EXECUTIVE SUMMARY REPORT OF CEIA STUDY FOR BINA COMPLEX IRRIGATION AND

MULTIPURPOSE PROJECT

1. GENERAL

The proposed Bina Complex Irrigation and Multipurpose Project is envisaged on rivers,

namely, Bina and Dhasan. As part of the project, water of Bina river will be stored in

earthen dam near Madia in Rahatgarh Tehsil Sagar District. This structure will be

called as Madia dam. To harness the hydro-electric power potential of Madia Dam,

surface power house is also proposed at this location.

Water of Dhasan river will be stored in a dam to be constructed on this river. As a

part of this project, concrete dam will be constructed at Dehra nallah. Water stored

at Dhasan Dam will be diverted to Dehra Dam through a feeder canal. To harness the

hydro-electric potential of Dhasan and Dehra waters stored in Dehra Dam, surface

power house is proposed on Dehra Dam.

Tail water from Madia power house will flow in Bina river and 22 km downstream of

Madia Dam, it will be stored in a dam proposed to be constructed near Chakarpur.

Tail water from Dehra power house will also ultimately met Bina River and stored at

Chakarpur Dam. Water stored at Chkarpur Dam will be adequate enough to moderate

the release pattern from upper dams, thereby, providing flexibility for irrigation

releases. A main canal will be constructed for target irrigation over a CCA of 70,000

ha.

The proposed Bina Multipurpose Project, also envisaged generation of hydro-electric

power by two hydroelectric power plant having installed capacities of 2 x 11 MW and

2 x 5 MW at Madia and Dehra dams, respectively. The tail water from Madia and Dehra

Dam will be stored at Chakarpur dam and will be used for irrigation through main

canal.

The Madia dam site is located at longitude 78̊ 23’24” E and latitude 23˚45’11” N in

Sagar Tehsil of Sagar District. The dam sites on Dhasan river Dehra Nallah is about 26

km from Sagar. Both these sites are easily accessible from Sagar-Bhopal National

Highway. The project location map is enclosed as Figure-1.

4. ENVIRONMENTAL BASELINE STATUS

The Environmental baseline status for various aspects of environment is briefly

described in the following sections. The baseline data has been collected from both

primary and secondary sources. Field studies have been conducted for three seasons

listed as below:

Pre-monsoon/summer June 2015 Monsoon September 2015 Post-monsoon/Winter December 2015-January 2016


WAPCOS Limited 6

4.1 PHYSCIO-CHEMICAL ASPECTS

4.1.1 Meteorology

The project area of the proposed Bina Mutipurpose Project experiences semi-arid

climate characterized by hot summer, pleasant cold winter and general dryness

throughout the years, except during monsoon season. The year can be divided into

four seasons. The summer season lasts from March to about middle of June, followed

by the south-west monsoon season from mid-June to the end of September. The

months of October and November constitute the post monsoon or transition period.

The winter season lasts from December to February.

4.1.2 Soils

The pH in various soil samples collected and analysed from the command area ranged

from 7.31 to 8.6. The Electrical Conductivity (EC) ranged from 18 to 524 µS/cm. The

EC level indicates the non-saline nature of soil. The Bulk density ranged from 0.97 to

1.71 g/cc. The porosity in various soil samples ranged from 19.28 to 65.91%. The

concentration of available potassium ranged from 367.71 to 3827.7 mg/kg (601.8 to

3712.9 kg/ha). The potassium level indicate that soils in the command area have high

(> 280 kg/ha) productivity. The available phosphorus level ranged from 8.64 to 47.67

kg/ha. The organic carbon ranged from 0.03 to 2.79% indicating medium to high

productivity.

4.1.3 Surface Water Quality

The pH level in surface water ranged from 8.02 to 8.75 in various seasons covered as a

part of the study. The pH level indicates that water is in neutral range. The hardness

level in pre-monsoon, monsoon and winter seasons ranged from 65 to 130 mg/l, 65 to

184 mg/l and 85 to 160 mg/l respectively. The total hardness level in surface water

samples was well below the permissible limit of 200 mg/l, specified for meeting

drinking water requirement. The low calcium and magnesium values are responsible

for soft nature of river water in the study area.

