3. The key outcome envisaged from the project is “effective urban water service delivery model rolled out in selective urban clusters of the State with the objective of achieving the following performance indicators by the year 2022.

4. Subproject Detail: This Initial Environmental Examination report deals with water supply scheme of Package 1C towns contains Sohagpur and Bankhedi in Hoshangabad district in Madhya Pradesh. Improvement of water supply in towns is one of the projects proposed under the program. Sohagpur and Bankhedi are situated in Hoshangabad District. The area of Sohagpur town is 12.48Sqkms and population as per 2011 census is 25044. The Bankhedi town has an area of 32.73Sqkms and population as per 2011 census is 22067.

5. (A) Sohagpur: The Sohagpur WSS include (i) Construction of intake well and raw water

pump House at Narmada river (ii) Water treatment plant of 5.50 MLD capacity; (iii) Construction of three new OHT of 900 KL, 600 KL and 250KL capacity ; using of existing 110 KL OHT and reconditioning of existing 300 KL OHT (iv) 15500 m of raw water rising mains of 300mm dia and 2600 m of clear water feeder mains (v) 57624 m of distribution lines proposed in Sohagpur.

6. (B) Bankhedi: The Bankhedi WSS include (i) proposal of 11 number of tube well (ii) 4155m

of transmission mains from tube wells to OHTs of dia 100mm and 150mm (iii) Proposal for utilization of existing 80 KL OHT and construction of five new OHT of capacity 100KL, 200KL, 200KL, 700KL and 150KL. (iv) 79503 m of distribution lines proposed in Bankhedi.

7. Screening and assessment of potential impacts: ADB requires the consideration of

environmental issues in all aspects of the Bank‟s operations, and the requirements for environmental assessment are described in ADB‟s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS), 2009. The potential environmental impacts of the subproject have been assessed using ADB Rapid Environmental Assessment Checklist for Water Supply. Then potential negative impacts were identified in relation to pre-construction, construction and operation of the improved infrastructure.

8. The subproject is unlikely to cause significant adverse impacts because: (i) the

components will involve straightforward construction and operation, so impacts will be mainly localized; (ii) predicted impacts are site-specific and likely to be associated with the construction process and are produced because the process is invasive, involving excavation and earth movements; and (iii) being located mainly in an existing built-up area, will not cause direct impact on terrestrial biodiversity values. Potential negative impacts mainly arise from disturbance of residents, businesses, increase in traffic, increase in noise level and dusts, and the need to dispose moderate quantities of waste soil during construction phase and generation of sludge from the WTP during operation and maintenance phase. However, there are well-developed methods for mitigation of these impacts to acceptable levels.

9. Categorization. Based on results of the assessment and ADB SPS, the subproject is

classified as environmental Category B, i.e., the subproject is judged to be unlikely to have significant adverse environmental impacts. An initial environmental examination (IEE) is required to determine whether significant environmental impacts warranting an environmental impact assessment are likely.

10. This IEE aims to (i) provide critical facts, significant finding, and recommended actions; (ii) 8

present the national and local legal and institutional framework within which the environmental assessment has been carried out; (iii) provide information on existing geographic, ecological, social and temporal context including associated facilities within the subproject’s area of influence; (iv) assess the subproject’s likely positive and negative direct and indirect impacts to physical, biological, socioeconomic, and physical cultural resources in the subproject’s area of influence; (v) identify mitigation measures and any residual negative impacts that cannot be mitigated; (vi) describe the process undertaken during project design to engage stakeholders and the planned information disclosure measures and the process for carrying out consultation with affected people and facilitating their participation during project implementation; (vii) describe the subproject’s grievance redress mechanism for resolving complaints about environmental performance; (viii) present the set of mitigation measures to be undertaken to avoid, reduce, mitigate, or compensate for adverse environmental impacts; (ix) to describe the monitoring measures and reporting procedures to ensure early detection of conditions that necessitate particular mitigation measures; and (x) identify indicative costs and who is responsible for carrying out the mitigation and monitoring measures.

11. Description of Environment: Proposed subproject component area under the Sohagpur and Bankhedi in Hoshangabad District. Sohagpur and Bankhedi: both the towns are situated around 8km from the Satpura forest reservoir from its periphery. Satpura forest reservoir is much enriched with biodiversity. While there will not be any impact during commissioning of the proposed water supply scheme in both the town as the impact due to construction work will be localized. The proposed intake well for Sohagpur is situated at Narmada River. The project area – municipal area of Sohagpur Nagar Parishad and Bankhedi Nagar Parishad, comprises the habitat area of Sohagpur and Bankhedi town respectively. WTP and overhead tank in Sohagpur is proposed on vacant land. The immediate surroundings were converted into urban use for many years ago, and there is no natural habitat left at the subproject sites. In Bankhedi also, all the overhead tank is proposed on vacant government land with no natural habitat.

12. Source Sustainability: For the Sohagpur town, the demand of water supply for the year 2018, 2033 & 2048 are estimated to the tune of 4.50 MLD, 5.20 MLD & 6.00 MLD respectively. Thus maximum of 6.00 MLD intake form the source per annum i.e. 2190 ML (2.19 MCM) of drawl of water is to be ensured. Average Water Resource Potential of Narmada River is 45639 MCM, while Utilizable Surface Water Resource is 34500 MCM. No flow data is available for the Narmada River at the point of water abstraction as well as nearby downstream and upstream side of Sohagpur as there is no gauge by WRD. Considering the low water requirement of town (6.0MLD) and perennial nature of river, it is assessed to be unlikely to have any issue of source sustainability. The water quality at the abstraction point was carried out as per drinking water standard and it is found that all the parameter was under permissible limit.

13. In Bankhedi, For ensuring the source sustainability, water yield test of existing tube wells

was carried out. The yield test was done on 03/06/2016 of 10 number of tube wells on different location of Bankhedi. Pump of capacity 7.5HP for single tube well, 12.0HP for

9

single tube well, 12.5HP for 1 tube well, 10 HP pump for 6 tube well respectively. Yield of 9 number of tube well was found 19.04KL/hr, 19.58KL/hr, 20.16KL/hr, 18.04KL/hr, 12.24KL/hr, 23.22KL/hr, 18.25KL/hr, 18.65KL/hr and 13.43/hr respectively. Average yield of all the tube well is found 18.07 KL/hr. Water demand for design period (2048) in Bankhedi is 3.3MLD. So, water will be drawn in 2048 at the rate of 137.5KL/hr. In Bankhedi, total 21 (10 old and 11 new) tube wells are proposed to drawn the water from underground source. Thus average rate of water drawn from single tube well will be 6.54KL/hr. Average yield of single tube well was found 18.07, which is much higher than the rate of water drawn. Thus, it is found that the underground water source is well sustainable to supply the water in Bankhedi for design period. Water analysis of different existing tube wells in Bankhedi was carried out as drinking water standard. All the drinking water parameters were found under permissible limit as described in IS-10500. So, the underground water source was found sustainable fir supplying water in Bankhedi in terms of quantity as well quantity.

14. Environmental Management Plan. An environmental management plan (EMP) has been developed to provide mitigation measures to reduce all negative impacts to acceptable levels. Locations and siting of the proposed infrastructures were considered to further reduce impacts. These include (i) locating facilities on government-owned land to avoid the need for land acquisition and relocation of people; and (ii) laying of pipes in RoW alongside main/access roads, to reduce acquisition of land and impacts on livelihoods specifically in densely populated areas of the town.

15. The EMP includes design measures such as (i) selection of sustainable water source.; (ii) wash water recovery for the WTP to reduce effluent to be discharged; (iii) beneficial use of treated sludge; and (iv) quick leak detection and rectification to save the resources, etc. During construction, the EMP includes mitigation measures such as (i) implementation of traffic management plan in coordination with local traffic police to minimize traffic impacts; (ii) awareness campaigns and consultations to inform residents and businesses of potential disturbances; (iii) provision of walkways and planks over trenches to ensure access will not be impeded; (iv) appropriate scheduling of works to avoid peak tourist season in important places; (v) use of noise-dampening measures in areas with sensitive receptors such as hospitals, schools, places of worships and other silence-zones; (vi) use of dust-suppression methods such as watering and/or covering of stockpiles; and (vii) finding beneficial use of excavated materials to extent possible to reduce the quantity that will be disposed off. As for the O&M phase, facilities will need to be repaired from time to time, but environmental impacts will be much less than those of the construction period as the work will be infrequent, affecting small areas only. The design of the WTP includes dewatering and drying areas as part of sludge management. The EMP includes mitigation measures and monitoring plan to ensure compliance to environmental standards during O&M phase.

16. In the absence of any reliable surface water source in the proximity, it is proposed to continue groundwater source for Bankhedi. However, given the current critical stage of groundwater development, the abstraction should be combined with groundwater augmentation measures, and therefore it is proposed to undertake a detail study and include the recommendation of the study in the project implementation. This study will look into both groundwater sustainability and quality. During the construction phase, impacts mainly arise from the need to dispose of moderate quantities of waste soil

10

and disturbance of residents, businesses, and traffic. These are common temporary impacts of construction in urban areas, and there are well developed methods for their mitigation. Mitigation measures have been developed to reduce all negative impacts to acceptable levels.

17. The EMP will guide the environmentally-sound construction of the subproject and ensure

efficient lines of communication between Madhya Pradesh Urban Development Company (MPUDC), project management unit (PMU), project implementing unit (PIU), consultants and contractors. The EMP will (i) ensure that the activities are undertaken in a responsible non-detrimental manner; (i) provide a pro-active, feasible and practical working tool to enable the measurement and monitoring of environmental performance on site; (ii) guide and control the implementation of findings and recommendations of the environmental assessment conducted for the subproject; (iii) detail specific actions deemed necessary to assist in mitigating the environmental impact of the subproject; and (iv) ensure that safety recommendations are complied with. The EMP includes a monitoring program to measure the environmental condition and effectiveness of implementation of the mitigation measures. It will include observations on- and off-site, document checks, and interviews with workers and beneficiaries.

18. The contractor will be required to submit to PMU, for review and approval, a site environmental plan (SEP) including (i) proposed sites/locations for construction work camps, storage areas, hauling roads, lay down areas, disposal areas for solid and hazardous wastes; (ii) specific mitigation measures following the approved EMP; (iii) monitoring program as per SEP; and (iv) budget for SEP implementation. No works are allowed to commence prior to approval of SEP.

19. Consultation, disclosure and grievance redress mechanism. The stakeholders were

involved in developing the IEE through discussions on-site and public consultation at several places in the town, after which views expressed were incorporated into the IEE and in the planning and development of the project. The IEE will be made available at public locations and will be disclosed to a wider audience via the ADB, MPUDC and PMU websites. The consultation process will be continued and expanded during project implementation to ensure that stakeholders are fully engaged in the project and have the opportunity to participate in its development and implementation. A grievance redress mechanism is described within the IEE to ensure any public grievances are addressed quickly.

20. Implementation Arrangements. Urban Development and Environment Department (UDED) of Government of Madhya Pradesh will be the Executing Agency. Implementing Agency will be Madhya Pradesh Urban Development Company (MPUDC), A central Project Management Unit (PMU) attached to MPUDC will be responsible for implementing the MPUSIP. The PMU will be supported by Program Implementation Units (PIUs). Several teams of Design Consultants, and a Program Management Consultant (PMC) centrally located in PMU and with field teams, will support PMU & PIUs. Infrastructure will be designed, built, and operated (DBO) by contractor for 10 years, after which it will be transferred to the ULB. Project Officer (Environment) at PMU and Assistant Safeguard Officer (ASO) at each of the PIU will be responsible for environment safeguards tasks, and will be supported by Environment Specialist of PMC Team. Contractor personnel will include an Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) supervisor and an Archaeological Supervisor.

21. Monitoring and Reporting. The PMU and PMC will be responsible for monitoring. The

11

PMDC will submit quarterly and semi-annual monitoring reports to PMU, and the PMU will review and send the semi-annual monitoring reports to ADB. ADB will post the environmental monitoring reports on its website.

22. Potential Environment Impact: Potential negative impacts were identified in relation to construction and operation of the improved infrastructure. No impacts were identified as being due to the subproject design or location. An EMP is proposed as part of this IEE which includes (i) mitigation measures for significant environmental impacts during implementation, (ii) environmental monitoring program, and the responsible entities for mitigation, monitoring, and reporting; (iii) public consultation and information disclosure; and (iv) grievance redress mechanism. Mitigation measures have been developed to reduce all negative impacts to acceptable levels. A number of impacts and their significance have already been reduced by amending the designs.

