and contractually required facilities for the unskilled labour, hired from

the local villages or are brought to the place of work from outside the State. The Contractor camps and other facilites are

set up in worst conditions even when the contract documents are clearly specifying the required standards. The associated

issues are as follows.

* Forest resources could be encroached up on in all possible ways by the labour force.Unauthorized tree felling to get fuel -wood even when alternative fuel is made available,Poaching of edible animals and birds of the locality in spite of prohibition,

* Poor sanitation arrangement and improper methods used for disposal of solid wastes andeffluent,

* Indigenous people getting invaded by imported construction labour - force, due to lack ofdiscipline,

* Transmission of communicable diseases to the local people by the construction workersdue to inappropriate health monitoring facilities, and

* Creating hazardous traffic flow at construction site due to lack of concern about the localneeds and provision for pedestrian.

Selection and Layout of Construction Camp

The construction camps for labour, accommodation, offices and construction plant sites shall be identified based on the

following guidelines. The construction site shall be located

* At a minimum distance of 1 km away from any major settlement or village.

* At a minimum distance of 300m of any major surface water course or body

If this is not possible the base camps should be located away from the settlements with the following precautions

1. The base camp should be enclosed with boundary wall.


2. Movement of the workers should be registered during the night time.

3. There should not be any disturbance to the local community.

4. Operation of the plant and machinery should be restricted to 6 am to 1Om

5. Care should be taken while starting and moving the heavy vehicles, there is a possibility that children of near

settlement may be playing with the machinery parked outside the camps.

Facilities at Workers Camps

During the construction stage of the Project the construction Contractor will construct and maintain necessary (temporary)

living accommodation and ancillary facilities for labour. It will be ensured that all the temporary accommodation will be

provided with uncontaminated water for drinking, cooking and washing. Adequate washing and bathing places shall be

provided, and kept in clean and drained condition. Construction camps will be sited away from vulnerable people and

adequate health care will be provided for the work force.

Sanitation Facilities: Construction camps shall be provided with sanitary latrines and urinals. Closed drainage systems

and the proper treatment systems according to the local conditions should be constructed for the proper flow and effective

treatment. The sewage system built for the camp will be operated properly to avoid health hazard, ground water and soil

pollution. Compost pits will be constructed for the disposal of the garbage and other biodegradable wastes generated from

the camps. Proper collection, transportation and disposal of the wastes will be ensured.

Shelter at Workplace: At such workplaces where the duration of the works will prevail for more than one month some

form of shelters will be provided for meals, resting, change of clothes and for keeping the tools of the work and personal

protective equipment. The height of shelter shall not be less than 3m from floor level to lowest part of the roof. Sheds shall

be kept clean and the space provided shall be on the basis of at least 1 m2 per head.

Canteen Facilities: A cooked food canteen on a moderate scale shall be provided for the benefit of workers wherever it is

considered necessary. All the wastes generated from the canteen will be treated/ disposed of as detailed in the other

sections of waste disposal.

Health Care Facilities: Health problems of the workers should be taken care of by providing basic health care facilities

through a health centre set up at the construction camps. The health centre will have at least a doctor (part time), nurses,

duty staff, medicines and minimum medical facilities to tackle first-aid requirements for minor accidental cases. Some

arrangements will be made with the nearest hospital to refer patients of major illnesses or critical cases.

Day Creche Facilities: At construction sites where women with very young children are employed, provision of a day

creche shall be provided. At construction sites where 20 or more women are ordinarily employed, a hut for children under

the age of 6 years shall be provided.

For ensuring the implementation of effective pollution control measures at the construction base camps andconstruction plant sites, redevelopment closure plans for the closure of these sites will be made part of the EnvironmentalManagement Plan of the construction Contract

APPENDIX 9: NOISE BARRIERS

1.0 TYPICAL DESIGNS FOR NOISE BARRIERS ARE ENCLOSED IN THE EMP DOCUMENT.Mitigation at the sensitive receptor locations may include posting of signs prohibiting the use of horns and, to the extentpossible, landscape planting to serve as green noise barriers. Effect of noise can be reduced considerably by the combinedeffect of sound insulating walls and green barriers. Nevertheless the putting of green barriers require at least 2-5m additionalspace between the solid barrier and the receptor. Principle of the designed barrier is also explained in the design sections.Proposed project mitigation actions are cost effective and implementable when compared to the generally recommendedexpensive double glazed windows.

2.0 SOUND INSULATING WALLS FOR SILENCE ZONESThe designs of these arrangements were proposed with a brick wall to act as a sound barrier. The hospitals, medicalcentres, schools and other educational institutions are affected by the traffic noise. A number of schools and a few hospitals(total 8 structures) have been identified adjacent to the road corridor.