The EC levels were well below the permissible limit of 2250 µS/cm specified for

irrigation water requirements as per IS:2296. This indicates the suitability of water for

meeting irrigation and drinking water requirements. The concentration of various

cations and anions were also found to be well below the permissible limit. The BOD

values were also quite low, which indicates the absence of organic pollution loading.


WAPCOS Limited 7

The oil & grease level were below detectable limits in all the samples, which is

expected in the project area, as there are no sources of pollution which can lead to

increase oil & grease content in surface water.

4.1.4 Ground Water Quality

The pH level in various groundwater samples collected from the command area in

various seasons was observed to be with neutral range 7.09 to 8.6 This indicates

neutral nature of the water, and are within the permissible limit specified for meeting

drinking and irrigation water requirements. The hardness level ranged from 142 to 390

mg/l, 146 to 596 mg/l and 180 to 1072 mg/l in pre-monsoon, monsoon and winter

seasons respectively. This is also reflected by the fact that the concentration of

various cations and anions as well. The concentration of various heavy metals was

observed to be below detectable limit in various samples covered as a part of the

study in various seasons. The BOD and COD values are well within the permissible

limits, which indicates the absence of pollution loading in the study area.

4.1.5 Ambient Air Quality

As a part of the field studies, various ambient air quality was monitored at various

locations. There are no major sources of air pollution in the project area. Air

pollutants in the area emanate from vehicular traffic, dust emissions from unpaved

village roads and domestic fuel burning. The ambient air quality was monitored at

various locations in the study area, and the ambient air quality was found to be well

within permissible limit.

4.1.6 Noise Environment

The day time equivalent noise level at various sampling stations were observed to be

well within the permissible limits specified for residential area. This could be attribute

to low vehicular density, absence of industries, etc. in the Study Area.

4.1.7 Land use pattern

The land use pattern of the command area has been studied using satellite data. The

land use pattern of the command area is given in Table-2.


WAPCOS Limited 8

The major landuse category in the GCA of Bina project is agriculture land, as it

accounts for about 36.49% of the gross command area. The area under barren land is

28.79% of the GCA. The area under vegetation is about 6.47% of the gross command

area. Open Vegetation/Scrub account for about 27.18% of the GCA. Settlements

account for about 0.01% of the GCA. The area under water bodies is only 1.05% of the

GCA.

4.2 ECOLOGICAL ASPECTS

4.2.1 Vegetation

Broadly speaking, following Champion and Seth (1968) Classification of forest types of

India published as ‘A revision survey of the forest types of India”, the Bina

Multipurpose project area falls under tropical dry mixed deciduous forest and also

scattered ravine thorn forest. The characteristic features of these types of forest are

given below:

Group 5. Tropical dry deciduous forest

Dry teak forest (5A/C1, a,b) Dry deciduous mixed forests (5B/C2) Dry deciduous scrub forests (5B/DS1)

Group 6. Tropical thorn/scrub forests

Ravine thorn forests (6B/C2)

Floristics

During floristic survey in the Summer, Monsoon Season and Winter season, maximum

number of plant species recorded during the monsoon season. The details are given in

Table-3.

4.2.2 FaunaThe fauna of the study area consists mostly of species with zoo-geographic affinities of

palaearctic, Indo-Malayan and indigenous variably. No major wildlife is observed in the

area. The commonly observed faunal species in the area are Common Jungle Cat, rat,

Jackal and common mangoose, etc. Among domestic animals like bulls, cows,

buffaloes, horses, sheep and goats are found among domesticated mammals. These

cattle besides being a source of milk supply are used as draught animal for the plough

or the cart and transportation. .

4.2.3 Fisheries

The project area is located in the water scare zone where water is available during

monsoon or rainy season only. However, habitat structure and river morphology of

river Dhasan, Dehra and Bina shows presence of some aquatic life in deep water pools

in low lying areas present in the river course.

Some of the common fish communities observed in river Dhasan, Bina and downstream

zone of Dehar nalla are represented by minnows, carps and murrels and are showing

affinities with floral and faunal diversity of Betwa river. Among minnows, Puntius

species are common whereas carps are represented by Labeo species. Other commonly

observed groups present in the area are represented by murrels – snake head fishes

like Channa species followed Cirhinus reba, Salmostoma bacaila and Garra gotyla

gotyla, etc.


