Objections to the Granting of CDM status to the Phata-Byung Hydroelectric Project

After reading the Project Design Document (PDD) dated 09.08.2010 (version 1 as available on the UNFCC website) for the Phata- Byung Hydro Electric Project, we believe that the project should not be granted CDM for the following reasons:

I- UTARAKHAND- A STATE OF DAMS

The Phata- Byung project is on the river Mandakini. There are six other projects proposed and under implementation on the same river. The Phata- Byung project is being proposed by the Lanco Mandakini Hydro Energy Private Limited. With as many as 6 projects the natural flow of the river will be affected affected.

Across Indian the Lanco group has 8 operational projects. Out of these 2 use coal. They have 10 projects under construction and 5 out of these use coal. They have a further 5 projects under development and 2 use coal.

However while the Company shows in the PDD Alternative-2 (Page 10) that a BAU scenario is not viable due to the increased coal-based generation in the NEWNE grid of India, it continues to expand its Coal based power project in Chhatisgarh (part of NEWNE grid), India from 600 MW to 1920 MW (http://www.lancogroup.com/power/Power.html). This expansion will also add to the increased coal-based generation in NEWNE which is contradiction to their statement about avoiding coal based projects in the NEWNE grid.

II- PROBLEMS

SOCIAL PROBLEMS

1. The project developer (Lanco Mandakini Hydro Energy Private Limited) has not done any satisfactory consultation with the people in the affected villages. The local people have not been given any of the project documents like the detailed project report, or the full environment impact assessment or environment management plan in the language that they can understand. Nor have the people been told about the adverse impacts of such projects through a credible process. This is clear violation of the rights of the people and also violation of the CDM norms for consultation of the stakeholders and the local people. The claim made by the proponents in the CDM PDD in this regard is wrong.

2. The Ganga River is an essential part of the daily lives and culture of this place and its people. The continuous dam-ing of the rivers of this area has led to the destruction of their unque culture. The PDD makes no mention about loss of cultural identify and how they would seek to address this critical concern.

3. The unemployed of the region rely on fishing for their daily income. This has been taken away from them with no scope of compensation.

4. Locals are being employed to fell the trees in their own forests. The company has started pitting brothers against brothers. They have been able to buy some people over to their side and this has led to disharmony in the otherwise, harmonious mountain state.

5. The villages of Tarsari, Badsu, Shursi which are located on top of the proposed tunnels all oppose the project. While the project claims that villages located over the tunnels will not be affected the on the ground situation shows that such villages are being affected in diverse ways.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS

The following are the major problems in the Phata- Byung project area:

1. The project was required to ensure no adverse impact on vegetation and livestock. (condition 6 of Forest Clearance date 16.1.2009 as in the annexure MEF study 0610.pdf) However, the dust and noise during the blasts has made the livestock flee. Many animals like Leopard, Fox, Jackal, Pheasant birds and other creatures are not seen in the region anymore. The loss of other biodiversity is also clearyly visible

2. Disposal of muck into the river is killing fishes. People depend on this water in many ways especially for feeding their livestock. There are buffaloes getting sick drinking this filthy water.

3. The dust from the blasts is covering plants, leading to death of plants and lower yield of crop.

4. Mountain groundwater is drying out due to piercing of aquifers5. There is deterioration of the water quality due to lack of contact with sun and

air6. Deterioration of air quality due to methane emissions7. Plan for biodiversity has not been prepared by the project proponent as yet.

This should have been formulated before the construction of the dam was started.

8. Increased landslides due to weakening of mountains. While dams are constructed to withstand earthquakes in this Zone 5 seismological classified area, increased damage to local population is not accounted for. The region jas a history of natural disasters including an earthquake in 1991 in which 75% of houses lost their roofs. In the 1999 Chamoli earthquake, several houses were destroyed by the tremors in this region. And in a 2001 landslide 14 people were killed in Phata and Byung

9. The company claims to want to restore the water sources in the mountain with high density forests. However, as the Vishnu Prayag Hydro Electric Project which is on Alaknanda River, experience shows, the loss of mountain aquifers makes this impossible and such statements are nothing but eyewash.