3.0 GREEN BARRIERS FOR SILENCE ZONESThese are simply a thick layer of green plantation with small leaves acting as noise attenuates. These trees may be plantedjust 'inside" and adjacent to the wall. Contractors will be responsible for the implementation of the civil work. Treeplantations will be carried out by the forest department under the tree planting scheme of the project the implementationaspects are provided in the respective EMPs. In addition to the noise mitigation, the thick green barrier will also act as an airquality filter for traffic emission. A typical green barrier of 100 m length will have 300 trees in 4 ROWs.Noise mitigation techniques will be employed as may be warranted at each of the sensitive receptor sites tabulated in exhibit5.12. Definitive noise levels will be empirically determined at each site and selection of the mitigation technique will be madeon a site - specific basis in consultation with property owners. Co -ordination and implementation will be the responsibility ofthe Environmental Officer of the Construction Supervision consultants (CSC). Mitigation costs have been estimated as apart of the environmental costs of the project. Exhibit 9.5 provides the various sources of noise during construction phase.

APPENDIX 12: TREE PLANTATION STRATEGY

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This is the most common impact of any road-widening project. If the location of the project road is in dry areas, the degree ofimpact is more than in a wet area where the trees can be planted and grown easily. In the case Himachal Pradeshconsiderable vegetabon exists in the PIA as forests of various categories. Except along the Mehatpur-Una-Amb road there ishardly any planted avenue plantation along the prioritised project roads of 41 3kms.

The scopes for tree planting along hill roads are rather poor. Nevertheless there are many isolated patches of unutlised landalong the project road. Two sketches are prepared for the possibility of roadside planation. These are provided in Figure 1.0and 2.0. Figure 1.0 a standard plantation scheme for two lane road in (Plains) with shoulders @ 200 plants per km length(Refer SOS, 2006)The figure 2.0 is a standard plantation scheme for two lane road (in hills) with shoulders @ 100 plants per km length.

The main areas where afforestation is proposed are along the road on both sides where ever adequate ROW is available. Ifthis not possible at least one side and the side slope should be adequately protected by adopting slope stability measures.

2.0 PURPOSE OF TREE PLANTATION

The objectives of planfing trees and shrubs at selected enhancement sites against the felled trees are the following* To reduce the impacts of air and dust pollution and act as a natural filter to traffic emissions* To provide shade for the traffic as well as the pedestrians

To reduce the impact of vehicular noise caused by vehiclesTo arrest soil erosion on slopesBeautficaton of sites by planting selective ornamental shrubs, landscaping andturfing with grassesPlanting trees on the roadsides is to produce a softer greener landscape.To raise social forestry in order to improve the

* To act as a natural filter to the traffic emissions.

3.0 IMPACTED TREES

3.1 PUBLIC OWNED TREES-These are trees within the legal ROW of project road with in the control of PWD.

All these trees with in the forest reserves are also termed as public trees. However the procedure for cutting of these trees isdifferent from the normal trees with in the PWD ROW.

Platform trees: There are number of Good fully-grown Trees with beautiful canopy along most of the roads. There are 3impacted Platform trees along this section.

3.2 PRIVATE OWNED TREES-The number of private owned trees to be acquired outside the right of way will be high compared to the public trees withinthe right of way. The private trees that will be affected during widening and improvement will be subjected to compensationat the appropriate market rates. In addition to this the project will plant two trees for every tree removed as a compensatorytree planting measure irrespective of the size, species etc.

The total no of impacted trees along the project road areTrees with in the Road Right of way 533 NosTrees with in the Forest land to be acquired-Nos ( data not available)

* Trees that are falling in private lands-Nos ( data not vailable)

Therefore 1066 Nos of trees will be required to be planted as a compensatory tree planting as per the Forest conservationact. The data not available are to be obtained from the Social impact survey and land verification.

4.0 SELECTION OF TREES SPECIES

The selecton of the plants for greenery development is to be made as per the following criteria;

* Plants should be fast growing with dense canopy cover;* Preferably perennial and evergreen with large leaf area index;* Indigenous* Resistant to air pollutants involved, and* Should help to maintain the ecological and hydrological balance of the region

The most recommended trees for planting along the hill roadsides are provided in the following table. Species Selected forTree Plantation.

The plant species that are selected based on the climatic condition, soil characteristics and conditions of the area. The rowclosest to the main carriage way will be of shade plants. Similarly, subsequent rows will comprise of ornamental andflowering species. Mainly native deciduous species, which retain their foliage longest, with high crown forms, resistant tofungus and insects with rapid growth rate are selected for avenues. Lists of the species recommended as shade plants aregiven below:

5.0 COMPENSATORY TREE PLANTATION PROGRAMME

All trees that are cut and removed will be accountable as per the forest laws and efforts will be maintained to plant doublethe number of trees according to this tree plantation strategy.