23. During the construction phase, impacts mainly arise from the need to excavate large areas

which can result to increase in dust and noise levels, disturbance to residents and businesses along the delivery routes, and traffic. These are common impacts of construction in built-up areas, and there are well developed methods for their mitigation.

24. Mitigation will be assured by a program of environmental monitoring to be conducted during

construction and operation stages. The environmental monitoring program will ensure that all measures are implemented, and will determine whether the environment is protected as intended. It will include observations on- and off-site, document checks, and interviews with workers and beneficiaries. Any requirements for remedial action will be reported to the SIPMIU.

25. The main impacts of operating the improved water supply system will be beneficial to the

citizens of all towns because they will be provided with equitable distribution and supply of water.

26. Monitoring and Reporting the PMU and PMDC will be responsible for monitoring. The

PMDC will submit quarterly and semi-annual monitoring reports to PMU, and the PMU will review and send the semi-annual monitoring reports to ADB. ADB will post the environmental monitoring reports on its website.

27. Conclusions and Recommendations

The proposed project is therefore unlikely to cause significant adverse impacts. The potential impacts that are associated with design, construction and operation can be mitigated to standard levels without difficulty through proper engineering design and the incorporation or application of recommended mitigation measures and procedures. Based on the findings of the IEE, there are no significant impacts and the classification of the project as Category “B” is confirmed. No further special study or detailed environmental impact assessment (EIA) needs to be undertaken to comply with ADB SPS (2009) or GoI EIA Notification (2006). Project will require following government permission/approvals: (i) permission of WRD, GoMP for water abstraction for Sohagpur (ii) consent for construction of WTP in government land and establishment and consent for operation for WTP from Madhya Pradesh Pollution Control Board. These permissions/approvals shall be obtained

2.2 EXISTING WATER SUPPLY SITUATION

2.2.1 SOHAGPUR

10. In year 1971, Public Health Engineering Department had executed a Sohagpur Water Supply Scheme in Sohagpur based on the 2 Nos of Tube Wells. 17.5 Hp pumps were installed on the tube wells. Also OHT having capacity 250 KL was constructed in the Ward No 1. Presently water supply system in Sohagpur is based on ground water source (13 nos of Hand Pumps & 40 Tube wells). Four numbers of OHTs are available and out of that 3 OHTs were constructed in year 1993. Water supply distribution system of 18 Km of GI & ACP was laid down in the town. Presently only 60 LPCD water is being supplied to the town which is very as per the norms of CPHEEO Manual. Since the water supply distribution system is laid in parts and haphazard manner which causes water supply losses at the rate of 40%. Only about 72% population of town is covered by water supply arrangement and therefore needs water supply augmentation and improvement scheme to be executed on priority.

11. Present water supply arrangements are not adequate and ground water source level is depleting day by day, therefore water scarcity conditions are arising. Water supply losses during transmission are also very high approximately 40%, that leads to a high-energy consumption and loss of ULB.

2.2.2 BANKHEDI

13 Presently water supply system in Bankhedi is based on ground water i.e.120 hand pumps, 10 tube wells and 2 open wells. Nagar Parishad Bankhedi established in year 2015 by addition of 7 villages in Bankhedi town. At present the water is supplied to the town through 4 OHT’s at ward no 1, 3, and 6 to 13 respectively. Presently only 32 LPCD water is being supplied to the town which is very less as per the norms of CPHEEO Manual. Since the water supply, distribution system is laid in parts and haphazard manner, which causes water supply losses at the rate of 43 %.

2.3 PROPOSED PROJECT COMPONENT

2.3.1 SOHAGPUR

12. Per capita water supply .Present water supply arrangements are not adequate and ground water source level is depleting day by day, therefore water scarcity conditions are arising. Water supply losses during transmission are also very high approximately 40%, that leads to a high-energy consumption and loss of ULB. Therefore new water supply scheme is needs to be implemented for population for the of 37100 souls for a year 2048 (Ultimate Year of Design) considering 135 LPCD water supply and source as surface source to ensure adequate quantity, quality and desired pressure at doorstep of each household. As the sewerage is planned for this town, water demand has been taken as 135 LPCD. The base year of proposed WSS is taken 2018, in which population is like to achieve 27400. Water demand in 2018 will be 4.5 MLD. The details of component of proposed Sohagpur WSS is given in Table-1.

13. Water Source : For the water supply of Sohagpur town, water source studies done. There appears to be three optional sources:

1. Extracting Ground Water 2. Palakmati River 3. Narmada River

18

14. Presently water is being supplied through ground sources like 18 nos of tube wells, 40 nos of Hand Pumps. These entire sources are giving very less yield. Based on the available data the present tube wells may supply water to the town at the tune of maximum 1.52 MLD.

15. Water Demand . For the Sohagpur town, the demand of water supply for the year 2018, 2033 & 2048 are estimated to the tune of 4.50 MLD, 5.20 MLD & 6.00 MLD respectively. Thus maximum of 6.00 MLD intake form the source per annum i.e. 2190 ML (2.19 MCM) of drawl of water is to be ensured. Water analysis of Narmada River at the location of intake well was done as per drinking water standard. All the parameters were found within limit for using drinking purpose. The test report is attached in Annexure 3.

28. Proposed project components. The Sohagpur WSS include (i) Construction of intake well and raw

water pump House at Narmada river (ii) Water treatment plant of 5.50 MLD capacity; (iii) Construction of three new OHT of 900 KL, 600 KL and 250KL capacity ; using of existing 110 KL OHT and reconditioning of existing 300 KL OHT (iv) 15500 m of raw water rising mains of 300mm dia and 2600 m of clear water feeder mains (v) 57624 m of distribution lines proposed in Sohagpur.

2.3.2 BANKHEDI

18. Presently water supply system in Bankhedi is based on ground water i.e.120 hand pumps, 10 tube wells and 2 open wells. Nagar Parishad Bankhedi established in year 2015 by addition of 7 villages in Bankhedi town. At present the water is supplied to the town through 4 OHT’s at ward no 1, 3, and 6to 13 respectively. Presently only 32 LPCD water is being supplied to the town which is very less as per the norms of CPHEEO Manual. Since the water supply, distribution system is laid in parts and haphazard manner, which causes water supply losses at the rate of 43 %.The details of component of proposed Bankhedi WSS is given in Table-1

19. Selection of Water Source for Bankhedi Town: For the water supply of Bankhedi town, water source studies were done. There appears to be only three optional sources:

• Narmada River • Ool River & Anjana River • Extracting ground water

20. Water Source. Taking into consideration that there is no dependable surface water source in the

proximity of the town, it is proposed to continue the groundwater source for Bankhedi water supply. However given the low yield of existing tube wells and frequent dry up, a groundwater study has been commissioned as part of the project preparation and an experienced hydrogeologist engaged to conduct the study and identified 11 new locations for groundwater abstraction (for drilling tube wells) in Bankhedi town

. 21. Proposed Project Component. The Bankhedi WSS include (i) proposal of 11 number of tube well (ii)

4155m of transmission mains from tube wells to OHTs of dia 100mm and 150mm (iii) Proposal for utilization of existing 80 KL OHT and construction of five new OHT of capacity 100KL, 200KL, 200KL, 700KL and 150KL. (iv) 79503 m of distribution lines proposed in Bankhedi.

22. Project benefits. The subproject aims to achieve safe and sustainable water services both in terms of services to customers, cost recovery and conservation of precious water resources. The subproject will provide continuous, pressurized and safe drinking water services to entire population of the towns (100% coverage). Besides achieving progressively increasing cost recovery by expanding the coverage

19

and increasing operating efficiency, the subproject will improve the overall environmental quality of the town. It will reduce the reduced time and costs of households in accessing alternative sources of water, and will lead to better public health particularly reduction in waterborne and infectious diseases.

23. PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE

After the approval of the detailed project report, bid will be prepared and tenders are likely to be invited by June 2017, and the contract will be awarded by December 2017. Construction is likely to start in January 2018, and will take about 18 months .

2 Selected source Narmada River- This is the life line of Madhya Pradesh. This is situated northern side of the Sohagpur situated around 15km from the town.

Selected source

Extracting ground water: In Bankhedi, domestic water is proposed to supply by underground water source, as Narmada river is very far from the town as it is very costly to supply the water from Narmada. By water yield analysis it was found that underground water quantity in Bankhedi is enough to supply in town till 2048.

III. Proposed system 1 From source to

consumer supply Raw water abstraction from Narmada River→ raw water transmission (pumping) → treatment → clear water transmission → storage → distribution → house connections &meters

Average yield of all the tube well is found 18.07 KL/hr. Water demand for design period (2048) in Bankhedi is 3.3MLD. So, water will be drawn in 2048 at the rate of 137.5KL/hr. In Bankhedi, total 21 (10 old and 11 new) tube

21

wells are proposed to drawn the water from underground source. Thus average rate of water drawn from single tube well will be 6.54KL/hr. Average yield of single tube well was found 18.07, which is much higher than the rate of water drawn. The pump installed in tube well is 7.5 HP in 3 tube well, 10HP in 2 tube well, 5HP in 3 tube well, 6 HP in 2 tube well and 12.5 HP in 1 tube well.

3. POLICY, LEGAL &ADMINISTRATIVE FRAMEWORK

3.1. ADB POLICY

16. ADB requires the consideration of environmental issues in all aspects of ADB’s

Operations, and the requirements for environmental assessment are described in ADB SPS, 2009. This states that ADB requires environmental assessment of all ADB investments.

17. Screening and categorization. The nature of the environmental assessment required for

a project depends on the significance of its environmental impacts, which are related to the type and location of the project; the sensitivity, scale, nature, and magnitude of its potential impacts; and the availability of cost-effective mitigation measures. Projects are screened for their expected environmental impacts, and are assigned to one of the following four categories: (i) Category A. Projects could have significant adverse environmental impacts. An EIA is required to address significant impacts. (ii) Category B. Projects could have some adverse environmental impacts, but of lesser degree or significance than those in category A. An IEE is required to determine whether significant environmental impacts warranting an EIA are likely. If an EIA is not needed, the IEE is regarded as the final environmental Assessment report. (iii) Category C. Projects are unlikely to have adverse environmental impacts. No EIA or IEE is required, although environmental implications are reviewed. (iv) Category FI. Projects involve a credit line through a financial intermediary or an equity investment in a financial intermediary. The financial intermediary must apply an environmental management system, unless all projects will result in insignificant impacts.

18. Environmental management plan. An EMP, which addresses the potential impacts and

risks identified by the environmental assessment, shall be prepared. The level of detail and complexity of the EMP and the priority of the identified measures and actions will be commensurate with the project’s impact and risks.

3.2 NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS

19. The GoI EIA Notification of 2006 (replacing the EIA Notification of 1994), sets out the requirement for Environmental Assessment in India. This states that Environmental Clearance (EC) is required for specified activities/projects, and this must be obtained before any construction work or land preparation (except land acquisition) may commence. Projects are categorized as A or B depending on the scale of the project and the nature of its impacts.

20. Category A projects requires EC from the central Ministry of Environment and Forests

30

(MoEF). The proponent is required to provide preliminary details of the project in the prescribed manner with all requisite details, after which an Expert Appraisal Committee (EAC) of the MoEF prepares comprehensive Terms of Reference (ToR) for the EIA study. On completion of the study and review of the report by the EAC, MoEF considers the recommendation of the EAC and provides the EC if appropriate.

21. Category B projects require environmental clearance from the State Environment

Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA). The State level EAC categorizes the project as either B1 (requiring EIA study) or B2 (no EIA study), and prepares ToR for B1 projects within 60 days. On completion of the study and review of the report by the EAC, the SEIAA issues the EC based on the EAC recommendation. The Notification also provides that any project or activity classified as category B will be treated as category A if it is located in whole or in part within 10 km from the boundary of protected areas, notified areas or inter-state or international boundaries.

22. None of the component of this water supply sub project under the ambit of the EIA

Notification 2006, and therefore, EC is not required for the subproject.

23. Besides EIA Notification 2006, there are various other Acts, Rules, Policies and Regulations currently in force in India that deal with environmental issues that could apply to infrastructure Development. The specific regulatory compliance requirements of the subproject are shown in following table.

