address both water quality and water quantity issues. The programme aims at integrating previous & currently

ongoing initiatives by enhancing efficiency, extracting synergies and supplementing them with more comprehensive

& better coordinated interventions. Namami Gange Programme has been segregated into two different

components:

► Component A: Pertains to ongoing projects of cleaning of river Ganga & its tributaries, including World Bank

Assisted NGRBA programme having remaining central liabilities.

► Component B: Pertains to new initiatives to be undertaken in 5 major sectors i.e. Infrastructure Development

(Sewage Treatment, River Front Development, and Industrial Wastewater Treatment & Solid Waste

Management), Institutional Development, Ecological Sustainability, Research & Development and

Communication & Public Outreach.

PROJECT AREA

3. The project city is located in Saharanpur District of Uttar Pradesh and is the administrative head quarter of

the Saharanpur Division. The city is situated close to the borders of the States of Haryana and Uttarakhand and

located about 550 km from the capital city of Lucknow, 164 km from Delhi and 70 km from Dehradun, the capital of

the state of Uttarakhand.

4. Saharanpur city is situated in the upper doab region and is the land laying between two converging or

confluent Rivers Yamuna and Ganga. The city grew in a region named after a Sufi Saint Shah Haroon Chishti. The

city has been selected for developing infrastructure under both the 'Smart City' and AMRUT missions, which are to

be funded by the central government of India.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

5. The Project area lies between latitude 290 ヰヰげ aﾐd ンヰ0

ヲヴげﾐoヴth aﾐd loﾐgitude ΑΑ0 Αヰげ aﾐd ΑΒ0

ヱヲげ east iﾐ the upper Ganga doab

2 in the Indo-Gangetic plains of India. The State of Uttar Pradesh is classified into three

distinct regions: (i) the northern sub-mountain region called Tarai, (ii) the Gangetic Plains and (iii) the Southern

Plateau. Additionally, for the purpose of development planning, Bundelkhand region is separated from Southern

Plateau. Geographically, Saharanpur city is located in northwestern Gangetic plains and Tarai, Bhahbar zones of

Uttar Pradesh State, India. The area is flat alluvial plain with a gentle slope from north to south direction.

6. The municipal corporation of Saharanpur (as of 2011) is 46.74 Km2 and the other census town covering

6.29Km2. The entire Saharanpur district is divided into 5 tehsils namely, Saharanpur, Behat, Nakur, Deoband and

2 Doab is a term used in South Asia for the "tongue," or tract of land lying between two converging, or confluent, rivers. It is

similar to an interfluve.

Rampur Maniharan. According to the 2011 census, Saharanpur city (Municipal Corporation3) has population of

705,478 and the number of households4 is 129,856.

7. As per the Environmental and Social Management Framework (NGRBA, 2011)5, the implementation of such

river pollution mitigation projects under the NGRBP is anticipated to encounter a variety of environmental and

social issues/problems. Therefore, the study of the environment and social sector is required for analyzing the

impacts of the proposed project and suggesting the management plans to handle any negative impacts. In this

regard, the Environmental and Social Due Diligence Report (ESDDR) has been prepared.

8. The ESDDR will provide a clear understanding of the prevailing and expected environmental and social

impacts as well as their probable causes, which have to be considered while preparing and implementing the

proposed interventions for strengthening the existing and proposed sewerage infrastructure of Saharanpur.

EXISTING SCENARIO OF SEWERAGE FACILITIES

9. Sewerage system in Saharanpur was partially implemented and the entire sewage and sullage is carried by

the existing system of open nalas and discharge into rivers of Dhamola or Pandhoi, resulting in deterioration of

water quality of these rivers.

10. In the year 1998, under Yamuna Action Plan-1 (YAP1) interception and diversion works and STP had been

provided in the city. The total length of the sewerage network in Saharanpur Nagar Nigam is about 111 Km. out of

which 27.37 Km. is trunk sewer and 84.15 km of Brach sewers. The entire piped sewerage system is divided into 4

zones and encompassing 30 wards and 157 colonies. There are 3 Intermediate Pumping Stations (IPS) and 1 Main

Pumping Station (MPS) and 1 STP (38 MLD).

11. The sewer flow from Intermediate Pumping Stations (IPS) is pumped to manholes located on the trunk

sewers and is carried by gravity to Main Pumping Station (MPS) located at Praduman Nagar STP.

12. Presently, in Saharanpur city total 51 drains were trapped during YAP-1 and connected with sewerage

system to divert flow to the STP of 38 MLD at Praduman Nagar through 3 intermediate Pumping Stations (IPS).

Saharanpur city does not have a proper sewerage system and all houses have individual septic tanks that discharge

into the open drains causing pollution.

NECESSITY OF THIS PROJECT

13. Saharanpur city, unlike other Indian cities, does not have a centralized existing sewer system for collection,

transportation, treatment and disposal of domestic and institutional wastewater. Due to tremendous population

growth and increased areas of habitation, different sections of existing main and branch sewers network are

partially and/or fully chocked. The untreated sewerage disposal is also a critical area; most of the wastewater of

town and from un-sewered areas is discharged directly into the drains creating an unhygienic environment.

Likewise, the effluents from industries, slaughterhouses etc. are also discharged directly into the drains without any

treatment. In addition to the above, during monsoon the wastewater from the nalas (which are small open drains),

overflows into the nearby roads and by-lanes resulting in waterlogging and ponding at various locations in the city.

This creates nuisance and unhygienic conditions and eventually leads to serious health hazards. Further, individual

septic tanks are not properly maintained in the city and are one of the major sources of pollution. Hence, it is of

utmost importance to develop proper septate management in Saharanpur city.

14. Therefore, in order to reduce pollution load of major drains of Saharanpur, the existing sewerage network

necessities renovation, strengthening and establishment of new STP along with intermediate pumping stations, so

that the wastewater would be treated before its discharge to Pandhoi and Dhamola Rivers, which finally joins with

the Ganga River at downstream.