Total number of trees that will be cut and removed will be more than 1000 private trees in addition to trees located with inthe forest reserves. This will require compensatory planting of 2000 trees along the sides of the newly constructed projectroad or in other locations.

Indigenous species of trees recommended above are most suited for the tree plantations. In order to make it tourist friendlyand beautiful same types of trees would be planted in the same location so that for every kilometre the trees would changeto new species.

Since the area has dense forest secfions, a very detailed study is being under taken bio biodiversity expert unUil that study iscomplete the exact loss and the consequent mitigation measures cannot be determined.

6.0 TREE PLANTING DURING CONSTRUCTION

6.1 TREE PLANTING ALONG THE ROADSIDESTree plantation will be the responsibility of the Forest department. Necessary budget has been made for the tree plantationand provided in the EMP. The total no of trees to be planted will be double the number of trees that will be removed from theroadsides for the improvement of the project road. The Forest Department will be responsible for obtaining sites and plantingtrees to compensate for the required tree cutting.

6.2 TREE PLANTING ALONG OXBOW LANDSIn rural areas, it is an accepted fact that the improvement of roads will result in the formation of numerous 'oxbow lands' allalong the hillsides where in suitable curve improvements and realignment takes place. The Oxbow lands are the existingroads where the road realignments are proposed. This is similar to the OXBOW LAKES formed durng the evolution of rivershence the name for easier identification for environmental management. The importance of the proper management of theseoxbow lands is there for an unavoidable outcome of the project. There were many alternatives available for the highwayauthority. Tree planting all along these oxbow lands could be very useful for the environmental enhancement of the region.This will help positively for tourism industry. The Oxbow lands along the corridors are available as described in theEnvironmental Management Plan for individual corridors.

7.0 PROTECTION MEASURES

The protection measures are discussed in this section

7.1 BARBED WIRE FENCINGBarbed wire fencing around the plantation area will be provided to protect the plants. Angle iron will be fixed at a spacing of5 m. with 3-stand stretched barbed wire.

7.2 PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES:

Plantation will be made in the monsoon months (July -August)The height of the plants should not be less than 1 ft. and should be supplied inpolythene bags which are not to be removed until the moment of planting

All plants supplied must be planted within three days of removal from the nurseryArrangements must be made to water in case of insufficient rains after planting

* 2 kgs of compost / manure are suggested for each pit before plantation

7.2.1 SHRUBSPrior to planting it is suggested to remove all loose debris, fill up with good soil and level the area. To ensure better growthand survival of grasses and shrubs, the surface should have sufficient layer of good quality soil (up to 45 cms). Shrubswhich are suggested for the road side and open area spaces where available should be selected from the following andagreed with the Environmental Specialist of the Construction Supervising Consultants Environmental Specialist:

M -: f--- --- T\T I IC' A Q1


Garna Caroissa spinarumKarir Caparis deciduaHins Capris zeylanica

Gandhala Murra yakoenigilMalla Zizypuhs nummulariaJhau Artemesia sppJindu Xanthium stumarium

Panwar Cassia toraJangli Mirch Capsicum fruitscens

Akk Ipomea gossypiolides

The Contractor will be responsible for planting of shrubs at enhancement sites and along bridge approaches duringconstruction phase.

7.2.2 TURFING WIH GRASSESThe Contractor will be responsible for turfing at enhancement sites and along bridge approaches during construction phase.

The cost for the turfing along the bridge approaches and high embankments are part of the Civil construction contract.

Grass lines are used to provide a strong surface cover at the slope but it also needs a well-prepared surface. If grass is tobe effective, then it must be allowed to establish properly on a slope which is not subject to undue stress from erosion andmass movement in its initial stages. To ensure this the 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 ofthe surface to be done by tankers with controlled flow sprinklers.

* After sowing, mulch of prepared and dried out herbs will be laid over the wholeseeded area in a thin layer so that the direct sunlight and transpiration loss may notaffect the grasses

* The grass species recommended for median are Khabbal, Dhaula, Palwan, Sariala andKahi.

Contractor will ensure that the condition of the site is good enough for the successful establishment of grasses and shrubs.They will also supervise all field operations like preparation of surface, sowing of grasses and quality of grass seeds used.

8.0 TREE PLANTATION COSTS

The plantation cost has been included in the bill of quantities (BOQ) under the non-civil contracts and provided in section 8.0of the Environmental management plan (EMP).

A tree - planting strategy is being developed which will meet all compensatory tree planting that will be cut during theimprovement of the roads including private trees. The cost provisions have been included in the EMP and BOQ.