Table 2 : Applicable Environmental Regulations

Law Description Requirement Madhya Pradesh State Water Policy,2003

Prepared in accordance with the National Water Policy, it states that “for environmental balance, skillful and planned management of all types of developmental activities, economic use one quitable basis and in view of the prime importance of water for all human and other living beings, an effective and sound water policy is necessary”. Policy is detailed in 17 sections dealing with different aspects of water resources.No.7 deals with Water Allocation Priorities, and according to which drinking water supply shall have The highest priority followed by irrigation, power, tourism, etc. Water Resource Department is nodal department for permitting different uses of water resources. Policy also states that “clear provision for reservation of drinking water shall be made in irrigation

WRD, GoMP granted the permission of water abstraction from Narmada river for Sohagpur Town

4.1 Methodology Used for Baseline Study

25. Data collection and stakeholder consultations. Data for this study has been primarily collected through literature survey, discussion with stakeholder agencies, and field visits to the proposed subproject sites.

26. The literature survey broadly covered the following:

(i) Project details, reports, maps, and other documents prepared by technical

experts of design consultant team (ii) Discussions with technical experts, municipal authorities, and relevant

government agencies like WRD, Forest Department, MPPCB, etc. (iii) Secondary data from previous project reports & published articles, if any, and (iv) Literature on land use, soil, geology, hydrology, climate, socioeconomic, and

planning documents collected from Government agencies and websites.

27. Ocular inspection. Several visits to the project sites were made during IEE preparation period in 2016 to assess the existing environment (physical, biological, and socioeconomic) and gather information with regard to the proposed sites and scale of the proposed project. A separate socioeconomic study was conducted to determine the demographic information, existing service levels, stakeholder needs and priorities.

3 Area and

Population The area of the town is spread over in 12.48 Sq Kms. Density of the town varies from 24 pph to 77 pph in Sohagpur town and in urbanized area respectively. There are 15 Number of wards in the Town: State highway SH22 passes through the town. The major growth of the town takes place along the highway. Population of the town as per 2011 census is 25044.

Bankhedi is a small town located in Bankhedi Tehsil of Hoshangabad district with scarce population of 22067 with area of around 15 Sq Km. The town administratively functions as Nagar Parishad from Feb 2015. The town area is divided in 15 municipal wards..

4 Topography The geographical Location of Town “Sohagpur” is given as below. Latitude - 22°41’58’’N Longitude - 78°11’53’’E Town is situated at Elevation of 331 m from Mean Sea Level. Sohagpur is lying between 2 water bodies, Palakamti River and another is tributary of Palakmati. Thegeneral topography of Sohagpur is quite undulating. Satpura reserve forest lies at the distance of 10 km from Sohagpur town.

Town of Bankhedi is situated on firm ground. Topographical features of the town explain the variations from RL 344.5 m to RL 366 m. The elevation differences from highest of 366 m to 344.5 m accounted a maximum difference of 21.5 m in the town. The geographical Location of Town “Bankhedi” is given as below. Latitude- 22° 46' 16'' N Longitude- 78° 31' 49'' E Town is situated at an Elevation of 350 m from Mean Sea Level.

5 Rainfall Average rainfall is 1340 cm in the Hoshangabad district. Monsoon season start form 15th June and ends on 15th October. Maximum rainfall occurs during the month of July and August.

5 Soil and Geology

Majorly three types of soil formations are observed in the area, Black cotton, Red loamy soil

6 Climate Hoshangabad district comprising Sohagpur and Bankhedi town has a moderate type of climate with an average height from the mean sea level of 331 m. The average maximum and minimum temperature ranges between 32ºC and 19ºC. Overall, the climate of the towns is neither extremely hot nor extremely cold and remains pleasant throughout the year. Plenty of greenery and water bodies around town makes micro climate of town favorable.

7 Surface Water

River Palakmati cross through the town and divide it into two parts which are connected via an over bridge. Sohagpur developed along the banks of river Palakmati, eastern part of Palakmati River is the oldest and most dense area of Sohagpur. Palakmati River is the surface water source available which is seasonal stream, and currently its water is also not being used for drinking purpose. The environment of the river has degraded over the years due to dumping of waste along the river banks is continuously polluting the river water. Another major issue is discharge of untreated waste water directly into the river. Mentioned environmental issues need to be addresses at the earliest to save the dying river.

River Ool and Anjana are passing on either side of Bankhedi town. Both the Rivers are the surface water source available which is seasonal stream, and currently its water is also not available in the rivers. The Rivers dried down immediately after rainy season and also in most of the daysof rainy season the water is not available in the rivers. Also River basis in not so deep so that we can construct a barrage or river poundage to store water to cater water demand of Bankhedi town.

8 Ground water

Quality of ground water is fresh to saline with EC ranging from 440 to 2710 mmhos/cm at 25° C, nitrate from 1.3 to 122 mg/l and fluoride from 0.11 to 1 mg/l. The ground water level of Sohagpur is depleted from 2.5m to 7.0m from 2005 to 2014.

Quality of ground water is fresh to saline with EC ranging from 440 to 2710 mm hos/cm at 25° C, nitrate from 1.3 to 122 mg/l and fluoride from 0.11 to 1 mg/l. Ground water table of Bankhedi from 2008 to 2013 is constant at 12m. The underground water level of Bankhedi is remains constant from 2008 to 2013 at level of 12m.

As per CGWB report, Sohagpur and Bankhedi comes under Gondwana occupying the southern part of the district, the aquifers are formed by fractured/weathered occurring below alluvium from confined/semi confined aquifer which are not very productive. In the exploratory tubewells, drilled by central ground water board during Narmada Project, water bearing zones in the Gondwana were encountered at Pathrai (Nibhora), Taron, Mahuakhera, Sohagpur Manegaon, Pathrota, Guraria and Kalkuhi. The Pachmarhi sandstone especially in Pachmarhi, though hard and massive, form potential zones wherever fractured and jointed. The transmissivity of Gondwana aquifer in general varies from 249 to 449 m 2 /day

9 Air Quality The ambient air quality monitored in the study area was found to be sound within the limits of NAAQ standards prescribed for residential, rural and other areas.

10 Ecology Project area mostly comprises urban areas, agricultural areas of Sohagpur and Bankhedi which are converted to human use many years back. There is no forest area with the municipality limit. Satpura forest reservoir is about 8 km away from the Sohagpur and Bankhedi both. And Buffer Zone of Satpura Forest Reservoir is Also about 7.5 km away from both the town. Many of the animal belongs to satpura forest reservoir like monkey, cow, peacock, pigs but not a single animal is get affected by our project because our proposed structure are Far away enough

11 Economic Development

Sohagpur is a developing town primarily dependent on agriculture and allied activities. Other driving factors for town’s economy are commercial and trading activities of woods and agro commodities. Town is also famous for its clay based pottery and making of idol statues. In the recent times the town has developed into an educational, commercial and trading hub in the region. Its commercial sector is serving to population of town and nearby settlements. As per 2001 census only 26.67% (5,958) of population is working, out of which 86.10% and 13.90% are male and female respectively. Main workers population was21.39% of total population, 5.28% were marginal workers and 73.33% was non-working population. In 2001 census, the economic profile of workers was

According to census reports, around 46.90% of the total population (8,510) entered the workforce in2001. Workforce participation generally falls under three-fold classifications namely the primary sector (involved in agriculture-related activities), the secondary sector (involved in industry-related work) and the tertiary sector (involved in household industry and services type of employment). Approximately 65.45% of the total population is fall under main worker or those who are employed for 180 days. The percent of the main worker are more as compare to marginal worker under working population. On the other hand the percentage share of marginal worker is only 34.55%.

36

defined in 4 sectors which clearly indicate that major portion of the main workers i.e. 77.72% are engaged in various activities such as service, commercial activities etc. followed by household industries, cultivators and agriculture labors with 12.26%, 7.42% and 2.6% share respectively. This concludes that the town is rapidly growing towards commercial, service and construction sector and dependency on agricultural activities is reducing.

12 Land Use Sohagpur town cover 10.48 sqkm. Out of which 61% covers agricultural land, 9% residential, 5% transportation, 1% commercial and recreational each, 2% utilities and 11% vacant land

Most of the land in Bankhedi is used for agricultural purpose after residential.

13 Agriculture and industry

As per the assessment of workforce participation rate in Sohagpur 10.02% of total main worker population is indulge in agriculture sector. Sohagpur is famous for the cultivation of Tendupatta grown along the banks of Palakamti River in south of the town; apart wheat and soybean are the other major crops grown in the region.

Industrial sector in Sohagpur is in nascent stage as there are not many industries, as per the survey there are few small scale house hold agro-based industries. The industries are based in the local crops such as tendupatta for bidi making and pulse processing. These industries contribute very less amount to the economy of town. The only dal mill running in the region has closed down recently due to unavailability of the resources (water, power, human resources etc). These agro based industries offers employment on seasonal basis only and rest of the season workers stay unemployed

An industry is a broad term which refers to manufacturing of raw materials into goods and products. The town has no major industrial construction activities except for brick and steel furniture manufacturing factories located in the town.

Agriculture production includes wheat, chana, soyabean, sugar cane etc.

14 Transport Sohagpur has bus stand in ward 1 located on SH 22 and total length of all roads and streets is about38500m with road density of

The core area of the city is predominately consisting of narrow roads and lanes with irregular

3.7 (km of road/sqkm of area). Railway station is lying in south of town. Total area under transportation is about 0.48 sqkm which is about 5% of total municipal area. The total road length in Sohagpur is 21.5 km. Out of which, WBM is 0.36km, Kachha 10.84km and concrete is 10.30km.

vehicles parked haphazardly. This leads to traffic congestions on regular basis.

15 Sewerage/Sanitation/ Drainage

Sohagpur town does not have proper sewerage system to collect and treat the sewage generation in the town. There is no separate system for storm water and waste water collection in the town. Soak pit based toilet system is being used by the people of the town. Municipal council is also constructing soak pit based toilet system. Community septic tank system is also not introduced in town. Nagar Parishad has 1 vacuum emptier which is used to maintain all soak pits at nominal charge. Waste collected from soak pits is directly discharged in dumping site far off the town

There is no organized sewerage system in the Bankhedi town. There exists approximately 2000 individual toilets in Nagar Parishad area with septic tanks or soak pits arrangement.

16 Solid Waste Management

Considering the per capita generation of 250 grams per day, the current generation is approximately6.26 tonnes per day (TPD). Solid waste is collected from various locations twice a day with 3 tractors and 3 trolleys. There are about 78 pushcarts and 15 tricycles which collect solid waste from internal streets and transported to nearest dustbin. Nagar Parishad has also established 25 dustbins in the town. Primary waste collection (Door to Door) is happening in 13 wards of Sohagpur town which shows the collection efficiency of the managing authority. Some of the problematic areas have located in town i.e. residents along Palakmati River are disposing waste along the river hence deteriorating the river environment and contamination of water. Daily waste collection should be promoted in the area along Palakmati River and door to door waste collection should be promoted in all the wards

Although SWM systems exist in Bankhedi town since few years back, SWM has remained a major environmental issue until now. Looking into the normal institutional setup, SWM responsibility is devolved to a health officer who is assisted by the engineering department in the transportation work. The activity is undeniably labor intensive and in most instances daunting as there are only 2-3 workers assigned per 1000 residents whose needs are ever growing and changing.

17 Demography The population trend of Sohagpur town is

given below: 1991: 9,463 2001: 18614 2011: 25,044

The population trend of Bankhedi town is given below: 2001: 17,450 2011: 22,067

18 Literacy Ratio

In Sohagpur the literacy rate has been improved marginally to 75.2% as per the 2011 census which was 71.34% in 2001. Both male and female literacy rate has improved to 81.26% and 68.75% in comparison to 78.71% male literacy and 63.28% female literacy as per 2001 census. The possible reason behind such marginal improvement is migration of educated people to big cities. The town has good number of government and private schools, but efforts need to be made to raise literacy rate of town.

Literacy rate in Bankhedi is 65.21%

19 Sex Ratio Gender ratio in Sohagpur has been improved from 913 in 2001 to 932 in 2011 which is just above the state gender ratio of 930. At present total population of Sohagpur is constituted of 51.75% of male and48.25% of females.

Gender ratio in Bankhedi has been found 913 as per 2011 census which is just above the state gender ratio of 930..

20 History and culture

The town has number of temples around its precinct, ornate with very beautiful and unique idol figures. Shiv Shakti temple, Narsingh Temple, and Shankar temple are one of these temples which have historical significance. Nanak Tekri and Jamni Sarovar are other important heritage places in town. Fairs are also organized in Sohagpur e.g. Mahashivratri Mela which is celebrated with great pomp and show every year.

There is no important heritage in Bankhedi

--------------------------------------------------------

Bankhedi Nagar Parishad was established in 2015. CDP and other relevant data about Bankhedi is not available in Nagar Parishad. So, some data is collected by the field survey.

5. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

5.1OVERVIEW

29. Potential environmental impacts of the proposed infrastructure components are presented in this section. Mitigation measures to minimize/mitigate negative impacts, if any, are recommended along with the agency responsible for implementation. Monitoring actions to be conducted during the implementation phase is also recommended to reduce the impact.

30. Screening of potential environmental impacts are categorized into four categories considering subproject phases: location impacts and design impacts (pre-construction phase), construction phase impacts and operations and maintenance phase impacts.

a. Location impacts include impacts associated with site selection and include loss of on-site biophysical array and encroachment either directly or indirectly on adjacent environments. It also includes impacts on people who will lose their livelihood or any other structures by the development of that site.

b. Design impacts include impacts arising from Investment Program design, including technology used, scale of operation/throughput, waste production, discharge specifications, pollution sources and ancillary services.

c. Construction impacts include impacts caused by site clearing, earthworks, machinery, vehicles and workers. Construction site impacts include erosion, dust, noise, traffic congestion and waste production.

d. O&M impacts include impacts arising from the operation and maintenance activities of the infrastructure facility. These include routine management of operational waste streams, and occupational health and safety issues.

31. Screening of environmental impacts has been based on the impact magnitude (negligible/moderate/severe – in the order of increasing degree) and impact duration (temporary/permanent).

32. This section of the IEE reviews possible project-related impacts, in order to identify issues requiring further attention and screen out issues of no relevance. ADB SPS (2009) require that impacts and risks will be analyzed during pre-construction, construction, and operational stages in the context of the project’s area of influence.

33. The ADB Rapid Environmental Assessment Checklist in http://www.adb.org/documents/guidelines/environmental_assessment/eaguidelin

46

http://www.adb.org/documents/guidelines/environmental_assessment/eaguidelines002.asph

es002.asph as been used to screen the project for environmental impacts and to determine the scope of the IEE.

34. In the case of this project (i) most of the individual elements are relatively small and involve straightforward construction and operation, so impacts will be mainly localized and not greatly significant; and (ii) most of the predicted impacts are associated with the construction process, and are produced because that process is invasive, involving excavation and earth movements; and some works are located in the reservoir. The project will be in properties held by the local government and access to the project location is through public rights-of-way and existing roads hence, land acquisition and encroachment on private property will not occur. Nevertheless, the project do have some impacts related to project design, as it choses groundwater as the source of water supply. Appropriate measures are suggest to avoid any impacts on groundwater regime.

5.2 PRE-CONSTRUCTION IMPACTS–DESIGN &LOCATION 35. Technical design of the (A) Sohagpur WSS (i) Intake cum jack well at Narmada

river (ii) WTP of 5.5 MLD capacity (iii) 3 no. of OHT of capacity 900 KL, 600KL and 250KL (B) Bankhedi WSS (i) 11 no. of new tube well (ii) five number of new over head tank of capacity 100KL, 200KL, 700KL, 200KL, and 150KL; distribution network, connections and other items like flow meters, follows the relevant national planning and design guidelines, focusing on providing a robust system which is easy to operate, sustainable, efficient and economically viable. Following environmental considerations are included in the project:

(i)Discontinuation of current unsustainable groundwater source and creating a new comprehensive water supply system based on a nearest surface water source (ii) Recovering wash water from treatment process (iii) Treatment and reuse of sludge from treatment process (iv) Minimizing water losses from pipelines by perfect jointing and alignments using appropriate techniques (HDPE pipesupto150 mm dia joined by electro fusion couplers using on-site electro fusion welding, and all higher dia pipes by on site butt welding) (v) Minimizing overall resource use by combining bulk water facilities for towns. (vi) Designing the entire system to maintain optimal flow and terminal pressure, and optimizing the overall energy usage (vii) Reducing the incidence of waterborne diseases by providing100% Population including urban poor with potable water supplies (viii) Improve water use efficiency and reduce water wastage at household level by recording and monitoring the water usage, and charging the consumers as perusage; due consideration to urban poor (ix) Minimize unaccounted for water (UFW) losses using district metered area approach with flow meter and pressure logging arrangements to identify and rectify the leaks, and unauthorized connections (x)Using low-noise and energy efficient pumping systems

36. Selection of water source 37. Source of water for Sohagpur Town: For the water supply of Sohagpur town,

water source studies done. There appears to be three optional sources:

• Extracting Ground Water • Palakmati River • Narmada River

38. Presently water is being supplied through ground sources like 18 nos of tube

wells, 40 nos of Hand Pumps. These entire sources are giving very less yield. Based on the available data the present tube wells may supply water to the town at the tune of maximum 1.52 MLD.

39. River Palakmati cross through the town and divide it into two parts which are

connected via an over bridge. Sohagpur developed along the banks of river Palakmati, eastern part of Palakmati River is the oldest and most dense area of Sohagpur. Palakmati River is the surface water source available which is seasonal stream, and currently its water is also not being used for drinking purpose. Palakmati River dried down immediately after rainy season. River is very shallow to construct a barrage or river poundage to store water to cater water demand of Sohagpur town. Hence Palakmati River is not selected as a water source for Sohagpur Water Supply Scheme.

40. The Narmada River is located 15 Km from the town. Narmada basin extends over

states of Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh having an area of 98,796 Sq.km which is nearly 3% of the total geographical area of the country with maximum length and width of 923 & 161 km. It lies between 72°38’ to 81°43’ east longitudes and 21°27’ to 23°37’ north latitudes. It is bounded by the Vindhyas on the north, by the Maikala range on the east, by the Satpuras on the south and by the Arabian Sea on the west. The hilly regions are in the upper part of the basin, and lower middle reaches are broad and fertile areas well suited for cultivation. Narmada is the largest west flowing river of the peninsular India. It rises from Maikala range near Amarkantak in Anuppur district of Madhya Pradesh, at an elevation of about 1057 m. The total length of the river is 1,312 km and for the first 1079 km it flows in Madhya Pradesh and thereafter forms the common boundary between Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra for 35 km, and Maharashtra and Gujarat for 39 km. In Gujarat State it stretches for 159 km. It’s important tributaries are the Burhner, the Banjar, the Sher, the Shakkar, the Dudhi, the Tawa , the Ganjal, the Kundi, the Goi and the Karjan which joins from left whereas the Hiran, the Tendoni, the Barna, the Kolar, the Man, the Uri, the Hatni and the Orsang joins from right. Narmada drains into the Arabian Sea through the Gulf of Khambhat. The major part of basin is covered with agriculture accounting to 56.90%. Water bodies cover 2.95% of the total basin area. The basin spreads over 20 parliamentary constituencies (2009) comprising 15 of Madhya Pradesh, 3 of Gujarat, and 1 each of Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra.

41. For the Sohagpur town, the demand of water supply for the year 2018, 2033 & 2048 are estimated to the tune of 4.50 MLD, 5.20 MLD & 6.00 MLD respectively. Thus maximum of 6.00 MLD intake form the source per annum i.e. 2190 ML (2.19 MCM) of drawl of water is to be ensured. Water analysis of Narmada River at the location of intake well was done as per drinking water standard. Total 20 parameters were analyzed after sampling of Narmada River at the intake well location. All the parameters were found within desirable limit as per drinking water standard IS-10500 for using drinking purpose. The test report is also attached in Annexure 3. In Narmada river water quantity is found sufficient to supply in Sohagpur. Water analysis of Narmada River as per drinking water standard showed that water is safe for drinking purpose.

42. Source Sustainability: For the Sohagpur town, the demand of water supply for the year 2018, 2033 & 2048 are estimated to the tune of 4.50 MLD, 5.20 MLD & 6.00 MLD respectively. Thus maximum of 6.00 MLD intake form the source per annum i.e. 2190 ML (2.19 MCM) of drawl of water is to be ensured. Average Water Resource Potential of Narmada River is 45639 MCM, while Utilizable Surface Water Resource is 34500 MCM. No flow data is available for the Narmada River at the point of water abstraction as well as nearby downstream and upstream side of Sohagpur as there is no gauge by WRD. Considering the low water requirement of town (6.0MLD) and perennial nature of river, it is assessed to be unlikely to have any issue of source sustainability.

43. Quality Assurance of Narmada River :- Since water quality test for deciding source to be taken as water source, it is proved to be good source based on the water sample test reports obtained from recognized PHED Laboratory, Bhopal (report enclosed). The basic parameters of quality of raw water are proved to be good. Some parameters are listed below

Parameters Results obtained in Testing of raw

water sample

Turbidity (NTU) 1.0

Phenolphthalein Alkalinity(mg/l) Nil

Total Alkalinity as CaCO3 136

Chloride as Cl (Mg/l) 10

Nitrate as NO3 (Mg/l) 0.25

Fluoride as F (Mg/l)

0.12 (Limit for Portable water is 1.0mg/l to 1.5mg/l)

Total Dissolved Solids (Mg/l) 136

Total Hardness as CaCO3 (mg/l) 114

49

44. Considering the above parameters of the water sample collected, it is considered to be very good water source for the Town. As IS-10500 gives details of standards for drinking water, the source selected is good as result came are very much close to portable water. The water quality at the abstraction point was carried out as per drinking water standard and it is found that all the parameter was under permissible limit

45. BANKHEDI: Presently water supply system in Bankhedi is based on ground

water i.e.120 hand pumps, 10 tube wells and 2 open wells. Nagar Parishad Bankhedi established in year 2015 by addition of 7 villages in Bankhedi town. At present the water is supplied to the town through 4 OHT’s at ward no 1, 3, and 6to 13 respectively. Presently only 32 LPCD water is being supplied to the town which is very less as per the norms of CPHEEO Manual. Since the water supply, distribution system is laid in parts and haphazard manner, which causes water supply losses at the rate of 43 %.. The details of component of proposed Bankhedi WSS is given in Table-1

46. Selection of Water Source for Bankhedi Town: For the water supply of Bankhedi town, water source studies were done. There appears to be only three optional sources:

• Narmada River • Ool River & Anjana River • Extracting ground water 47. Other than these three options, there is not water body nearby the Bankhedi town

to consider as a water source for proposed Water Supply Scheme of town.

48. Narmada River is located around 28 Km away from Bankhedi town and at lower elevation (GL = 249 m) than the Bankhedi town. It will be a costly affair if Narmada River will be selected as a source. Also the cost of Operation & Maintenance will be higher due the long length of RWRM. Narmada River won’t be an economical source for Bankhedi WSS. Also it may be difficult for Bankhedi Nagar Parishad to operate and maintain the scheme from Narmada River.

49. River Ool and Anjana are passing on either side of Bankhedi town. Both the Rivers are the surface water source available which is seasonal stream, and currently its water is also not available in the rivers. The Rivers dried down immediately after rainy season and also in most of the days of rainy season the water is not available in the rivers. River basis in so shallow to construct the barrage or river poundage to store water to cater water demand of Bankhedi town. Hence Ool & Anjana Rivers as a water source is not selected for Bankhedi Water Supply Scheme..

50. Hence, it is recommended to continue the groundwater source for Bankhedi water supply and an experienced hydrogeologist was engaged to conduct the study with an objective to identify 11 new locations for

50

groundwater abstraction in Bankhedi town. A summary of the ground water study is given in the following paragraphs

51. Finding and Recommendation of the study .Hoshangabad district is characterized by alluvial formations, Gondwana, Achaean and Deccan trap basaltic lava flow. Dynamic ground water resources of the district have been estimated for base year -2008/09 on block-wise basis. Out of 670,400 ha of geographical area, 558,352 ha (84 %) is ground water recharge worthy area and 1,12,048 ha (16 %) is hilly area. There are six number of assessment units (block) in the district which fall under command (43 %) and non-command (57 % - Bankhedi, Pipariya and Kesla) sub units. All blocks of the district are categorized as safe blocks, Bankhedi block is with highest stage of ground water development of 61 %. The net ground water availability in the district 2,01,888 ham and ground water draft for all uses is 35,617 ham, making stage of ground water development 18 % (14 % in 2003/04) as a whole for district. After making allocation for future domestic and industrial supply for next 25 years, balance available ground water for future irrigation would be 1, 64,889 ham at 50 % stage of ground water development’s safe limits in the district. Quality of ground water is fresh to saline with EC ranging from 440 to 2710 mm hos/cm at 25° C, nitrate from 1.3 to 122 mg/l and fluoride from 0.11 to 1 mg/l.