10. A project this size is bound to have serious impact from the blasting for the tunnels and diversion structure, addition of large number of outsiders to the area and the impacts thereof, the disposal of the muck created in the project activity, the laying of transmission lines & roads, noise and dust pollution during construction, increase of possibilities of soil erosion and land slides and so on.

III-IMPACT OF THE PHATA-BYUNG PROJECT TILL TODAY

1. PEOPLE’S AGITATION In 2008, women from the villages of Mandakini valley left their homes and hearth and joined a concerted agitation for six months to not let the dam works continue. Even today the people are fighting to have the dams and hydro projects shut down. The people’s anger is justified. The people were never told about the impacts of the dam and never heard of an Environmental Impact Assessment Report and Management scheme during the Public Hearing conducted in relation to the dam. These people are being called anti-development, yet they leave their own subsistence work unattended andface the wrath of the authorities and continue to protest against these big dams. The dams proposed on the Mandakini are all above 15m, which makes them large dams (as per International Commistion Of Larg Dams definitions). The government has been promising to ban large dams. Even the ex-Chief Minister even made a statement in Gopeshwar in January 2008 in the regard.

2. THERE IS NO DATA ON EMPLOYMENT CREATION BY DAMS There is no data available of employment creation by dams with the government or any other agency. But experience shows that dams have never positively affected local employment scenario. It more often than not destroys existing forms of livelihood. There is no mention of how much of livelihood displacement is actually taking places, how many families are losing their land and how many are losing their livelihood. Further the project does not gaurantee that the jobs will be given to people from the locally displaced and affected communities.

3. THE NON OBJECTION CERTIFICATE (NOC) FORM AFFECTED VILLAGES PROVE VIOLATION OF LAW

The NOC, received from villages, have all been typed out and the name of the village scribbled by hand later. These photocopied forms were then stamped by the village panchayat person, without a proper public debate in the village on the issue and mostly without the person with the stamp having any idea about the project. In many cases the Village Panchayat heads have been coerced, threatened, bribed or misguided into placing their signatures. Several objections have been susequently raised by the communities.

IV-PROCEDURAL VIOLATIONS

1. The Ministry of Environment and Forests sent a special commitee (CFF) to examine and assess the status of the Environment and Forest Clearance of Hydro Power projects on the river Mandakini especially the Phata- Byung Hydro Electric Project made the following observations in its report to the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF):

• Proper norms of felling were found missing (2.3 3rd para)• There is a chance of spillage of muck into the river (2.2 2nd para)• Muck disposal not done properly (2.3 3rd para)• Additional District Magistrate (ADM) informed that instructions have

been issued to do blasting at night (2.4 (i))

Page 4: Objections to the Granting of CDM status to the Phata ... · Objections to the Granting of CDM status to the Phata-Byung Hydroelectric Project After reading the Project Design Document

• Project Authority has not provided details of public hearing (3.2.1 page 12)

• Project did not provide details of bio-diversity plan but assumed compliance (3.2.1 Page 12)

• Plan for fisheries development not provided (3.2.1 Page 12)• No provision of environmental flows has been made (3.2.1 Page 12)• Status of R&R plan could not be ascertained in absence of report by

project authority (3.3.1 Page 17)• Weal arrangements for slope stabilization seen (3.3.1 Page 18 and

3.3.2)Points quoted in this report are available in the MEF study 0610.pdf appended as an annexure

2. Other violations:• The Developers have very cleverly supplanted the NOC given by the

village Pradhan (Village Head) as the resolution of Gram Sabha (Village Body). A Gram Sabha (or village meeting) usually involves discussion of a particular issue with the entire village who then take a consenses or unanimous decision. There has been no permission taken from the Gram Sabha.

• 300 kg/day of explosives is used in Phata-Bhyung project leading to cracks in houses in nearby villages like Ryadi. The explosives are used at night (and not in ‘exceptional circumtnaces’)with the connivance of District Administartion. This is a violation of Explosives Act again documented in the report by the specially appointed committee to review the Project Violations (See MEF study 0610.pdf)

• Developers are cutting down forests without appropriate permission from Van Panchayats (Village Forest Councils) and Gram Sabhas (Village Councils )).