PROPOSED PROJECT ACTIVITIES

15. The proposed project involves strengthening of existing sewerage infrastructure of the Saharanpur district

by intercepting and diverting the wastewater flowing through existing nalas, newly proposed sewage treatment

plant of capacity 85 MLD to treat the wastewater before its discharge to Dhamola and Pandhoi rivers, which finally

joins with the Ganga River at downstream.

16. According to the Detailed Project Report (DPR), the ﾏajoヴ Ioﾏpoﾐeﾐts of the pヴoposed さIﾐteヴIeptioﾐ & Diversion with STP at Saharanpur, Uttaヴ Pヴadeshざ uﾐdeヴ Naﾏaﾏi Gaﾐge Pヴogヴaﾏ iﾐIlude:

► Interception & Diversion structures (9 Nos.)

► Raising main and I&D network.

► New MPS (1 No.)

► Construction of new Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) of capacity 85 MLD.

► Operation & maintenance (O&M) for 15 years.

► Installation of trash arresting rack and its regular O&M at the mouth of all drains.

► Adequate provision for handling septage in the STP.

APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY

17. The Environmental and Social Due Diligence Report (ESDDR) is prepared by LEA Associates South Asia

Private Limited, New Delhi, on the basis of Detailed Project Report that has been prepared by UP Jal Nigam. The

Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF of NGRBA, 2011) is intended to identify and assess the

several environment and social impacts (both positive and negative) that may results for the proposed river

pollution mitigation project of Rivers Dhamola and Pandhoi at Saharanpur, under NGRBP, as well as to provide a

corresponding management plan to handle any adverse/negative impacts. The methodology adopted for

conducting Environmental and Social Due Diligence for the proposed interventions includes –

► Review of available documents and data collection,

► Describing the sub-project activities,

► Describing the baseline profile of project area,

► Survey and interactions / discussions with the key stakeholders,

► Discussions with the host population,

► Screening Activities,

► Identification and analysis of impacts,

► Formulation of Management Action Plan,

► Preparation of ESDDR

PROJECT SCREENING

18. The project screening was carried out to understand the nature, scale and magnitude of environmental and

social issues associated with the project. The screening activity was conducted as per the guidelines provided in

Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF of NGRBA, 2011) and on the secondary data analysis,

field assessments and stakeholder interactions/consultations. Thereafter, based on the aforementioned, the

environmental and social impacts were identified and analyzed to develop an Environmental and Social

Management Action Plan (ESMAP) outlining suitable mitigation measures to be adopted by the relevant

implementing actions associated with the present project.

19. Based on the Environmental and Social Screening carried out as part of this due diligence exercise using the

screening matrix of the Environmental and Social Management Framework of NGRBA, the present project of

Interception and Diversion and STP iﾐ “ahaヴaﾐpuヴ, falls uﾐdeヴけLow IﾏpaItげ Iategoヴy. Project requires purchase of

7.81 ha. of private land, however does not envisage any displacement of landowners. Project follows Uttar Pradesh

Negotiation (Mutual Consent) Policy, 2015 to purchase the required land. This project has an overall positive impact

by tapping the wastewater and preventing its flow into the river Ganga.

BASELINE ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL FEATURES OF SAHARANPUR

20. The baseline information forms the basis to analyze the probable impacts of the proposed project vis-à-vis

the present background environmental and social quality of the study area. The baseline information of existing

environmental quality and social features related to the physio-chemical aspects, ecological aspects, socio-

economic and cultural aspects of the project area has been collected and collated from various secondary sources

and from available literature. The information on the baseline environmental and social conditions were gathered

through primary surveys at strategic locations considering various project components like laying of sewer line,

construction of IPS, STP etc.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACTS AND THEIR MITIGATION MEASURES

21. The project envisages few environmental and social impacts that can be mitigated with proper

implementation of safeguard measures. For establishing various proposed project components (i.e. one STP – 85

MLD, 9 Pumping Stations, Staff quarters, etc.) about 8.22 hectare of land is required. Out of the total land

requirement, about 0.41 hectare of government land is available for 7 IPS locations. However, government land is

not available for remaining 2 IPS and the proposed STP and about 7.81 hectare of land will be required. In this

regard, Jal Nigam, Saharanpur is acquiring the private land in accordance with the UP Negotiation (Mutual Consent)

Policy, 2015. The purchase of private land affects 75 landowners. Project authorities have consulted the affected

landowners and obtained requisite consent.

22. The project is expected to benefit the Saharanpur city, as the wastewater that currently flows untreated

into the Dhamola and Pandhoi Rivers and finally to the River Ganga will be captured, treated and the remainder of

the treated effluent will be allowed to flow into the river.

INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENT FOR IMPLEMENTING ESDDR

23. In general, the Uttar Pradesh Jal Nigam (UPJN), Saharanpur (with assistance from Concessionaire and

Independent Engineer / Supervision Consultant) is the responsible entity for ensuring the implementation of

mitigation measures as suggested in the ESDDR.

COST ESTIMATE

24. Indicative cost estimated for proposed sewerage scheme in Saharanpur city is Rs.547.86 crore

(429.41+118.45 O&M Cost) including Environmental and Social Management Action Plan (ESMAP), public awareness

and Environmental Monitoring for construction and operation phases has been worked out as Rs. 0.48 crore and the

cost of land purchase is estimated as 30 crore.

IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE

25. It is anticipated that entire work will be completed within 24 months from the date of start. The contract

for implementing the Sewerage and STP Scheme at Saharanpur is based on Hybrid Annuity Model.

AGENCY RESPONSIBLE FOR EXECUTION AND O&M WORKS

26. Agency responsible for execution and O&M works is U.P. Jal Nigam, Saharanpur Zone which is headed by

the Chief Engineer, U.P. Jal Nigam, Saharanpur and assisted by the Project Manager, Urban Works Unit-II, U.P. Jal

Nigam, Saharanpur.