WAPCOS Limited 10

4.3 SOCIO-ECONOMIC ASPECTS

4.3.1 Demographic profile

The total population of the command area is about 259498. The male and female

population is 136816 and 122682. The number of females per 1000 males is 897. The

percentage of SC and ST population is 25.47% and 5.41% respectively. The overall

literacy rate in the command area is 31.86%. It is observed that total main workers in

the command area are 75639 accounting for about 29.15% of the total population.

Marginal workers account for about 20.93% of the total population. The remaining

(49.98%) are the dependent population.

5. PREDICTION OF IMPACTS

The impacts on various aspects of environment are briefly described in the following

sections.

5.1 IMPACTS ON LAND ENVIRONMENT

a) Construction Phase

The construction of the proposed Bina Multipurpose Project is expected to be

completed in about three years. Majority of the environmental impacts during

construction phase are temporary in nature, lasting mainly during the construction

phase and for small duration beyond the construction period. However, if these issues

are not properly addressed, impacts can continue even after the construction phase

for a longer duration.

Operation of construction equipment

During construction phase, various types of equipment will be brought to the site.

These include batching plant, earth movers, etc. The siting of these construction

equipment would require significant amount of space. In addition, land will be

required for storage of various construction material as well. However, land for this

purpose will be temporarily acquired, i.e. for the duration of project construction

phase i.e. three years.

Soil erosion

The runoff from various construction sites, will have a natural tendency to flow

towards along with the natural drainage. Thus, the disposal of drainage effluent with

such high turbidity levels is bound to affect the water quality, especially in the lean

season. The drains/nallahs close to various construction sites along the canal

alignment are seasonal in nature. Normally in such rivers biological productivity is not

high. Hence, increase in turbidity levels are not expected to be significant in nature.


WAPCOS Limited 11

b) Operation Phase

Acquisition of land

The tentative total land required for various project components is of about 13953.17

ha. About 1024.14 ha of forest, 11897.28 ha of private land and 1031.45 ha of govt.

land is to be acquired for siting of various project appurtenances.

Change in land use pattern

The GCA and CCA of the project are 97,747 ha and 77,000 ha respectively. In pre

project phase, total area under cultivation is 90747 ha which is expected to increase

to 97747 ha in project operation phase. This would increase the agriculture production

in the command area and is a significant positive impact.

5.2 IMPACTS ON WATER RESOURCES AND QUALITY

Changes in water quality due to increased use of fertilizers

With the introduction of irrigation, use of fertilizers is likely to increase, to maintain

the increased levels of production. The drainage system (natural or man-made) is

likely to contain much higher level of nutrients. The climatic conditions in the project

area too is suitable for the proliferation of eutrophication in the project area. Thus, in

the project operation phase, there will be increased probability of eutrophication in

the water bodies receiving agricultural runoff. As a part of Environmental Management

Plan, appropriate control measures have been recommended.

5.3 IMPACTS ON TERRESTRIAL ECOLOGY

Impacts on vegetal cover

As a part of field studies, ecological survey was conducted at various locations in the

dam and reservoir area. The introduction of irrigation in the area will increase the

agriculture production of the area, leading to the increased availability of fodder as a

result of increased agricultural by products and residues. The increased level of fodder

availability would reduce the presence on existing pasture and vegetal cover, which is

a significant positive impact.

Impacts on wildlife

The area to be brought under irrigation within the command area shall be devoid of

forests. The project area is interspersed with settlements and agricultural land. In

such settings large scale faunal population is not observed. Thus, no significant impact

on wildlife is anticipated due to the project.


WAPCOS Limited 12

Impacts due to increased human interference

The congregation of labour force in the project area might result in enhancement in

indiscriminate fishing including use of explosives. But in the present case, no fish is

present in the project area river reach length so no impact is anticipated.

5.4 IMPACTS ON NOISE ENVIRONMENT

Noise due to construction equipment

In a water resource project, the impacts on ambient noise levels are expected due to

operation of construction equipment. It is a known fact that there is a reduction in

noise level as the sound wave passes through atmosphere or through a barrier.