51

52. Ground Water Sustainibility For ensuring the source sustainability of underground water source, water yield test of existing tube wells was carried out. The yield test was done on 03/06/2016 of 10 number of tube wells on different location of Bankhedi. Pump of capacity 7.5HP for single tube well, 12.0HP for single tube well, 12.5HP for 1 tube well, 10 HP pump for 6 tube well respectively. Yield of 9 number of tube well was found 19.04KL/hr, 19.58KL/hr, 20.16KL/hr, 18.04KL/hr, 12.24KL/hr, 23.22KL/hr, 18.25KL/hr, 18.65KL/hr and 13.43/hr respectively. Average yield of all the tube well is found 18.07 KL/hr. Water demand for design period (2048) in Bankhedi is 3.3MLD. So, water will be drawn in 2048 at the rate of 137.5KL/hr. In Bankhedi, total 21 (10 old and 11 new) tube wells are proposed to drawn the water from underground source. Thus average rate of water drawn from single tube well will be 6.54KL/hr. Average yield of single tube well was found 18.07, which is much higher than the rate of water drawn. Thus, it is found that the underground water source is well sustainable to supply the water in Bankhedi for design period. Water analysis of different existing tube wells in Bankhedi was carried out as drinking water standard. All the drinking water parameters were found under permissible limit as described in IS-10500. So, the underground water source was found sustainable fir supplying water in Bankhedi in terms of quantity as well quantity

53. The water quality at the abstraction point was carried out as per demand. Thus

ground water is selected for supplying water in Bankhedi drinking water standard and it is found that all the parameter was under permissible limit.

54. As water supply in Bankhedi is proposed by underground water. So, water sample from 10 existing tube well was taken to check underground water quality. The water is analyzed as per drinking water standard. All the parameter of all samples was found within the permissible limit. So, it was found to safe for supplying underground water for drinking purpose.

55. Ground Water Quality is within permissible limits for sohagpur and Bankhedi towns. Water analysis of different existing tube wells in Bankhedi was carried out as drinking water standard. All the drinking water parameters were found under permissible limit as described in IS-10500. So, the underground water source was found sustainable fir supplying water in Bankhedi in terms of quantity as well quantity. The water quality at the abstraction point was carried out as per drinking water standard and it is found that all the parameter was under permissible limit for sohagpur town also.

56. Groundwater Sustainability. Overexploitation of groundwater resources i.e. abstracting more than the net annual ground water available in the area will lead to several environmental and economic issues. Abstracting water from static water resources may lead to contamination due to geo-hydro chemical processes, and may also lead to land subsidence. Tube wells will dry up quickly, with falling water table pumping costs will go up, and the effect on competing uses can cause social conflicts.

53

57. Given that there is no reliable surface water source in the proximity of the town, even though groundwater development in the project area is already in critical stage as per the groundwater development, it is proposed to continue the groundwater as source of water supply. The present groundwater development is at 89%, and the groundwater is the only source of water in the region for agricultural and domestic purposes. CGWB cautions use of groundwater resource over 90% of net available resources, and recommends linking water abstraction in these areas to water conservation measures like augmenting groundwater recharge through artificial measures.

58. The location of tube wells are identified through a scientific groundwater study, and therefore it is most likely that the yield will be as estimated by the study. The groundwater yield will however depend solely on the annual rainfall. Given the climate change effects, the rainfall is becoming more erratic and unpredictable, combined with increasing frequency of extreme weather events. The project should therefore account for these.

59. The groundwater study recommends a further detailed study to look into groundwater sustainability and to suggest various measures as detailed above in the para 56. Implementation of these measures is crucial for sustainability of this water supply project and therefore should be integrated into the project implementation.

60. Besides the above, the following measures are suggested for consideration during the detailed study and implementation appropriately:

• All the proposed tube wells are located in along a seasonal stream. The groundwater recharge occurs mainly from the flowing stream, and partly from agricultural field. The recharge will increase the water is retained in the stream for more time. Construction of a series small check dams in the stream (say at every 500 m or as appropriate) will ensure water retention thereby augmenting the groundwater recharge. Check dams can be constructed with locally available material (say stone masonry or soil), and the height of which shall be limited, so that water inundation is confined to the stream section itself. No water abstraction directly from the storage shall be allowed.

54

• Creation of recharge shafts in the stream body. This will involve creation of bore hole of appropriate depth and of larger size and filled with filler material (like gravel, aggregate). This will augment the recharge.

• Creation of artificial recharge pits in public places / public buildings. Local body can issue a notification to this effect.

• Household level artificial recharge (like roof top rainwater harvesting) should be encouraged.

• Groundwater regulation – all the tube wells in houses in Bankhedi to be discontinued in a phased manner once the project is implemented.

61. Groundwater quality. The existing groundwater shows the presence of (i) nitrates at a concentration nearing the prescribed limit (30-44 mgh/l while the prescribed limit is at 45 mg/l), and (ii) bacteriological contamination. Nitrate pollution can be attributed to sewage disposal including human excreta, animal wastes and runoff from agricultural areas. Bacteriological contamination can be directly linked to indiscriminate sewage disposal and the leaching of leachates from latrine pits, open defecation etc. Detailed study proposed in the above paragraph also includes a source protection plan. Measures as suggested by the study should be included in the project. Besides, the groundwater study also recommends the following measures for construction of tube wells, which needs to be included in the project design:

• The annular space between the casing pipe and the wall of the bore well must be sealed with cement slurry in order to prevent groundwater contamination

• A 1m x 1m x 1m concrete block is to be constructed around the exposed casing pipe above the surface. The block will be 50 cm above the ground and 50 cm below the ground to holdfast the casing pipe.

• The top of the casing pipe should be at least 90 cm above the ground or above the reported HFL of the site, whichever is higher.

• Suitable measures to be taken to prevent contamination of source since the water quality may be impacted by untreated sewage flowing nearby; suitable provisions should be made for lining of drains and prevention and chocking / overflow / lateral and vertical seepage.

• In addition to the above, measures should be taken to control the open defecation, and to close all unsafe latrines (for example pit latrines).

• Awareness programs shall be conducted regarding the sanitation practices and its effect on groundwater quality

62. Use of Chlorine as disinfectant. It is proposed to use chlorine at WTP to disinfect the water prior to supply to consumers. There is invariably a safety risk when chlorine is handled. Although facilities are not located close to habitations, safety precautions are necessary to ensure the safety of workers and citizens. To avoid any risk, the chlorination facility will be provided with the following:

• Chlorine neutralization pit with a lime slurry feeder • Proper ventilation, lighting, entry and exit facilities • Facility for isolation in the event of major chlorine leakage

53

• Personal protection and safety equipment for the operators in the chlorine plant • Provide training to the staff in safe handling and application of chlorine; this shall

be included in the contract of Chlorinator supplier • Supplier of Chlorinator equipment shall provide standard operating manual for safe

operation and as well as maintenance and repairs; preferably these shall be provided both in English and Hindi Languages

63. Utilities Telephone lines, electric poles and wires, water lines within the proposed project locations may require to be shifted in few cases. To mitigate the adverse impacts due to relocation of the utilities, the contractor, in collaboration with ULBs will (i) identify the locations and operators of these utilities to prevent unnecessary disruption of services during construction phase; and (ii) instruct construction contractors to prepare a contingency plan to include actions to be done in case of unintentional interruption of services.

64. Site selection of construction work camps, stockpile areas, storage areas,

and disposal areas: Priority is to locate these near the project location. However, if it is deemed necessary to locate elsewhere, sites to be considered will not promote instability and result in destruction of property, vegetation, irrigation, and drinking water supply systems. Residential areas will not be considered for setting up construction camps to protect the human environment (i.e., to curb accident risks, health risks due to air and water pollution and dust, and noise, and to prevent social conflicts, shortages of amenities, and crime). Extreme care will be taken to avoid disposals near forest areas, water bodies, or in areas which will inconvenience the community.

65. Site selection of sources of materials. Significant quantities of coarse aggregate

and fine aggregate will be required for construction works. Requirement of gravel is limited. Contractor should procure these materials only from the quarries permitted/licensed by Mines and Geology Department. Contractor should, to the maximum extent possible, procure material from existing quarries, and creation of new quarry areas should be avoid as far as possible. It will be the construction contractor’s responsibility to verify the suitability of all material sources and to obtain the approval of Department of Mines & Geology and local revenue administration.

5.3 CONSTRUCTION IMPACT

66. The construction work is expected not to cause major negative impacts, mainly because:

(i) most of the activities will be on the built-up areas of towns and/or existing RoWs thus could be constructed without causing impacts to biodiversity;

(ii) most of the sites are located on government-owned land which is not occupied or used for any other purpose;

(iii) overall construction program will be relatively short and is expected to be completed in 24 months with activities to conducted by small teams and specified location so most impacts will be localized and short in duration; and

(iv) Most of the predicted impacts associated with the construction process are produced because the process is invasive, such as involving excavation. However, the routine nature of the impacts means that most can be easily mitigated and the

54

impacts are clearly a result of the construction process rather than the design or location, as impacts will not occur if excavation or other ground disturbance is not involved.

67. As a result, there are several aspects of the environment which are not expected to be affected by the construction process and these can be screened out of the assessment at this stage as required by ADB procedure. These are shown in following table. These environmental factors are screened out presently but will be assessed again before starting the construction activities.

Table 8: Environmental component to be affected

Field Rationale

Topography, Soils, and Geology

Activities are not large enough to affect these features

Climate Activities are not large enough to affect this feature. Air Quality Short-term production of dust is the only effect on

atmosphere

Groundwater Activities will not be large enough to affect these features

Flora and Fauna No rare or endangered species in the landfill site. Economic Development Activities are not large enough to permanently affect

this feature.

Land Use No change in land use.

Socio-economic Subproject site is located entirely on government-owned land so there is no need to acquire land from private owners

Commerce, Industry, and Agriculture Activities are not large enough to affect these features

Population Activities are not large enough to affect this feature.

Health and education facilities Activities are not large enough to affect this feature. Anticipated Impacts and Mitigation Measures

68. Although construction of the subproject components involves quite simple techniques of civil work, the invasive nature of excavation and the subproject locations in the built-up areas of towns. Where there are a variety of human activities, will result to impacts to the environment and sensitive receptors such as residents, businesses, and the community in general. These anticipated impacts are temporary and for short duration. Physical impacts will be reduced by the method of working and scheduling of work, whereby the project components will be (i) constructed by small teams working at a time; (ii) any excavation done near sensitive area like school,religious places and house will be protected as per standard norms. (iii)Busy street and bazaar area will require night work. For night work Contractor will ensure lights not focusing on houses, (iv) Use of low noise generator. (v) Proper sinages and barricades. (vi)Prior noticed before construction work of a particular stretch to residences/shops etc.

69. Sources of Materials. Significant amount of gravel, sand, and cement will be

required for this subproject. The construction contractor will be required to: 55

• Use quarry sites and sources permitted by government; • Verify suitability of all material sources and obtain approval of UDED and ULB; and • Submit to MPUDC on a monthly basis documentation of sources of materials

70. Air Quality. It is most certain that work will be conducted during the dry season,

so there is potential for creating dust from the excavation of dry soil, backfilling, transportation to disposal, and from the import and storage of sand/gravel for bedding. Emissions from construction vehicles, equipment, and machinery used for excavation and construction will also induce impacts on the air quality in the construction sites. Anticipated impacts include dusts and increase in concentration of vehicle-related pollutants such as carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides, particulate matter, nitrous oxides, and hydrocarbons) but temporary and during construction activities only. To mitigate the impacts, construction contractors will be required to: • Consult with PMU/PIU on the designated areas for stockpiling of clay, soils,

gravel, and other construction materials; • Excavate the SRs foundations at the same time as the access roads (if

needed) are built so that dug material is used immediately, avoiding the need to stockpile on site;

• Damp down exposed soil and any stockpiled on site by spraying with water when necessary during dry weather;

• Bring materials (aggregates) as and when required; • Use tarpaulins to cover sand and other loose material when transported

by vehicles; • Fit all heavy equipment and machinery with air pollution control devices which

are operating correctly; and • Clean wheels and undercarriage of vehicles prior to leaving construction site.

71. Surface Water Quality. Run-off from stockpiled materials and chemical contamination from fuels and lubricants during construction works can contaminate downstream surface water quality of the streams. As the rainfall in the project areas is mostly confined to monsoon, these potential impacts are short-term and temporary. However, to ensure that these are mitigated, construction contractor will be required to:

• All earthworks be conducted during the dry season to prevent the problem of soil runoff during monsoon season;

• Pipeline works along Kothri stream shall be conducted during the no flow period. All the works should be completed including proper refilling and consolidation of refilled trench and site restoration prior to onset of monsoon in June.