1. INTRODUCTION

1. River Ganga, along with her many tributaries, has been the source of physical and spiritual sustenance of

Indian civilization for millennia, and consequently, her well-being is of prime national concern. It is the largest river

basin in India in terms of catchment area aﾐd Ioﾐstitutes alﾏost ヲヶ peヴIeﾐt of the Iouﾐtヴyげs laﾐd ﾏass, ﾐeaヴ aHout ンヰ peヴIeﾐt of Iouﾐtヴyげs ┘ateヴヴesouヴIes aﾐd suppoヴts ﾏoヴe thaﾐヴヰ peヴIeﾐt of Iouﾐtヴyげs populatioﾐ6

. The delta of

the Ganga basin is one of the largest in the world, which is known by Sundarbans. It is the 20th

longest river in Asia.

Drainage of the River traverses through 11 states of the country (Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Bihar,

West Bengal, Uttarakhand, Jharkhand, Haryana, Chhattisgarh, Himachal Pradesh and Delhi), where largely covered

states are Uttar Pradesh (28.02%), Bihar (10.86%), West Bengal (8.3%), Uttarakhand (6.15 %) and Jharkhand

(5.85%). In addition to the physical resource value, the economic, environmental and cultural value of river Ganga is

enormous iﾐ Iﾐdia. The Gaﾐga also seヴ┗es as oﾐe of Iﾐdiaげs holiest ヴi┗eヴs ┘hose Iultuヴal aﾐd spiヴitual sigﾐifiIaﾐIe is widely known.

2. Despite this iconic status and religious heritage, the Ganga River today is facing formidable pollution

pressures, along with the attendant threats to its biodiversity and environmental sustainability. An ever-growing

population, together with inadequately planned urbanization and industrialization, has affected the quality of the

ヴi┗eヴげs ┘ateヴs. Today, the Gaﾐgaげs ┘ateヴs aヴe sullied Hy the incessant outpouring of sewage, as well as by the large

┗oluﾏes of solid aﾐd iﾐdustヴial ┘aste that aヴe Ihuヴﾐed out Hy huﾏaﾐ aﾐd eIoﾐoﾏiI aIti┗ity aloﾐg the ヴi┗eヴげs Haﾐks. According to the reports, the main causes of extreme pollution pressures in river Ganga includes (i) inadequacy of

municipal wastewater infrastructure and services, (ii) inadequacy of industrial effluent management, (iii) solid waste

and non-point pollution sources, and (iv) inadequate in-stream flows.

3. The World Bank recognizes that the pollution in River Ganga is primarily a result of inadequate

infrastructure, the weak capacity of local water and wastewater utilities in the basin, and the poor state of

environmental monitoring and regulation. The Government of India (GoI) has received loan assistance from the

World Bank for the Mission Clean Ganga related activities under NGRBA Program (later which is included as one of

the component of the Namami Gange Programme) at the level of institutional development, operational and

implementation support and in four sectors, namely, wastewater collection and treatment, industrial pollution

control, solid waste management and riverfront development.

4. At the Central level, the National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG) registered as a society on 12th

7. The Go┗eヴﾐﾏeﾐt of Iﾐdia has lauﾐIhed さNaﾏaﾏi Gaﾐgeざ as aﾐ Iﾐtegヴated Coﾐseヴ┗ati┗e Missioﾐ Programme in the year 2014. The Namami Gange programme is an umbrella programme which covers the

previously sanctioned ongoing projects as well as the projects in new components with multi sector mandate to

address both water quality and water quantity issues. The programme aims at integrating previous and currently

ongoing initiatives by enhancing efficiency, extracting synergies and supplementing them with more comprehensive

and better coordinated interventions. Namami Gange Programme has been segregated into two different

components:

► Component A: Pertains to ongoing projects of cleaning of river Ganga & its tributaries, including World Bank

Assisted NGRBA programme having remaining central liabilities.

► Component B: Pertains to new initiatives to be undertaken in 5 major sectors i.e. Infrastructure Development

(Sewage Treatment, River Front Development, and Industrial Wastewater Treatment & Solid Waste

Management), Institutional Development, Ecological Sustainability, Research & Development and

Communication & Public Outreach.

8. The Namami Gange Programme will be implemented in the Ganga Basin in India. The overall technical

assistance and program development under the proposed project will focus on the entire Ganga Basin; however

specific sub-project investments under this project will focus on critical stretches of six basin states of Uttarakhand,

Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal and Madhya Pradesh in India.

9. A comprehensive, basin-level, and multi-sectoral approach has been adopted, with support for investments

in wastewater, solid waste and river front management, industrial effluent management, address non-point source

of pollution and maintaining ecological flows and assessment of biodiversity and afforestation and public

participation. The portfolio of investments under the NGRBA program includes the following:

► Sewerage and sanitation systems/sewage treatment plants (new/up gradation)

► Solid Waste Management

► Industrial Pollution Control Initiatives

► River front Management initiatives

2. PROJECT DE“CRIPTION

2.1 CITY PROFILE

11. The Saharanpur city is situated close to the borders of the States of Haryana and Uttarakhand and is

located about 550 km. from the capital city of Lucknow, 164 km from Delhi and 70 km from Dehradun, the capital of

the State of Uttarakhand. It is a place of historical, cultural and administrative importance since the time

immemorial.

12. The city is governed by Municipal Corporation in Saharanpur district of Uttar Pradesh, India. The sub-

project area falls in Saharanpur tehsil of Saharanpur district. The project tehsil exists with Saharanpur Municipal

Corporation and Malhipur, Kailashpur, Gagalhedi Must. Census towns and adjoining 128 villages.

13. The municipal corporation of Saharanpur (as of 2011) is 46.74 Km2 and the other census town covering

6.29Km2. The entire Saharanpur district is divided into 5 tehsils namely Saharanpur, Behat, Nakur, Deoband and

Rampur Maniharan. According to the 2011 census, Saharanpur city (Municipal Corporation) has a population of

705,478 and the No. of Households is 129,856.

14. Saharanpur district is one of the prosperous and a great exporting district in Uttar Pradesh due to its,

improved agriculture and sound industrial base and increases the volume of commerce. The food grains of the

export items from the district are wheat, oil-seeds, sugar and forest products etc. Woodwork industry is more

famous in the decoration by wood carving, of the door, doorways and carving consists of light floral designs such as

lotus, rose, tress and fruits etc. There are several large scale industries located in Saharanpur which includes Paper

mill, dairy, textiles and Sugar Mill etc.