Generally, during construction phase, noise attenuates within 300-500 m from the

construction sites. Thus, no increase in noise levels is anticipated as a result of various

activities on population residing at a distance of 300-500m, during project

construction phase. There could be marginal impacts on the population residing in

proximity to the canal alignment during construction phase as a result of various

activities. However, based on past experience in similar projects, the impact however,

is not expected to be significant.

5.5 IMPACTS ON AIR QUALITY

a) Construction Phase

Pollution due to fuel combustion in various equipment

The operation of various construction equipment requires combustion of fuel.

Normally, diesel is used in such equipment. The major pollutant which gets emitted as

a result of diesel combustion is SO2. The SPM emissions are minimal due to low ash

content in diesel. The short-term increase in SO2, even assuming that all the

equipment are operating at a common point, is quite low, i.e. of the order of less than

1g/m3. Hence, no major impact is anticipated on this account.

Fugitive Emissions from various sources

During construction phase, there will be increased vehicular movement. Stockpiles of

construction material like sand, fine aggregate is stored at various sites, during the

project construction phase. Normally, due to blowing of winds, especially when the

environment is dry, some of the stored material can get entrained in the atmosphere.

However, such impacts are visible only in and around the storage sites. Likewise,

fugitive emissions get entrained due to vehicular movement on unpaved roads. The

impact of pollution due to the source is observed upto 200-300 m from the point of

origin. The impacts on this account are generally, insignificant in nature.


WAPCOS Limited 13

5.6 INCREASED INCIDENCE OF WATER-RELATED DISEASES

Increased incidence of water-related diseases

The association between irrigation development and the incidence of water related

diseases such as malaria, etc is well established. The available data clearly indicates

that the major water related diseases prevalent in the project area are malaria and

gastroenteritis. The preferred environmental setting for vectors is fresh water open to

sunshine or moderate shade. The habitats for larvae growth are permanent or semi-

permanent standing fresh water such as small ponds, pools, standing agricultural

water, permanent or semi-permanent fresh water such as open stretches or canals.

Thus, the project may create favorable conditions for breeding of new pathogens or

vectors such as mosquitoes, etc. The experience of various projects, confirms the

above mentioned hypothesis. In the project area, a sudden spurt in the incidence of

malaria is expected, if adequate control measures are not taken up during project

operation phase.

Improvement in availability of water for various uses, increased agricultural

production, availability of diversified food, strengthening of educational and health

facilities significantly improves public health in the project area. On the other hand,

water resources development also has negative impacts, since, it could increase the

habitat of certain vectors like mosquitoes. Thus, poorly planned and managed water

resources projects could increase the prevalence of vector-borne diseases like malaria

and filariasis.

6. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

6.1 ENVIRONMENTAL MEASURES DURING CONSTRUCTION PHASE

Facilities in Labour Camps

It is proposed that it should be made mandatory for the contractor involved in the

construction activities to provide adequate facilities for water supply and sanitation.

Water supply

Appropriate water supply sources need to be identified. Proper infrastructure for

storage and if required treatment e.g. disinfection or other units, should also be

provided.

Sewage treatment

The labour population is proposed to be situated in existing colonies. One community

toilet needs to be provided for 20 persons. The sewage from the community toilets


WAPCOS Limited 14

shall be treated in a sewage treatment plant comprising of aerated lagoons and

secondary settling tank.

Provision of community kitchen and Free Fuel

A community kitchen shall be provided where workers have their meals. The fuel used

in such community kitchens could be LPG or diesel. The project contractor in

association shall make necessary arrangements for supply of fuel to labour population

for which provision shall be kept in the cost estimate.

Solid waste management

The labour colonies will generate substantial amount of municipal wastes. Adequate

facilities for collection, conveyance and disposal of solid waste needs to be developed.

For solid waste collection, masonry storage vats, each of 2 m3 capacity should be

constructed at appropriate locations in various labour camps. These vats should be

emptied at regular intervals and the collected waste can then be transported to

landfill sites. Two covered trucks to collect the solid waste from common collection

point and transfer it to the disposal site should be put to service. A suitable landfill

site shall be identified and designed to contain municipal waste from various project

township, labour colonies, etc.