9.0 MAINTENANCE OF TREES PLANTED

The trees planted once will be maintained at any cost for the full growth of at least for a period of three years.

A programme of compensatory afforestation has been proposed, not only to replace the trees, which must be cut toaccommodate road widening and improvements in geometric design, but also to upgrade the condition of adjacent areas.Trees will be re - planted at a rate of two for each one removed depending upon the location.Tree felling in other sites such as borrow areas- will be accommodated by the Contractor in the borrow area managementplan.

APPENDIX 16: GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR CONTRACTOR'S'CONSTRUCTION WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN'

1.0 INTRODUCTION

In Himachal Pradesh (HP) all roads are generally cutting across a number of perennial and non perennial rivers, streams,nallahs, Khuds tributaries etc. In hilly terrain, there are many stretches of roads which are dry during most part of the year(e.g. Theog-Chela section). Nevertheless the water requirement at the dry sections will be much more than the othersections. Besides the surface water sources there are numerous community drinking water sources along the project road.This includes springs, PWS, HPs, wells, Shallow tube wells etc.

The guidelines provided here are over and above the provisions include in the National Water Policy and State Water Policy.Therefore Contractor must refer to these two documents and if necessary consult the lrrigation department who preparedthe State policy.

2.0 WHY DO WE NEED A MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR MEETING THE WATER REQUIREMENT DURINGCONSTRUCTION?

The availability of water for construction is very limited and this is variable through out the section. The contractor may resortto take water from streams, rivers and other sources near by without the consent of all relevant officials and the localcommunities. There is every chance that the contractor's labor force (even without the knowledge of the Contractor) will tryto use and over use the existing community drinking water sources. In such cases community conflict could lead to stoppageof construction work and will hinder the progress of all activities. In the event of such occurrences there could be financialloss for the government and the people. More over the people hardship during construction will continue and worsen.

After all, a careful planning in this regard is going to save contractor's efforts and time. A well planned constructionprocedure will help the Contractor to finish the work in the scheduled date of completion.

3.0 QUANTITY OF WATER REQUIREMENT DURING CONSTRUCTION

During construction phase water will be required for the following,* Construction work along the road (e.g. for compaction)* In the plant site (e.g. Batch mixers, masonry works)* Water for drinking at plant sites, and at construction camps

If applies thump rule for the minimum requirement of water then 10,000 Ipd per running kilometer of work will be taken in toaccount.

4.0 CONVENTIONAL WATER SOURCES

The possible conventional source for the Contractor would be the followinga) Rivers (e.g. Beas)b) Reservoirs (e.g. Govind sagar)c) Streams, Nallahs, etcd) Deep bore wells etc

Other than this, there are non-conventional sources. These are the harvesting of;e) Rainwaterf) Snow waterg) Springs

(Refer:SRP/WB/UG/4/ICB/WM- 1)

nT


5.0 CONVENTIONAL WATER RESOURCES

5.1 RIVERS (E.G BEAS)Major rivers are the most conventional source of construction water that is feasible. Even then the Contractor needs toobtain all necessary permissions prior to the extraction of water. In this case the potential impact to water quality should beavoided. No vehicle wash shall be allowed in the river as it pollutes the river. The Petroleum, Oil and Lubricants (POL) canpollute the river water.

5.2 RESERVOIRS/DAMSContractor can use of reservoir water for construction. For example in the case of Una Nerchowk, possibility of use ofGovind Sagar reservoir shall be explored. All necessary written permission shall be obtained from all authorities that have astake in the dam water.

5.3 STREAMS AND NALLASIn the case of streams and nallas, Contractor constructs suitable water harvesting structure to harvest the stream water. Thedimension of the structure could be of the order of 5 m X 2m x 2m (20 m3)

For construcfion of this structure in the riverbed, Contractor should obtain written Permission from all concerneddepartments.

5.4 DEEP BORE WELLSThe scopes for deep bore wells are rather limited due to the Geomorphologic characteristics and the limited availability ofgroundwater

6.0 NON-CONVENTIONAL WATER RESOURCES

6.1 RAINWATERRain water-harvesting structures- a probable opbon. For construction water, in the scarcity/dry area, if required Contractorcan opt for harvesting of the rainwater. For that a water harvesting structure has to be constructed. Potential locafbons for aharvesting structure need to be identified in relations to the availability of water and water catchments area. This can beconstructed in the form of ponds with non-percolating tanks, which can be "kacha", tanks covering the Tarpaulins sheets atthe bottom. This is not a new concept. These are being used in many parts of the Himachal Pradesh. This will help theContractor to extract water for this purpose for the construcdon period.