• Avoid stockpiling of earth fill especially during the monsoon season unless covered by tarpaulins or plastic sheets;

• Prioritize re-use of excess spoils and materials in the construction works. If spoils will be disposed, only designated disposal areas shall be used;

• Install temporary silt traps or sedimentation basins along the drainage leading to the water bodies;

• Place storage areas for fuels and lubricants away from any drainage leading to water bodies;

• Dispose any wastes generated by construction activities in designated sites;

56

and • Conduct surface quality inspection according to the Environmental

Management Plan (EMP).

72. Generation of Construction Wastes. Solid wastes generated from the construction activities are excess excavated earth (spoils), discarded construction materials, cement bags, wood, steel, oils, fuels and other similar items. Domestic solid wastes may also be generated from the workers’ camp. Improper waste management could cause odor and vermin problems, pollution and flow obstruction of nearby watercourses and could negatively impact the landscape. The following mitigation measures to minimize impacts from waste generation shall be implemented by the contractor:

• Prepare and implement a Construction Waste Management Plan • Stockpiles, lubricants, fuels, and other materials should be located away

from steep slopes and water bodies; • Avoid stockpiling any excess spoils. Excess excavated soils should be

dispose to approved designated areas; • Domestic solid wastes should be properly segregated in biodegradable

and non- biodegradable for collection and disposal to designated solid waste disposal site;

• Residual and hazardous wastes such as oils, fuels, and lubricants shall be disposed in disposal sites approved by local authorities;

• Prohibit burning of construction and domestic waste; • Ensure that wastes are not haphazardly dumped within the project site and

adjacent areas. • Get approval of PIU in writing that the necessary environmental restoration

work has been adequately performed before acceptance of work.

73. Noise and Vibration Levels. Drilling tube wells will produce noise and vibration in considerable levels, the noise generation may be in the range of 85 – 98 dBA, which is damaging to human ear if experienced for long period. Of the 7 tube well points, 4 are located far from habitations 2 are located in proximity to the town (there are houses at about 50 m from the selected point). Increase in noise level may be also caused by excavation, particularly breaking of cement concrete or bitumen roads, operation of construction equipment like concrete mixers. Vibration generated from construction activity, for instance from the use of pneumatic drills, will have impact on nearby buildings and monuments. This impact is negative but short-term, and reversible by mitigation measures. The construction contractor will be required to:

• Plan activities in consultation with PIU so that activities with the greatest potential to generate noise are conducted during periods of the day which will result in least disturbance;

• Horns should not be used unless it is necessary to warn other road users or animals of the vehicle’s approach;

• Minimize noise from construction equipment by using vehicle silencers, fitting jackhammers with noise-reducing mufflers, and use portable street barriers to minimise sound impact to surrounding

57

sensitive receptor; and • Maintain maximum sound levels not exceeding 80 decibels (dBA) when

measured at a distance of 10 m or more from the vehicle/s.

• Identify any buildings at risk from vibration damage and avoiding any use of pneumatic drills or heavy vehicles in the vicinity;

• Provide personal protection equipment (ear plugs) to the rig operators and other staff engaged in supervision of rig

74. Surface and Groundwater Quality. Another physical impact that is often associated with excavation is the effect on drainage and the local water table if groundwater and surface water collect in the voids. In Bankhedi groundwater is deeper than the proposed excavation depths, and rains are limited to monsoon. However, to ensure that water will not pond in pits and voids near project location, the construction contractor will be required to conduct excavation works in non-monsoon season to the maximum extent possible. Drilling operation for tube well construction will generate a slurry material (water mixed with clay/earth). This material should be disposed in the following manner:

• Hold the slurry material in a temporary ditch for some time to allow sedimentation of solids, and dispose the clear water in the stream.

• Dispose appropriately or use the solid material in construction.

75. Accessibility. Excavation along the roads, hauling of construction materials and operation of equipment on-site can cause traffic problems. Roads in the core/old town areas of Bankhdehi are very narrow. However, most of the roads are used by pedestrians, bicycles and two wheelers. Four wheelers vehicles are very limited. Potential impact is negative but short term and reversible by mitigation measures. The construction contractor will be required to:

• Confine work areas along the roads to the minimum possible extent; all the activities, including material & waste/surplus soil stocking should be confined to this area. Proper barricading should be provided; avoid material/surplus soil stocking in congested areas – immediately removed from site/ or brought to the as and when required

• Leave spaces for access between mounds of soil; • Provide walkways and metal sheets where required to maintain access

across for people and vehicles; • Plan transportation routes so that heavy vehicles do not use narrow local

roads, except in the immediate vicinity of delivery sites; • Schedule transport and hauling activities during non-peak hours; • Locate entry and exit points in areas where there is low potential for

traffic congestion; • Keep the site free from all unnecessary obstructions; • Drive vehicles in a considerate manner; • Coordinate with Traffic Police for temporary road diversions, where

necessary, and for provision of traffic aids if transportation activities cannot be avoided during peak hours

• Notify affected public by public information notices, providing sign boards informing nature and duration of construction works and contact numbers

58

for concerns/complaints.

76. Wherever road width is minimal, there will be temporary loss of access to pedestrians and vehicular traffic including 2 wheelers during the laying of pipes. Under those circumstances, contractor shall adopt following measures:

• Inform the affected local population 1-week in advance about the work schedule • Plan and execute the work in such a way that the period of disturbance/

loss of access is minimum. • Provide pedestrian access in all the locations until normalcy is restored.

Provide wooden/metal planks over the open trenches at each house to maintain the access.

77. Socio-Economic – Income. The project components will be located in government land and there is no requirement for land acquisition or any resettlement. Construction works will impede the access of residents to specific site in limited cases. The potential impacts are negative and moderate but short-term and temporary. The construction contractor will be required to:

• Leave spaces for access between mounds of soil; • Provide walkways and metal sheets where required to maintain access across for

people and vehicles • Increase workforce in the areas with predominantly institutions, place of

worship, business establishment, hospitals, and schools; • Consult businesses and institutions regarding operating hours and

factoring this in work schedules; and • Provide sign boards for pedestrians to inform nature and duration of

construction works and contact numbers for concerns/complaints. • Notify community/ water users in advance about likely interruptions in water

supply. • Provide alternate sources of clean water until water supply is restored.

78. Socio-Economic – Employment. Manpower will be required during the 24-months construction stage. This can result in generation of temporary employment and increase in local revenue. Thus potential impact is positive and long-term. The construction contractor will be required to:

• Employ at least 50% of the labour force, or to the maximum extent; and

59

79. Occupational Health and Safety. Workers need to be mindful of the occupational hazards which can arise from working in height and excavation works. Potential impacts are negative and long-term but reversible by mitigation measures. The construction contractor will be required to:

• Comply with all national, state and local labour laws (see Appendix 7); • Implement site-specific occupational health and safety (OH&S) measures

including: (a) prevent entry of public into construction sites; (b) ensue all workers are provided with and use personal protective equipment; (c) OH&S Training4 for all site personnel; (d) documented procedures to be followed for all site activities; and (e) documentation of work-related accidents;

• Ensure that qualified first-aid is provided at all times. Equipped first-aid stations shall be easily accessible throughout the site;

• Provide medical insurance coverage for workers; • Secure all installations from unauthorized intrusion and accident risks; • Provide supplies of potable drinking water; • Provide clean eating areas where workers are not exposed to hazardous or

noxious substances; • Provide H&S orientation training to all new workers to ensure that they are

apprised of the basic site rules of work at the site, personal protective protection, and

4 Some of the key areas that may be covered during training as they relate to the primary causes of accidents include (i) slips, trips and falls; (ii) personal protective equipment; (iii) ergonomics, repetitive motion, and manual handling; (iv) workplace transport; and (v) legislation and responsibilities. Training can provide the foundations of competence but it does not necessarily result in a competent worker. Therefore, it is essential to assess staff competence to ensure that the training provided is relevant and effective. Supervision and monitoring arrangements shall be in place to ensure that training has been effective and the worker is competent at their job. The level of supervision and monitoring required is a management decision that shall be based on the risks associated with the job, the level of competence required, the experience of the individual and whether the worker works as part of a team or is a lone worker.

60

preventing injuring to fellow workers;

• Provide visitor orientation if visitors to the site can gain access to areas where hazardous conditions or substances may be present. Ensure also that visitor/s do not enter hazard areas unescorted;

• Ensure the visibility of workers through their use of high visibility vests when working in or walking through heavy equipment operating areas;

• Ensure moving equipment is outfitted with audible back-up alarms; • Mark and provide sign boards for hazardous areas such as energized

electrical devices and lines, service rooms housing high voltage equipment, and areas for storage and disposal. Signage shall be in accordance with international standards and be well known to, and easily understood by workers, visitors, and the general public as appropriate; and

• Disallow worker exposure to noise level greater than 85 dBA for duration of more than 8 hours per day without hearing protection. The use of hearing protection shall be enforced actively.

80. Community Health and Safety. Hazards posed to the public, specifically in high- pedestrian areas may include traffic accidents and vehicle collision with pedestrians. Potential impact is negative but short-term and reversible by mitigation measures. The construction contractor will be required to:

• Plan routes to avoid times of peak-pedestrian activities. • Liaise with PIU in identifying risk areas on route cards/maps. • Maintain regularly the vehicles and use of manufacturer-approved parts to

minimize potentially serious accidents caused by equipment malfunction or premature failure.

• Provide road signs and flag persons to warn of on-going trenching activities.

81. Central parts of the towns are characterized by narrow roads and some of which are accessible only by foot/two wheelers. Besides impeding the access, the trench excavation and pipe laying will pose safety risks to pedestrians, and the people living in these areas. Though the width (~400 mm) and depth (~700 mm) of trench is minimal, it will pose safety risk, especially for children and elders The construction contractor will be required to:

• Provide prior information to the local people about the nature and duration of work

• Conduct awareness program on safety during the construction work • Undertake the construction work stretch-wise; excavation, pipe laying and

trench refilling should be completed on the same day • Provide barricades, and deploy security personnel to ensure safe

movement of people and also to prevent unnecessary entry and to avoid accidental fall into open trenches

61

82. Work Camps. Operation of work camps can cause temporary air and noise pollution from machine operation, water pollution from storage and use of fuels, oils, solvents, and lubricants. Potential impacts are negative but short-term and reversible by mitigation measures. The construction contractor will be required to:

• Consult PIU before locating project offices, sheds, and construction plants; • Minimize removal of vegetation and disallow cutting of trees; • Provide drinking water, water for other uses, and sanitation facilities for

employees; • Ensure conditions of live ability at work camps are maintained at the

highest standards possible at all times; • Prohibit workers from hunting wild animals and cutting of trees for firewood; • Train employees in the storage and handling of materials which can

potentially cause soil contamination; • Recover used oil and lubricants and reuse or remove from the site; • Manage solid waste according to the following preference hierarchy: reuse,

recycling and disposal to designated areas; • Remove all wreckage, rubbish, or temporary structures which are no longer

required; and • Confirm to PMU report in writing that the camp has been vacated and

restored to pre-project conditions before acceptance of work.

83. Debris disposal. Prior to the commencement of works, contractor shall identify a debris disposal site in consultation with the PIU and adhering to following criteria:

• The site shall be selected preferably from barren, infertile lands. In case agricultural land needs to be selected, top-soil stripping, stacking and preservation should be undertaken prior to initiation of any activities.

• Debris disposal site shall be at least 200 m away from surface water bodies5. • No residential areas shall be located within 100 m downwind side of the site. • The site is minimum 250 m. away from sensitive locations like hospitals,

religious places, ponds/lakes or other water bodies. • The local governing body and community shall be consulted while selecting the

site.

A. Operation and Maintenance Impacts 84. Operation and Maintenance of the water supply system will be carried out by KNP directly or through an external operator. During the system design life (15/30 years for mechanical/civil components) it shall not require major repairs or refurbishments and should operate with little maintenance beyond routine actions required to keep the equipment in working order. The stability and integrity of the system will be monitored periodically to detect any problems and allow remedial action if required. Any repairs will be small-scale involving manual, temporary, and short-term works involving regular checking and recording of performance for signs of deterioration, servicing and replacement of parts.

85. Recurrence of pipe bursting and leakage problems can be managed

62

by the leak detection and water auditing surveys. The ULB will be required to ensure that the leak detection and rectification time is minimized.