V- COMMENTS ON THE PDD FOR PHATA BYUNG HYDRO ELECTRIC PROJECT (76 MW)

The Project Design Document (PDD) for Phata Byung Hydro Electric Project (76MW) was available on the website of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) at http://cdm.unfccc.int/UserManagement/FileStorage/5UYHT7VLKBNDSOWCE0Z6X3A8F9R2GJ.

1. DESTRUCTION OF MAIN OCCUPATION OF PEOPLE AND THEIR CULTURE- The Developer themselves admit that “The occupation of the majority people in the project vicinity is cultivation of rice, wheat, millet and pulses. The area is rich in ethnic and cultural diversity” (Page 3 of PDD ). The developers, however, fail to realise that the weakening of the mountains and its soil will put the residents in a precarious situation. The people may lose their only source of livelihood. The infrastructure would not matter when majority of the people will be left landless and unemployed. Also, how does improving living standards help protect their culture?

Page 5: Objections to the Granting of CDM status to the Phata ... · Objections to the Granting of CDM status to the Phata-Byung Hydroelectric Project After reading the Project Design Document

2. NO EMPLOYMENT AS MIGRANT WORKERS ARE LIKELY TO BE USED- The PDD says that “The project activity envisages sizable investment in the region which would ensure economic development of the local people.”(Page 3 of PDD ). This statement by the Developers is very vague, yet they are spending Rs. 5200 million on it. They argue that the project will generate only 600 jobs during construction period and only 60 during operation period. Since majority of the people are farmers and are not skilled workers are required on construction sites, this is unlikely to benefit the locals. If however, they do take up these jobs, what is to become of these 600 workers when the construction is over. As is evidenced in other projects the so called 60 permanent jobs will usually be offerred to highly skilled, educated and trained people thus exclduing most if not all of the people from the affected local communities. Also, the company on the one hand promises employment opportunities to the locals. On the other hand, it talks about immunizing migrant labour as they may carry diseases. “The migrant workers may be the potential carriers of diseases such as AIDS, VDS, Malaria, Gastroenteritis etc. The project authorities and contractors would ensure all the labourers and their family members get registered and quarantined, vaccinated against common ailments like malaria, T.B etc. The estimated cost for this is Rs 21.164 millions”( Page 38 of PDD ). In most of the other dams in the State all the workers are migrant labour. This suits the Developers as they are not forced to follow the Labour Laws of the State and there is no community pressure to abide by the law and have proper working conditions, which would have been the case in case locals were used.

3. NO BIO-DIVERSITY PLAN- While the report claims that “proper Biodiversity Management Plan and afforestation plans are proposed by the project proponent” (Page 38 of PDD ) and they claim it will cost Rs. 2.2255 million, the CFF report states that project proponents have not provided details of the biodiversity plan for the area. This biodiversity plan should have been made before the construction of the dam had begun.

4. PROJECT TO HAVE SERIOUS IMPACT ON ECOLOGY- While in the PDD it claims that “The project will avoid air, water, soil pollution and save environment and ecology”(Page 3 of PDD ), it goes on to list the impact that the project will have on the ecology of the area during construction period. ((Page 38 of PDD ). It is not clear how the project will avoid air, soil and water pollution, this aspect under scrutiny and a special committee of the EAC has been asked to review this.

5. NO DETAILS OF THE ALLEGED PUBLIC HEARING- The PDD states that “the public hearing was held on 10-10-2007 at 11.00 AM at village Phata, Tehsil-Okhimat under the chairmanship of Sri Lalit Mohan Khal, nominated by the District Magistrate Rudraprayag” and that “Comments, views and objections, suggestions given by Project Affected People, general public and public representatives are recorded” (Page 39-40 of PDD). However, the CFF reported that no details of this public meeting ever reached the MoEF.