15. The city plays a major role in contribution towards overall economic development of the region. By road,

Saharanpur city is well-connected to major cities like Delhi, Noida, Faridabad, Ghaziabad, Haridwar and other cities.

2.2 EXISTING SCENARIO OF SEWERAGE FACILITIES IN SAHARANPUR CITY

16. Sewerage system in Saharanpur was partially developed and mainly interception and diversion and STP

works were provided in the city under Yamuna Action Plan-1 in the year 1998. The total length of sewerage network

in Saharanpur Nagar Nigam is about 111km. out of which 27.37km. is trunk sewer and 84.15km is branch sewers.

There are 3 Intermediate Pumping Stations (IPS) and 1 Main Pumping Station (MPS). The Intermediate Pumping

Stations (IPS) pumps the sewage to Main Pumping Station (MPS) and from there; it is pumped to sewage form at

treatment plant located at Praduman Nagar STP.

17. Presently, in Saharanpur city one Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) of 38 MLD located at Praduman Nagar is

maintained by the Saharanpur Nagar Nigam through Uttar Pradesh Jal Nigam (UPJN).

27. Saharanpur city does not have a proper sewerage system and all houses have individual septic tanks that

discharge in to open drains causing pollution. Individual septic tanks are not properly maintained in the city and are

major source of pollution. Hence, it is of utmost importance to develop proper septate management in Saharanpur

city.

system to divert the flow to the STP of 38 MLD at Praduman Nagar through 3 numbers of Intermediate Pumping

Stations (IPS). The details of these drains are summarized as under:

Table 2-3: Details of existing drains in Saharanpur

Source: Detail Project Report for I&D & STP Works in Saharanpur City under Namami Gange Program, 2019.

2.3 NECESSITY OF THIS PROJECT

20. Saharanpur city unlike other Indian cities does not have a centralized sewer system for collection,

transportation, treatment and disposal of domestic and institutional wastewater. Due to tremendous population

growth and increased areas of habitation, different sections of existing sewers network are partially and/or fully

chocked, carries reduced flow and the STPs are not receiving designed flow.

21. As per DPR, the water requirement for the city in the year 2020 is 112.48 MLD, if considered for the year

2023 the estimated water requirement will be as 118.22 MLD. The sewage generation in 2023 is considered as 80%

of total water supplied (according to the DPR) which works out 108 lpcd, therefore the estimated sewage

generation in the year 2023 will be 95 MLD. (existing STP is 38 MLD and proposed STP is for 85 MLD, total 123 MLD

of Sewerage Treatment capacities will be available in 2023).

22. The untreated sewerage disposal is a critical area; most of the wastewater of town and from un-sewered

areas is discharged directly into the drains creating unhygienic environment. The census data on decadal population

of Saharanpur (Municipal Corporation) City since year 1991 and up to 2023 is presented in Figure 2-3.

23. Likewise, the effluents of industries, effluent of different slaughter houses are also discharged directly into

the drains without any treatment. In order to reduce pollution load of major drains of Saharanpur, the existing

sewerage network necessities renovation and strengthening, so that the wastewater would be treated before its

discharge to Pandhoi and Dhamola rivers, which finally joins with the Ganga River at downstream near Kannauj

district of Uttar Pradesh.

2.4 DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT ACTIVITIES

24. The proposed project involves strengthening of existing sewerage infrastructure of the Saharanpur district

by intercepting and diverting the wastewater flowing through proposed 9 IPS to newly proposed sewage treatment

plant of capacity 85 MLD to treat the wastewater before its discharge to Pandhoi and Dhamola rivers, which finally

joins with the Ganga River at downstream. Figure 2.4 (I&D alignment) and 2.5 (with land use) shows the location

map of existing and proposed STPs and IPS locations.

25. As per the DPR, the ﾏajoヴ Ioﾏpoﾐeﾐts of the pヴoposed さIﾐteヴIeptioﾐ & Di┗eヴsioﾐ ┘ith “TP Scheme at

Saharanpur Uttar Pradesh under Namami Gange Program includes:

► Interception & Diversion structures (9 Nos.)

► Raising main and I&D network.

► New MPS (1 No.)

► Construction of new Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) of capacity 85 MLD.

► Operation & maintenance (O&M) for 15 years.

► Installation of trash arresting rack and its regular O&M at the mouth of all drains.

► Adequate provision for handling septage in the STP.

26. As per DPR, it is proposed to repair and renovate the existing I&D and STP to utilize its full design capacity

of 38 MLD. Further proposed to commission Interception & Diversion works of the drains remaining (including

some of already tapped under YAP-1) and construction of additional IPS, MPS and STP to cater for the complete

projected drain discharge.

27. The proposed Interception and Diversion for each Nala in different stretch of River Pandhoi and Dhamola is

discussed in the following tables below.

Table 2-4: Details of Proposed I&D Schemes in Saharanpur

28. The proposed I&D System with STP in Saharanpur will not impact trees and any natural environment

(except for few bushes), since the sewers are planned to be laid along the road or center of the road where ROW is

not sufficient. Probable impact in terms of increase in the dust level while excavating the land material, cutting and

back filling may be seen. There may be temporary impacts like a minor inconvenience to the people to access their

29. During the assessment of project sites of I & D scheme, the vicinity of the sub-project component area is

mostly built up and agricultural area, and envisaged that the impacts associated with I&D alignment are temporary

during the construction stage, no tree cutting is envisaged. Construction of 85 MLD STP at village Badshahpur near

Dhamola River attracts Private Land purchase of 7.8083 ha. This will be purchased through UP Negotiation (Mutual

Consent) Policy, 2015. 75 landowners are getting impacted due to land purchase and there is no displacement of

households from the acquiring land, hence the overall impact category falls in low category. However, necessary

care shall be taken by the potential Concessionaire / Concessionaire to avoid disturbance to neighborhood area

under supervision of concerned authority of UPJN, Saharanpur Zone. In order to address the E&S issues, site

specific EMP has to be prepared by the Concessionaire and get it approved from competent authority of UPJN.