86. Regular groundwater monitoring to be conducted to ensure the quality of groundwater suitable for drinking after disinfection. If the groundwater quality is deteriorated, the immediate steps to be taken to change the source or creating appropriate treatment facilities.

87. The citizens of Bankhedi will be the major beneficiaries of the improved water supply system, as they will be provided with a constant supply of better quality water, piped into their homes at an appropriate pressure. The project will improve the over-all health condition of the town as water borne diseases will be reduced, so people should spend less on healthcare and lose fewer working days due to illness, so their economic status should also improve, as well as their overall health. This should also improve the environment of these areas, should deliver major improvements in individual and community health and well- being.

5 In the absence of site meeting the stipulated criteria, an alternate site can be selected

specifying the reasons. In such a case, the construction camp management plan should incorporate additional measures specific to the site as suggested by the Construction Manager.

63

6. PUBLIC CONSULTATION AND INFORMATION DISCLOSURE

6.1 OVERVIEW 88. The active participation of stakeholders including local community, NGOs, and the

media in all stages of project preparation and implementation is essential for successful implementation of the project. It will ensure that the subprojects are designed, constructed, and operated with utmost consideration to local needs, ensures community acceptance, and will bring maximum benefits to the people. Public consultation and information disclosure is a must as per the ADB policy.

89. Most of the main stakeholders have already been identified and consulted during

preparation of this IEE, and any others that are identified during project implementation will be brought into the process in the future. Primary stakeholders of the subproject are: residents, shopkeepers and businesspeople who live and work alongside the roads in which network improvements will be provided and near sites where facilities will be built (WTP and water tanks), and government and utility agencies responsible for provision of services in towns. Secondary stakeholder are: NGOs and CBOs working in the area, community representatives, beneficiary community in general, government agencies, the executing and implementing agencies (UDED, PMU and PIUs), Government of India and the ADB.

90. The public consultation and disclosure program is a continuous process throughout the

project implementation, including project planning, design and construction.

6.2 PUBLIC CONSULTATION

91. The public consultation and disclosure program is a continuous process throughout the project implementation, including project planning, design and construction.

92. Consultation during Project Preparation: Institutional consultations were conducted

with the Governmental Departments such as PMU, Pollution Control Board, Public Health Engineering Department, Water Resourced Department, ULB etc. The project proposal is formulated in consultation with Nagar Parishads and suit the requirements of the ULBs.

93. Focus-group discussions with affected persons and other stakeholders were conducted to learn their views and concerns. A socio economic household survey has been conducted in the town, covering sample households, to understand the household characteristics, health status, and the infrastructure service levels, and also the demand

64

for infrastructure services. General public and the people residing along the project activity areas were also consulted during visits to the project sites. The detailed of Public consultation meeting is given in Appendix 2.

94. It was observed that people are willing to extend their cooperation as the proposed

activities are proposed to enhance the infrastructure service levels and the living standard of the public. The public expressed their concern regarding the nuisance and disturbance (dust, road closure and traffic management activities)

95. Consultation during construction: P r i o r to start of construction, ULB and PIU with

the assistance of PDMC will conduct information dissemination sessions at various places and solicit the help of the local community, leaders/prominent for the project work. At each ward/neighborhood level, focus group meetings will be conducted to discuss and plan construction work with local communities to reduce disturbance and other impacts.

96. A constant communication will be established with the affected communities to redress

the environmental issues likely to surface during construction phases and also regarding the grievance redress mechanism. ULB/PIU and PDMC will organize public meetings and will appraise the communities about the progress on the implementation of EMP. Meeting will also be organized at the potential hotspots/sensitive locations before and during the construction.

6.3 INFORMATION DISCLOSURE 97. Executive summary of the IEE will be translated in Hindi and made available at the

offices of PMU, PIU, Nagar Parishad offices, and also displayed on their notice boards. Hard copies of the IEE will be accessible to citizens as a means to disclose the document and at the same time creating wider public awareness. Electronic version of the IEE in English and Executive Summary in Hindi will be placed in the official website of the UAED, PMU after approval of the IEE by Government and ADB. Stakeholders will also be made aware of grievance register and redress mechanism.

98. Public information campaigns to explain the project details to a wider population will be

conducted. Public disclosure meetings will be conducted at key project stages to inform the public of progress and future plans. Prior to start of construction, the PMU/PIU will issue Notification on the start date of implementation in local newspapers A board showing the details of the project will be displayed at the construction site for the information of general public.

99. Local communities will be continuously consulted regarding location of construction

camps, access and hauling routes and other likely disturbances during construction. The road closure together with the proposed detours will be communicated via advertising, pamphlets, radio broadcasts, road signage, etc.

65

7.PROJECT SPECIFIC GRIEVANCE READRESS MECHANISM

100. A program-specific grievance redress mechanism (GRM) shall be established to receive, evaluate, and facilitate the resolution of AP’s concerns, complaints, and grievances about the social and environmental performance at the level of the project. The following GRM provides a time-bound and transparent mechanism to voice and resolve social and environmental concerns linked to the project.

101. A common GRM will be in place for social, environmental, or any other grievances related to the project. The GRM will provide an accessible and trusted platform for receiving and facilitating resolution of affected persons’ grievances related to the program. The multi- tier GRM for the project is outlined below, each tier having time-bound schedules and with responsible persons identified to address grievances and seek appropriate persons’ advice at each stage, as required. ULB-wide public awareness campaigns will ensure that awareness on grievance redress procedures is generated through the campaign.

102. Who Can Complain A complaint may be brought by persons who are, or could be, “directly, indirectly, materially, and adversely” affected by the project. A complaint can be submitted on behalf of the affected person/people by a representative, provided that he or she identifies the affected person/people and includes evidence of the authority to act on their behalf.

103. What the Grievance/Complain Should Contain Any concerns pertaining to safeguard compliance - environment, involuntary resettlement, and indigenous people, design related issues, compensation, service delivery or any other issues or concerns related to the project. The complaint must contain name, date, address/contact details of the complainant, location of the problem area, along with the problem.

104. Where to File a Complaint Complainants will have the flexibility of conveying grievances/suggestions by dropping grievance redress/ suggestion forms in complaints/suggestion boxes to be installed by project at Sohagpur and Bankhedi Nagar Parishad offices, PIU offices or by e-mail or by writing in a complaints register in the PIU offices or at construction site offices.

105. How to File a Complaint The application should be precise and specific. The application can be sent either by post or through electronic means or deliver personally. A sample grievance form is at Appendix 16.

I. Offline System- The application can be made on the application form available at all accessible places (NPs/Office of PIUs/construction site offices). The application should have the name and complete postal address of the applicant.

II. Online System-Grievance pertaining to the implementation of the project can also be

66

filed online at the website of UAED/PMU or by e-mails.

106. Documentation: Documentation of the complaints is important and must contain name of the complainant, date of receipt of the complaint, address/contact details of the person, location of the problem area, and how the problem was resolved. PMU with the support of PIU will have the overall responsibility for timely grievance redress, and for registration of grievances, related disclosure, and communication with the aggrieved party. All the documents made available to the public at the community level (at ward offices) and will include information on the contact number, address and contact person for registering grievances, and will be disseminated throughout the project area by the PIU.

107. Grievance/problem redress through participatory process: Efforts must be made by the PIU with the support of safeguard consultants to resolve problems amicably, conflicts through participatory process with the community and the Nagar Parishads. In case of grievances that are immediate and urgent in the perception of the complainant, the Contractor, and supervision personnel from the PIU will provide the most easily accessible or first level of contact for the quick resolution of grievances. Contact phone numbers and names of the concerned staff and contractors, will be posted at all construction sites at visible locations.

Following process will be followed: (i) 1stlevelgrievance: In case of grievances that are immediate and urgent in the

perception of the complainant, PMC supervising staff will direct the contract or to and ensures that it is resolved. If the grievance is not under the contractor scope, but under the program, PMC (field office) will resolve this issue.

8. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

8.1 OVERVIEW

110. The following tables show the potential environmental impacts, proposed mitigation measures and responsible agencies for implementation and monitoring.

111. The purpose of the environmental management plan (EMP) is to: ensure that the

activities are undertaken in a responsible, non-detrimental manner following the measures and recommendations of the environmental assessment conducted for the project, monitor and report the on-site environmental performance; and to ensure that safety recommendations are complied with.

112. A copy of the EMP must be kept at work sites at all times. This EMP will be

included in the bid documents and will be further reviewed and updated during implementation. The EMP will be made binding on all contractors operating on the site and will be included in the contractual clauses. Non-compliance with, or any deviation from, the conditions set out in this document constitutes a failure in compliance.

113. For civil works, the contractor will be required to (i) carry out all of the mitigation

and monitoring measures set forth in the EMP; and (ii) implement any corrective or preventative actions set out in safeguards monitoring reports that the employer will prepare from time to time to monitor implementation of this IEE and EMP. The contractor shall allocate budget for compliance with these EMP measures, requirements and actions.

Field Anticipated Impact

Mitigation Measures Responsible for Implementation/ Monitoring

Cost and Source of Funds

Design of water supply system

Unsustainable source – depleting resource and source contamination

� Conduct a detailed groundwater study and prepare a groundwater sustainability plan for Bankhedi/ Sohagpur to address the groundwater sustainability issue.

� Implementation of Source Sustainability Plan will be part of the project and will inter alia include measures like sub-surface dykes; a combination of sub-surface dyke and check dam; check dam; recharge pits; recharge shafts, community roof top rainwater harvesting systems, etc.,

� All the proposed tube wells are located in along a seasonal stream. The groundwater recharge occurs mainly from the flowing stream, and partly from agricultural field. The recharge will increase the water is retained in the stream for more time. Construction of a series small check dams in the stream (say at every 500 m or as appropriate) will ensure water retention thereby augmenting the groundwater recharge. Check dams can be constructed with locally available material (say stone masonry or soil), and the height of which shall be limited, so that water inundation is confined to the stream section itself. No water abstraction directly from the storage shall be allowed.

� Creation of recharge shafts in the stream body. This will involve creation of bore hole of appropriate depth and of larger size and filled with filler material (like gravel, aggregate). This will

70

augment the recharge. � Creation of artificial recharge pits in public places

/ public buildings. Local body can issue a notification to this effect.

� Household level artificial recharge (like roof top rainwater harvesting) should be encouraged.

� Measures should be taken to control the open defecation, and to close all unsafe latrines (for example pit latrines).

� Awareness programs shall be conducted regarding the sanitation practices and its effect on groundwater quality

Design of water supply system

Unsustainable source – depleting resource and source contamination

Following measures suggested by the groundwater study conducted in towns during PPTA, which should be implemented: � Suitable measures for groundwater recharge

have to be taken up. � Create an inventory of all groundwater

sources in the municipality (existing and proposed)

� Suitable measures to be taken to prevent contamination of water sources; cement sealing and length of casing pipe is to be included in the design. Suitable provisions should be made for lining of drains and prevention and chocking / overflow / lateral and vertical seepage.

� Proper monitoring groundwater withdrawal to be conducted; all the tube wells should be fitted with flow meters. Piezometers should be constructed at suitable locations to identify ground water aquifer zones.

� A detailed study of hydrogeology, land use and geomorphology of the region should be conducted and source sustainability plan should be prepared incorporating the water cycle of area, the water budget, and the groundwater assessment.

� Following sustainability structures are suggested: sub-surface dyke; a combination of sub-surface dyke and check dam; check dam; recharge pits; recharge shafts, community roof top rainwater harvesting systems. However, it is highly recommended that these structurers, their design and location, must be finalized after a thorough study of groundwater conditions of the area and must be as per the sustainability plan of the towns.

� Conjunctive use of ground and surface water must be promoted

� The annular space between the casing pipe and the wall of the bore well must be sealed with cement slurry in order to prevent groundwater contamination

� A 1m x 1m x 1m concrete block is to be constructed around the exposed casing pipe above the surface. The block will be 50 cm above the ground and 50 cm below the ground to holdfast the casing pipe. The top of the casing pipe should be at least 90 cm above the ground or above the reported HFL of the site, whichever is higher.

� Suitable measures to be taken to prevent contamination of source since the water quality may be impacted by untreated sewage flowing nearby; suitable provisions should be made for lining of drains and prevention and chocking / overflow / lateral and vertical seepage.