6. EXPLOSIVES USED IN THE NIGHT- The PDD states that “The blasting will be done using modern technology. Such technologies do not involve heavy

Page 6: Objections to the Granting of CDM status to the Phata ... · Objections to the Granting of CDM status to the Phata-Byung Hydroelectric Project After reading the Project Design Document

blasting. The blasting will be within a very controlled manner by use of series of detonators” Blasting by its very nature is meant to be explosive and no amount of technology can reduce what it is essentially ment to do and that is to blast and create vast holes. (Page 41 of PDD ). Yet as the CFF reported 300kg of explosives are used daily at the project site. It is usually done in the cover of the night. This disturbs the locals and scares away the fauna of the place.

7. THERE IS NO PROCEDURE MENTIONED TO MONITOR THE PROMISED 'ECONOMIC, SOCIAL,ENVIRONMENTAL, AND TECHNOLOGICAL WELLBEING’. Despite all their claims the PDD does not outline any concrete plans, nor are such plans available in any other documentation. Over the last few years, since the beginning of the project there has been a systematic violation of Human Rights and the flouting of various environmental and forest laws. The human population living in the affected area are in the process losing their livelihood, culture and any security they derive from their natural resources.

We have annexed many supporting documents to indicate the extent of the problem and also as a counter to the feigned ignorance of the Project Developers to the huge problems being caused by them.

We urge the Board to look at the various violations of every possible safeguard and of the unwanted destruction of the river ecology and surrounding environment as well as the complete disregard of human costs and appeal and request that the Phata Byung Projects application for CDM credits be rejected.

ANNEXURE-4Extracts from the letter written by Kedar Ghati Bachao Sangharsh Samiti (KGBSS) to the Hon. Minister of Environment and Forests, Shri Jairam Ramesh, regarding the report submitted by the Ministry’s CFF. (translated from Hindi)

1. On the one hand the CFF report claims that the KGBSS is not cooperating with the investigation team. On the other hand the KGBSS has been kept in the dark regarding the arrival and programme of the team. (Para 2)

2. The CFF reports claim that all 7 gram panchayats that will be affected by the Phata-Byung project have given permission to the project. This is incorrect. Firstly, there are 10, not 7 gram panchayats in the affected area. Secondly, the matter was never discussed in the Gram Sabha (Village meeting), but the Gram Prashan (Village Head) was dictated a letter by the company and, without providing adequate information was made to stamp on the paper in the name of development. (Para 4)

3. The permission letter (Praman Patra) clearly show that all the permission letters were typed out before hand, the names of the villages scribbled on later and the Pradhan asked to stamp and sign. No information was provided to the people or even the Pradhan, who could have been convinced in a number of ways. This cannot be called the ‘will of the people’. (Para 4)

4. Even the details of the meetings with the Forest Council (Van Panchayat) were not revealed to the general public. The people found out about the company’s intentions to cut down trees after the company started felling trees in the vicinity of these villages. The villages stood together in opposition to the felling of trees. (Para 5)

5. In many cases, the trees were cut down without the permission of the Forest Council. A real travesty of law. (Para 5)

6. The report in Page 10 says that only villages far away from the project oppose the project as the employment generation from the project will not benefit these people. While all the villages near the project site support the project in view of its employment generation potential. This is incorrect. In fact, the village mentioned in the report as a case in point belongs to the Badasu gram panchayat. The villages in this panchayat- Badasu, Shersi and Tarsil are all against the projects. In the village of Tarsil, the people have kept a bhook hartal (vow not to eat in opposition of the project) to oppose the digging of tunnels under their villages. (Para 6)

7. The company has violated several laws and has not abided the agreement dated 17.11.2008. (Para 8)

8. During the blasts, cracks were noticed in several houses in nearby villages and the possibility of greater danger to locals was realised. Yet there is no rehabilitation plan with the company for the affected people. (Para 9)

9. The report claims that the KGBSS is not satisfied with the schemes of the District administration (Zila Parishad) which are providing employment to so many. However, the deputy District Officer clearly stated in a 30.06.2010 meeting that the company has no plan for generation of employment. The company, he said, was employing people in a certain village by letting off people from some other people which is leading to growing animositybetween people. (Para 10)