30. According to the DPR, It is proposed to provide new STP with capacity of 85 MLD is based on population

projection over a period of time internal sewers in the city shall be laid and discharge in drains shall decrease

consequently; the estimated sewage generation in the year 2035 is 119 MLD. Existing capacity of STP is 38 MLD and

required further STP with 81 MLD, hence the proposed STP has been considered for the capacity of 85 MLD. The

contract for implementing the Sewerage and STP Scheme at Saharanpur is based on Hybrid Annuity Model. It is

anticipated that entire work will be completed within 24 months from the date of start.

31. The key objective of the proposed project is to prevent untreated wastewater by intercepting and diverting

it to the newly proposed STP of capacity 85 MLD before its discharge to Dhamola and Pandhoi rivers in Saharanpur

city, and also to achieve the sewage effluent standards as prescribed by the CPCB, MoEF&CC, Government of India,

and recommended by the CPHEEO in its latest manual and by the NGT vide its order dated 30th April 2019.

33. The treated wastewater of STP will be preferably reused for agriculture & industrial purposes and is being

discharged into the River Dhamola. The other alternative measure to reuse the water shall be explored.




2.6 SLUDGE STORAGE AND DISPOSAL

34. The dewatered sludge shall be disposed of suitably at identified landfill site and will be used as manure

(after necessary laboratory analysis of biological and chemical testing including heavy metal contamination), if

found suitable shall be distributed/handed over to the local farmers for horticulture/agriculture purposes. In case, if

the laboratory analysis are not found within the suitable range for usage in horticulture purpose, shall be disposed

in the adequate land fill site authorized by Municipal Corporation and Jal Nigam. The location identified for the

sludge disposal is at Maheshwari Khurd and Ghunna on Saharanpur Behat Road which is located away from the

habitation and nearby water bodies. The landfill site was identified by the Municipal Corporation and for entire

Saharanpur area. At present from the existing STP, the sludge is disposed in the same landfill site at Maheshwari

Khurd and most of the sludge is being used for agriculture/horticulture purposes. The MoU between Saharanpur

Municipal Corporation and Jal Nigam, Saharanpur Division on sludge disposal and storage is attached as an

Annexure 4.2.

35. Appropriate Sludge Management Plan shall be prepared by the Concessionaire. Suitable site for disposal

3. APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY

3.1 METHODOLOGY

38. The Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF of NGRBA, 2011)7 is intended to identify and

assess several environment and social impacts (both positive and negative) that may result for the proposed river

pollution mitigation project of Dhamola River at Saharanpur, under NGRBP, as well as to provide a corresponding

management plan to handle any adverse/negative impacts. The methodology adopted for conducting

Environmental and Social Due Diligence for the proposed interventions is given in Figure 3-1 below.

Figure 3-1: Flowchart describing steps adopted for ESDDR preparation

39. The Environmental and Social Due Diligence Report (ESDDR) has been prepared by LEA Associates South

Asia Private Limited, New Delhi, on the basis of Detailed Project Report that has been prepared by UP Jal Nigam.

3.2 REVIEW OF AVAILABLE DOCUMENTS AND DATA COLLATION

40. Review of available documents and collating information from various documents to assess the possible

environmental and social impacts of the proposed project. All the available information and data (quantitative,

qualitative) regarding the proposed project has been collected mainly from the Detailed Project Report (DPR),

7 For the Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) document please refer





consultation with stake-holders and other secondary sources including the water/air/noise monitoring data of UP

Pollution Control Board, UP Jal Nigam and from the reports of tests conducted at site.

3.3 DESCRIBING THE SUB-PROJECT ACTIVITIES

41. With the help of information and data received mainly from the Detailed Project Report (DPR) and

consultations with stake-holders, a brief description and analysis of the project activities has been established.

Based on initial understanding, the list of required information has been drafted before conducting the field survey.

3.4 DISCUSSION WITH THE KEY STAKEHOLDERS

42. The key stakeholders including the UP Jal Nigam, Saharanpur were interacted (both formally and

informally) during the field visits while preparing the ESDDR. Associated government departments were visited to

collect the relevant data and their feedback on the proposed project activities. Also they were asked about the

mitigation plans they have adopted or are planning to adopt, suggestions for improvement and any public

grievances.

3.5 BASELINE ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL PROFILE OF PROJECT AREA

43. With the help of secondary information/data received from the available documents and from the

discussions/interactions with key stakeholders and host population, a brief description of the baseline

environmental and social profile of the project area has been established.

3.6 SCREENING ACTIVITIES

44. The project screening has also been carried out to understand the nature, scale and magnitude of potential

environmental and social impacts associated with the proposed project. The screening activities have been

conducted as per the guidelines provided in Environmental and Social Management Framework of NGRBA (NGRBA,

2011) and on the basis of secondary data analysis, field assessments and stakeholder interactions/consultations.

45. The screening checklist included criteria that detailed out the impact level of various activities during the

construction and operation phases. The criteria included environmental factors such as the presence of eco-

sensitive region in and around the project area, clearance of tree cover, improper storage of excavation spoils,

flooding of adjacent areas, elevated noise and dust levels, damage to existing utilities, etc. Social criteria included

factors such as requirement of land purchase, displacement of tribes, loss of livelihood and gender issues.

3.7 IDENTIFICATION AND ASSESSMENT OF IMPACTS

46. Based on the analysis of the data collected from field surveys, stakeholder interactions/ consultations and

secondary sources, issues related to the environmental and social sectors were identified. The impacts so identified

were compared with the existing baseline environmental and social condition of the study region. The impacts of

the activities are mostly positive with few adverse impacts.

3.8 DEVELOPING MANAGEMENT ACTION PLAN

47. Based on the identified and assessed potential environmental and social impacts, an appropriate mitigation

/ management action plan has been developed recommending suitable measures needed to prevent, minimize,

mitigate, or compensate for adverse impacts (if any) and to improve the environmental and social performance.