6.2 SNOW WATERAlthough snow water is very unconventional, this could be very important source of construction water. Contractor will haveto look for suitable location to collect snow melt water during February-March April period. This is applicable on for theTheog- Rohru road..

The structure should be more or less similar to Rain water harvesting.

6.3 SPRINGSThe springs are concentrated discharge of Ground water appearing at the surface as continuous flow of water. These areabasically water table aquifer in the case of perennial springs. In the case of non - perennial springs this is the saturated soilwater the drains an area. Contractor should take permission from local communities as wells as from the Department for theuse of springs. This source is not recommended as a viable opfion along the project road. Nevertheless presence ofpotential springs out side the road ROW along the feeder roads could not be ruled out.

7.0 DOS AND DONTS FOR THE CONTRACTOR

There are a number of dos and Don'ts for the Contractor as provided below;> Contractor's vehicles shall not be allowed to wash in the river or stream. This is to avoid potential pollution from

POL residues.> Contractors shall not use water from the community drinking water sources such as;

T -i. A-,z, fl,,,rT TKIT rZ A


* Public water supply schemes* Community spring water sources* Community hand pumps* Community bore wells /shallow tube wells* Location of or the streams from which the community take drinking water

) Contractor shall obtain all legal approvals and clearances from the concerned departments.

Contractor shall consult the local communities where the water source has been identified.

> If the source is a spring -check discharge, dependency in consultation with local communities.

> If the source is nallalkhad- discharge data for the past several years need to be analysed, whether source is

perennial, or non-perennial, any irrigation scheme is running over it or not, if IPH* department is using it, or local

people using it or not. NOC* from all concerned authorities will be required.

) If the source is a major river like Beas-, In addition to the local permissions, Contractor may require obtaining written

permission from the State level authorides at Shimla.> If the sources is groundwater (a Hand pump/bore well or open deep well)- then its chemical composition and water

related tests are required to be obtained from the competent authority and an NOC* obtained from the competent

authority is also required.* IPH = Irrigation and Public Health Department.* NOC=No objecton certificate.

8.0 POST CONSTRUCTION STAGEOnce the Contractor finishes his job, this can be handed over to the local panchayath or for local communities.

The two possible alternate uses of this structure would beLocal communities of this area can use the same to meet their water needs

This could be a water hole for the wild life of that particular area.If the water source is snow melt water all necessary planning shall be carried out prior to the snow melt period. This

could be end February to end March.In the case of snow melt water only local permission to establish the 'kacha Tanks' i.e. This is a cost effective

structure. A local NGO or community groups is to be introduced to execute such type of works. So that the

Contractor can obtain considerable quantity of water. In this case after the construction phase, same local groups will

inherit the structure and there by will continue to use this.If road passes through a plain water scarcity prone area and if no nearby water source has been identified,

transportation is uneconomic, then Contractor should go for underground water option. If it is feasible and will not

lead to a serious depletion of the source ground water.

APPENDIX 17: GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF CONTRACTORS'DEBRIS DISPOSAL PLAN'

1.0 INTRODUCTIONThis is the most widely talked about impact of road widening in the State of Himachal Pradesh. Even the common man livingon the roads side is worried about the possibility of disposal of large amount of debris towards the valley side to hispremises. This could be apple orchards, other farming areas, his house etc. On an average 30,000 m3 per kilometre ofdebris would be generated. The maximum possible use for the road work would be 10-40 % depending on the kind ofmaterials that would be impacted. If not careful the massive soil erosion could take these loose materials in to the ArabianSea and to the Bay of Bengal (from Giri River and Pabbar River).

Hence the Contractor should plan for the disposal of muck in such a way so that it may not harm, or create any hindrance forthe implementation of the project. It's obvious that nearly a 10 million Cub.m of muck will be cut and removed during the hillaward side widening of Phase 1 roads. During the execution phase, Contractor should plan for its safe disposal according tothe geographical status of area.

A poor planning could lead to very poor engineering practces, community conflicts and the stoppage of the work etc thatcould incur huge losses to all concerned.

2.0 THE PROJECTThe Himachal State Roads Project (HSRP) is now planning to implement the phase 1 batch 1 roads. Altogether 250kms ofroads would be implemented in four ICB and one NCB contracts. Where ICB is the International competitive bidding andNCB is the national competitive biding process. The projects roads that are included in the batch 1 are the following;

Mehatpur-Una-AmbUna-Barsar-NerchowkTheog- Kharapatthar-Rohru

From the first road Mehatpur-Una-Amb road, no excess debris would be available. On the other hand this road wouldrequire considerable quantity of borrow and quarry materials. On the other hand there would be huge quantity of debrismaterials in both other two-project roads.