Improper use of resource and energy

� Minimize water losses from pipelines by perfect jointing and alignments using appropriate techniques (PE pipes up to 150 mm dia joined by electro fusion couplers using on-site electro fusion welding, and all higher diameter pipes by on site butt

72

welding) � Design the entire system to maintain optimal flow

and terminal pressure, and optimising the overall energy usage

� Reducing the incidence of water borne diseases by providing 100% population including urban poor with potable water supplies

� Improve water use efficiency and reduce water wastage at household level by recording and monitoring the water usage, and charging the consumers as per usage; due consideration to urban poor

� Minimize unaccounted for water (UFW) losses using district metered area approach with flow meter and pressure logging arrangements to identify and rectify the leaks, and unauthorized connections

� Use low-noise and energy efficient pumping systems

9. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION 128. The process described in this document has assessed the environmental impacts of all

elements of the Package 1Ctowns water supply improvement subproject. All potential impacts were identified in relation to pre-construction, construction, and operation phases. Planning principles and design considerations have been reviewed and incorporated into the site planning and design process wherever possible; thus, environmental impacts as being due to the project design or location were not significant.

129. For the Sohagpur town, the demand of water supply for the year 2018, 2033 & 2048 are estimated to the tune of 4.50 MLD, 5.20 MLD & 6.00 MLD respectively. Thus maximum of 6.00 MLD intake form the source per annum i.e. 2190 ML (2.19 MCM) of drawl of water is to be ensured. Water analysis of Narmada River at the location of intake well was done as per drinking water standard. All the parameters were found within limit for using drinking purpose.

130. There is an important design issue for Bankhedi WSS related to selection of

groundwater as source. In the absence of any reliable surface water source in the proximity, it is proposed to continue groundwater source for Bankhedi. However, given the current critical stage of groundwater development, the abstraction should be combined with groundwater augmentation measures, and therefore it is proposed to undertake a detail study and include the recommendation of the study in the project implementation. This study will look into both groundwater sustainability and quality.

131. Water source sustainability of Narmada River for Sohagpur has been reviewed based on the available data. Permission of water resources department is a prerequisite for this project, and this needs to be obtained prior to invitation of bids for civil works. Water quality is appropriate for drinking water supply after treatment and disinfection. There is no any forest area within project area. Satpura forest reservoir is situated around 10 km away from the both town. But there will not be any impact of the project on the forest reservoir

132. During the construction phase, impacts mainly arise from the construction dust and noise, the need to dispose of large quantities of waste soil and import a similar amount of sand to support the sewer in the trenches; and from the disturbance of residents, businesses, traffic and important buildings by the construction work. The social impacts (access disruptions) due to construction activities are unavoidable, as the residential and commercial establishments exist along the roads where pipes will be laid. Avoidance of work during at important tourist place during the peak tourist season is suggested.

133. Anticipated impacts of water supply during operation and maintenance will be related to

95

detection and repair of leaks, pipe bursts. These are, however, likely to be minimal, as proper design and selection of good quality pipe material shall mean that leaks are minimal. Leak repair work will be similar to the pipe-laying work. Application and handling of chlorine gas will involve certain risks, and appropriate measures are suggested for safe application.

134. The public participation processes undertaken during project design ensured stakeholders are engaged during the preparation of the IEE. The planned information disclosure measures and process for carrying out consultation with affected people will facilitate their participation during project implementation.

135. The project’s grievance redressal mechanism will provide the citizens with a platform for

redressal of their grievances, and describes the informal and formal channels, time frame, and mechanisms for resolving complaints about environmental performance.

136. The EMP will assist the PMU, PIU, PDMC and contractors in mitigating the

environmental impacts, and guide them in the environmentally sound execution of the proposed project.

137. A copy of the EMP shall be kept on-site during the construction period at all times. The

EMP shall be made binding on all contractors operating on the site, and will be included in the contractual clauses. Non-compliance with, or any deviation from, the conditions set out in this document shall constitute a failure in compliance

138. The project will benefit the general public by contributing to the long-term improvement

of water supply and sewerage systems and community livability in towns. The potential adverse environmental impacts are mainly related to the construction period, which can be minimized by the mitigating measures and environmentally sound engineering and construction practices.

139. Therefore, as per ADB SPS, the project is classified as environmental category B and

does not require further environmental impact assessment. However, to conform to government guidelines projects require (i) permission of WRD, GoMP for water abstraction from water Reservoirs(ii) WTP requires Consent for Establishment (CFE) and Consent for Operation (CFO) from Madhya Pradesh Pollution Control Board. These permissions/approvals shall be obtained prior to invitation of bids for civil works.

140. IEE report shall be updated during design stage by DBO contractor to reflect any

change, amendment and will be reviewed and approved by PMU.

Appendix 19: Sample Outline Spoils (construction waste) Management Plan

• The Spoil Management Plan should be site specific and be part of the monthly Construction Management Plan.

• The contractor, in consultation with the PIU, has to find out appropriate location/s for the disposal of the excess soil generated. The spoils should be deposited only at these sites.

• Further precautions need to be taken in case of the contaminated spoils • The vehicle carrying the spoil should be covered properly. • The spoils generating from each site should be removed on the same day or

immediately after the work is complete. The site / road should be restored to the original condition.

I. Spoils information The spoil information contains the details like a) The type / material, b) Potential contamination by that type, c) Expected volume (site / component specific), d) Spoil Classification etc. II. Spoils management The Spoil Management section gives the details of a) Transportation of spoil b) disposal site details c) Precautions taken d) Volume of contaminated spoil, if present, d) Suggested reuse of disposal of the spoil III. Documentation The volume of spoil generated (site specific, date wise), site disposed, reuse / disposal details should be documented properly.

Appendix 20: Sample Outline Traffic Management Plan A. Principles for TMP around the Water Pipes Construction Sites 1. One of the prime objectives of this TMP is to ensure the safety of all the road users along

the work zone, and to address the following issues: (i) the safety of pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists travelling through the construction

zone; (ii) protection of work crews from hazards associated with moving traffic; (iii) mitigation of the adverse impact on road capacity and delays to the road users; (iv) maintenance of access to adjoining properties; and (v) Addressing issues that may delay the project.

B. Operating Policies for TMP 2. The following principles will help promote safe and efficient movement for all road users

(motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians, including persons with disabilities) through and around work zones while reasonably protecting workers and equipment. (i) Make traffic safety and temporary traffic control an integral and high-priority element of project from planning through design, construction, and maintenance. (ii) Inhibit traffic movement as little as possible. (iii) Provide clear and positive guidance to drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians as they approach and travel through the temporary traffic control zone. (iv) Inspect traffic control elements routinely, both day and night, and make modifications when necessary. (v) Pay increased attention to roadside safety in the vicinity of temporary traffic control zones. (vi) Train all persons that select, place, and maintain temporary traffic control devices. (vii) Keep the public well informed. (viii) Make appropriate accommodation for abutting property owners, residents, businesses, emergency services, railroads, commercial vehicles, and transit operations.

3. Figure A2 to Figure A12illustrates the operating policy for TMP for the construction of water

pipes and the sewers along various types of roads. C. Analyze the impact due to street closure 4. Apart from the capacity analysis, a final decision to close a particular street and divert the

traffic should involve the following steps: (i) approval from the ULB/Public Works Department (PWD) to use the local streets as

detours; (ii) consultation with businesses, community members, traffic police, PWD, etc, regarding

the mitigation measures necessary at the detours where the road is diverted during the construction;

(iii) determining of the maximum number of days allowed for road closure, and incorporation of such provisions into the contract documents;

150

(iv) determining if additional traffic control or temporary improvements are needed along the detour route;

(v) considering how access will be provided to the worksite; (vi) contacting emergency service, school officials, and transit authorities to determine if

there are impacts to their operations; and (vii) Developing a notification program to the public so that the closure is not a surprise. As

part of this program, the public should be advised of alternate routes that commuters can take or will have to take as result of the traffic diversion.

5. If full road-closure of certain streets within the area is not feasible due to inadequate

capacity of the Detour Street or public opposition, the full closure can be restricted to weekends with the construction commencing on Saturday night and ending on Monday morning prior to the morning peak period.

Figure A1: Policy Steps for the TMP

D. Public awareness and notifications

Review • Review construction schedule and methods

Traffic Re-Circulation

• Identify initial traffic recirculation and control policy

Traffic Diversions

• Identify routes for traffic diversions • Analyse adverse impact & mitigation at the detours

Full Road Colsures

• Begin community consultation for consensus • Finalise or determine alternate detours

Temporary parking

• Identify temporary parking (on and off -street ) • Discuss with CMC, owner, community for use

Police Coordination

• Coordinate with theTraffic Police to enforce traffic and diversions

Install control devices

• Install traffic control devices (traffic cones, sgns, lightings, etc)

Awareness • Conduct campaigns, publicity, and notify public about street closure

Public Redress

• Develop a mechanism to address public grievances regarding disruptons (traffic, utilities, and diversions)

151

6. As per discussions in the previous sections, there will be travel delays during the constructions, as is the case with most construction projects, albeit on a reduced scale if utilities and traffic management are properly coordinated. There are additional grounds for travel delays in the area, as most of the streets lack sufficient capacity to accommodate additional traffic from diverted traffic as a result of street closures to accommodate the works.

7. The awareness campaign and the prior notification for the public will be a continuous activity which the project will carry out to compensate for the above delays and minimize public claims as result of these problems. These activities will take place sufficiently in advance of the time when the roadblocks or traffic diversions take place at the particular streets. The reason for this is to allow sufficient time for the public and residents to understand the changes to their travel plans. The project will notify the public about the roadblocks and traffic diversion through public notices, ward level meetings and city level meeting with the elected representatives.

8. The PIU will also conduct an awareness campaign to educate the public about the following issues:

(i) Traffic control devices in place at the work zones (signs, traffic cones, barriers, etc.); (ii) defensive driving behaviour along the work zones; and (iii) Reduced speeds enforced at the work zones and traffic diversions.

9. It may be necessary to conduct the awareness programs/campaigns on road safety during

construction. 10. The campaign will cater to all types of target groups i.e. children, adults, and drivers.

Therefore, these campaigns will be conducted in schools and community centres. In addition, the project will publish a brochure for public information. These brochures will be widely circulated around the area and will also be available at the PIU, and the contractor's site office. The text of the brochure should be concise to be effective, with a lot of graphics. It will serve the following purpose:

(i) explain why the brochure was prepared, along with a brief description of the project; (ii) advise the public to expect the unexpected; (iii) educate the public about the various traffic control devices and safety measures adopted

at the work zones; (iv) educate the public about the safe road user behaviour to emulate at the work zones; (v) tell the public how to stay informed or where to inquire about road safety issues at the

work zones (name, telephone, mobile number of the contact person; and (vi) Indicate the office hours of relevant offices.

E. Install traffic control devices at the work zones and traffic diversion routes

11. The purpose of installing traffic control devices at the work zones is to delineate these areas to warn, inform, and direct the road users about a hazard ahead, and to protect them as well as the workers. As proper delineation is a key to achieve the above objective, it is important

152

to install good traffic signs at the work zones. The following traffic control devices are used in work zones:

• Signs • Pavement Markings • Channelizing Devices • Arrow Panels • Warning Lights

12. Procedures for installing traffic control devices at any work zone vary, depending on road

configuration, location of the work, construction activity, duration, traffic speed and volume, and pedestrian traffic. Work will take place along major roads, and the minor internal roads. As such, the traffic volume and road geometry vary. The main roads carry considerable traffic; internal roads in the new city areas are wide but in old city roads very narrow and carry considerable traffic. However, regardless of where the construction takes place, all the work zones should be cordoned off, and traffic shifted away at least with traffic cones, barricades, and temporary signs (temporary “STOP” and “GO”).

13. Figure A2 to Figure A6 illustrates a typical set-up for installing traffic control devices at the

work zone of the area, depending on the location of work on the road way, and road geometrics: • Work on shoulder or parking lane • Shoulder or parking lane closed on divided road • Work in Travel lane • Lane closure on road with low volume • Street closure with detour

14. The work zone should take into consideration the space required for a buffer zone between the workers and the traffic (lateral and longitudinal) and the transition space required for delineation, as applicable. For the works, a 30 cm clearance between the traffic and the temporary STOP and GO signs should be provided. In addition, at least 60 cm is necessary to install the temporary traffic signs and cones.

15. Traffic police should regulate traffic away from the work zone and enforce the traffic diversion result from full street closure in certain areas during construction. Flaggers/ personnel should be equipped with reflective jackets at all times and have traffic control batons (preferably the LED type) for regulating the traffic during night time.

16. In addition to the delineation devices, all the construction workers should wear fluorescent safety vests and helmets in order to be visible to the motorists at all times. There should be provision for lighting beacons and illumination for night constructions.