The mitigation plans is suggested for different stages of the project, as applicable: designing phase, construction

phase and, operation and maintenance phase.

4. ENVIRONMENTAL AND “OCIAL PROFILE OF PROJECT AREA

49. This section briefly describes the baseline environmental and social profile of the study area. Saharanpur

city is the head quarter of Saharanpur District. The project city is situated on the upper doab region and the land

lying between two converging or confluent Rivers Yamuna and Ganga and is located at about 170 km. from Delhi,

capital city of India and 68 km. from south west of Dehradun. The city grew in a region named after a Sufi Saint

Shah Haroon Chishti.

50. The project tehsil exists with Saharanpur Municipal Corporation and Malhipur, Kailashpur, Gagalhedi Must,

Census towns and adjoining 128 villages. The project location adjoins 128 villages/settlements with a population of

6.38 lakh and the population of the city and other census towns is 7.31 lakh as per census 2011.

4.1 PHYSIOGRAPHY

51. The project area lies between latitude 290 ヰヰげ aﾐd ンヰ0

ヲヴげﾐoヴth aﾐd loﾐgitude ΑΑ0 Αヰげ aﾐd ΑΒ0

ヱヲげ east iﾐ the upper Ganga doab

8. Geographically, the city is located in western region of Gangetic plain in the State of Uttar

Pradesh. The state has classified into three distinct regions; the northern sub-mountain region called Tarai, the

Gangetic Plains and the Southern Plateau. Additionally for the purpose of development planning, Bundelkhand

region is separated from Southern Plateau. Saharanpur city is located in north western Gangetic plains and Tarai,

Bhahbar zones of Uttar Pradesh in India. The area is almost flat alluvial plain with gentle slope from north to south

direction.

4.2 SEISMICITY

52. As per the seismic

hazard map of India,

Saharanpur falls in Seismically

Active zone IV (Severe

Intensity Zone9). In

consideration of this, due

measures have been

incorporated in designing of

water / waste-water retaining

structures considering the

earthquake load for seismic

zone V. (viz. Sewage Lifting

Station or Sewage Treatment

Plants, as per provision of the

Code).

8 Doab is a term used in South Asia for the "tongue," or tract of land lying between two converging, or confluent, rivers. It is

similar to an interfluve. 9 Ministry of Earth Sciences, Govt. of India published in 2017 for the earthquake-prone State/area in the country based on BIS [IS-1893

(part1):2002, grouped the country into four seismic zones i.e Zone –II to Zone V; of these, Zone five is most seismically active zone while zone II is

least active zone. Zone IV covers parts of Jammu & Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh, Union Territory of Delhi, Sikkim, northern parts of Uttar

Pradesh, Bihar and West Bengal, parts of Gujarat and small portions of Maharashtra near the west coast and Rajasthan.

4.3 CLIMATE AND WEATHER

53. The project area has climate variations of extreme conditions, exceptionally hot in summer and extremely

cold in winters. The temperature reaches up to 45oC in certain places of the project region, in winters it falls up to

6.6oC. The annual average

temperature is 23.30C. During the

summer season (from April to June),

hot winds blow in the region.

Summers last from early April to

late June and are extremely hot. The

average annual temperature is

24.7°C in Saharanpur.

54. Saharanpur has a monsoon

influenced sub-tropical climate due

to its proximity to the Himalayan

region. The annual average

precipitation received in the city is

1204 mm. As per IMD data, the

rainfall of the last 5 years (Figure 4-

2) displays that the month of July

has recorded the maximum annual rainfall during the year.

4.4 AIR ENVIRONMENT

55. Figure 4-3 shows the

graphic representation of Ambient

Air Quality data being recorded by

the Uttar Pradesh State Pollution

Control Board (UPPCB) in year

2019, the monitoring stations

located at Clock tower and near IIT

of Saharanpur city. The

concentration of PM10 varies from

68.37 µg/m3 to 248.79 µg/m

during the year January, October

and November the concentration

levels of PM10 values are much

higher than the National Ambient

Air Quality standard of 100 µg/m3.

The concentration of SO2 and NO2

is within the CPCB standard.

56. The monitoring stations of a Clock tower and near IIT, Saharanpur are situated in the northern and eastern

side of the city. The monitored PM10 levels published by SPCB show the higher values due to anthropogenic

activities near Clock tower and near IIT Saharanpur. This monitoring location of SPCB is located in the market area

and nearby Saharanpur Railway junction.

57. The higher level of ambient air quality considering the proposed project site forms the baseline information

(Secondary Source). The city has various sources of air pollution in the region such as dust rising from unpaved

roads, domestic fuel burning, vehicular traffic, agricultural and industrial activities essentially due to paper mills and

textile industries etc., resulting into severe health hazards and respiratory problems in the city. It was assessed

during the site visit and according to the discussions with the official of Jal Nigam, Saharanpur Division that I&D

alignment will be placed along the road within the available land width and also placed at the center of the road

where the RoW is restricted. Hence, there will not be any major impact due to laying of I&D structure in the city,

only minimal/temporary impacts such as temporary inconveniences to the local community and traffic congestion

are envisaged.

58. The prime objective of baseline air quality monitoring is to assess existing air quality of the area. This will

also be useful in assessing the conformity to standards of the ambient air quality during the construction and

operation phases. Proper safeguard measures to be followed according to the recommendations provided in the

report under Section 8 and site specific EMP to be prepared after analysing the local situation and to be followed

suitable mitigation measures to address any such anticipated issue.

59. Ambient air quality monitoring at the proposed project location was carried out from 13th

January 2020 to

18th January 2020 to assess the ambient air quality. Major air pollutants viz. Particulate Matter (PM2.5 & PM10),

Sulphur Dioxide (SO2), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), and Carbon Monoxide (CO) representing the basic air quality in the

proposed project were identified for Ambient Air Quality Monitoring (AAQM). The results of ambient air quality

monitoring carried out at the proposed project location are given in Table 4-1 below:

60. Ambient Air Quality Monitoring reveals that the concentrations of PM2.5 and PM10 are lower than the

National Ambient Air Quality standard of 60 µg/m3 and 100 µg/m3 respectively. The gaseous pollutants SO2, NO2,

CO are concerned, the concentrations were found within the prescribed limit of CPCB. Detailed Air Monitoring Lab

reports are attached as Annexure-3. The standards of Ambient Air Quality in India are available online at

http://cpcbenvis.nic.in.