3.0 EXPECTED QUANTITIES OF DEBRIS GENERATEDAn analysis has been carried out to understand the quantum or the dimension of the issue. The expected quantified debrismaterials would be 1.68 million cubic meters for the Theog-Rohru and an estimated 2.268 million in the case of Una-Nerchowk. These quantities are quite large in terms of the space or area required for the disposal.

TABLE 1: AN ANALYSIS OF THE EXPECTED QUANTITY OF MATERIALS AVAILABLE

Theoa-Rohru | 80 | 70 | 56.000 | 30,000 1,680,000Una Nerchowk 126 60 75.600 30,000 2,268,000Total 206 130 131.600 Total 3,948,000

4.0 POSSIBLE USESThe excavated materials that can be used for the insitu construction purposes would be limited to as low as 10-20 %. This is mainly due tothe adequacy of the quality of the materials that would be generated. The expected possible use of the materials would be for thefollowing;

* Using it as the granular sub base (GSB)* Fill material to create embankments especially of the bridge approaches and realignment

I niiiQ R-Prn , P'J- CTr I TQ A


4.1 ENVIRONMENTAL ENHANCEMENT USES

Other possible environmental enhancement uses could be

* To create proposed parking areas* To use the oxbow lands available on the road sides

Where in the oxbow lands are the left over portion of the project road while realigning/, bypassing or by one side widening (RHS or LHS).

In the above in situ uses the quantity of materials required to use in the oxbow lands and the parking areas would be substantially higher.

In this case, the project can maximise the project benefits to many fold. If this is not carried out as part of the project all the PWD land

would be degraded and would be encroached by private people. In the long run, it will be a huge loss for the GOHP and for the people of

HP.

More over overall the project would remain as 'incomplete forever. To make a complete road we must address all issues that would be

generated by the project.

5.0 POSSIBLE IMPACTS DUE TO THE EXCAVATED DEBRIS MATERIALS

If not disposed off properly what would be the expected scenario? This is described in the following sub sections 5.1 to 5.5.

5.1 OBSTRUCTION TO NATURAL WATERCOURSES

The materials if not disposed off properly would be taken by the running water to the lowest portion of the valleys creating huge

obstruction to free flow of natural stream water. If people are residing nearby that would affect their life by way of flooding or by spoiling

the premises.

5.2 SILTATION IN SURFACE WATER RESERVOIRS

Most of the materials would be ultimately taken down stream through rivers and ultimately depositing in to reservoirs leading to heavy

siltation. This in turn would reduce the reservoir capacity substantially within a very short span. This could incur huge losses to the

exchequer. Desiltation is also expensive and normally carried out after many years of operation of reservoirs in the natural circumstances.

5.3 SOIL EROSIONMassive soil erosion is the most direct impact of the debris excavation. The precipitation and the consequent run off would erode the loose

materals by way of suspension and solution. Once reached up to the mainstream courses even the big boulders would be transported

down due to the steep gradients available along the stream courses.

5.4 SPOILING OF AGRICULTURAL LAND

As a usual practice mainly due to poor planning and limited resources, the Contactor usually throw the matenals to the near by valley

areas. This would be taken down to the private agricultural areas. The farmer will incur huge losses and may even sue the Contractor. As

a result the project could be stopped indefinitely leading to losses.

5.5 DESTRUCTION OF AGRICULTURAL CROPS

Destruction of agricultural crops immediately down the hill will require crop compensation there by reducing the profit margin of the

Contractor.

6.0 IDENTIFIED DISPOSAL AREAS

The Contractor should also try to make use of all disposal areas identified during the project preparation stage. These are provided in the

table 2.0.

if the road execution is approaching hill area , semi hill area and mountainous area, rocky area than at most important is tobe given screening i.e., to screen the debris into useful or non useful material. Useful means stones can be used asconstruction material and non useful can be used as development of the public, social and cultural properties as alreadywritten above. Such as parking places, school playground, bus bays, ground near any temple, Gurudwaras and masjids sothat people participation can be assured in well running of this international project. So it would be good if an NGO isintroduced to perform this task more efficiently.

6.1 PROPOSED TYPICAL DESIGNSThe proposed typical designs are provided in the Appendix-21 Design drawings. Most important characteristics of theidentified locatons are the requirement of retaining walls. The fill height has been fixed as two meter for it to be manageable.

7.0 DISPOSAL AREAS IDENTIFIED BY THE CONTRACTOR

In order to maximise the profits or at least to reduce the expenditure the Contractor usually resort to his own methods. Inthat process Contractor could find a number of more feasible areas.