4.5 WATER ENVIRONMENT

61. The project area has a principle river Yamuna and Pandhoi and Dhamola are tributaries of Yamuna River.

These tributaries are non-perennial in nature. The River Dhamola is a tributary of Hindon River which is the tributary

of Yamuna, flowing during the monsoon season. It originates in Saharanpur districts (Uttar Pradesh), from upper

Shivalik in lower Himalayan Range. The Hindon River receives considerable amount of wastewater every day from

the industries and municipal area of Saharanpur city and it discharged in river Hindon through rivers of Pandhoi and

Dhamola, which leads to deterioration of water quality.

62. As per information available from Central Ground Water Authority, the Saharanpur city falls under

overexploited zone. The level of ground water ranges from 10-20 meter below ground level (mbgl).

http://cpcbenvis.nic.in/




4.6 WATER QUALITY

63. The organic parameters of BOD have been studied for River Hindon downstream station at Saharanpur.

Consecutively two years data have been studied for the assessment. All the secondary data have been sourced from

the website of Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board, Lucknow. As per the available data from SPCB for the year

2018 and 2019, an illustrative record of the water quality record has been shown in the below in figures. The

concentration of BOD data for consecutive two years shows concentration much higher than what is permissible for

various uses, i.e. 30mg/l. The Total coliform and DO values have not been recorded/not available in the website of

Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board.

64. The sampling was done both for surface water and underground water. The samples were taken from the

identified monitoring locations around the proposed project area. Total of 3 samples were taken, 2 samples for

surface water at both the Upstream & Downstream of Dhamola River near STP Site, Saharanpur and 1 sample for

ground water from the STP located at Tarapur, Saharanpur. The water quality analysis results are given in Table 4-2,

65. A review of the above chemical analysis reveals that there is some variation in chemical composition of

surface water samples collected from upstream and downstream of Dhamola River but the ground water collected

from the existing STP located at Tarapur remains suitable for drinking purposes as all the constituents are within the

limits prescribed for drinking water standards promulgated by Indian Standards (IS: 10500). This high concentration

of BOD in water samples collected from Dhamola River possibly due to the discharge of untreated waste water from

the households and various industries particularly sugar and paper mill industries exist in nearby. Water Quality

data is attached as Annexure-3 and Indian standard Drinking water Specification, IS 10500:2012 for water quality is

available online at http://cgwb.gov.in/Documents/WQ-standards.pdf.

4.7 BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT

66. The Botanical Garden (named it as Company Garden) located in center of the Saharanpur city and it is

considered second only to the Kolkata Botanical Garden in terms of contributing research and science and the study

of flora and fauna. It is one of the oldest existing gardens in India and dates back to before 1750. In 1817, it was

acquired by the British East India Company and placed under the authority of the District Surgeon.

67. A research study explains on botanical garden under the Botanical survey of India that there are 235

dendroid species including 173 trees, 59 shrubs and 3 species of climbers are exists. The dominant species in this

garden are Sterculia alata, Sweteinia mahogni, Tectona grandis, Shorea robusta, Bischofia javanica, Albizia sp., Ficus

spp. Acacia sp. etc. Some species like Haematoxylon campechianum, Drypetes sepiarea, Sterculia acerifolia,

Santalum album, Dillenia indica, Encephalortos humulis, Taxodium macronatum etc are represented by one or two

specimen.




68. The woody climber species is endemic to Saharanpur. Many of the exotic species were introduced during

last few centuries for commercial, experimental and ornamental exploitations. Few fine specimen of this plant along

with other exotics can be seen in the Garden which needs proper conservation and protection Thuja sp, Juniperus

sp., Cycas spp, Agathis sp., Pinus sp., Encephalortos sp., Taxodium sp., Araucaria sp., etc are some of the

gymnospermic representatives in this garden.

4.8 NOISE ENVIRONMENT

69. The environmental impact of noise can have several effects varying from annoyance to hearing loss

depending on loudness of noise levels. The main objective of the noise level monitoring is to assess the background

noise levels in different zones viz. industrial, commercial, residential, and silence zones within the vicinity of the

project site.

70. Ambient noise levels were measured around the proposed project site. The noise levels recorded during

the day and night time respectively. The noise levels near the residential area of the proposed project location were

found within the prescribed limits. However, in commercial areas (i.e. near Swapna Theatre and Shantinagar) it was

above the prescribed standards of noise quality during the day time. Noise Quality data attached as Annexure-3 and

Ambient Air Quality Standards in respect of Noise is available online at http://cpcbenvis.nic.in.

Table 4-5: Noise level in project area: STP site Residential area

Table 4-6: Noise level in project area: Commercial Areas

4.9 SOIL ENVIRONMENT

71. Assessment of soil quality is an important aspect with reference to tree plantations, percolation of water,

ground water impact etc. The information on soils has been collected from various secondary sources and also

through primary soil sampling analysis of which is described in this section.

72. Randomly a soil sample was collected from proposed STP site near Tarapur, up to depth of 15 cm and then

sent to the laboratory for analyzing various physical and chemical characteristics of the soil of the project location.

The analysis result show that soil is basic in nature as pH value is 7.34 with organic matter 1.11%. The concentration

of Nitrogen (878.90 Kg/Ha), Phosphorus (65.5 Kg/Ha) and Potassium (122.3 Kg/Ha) has been found to be in good

amount in the soil samples. Soil texture is Sandy to Clay Loam. Soil Quality data is attached as Annexure-3.

5.9 ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT


screening matrix of the Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF of NGRBA, 2011)12

, the present






project of I&D and STP scheme in Saharanpur have minimal temporary impacts and falls uﾐdeヴけlow IﾏpaItげ Iategoヴy

(please refer Annexure-1 for the screening checklist). The major outcomes of the screening are given under:

► The proposed project for establishing various project components (i.e. STP, Pumping Stations, Staff quarters, etc.)

is neither located in any eco-sensitive area nor in any adjoining eco-sensitive area.

► There are about 7.8083 ha of private land purchase envisaged in the project. The identified land for the proposed

project belongs to 75 landowners.

► The screening also reiterates that the project does not involve loss of livelihood.

► The project will not have any impact on the tribal population.

► The project components have limited environment and social impacts, which can be mitigated with the adoption

of suitable mitigation measures by way of project specific Environmental Management Plan (EMP).

5.10 ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL MANAGEMENT ACTION PLAN

99. The Environmental and Social Management Action Plan (ESMAP) has been prepared to provide information

about the potential environmental and social impacts, proposed mitigation measures towards minimizing the impacts

and responsible agencies for implementation and monitoring. This ESMAP will also be included in the bid documents

and will be further reviewed and updated during implementation. The ESMAP will be made binding on all

Concessionaires 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. The major components of

the ESMAP are provided in Annexure-5.

5.11 CONSTRUCTION & OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY

100. The Concessionaire who will be procured for the project on Hybrid Annuity Model, is liable to develop a

project specific EMP. The Concessionaire shall ensure that the following aspects are included and implemented on

construction stage wise.

5.12 IMPLEMENTATION ARRANGEMENT

101. State Mission for Clean Ganga-Uttar Pradesh (SMCG-UP) in an extended arm of National Mission for Clean

Ganga (NMCG) for the state of Uttar Pradesh and implementing the Namami Gange and other programmes through

various executing agencies. At state level it is implementing arm of State Ganga Committee constituted vide S.O. 3187

E dated 07th

October, 2016 under Environment protection act 1986. The Uttar Pradesh Jal Nigam (UPJN), Government

of Uttar Pradesh is functioning as the State Mission for Clean Ganga (SMCG) for the implementation of NBRGA

projects. The Uttar Pradesh Jal Nigam (UPJN), Saharanpur Zone which is headed by the Chief Engineer, U.P. Jal Nigam,

Ghaziabad and assisted by the Project Manager, U.P. Jal Nigam, Saharanpur; with assistance from Concessionaire and




Independent Engineer / Supervision Consultant is the responsible entity for ensuring the implementation of

mitigation measures as suggested in the ESMAP of the ESDDR.

5.13 GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM

102. Currently, NMCG has one GRM officer, who addresses all queries registered on the Centralized Public

Grievance Redress and Monitoring System (CP GRAM) portal of NMCG. The GRM officer is supported by one social

expert who helps to coordinate with all the state the SMCGs.

103. At SMCG level, reporting of grievances are being monitored by Environmental and Social experts. All

Executing Agencies have a GRM mechanism at each project site. The project manager and deputy project managers

are in-charge of these GRMs. To register grievances, a register has been kept at all project site offices and in some

sites sometime field team received grievances over mobile phones as well as on Whats App massages. The grievances

should be resolved by conducting monthly review meetings and if site team is unable to resolve the issue on its own,

the complaint/matter is brought up to Senior Management of EA.

104. ESDDR suggest establishing the similar grievance redress mechanism in Saharanpur site as well. Further, it is

also recommended to constitute a GRC in the PIU to record and redress public grievances. A dedicated team under

the supervision of the Project Engineer at UP Jal Nigam, Saharanpur could be appointed for recording the grievances.

The name and contact information of Grievance Redressal Officers (GROs) should be displayed at the

project/construction site, labour camps, in communities where construction work is taking place and in the websites

of ULB, EA and SMCG. Also, a toll free number should be generated and displayed in work sites for registering

grievances. A grievance reporting format is attached at Annexure-6.

5.14 GENDER ASSESSMENT, DEVELOPMENT

105. According to ESMF, the objective of Gender Assessment and Development is to analyse gender issues during

the preparation stage of sub projects, design interventions and primary data collection. The gender analysis shall be

carried out based on findings from gender specific queries and requirements during data collection and community

consultation process. The quantitative and qualitative analysis shall include sex disaggregated data, issues related to

gender disparity, needs, constraints, priorities and understanding of gender based inequitable risks, benefits and

opportunities as well as gender relevant indicators.

5.15 GENDER BASED VIOLENCE (GBV)

28. GBV is aﾐ uﾏHヴella teヴﾏ foヴ aﾐy haヴﾏful aIt that is peヴpetヴated agaiﾐst a peヴsoﾐげs ┘ill aﾐd that is Hased oﾐ socially ascribed gender differences. GBV includes acts that inflict physical, mental, sexual harm or suffering; threats

of such acts; and coercion and other deprivations of liberty, whether occurring in public or in private life. The project

site includes both the actual locations where civil works are conducted and also the associated areas such as the

loIatioﾐs of ┘oヴkeヴsげ Iaﾏps, ケuaヴヴies, etI. These GBV ヴisks ﾐeed to He assessed thヴoughout the pヴojeItげs life Hy monitoring the situation, assessing the effectiveness of risk mitigation measures, and adapting them.

29. Since a sub project involves construction work that will demand a constant supply of labourers, the influx of

migrant workforce can be a potential risk for the host population. The influx of labour force can lead to the risk of

Gender-Based Violence.

106. ESDDR in ESMAP suggests key actions and responsibilities of project partners. The interventions will be at

three levels, that of SPMG, EA and of the Contractor. According to guidelines of ESMAP on GBV prevention has been

prepared clearly defining the roles and responsibilities at all levels. Robust measures shall be prepared and

implemented to address the risk of gender based violence in the project and adjoining communities.




5.16 INTEGRATION OF ESMAP WITH PROJECT

107. To ensure the implementation of safeguard measures by the Concessionaire, the ESMAP including the

preparation of project specific detailed ESAMP and necessary recommendation of ESSDDR will be included in the bid

document. The ESMAP clearly outlines the responsibility for various safeguard management actions associated with

the project activities related to Labour Management, Assessment of Gender Based Violence and Grievance Redress

Mechanism to ensure compliance of the same by follwing the safeguard requirements of the ESMF.