8.0 DISPOSAL METHODS AND ITS LIMITATIONS

There are several constraints in the disposal of material in the identified locafions. These are* Disposal areas are uneven and irregular in shape in the hilly terrain* Most of the disposal areas would require construction of retaining walls* Disposal areas would require compaction* Disposal areas would require plantation* Would require consultation with all concerned* Would require written permission form all concerned* Would require to transport through difficult haul roads - may require maintenance* Need to transport safely with covered trucks using tarpaulin* No overloading and should be in small trucks or dumpers

8.1 LOCAL COMMUNITY GROUPSAt each identified debris disposal locatons, it is necessary to form local community groups. Entrust the duty of thesupervision and all other assistance to dumping process. Ultimately the disposed area should be compacted using roadrollers.

8.2 INFORMATION DISPLAY BOARDSThe capacity of the disposal locations, name of the location etc shall be written in an Information board at each identifieddisposal locations.

9.0 PROPOSED DESIGN

Contractor needs to plan the disposal in the following way.* Identify the disposal area* Need to photograph the present land use and condition of the area* Consult with all stake holders* Get written agreements from all concerned* Prepare a suitable design for the safe disposal* Construct all required structures (e.g. retaining wall)* Planting of fast growing poplar trees on the outer portion of the retaining wall in the form of a linear wall parallel tothe retaining wall* Estimate the quantities* Compact of the materials after disposal* Prepare a Contractors debris disposal plan with design drawings for each identified area

T ; A- - f---., n.rrT I IC A


With regards to plan, there would be only one disposal plan with small changes for each location. Contractors need to get

approvals for specific design for each identified disposal area.

10.0 PENALTIES

The biodiversity workshop on December 14 at Shimia has suggested stringent penalties for dumping of materials in

locations other than the pre-identified locations. This need to be worked out to avoid clandestine disposal in the midnight

hours. There are several cases of dumping of material randomly in many locatons.

APPENDIX 18: GUIDELINES FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF ROAD SECTION THROUGH FOREST AREAS1.0 INTRODUCTION

A Forest Area Management Plan for the impacted forest area is required for effective mitigation and enhancement measuresduring construction and operational phases of the project road. This will not allow any room for neglecting/avoiding of theimplement able measures. This will also define responsibilities of various institutions in this regard. Recently Word Bank(WB) has taken stringent measures for the environmental impact assessment and EMP requirements with the 10 Safe guardpolicies/Operational Policies. The project will trigger the World Bank Operational Policy OP 4.04 Natural Habitats. Thisrequirement is the basis of the preparation of this document. The document addressed the issues relating to the Forestareas in the PlAs as well as immediately adjacent to the project road. The measures have addressed the design,construction and operational phases on the project.A plan for considering a mini biosphere plan in the region has been informally available from the Forest department.Incorporation of effective mitigation measures is therefore necessary and important. This will be based on therecommendations of the ongoing biodiversity studies. All these clearances are expected by the April, 2007.

2.0 STATUS OF THE WORK RELATING TO THE UP-GRADATION

The actual construction work cannot be started until all environmental clearances are obtained from various agenciesincluding World Bank. The environmental clearance also includes forest clearance basically for the required land from forestreserves. Application for both clearances has been routed through two different agencies Viz., PCB and State ForestDepartment. A public hearing will be held in the affected districts and the various activities relating to this is to be initated.

3.0 FORESTS ALONG THIS CONTRACT

The PIA area of the project (Ten kilometre on either side) does not contain reserved forests. Also there are no wildlife areaswithin the PIA, therefore no special mitigation measures are required. The impacted forest sections are provided in table 1.0.This State Highway has a length of 18 km. The GOI need environmental clearance for those up-gradation roads passingthrough sensitive ecological resources, which include reserve forests as well.

4.0 FOREST LAND ACQUISITION & FOREST CLEARANCE PROCESS

Prior to the preparation of the application, a joint site verification exercise was carried out with forest officials and the PWDlocal Engineers. Specific details of this investigation are not yet available.An application is to be prepared in the prescribed application form and submitted to the relevant DFOs in consultation withthe Nodal officer of Forest Department at Head quarters at Shimla. This application will be verified by the respective DFOs.

5.0 COMPENSATORY AFFORESTATION PROGRAMME

Compensatory a forestation will be carried out for land to be acquired against the loss of trees from the area to be acquiredfor road reserves. PWD will plant an area double to that of the land acquisition.

6.0 IMPACT MITIGATION AND ENHANCEMENT MEASURES

Louis Rerver 1r,ml-n TNr T TQ A


This includes the legal requirement according to the (1) GOI forest laws and the (2) requirement according to the other laws.

The GOI requirements are provided in the section 4.1 and the other requirements are provided in section 4.2.

6.1 COMPENSATORY AFFORESTATION PROGRAMME

According to the afforestation programme PWD has agreed to plant an area double to that of the land area to be acquired.

This amount will be deposited with forest department.

In addition, a number of impact mitigation and enhancement measures are required for the Forest area that will be impacted.

The forest reserves adjacent to the project road do have high faunal value. For an approximate 10 Ha of forestland

acquisition the following measures are proposed.i) Considering this aspect, the project will provide demarcation of the forest boundary with the Project road by

providing barbed wire fencing through out the common boundary with forest reserves. This will be provided only

according to the recommendations of the ongoing Biodiversity Impact Assessment (BIA) studies.

ii) PWD is committed to compensate/plant trees according to the compensatory a forestation programme required

according to the Forest conservation Act 1980 as provided in paragraph 4.1

iii) Further, contractors are to set-up construction camps and plants (Hot mix, WMM plant etc) at least five km away

from the forest boundary. In this regard;

* Adequate training will be provided to contractors.

* The labour force will not allowed to enter forest reserves for the purpose of hunting, fuel wood collection, nuts

and fruit collection etc.* The debris and waste materials shall not be dumped inside /immediately out side forest areas and other

water sources.* Debris shall be disposed off according to the contractors debris disposal plan

* The source of construction water shall not be from the forest areas or immediately adjacent (within 2 km) to

the forest areas.* The construction work within the forest stretches should adhere to all international environmental standards

as laid out by the environmental management plan under the GOI/GOHP/WB rules and regulation.

During construction, the following measures will be taken in to consideration for effective implementation.

* No construction camps or other polluting plants within 0.5 kilometres of the forest reserves.

* No blasting shall be allowed during night time

* Blasting should be silent blasting along the forest reserves

* Blasting shall be confined to a particular time only. Best time would be 2-3 pm in day time.

* Hunting is strictly prohibited.* No cutting of trees from the forest reserves for any purpose relating to the construction work nor shall the

people associated with the project construction should enter the forest reserves other than any legal

requirements.* Contractor should erect appropriate sign boards during construction

* After construction, the CSC/HPRIDC should advice the locations for erecting the signboards including

advance signboards notifying the forest reserves.

* Immediately after construction fencing should be carried out parallel to the forest reserves.

* Any sign/indication of forest fires will be immediately notified to all concerned agencies

Immediately after construction, the contractors shall erect signboards and information boards close to the forest boundaries

according to the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) prepared for the link.

4.0 BORROW AREAS

This is also most unlikely that the corridor will require any borrow areas. However in the case of such an event where ina requirement of borrow areas then opening of new borrow areas could generate drainage issues and erosion andconsiderable loss of topsoil if adequate mitigation measures are not taken.

APPENDIX 23POLICY GUIDELINES FOR CONTROL OF LOCATION. INSTALLATION OR WORKING OF STONE

CRUSHERS AND THEIR REGISTRATION IN THE STATE OF HIMACHAL PRADESH.

GEOLOGICAL WINGDEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRIES

UDYOG BHAWAN, SHIMLA-1,

Taking into consideration the overriding principle of protection of ecology and environment, to ensure that not a single

stone crushing unit in the State causes any Pollution of any type and in consonance with the " River/Stream Bed Mining

Policy Guidelines for the State of Himachal Pradesh-2004" as notified on 28-2-2004, the State Government hereby makes

following Policy Guidelines for control of location, installation, workings of stone crushers and their registration thereof.

1.0 MINING LEASE MANDATORY FOR RUNNING A STONE CRUSHER.1.1 In order to ensure legal and regular supply of minor minerals, every owner of stone crusher, shall have a

valid mining lease for this purpose.1.2 In respect of River/Stream Bed Mining leases over larger area of ten hectare or above shall be given priority

for setting up of stone crushers.

For Hill Slope mining, lease area shall depend upon the size of crusher, availability of mineral and annual requirement of

mineral in relaton to scientific mining. In any case, the area shall not be less than 15 Bighas.

If the area is less than 15 Bighas and in no case less than 5 Bighas, the period of lease shall be determined, based on

reserves calculated and annual requirement as per the proposals given in the Working-cum-Environmental Management

Plan, which every lease holder shall have to prepare.

2.0 PROVISIONAL REGISTRATION OF STONE CRUSHER.2.1 No person shall install or run any stone crusher in any area within the State of Himachal Pradesh unless he obtains a

Provisional Registration from the Geological Wing, Department of Industries. For this an application in Form"A" shall be

submitted and it shall be accompanied by:-a) A fee of Rs. 2500/- (Two thousand and five hundred )only.b) Revenue record and site plan of the land on which the stone crusher is proposed to be installed, showing the