Restoration of construction sites

Normally construction sites are left unreclaimed, with construction waste being left

without being properly disposed. In the proposed project, it is proposed to collect the

construction waste from various construction sites, and disposed off at sites identified

in consultation with the district administration. The various construction sites would

be properly levelled. The levelling or reclamation of various construction sites, should

be made mandatory for the contractor, hence, no additional cost has been earmarked

as a part of the cost to be earmarked for implementation of EMP.

6.2 MAINTENANCE OF WATER QUALITY

In the project operation phase, a colony is likely to be set up. It is proposed to provide

sewage treatment plant in the project colony, cost of which shall be included in the

contract for constructing the project colony.

6.3 HEALTH DELIVERY SYSTEM

The various measures for control of Public Health are listed as below:

- Site selected for habitation of workers should not be in the path ofnatural drainage.

- Adequate drainage system to dispose storm water drainage from thelabour colonies should be provided.


WAPCOS Limited 15

- Adequate vaccination and immunization facilities should be provided forworkers at various construction sites.

- Labour camps and resettlement sites should be at least 2 to 3 km awayfrom quarry areas.

It is proposed to develop one dispensary if the proposed project area. The staffing

details are given in Table-4.

Table-4 : Details of para-medical staff in the dispensaryPara medical staff Number

I. Auxiliary Nurse 2Attendant 2Driver 1Total 5

A first-aid post shall be provided at the major construction sites. These posts will have

the following facilities:

- First aid box with essential medicines including ORS packets

- First aid appliances-splints and dressing materials

- Stretcher, wheel chair, etc.

6.4 SUSTENANCE & ENHANCEMENT OF FISHERIES POTENTIAL

The commissioning of the proposed Bina Multipurpose Irrigation Project will increase

the water availability in the project command area. It is proposed to stock the

reservoir with fingerlings. Adequate infrastructure in terms of nurseries, rearing

ponds, etc. shall be commissioned as a part of the project.

6.5 CONTROL OF WEEDS ON AGRICULTURE LANDS

Measures against weeds comprise mechanical (cultivation and mowing), cultural or

cropping, biological and chemical means. These include:

- hand weeding

- adopting farming practices that change the conditions in such a way as to

enable plants to complete with weeds

- use of weedicides.

6.6 CONTROL OF PESTS

Integrated pest management strategy should be followed to reduce the use of

pesticides. In this method, a limited number of insecticidal sprays are undertaken and

simultaneously bio-control agents like pheromones, etc. are used. The pheromones


WAPCOS Limited 16

are organic compounds developed specifically for each type of pest which are

commercially synthesized in the laboratories and sold in the market.

Integrated pest management strategy shall be followed to reduce the consumption of

pesticides. In this method, a limited number of insecticidal sprays are undertaken and

simultaneously bio-control agents like pheromones, etc. are used. The pheromones are

organic compounds developed specifically for each type of pest which are

commercially synthesized in the laboratories and sold in the market.

6.7 TRAINING AND EXTENSION COURSES FOR FARMERS

The change from rainfed to irrigated cropping requires extension, training and

demonstration programmes for farmers. Considering these aspects it is proposed that

the project authorities needs to provide adequate training to farmers.

The training shall include the following aspects of environmental protection:

Prevention of spread of water related diseases; Safe use of agro-chemicals, and Environmental conservation programmes.

6.8 CONTROL OF AIR POLLUTION

The following measures are recommended:

The contractor will be responsible for proper maintenance and functioning ofconstruction equipment to minimize emissions of pollutants.

Construction equipment and vehicles will be turned off when not used forextended periods of time.

Unnecessary idling of construction vehicles to be prohibited. Effective traffic management to be undertaken to avoid significant delays in

and around the project area. Road damage caused by sub-project activities will be promptly attended to

with proper road repair and maintenance work. Identification of construction limits (minimal area required for construction

activities). Wherever possible, excavated spoils will be removed as the contractor

proceeds along the length of the activity. When necessary, stockpiling of excavated material will be covered. Excessive soil on paved areas will be sprayed (wet) and/or swept and unpaved

areas will be sprayed and/or mulched. Contractors will be required to cover stockpiled soils and trucks hauling soil,

sand, and other loose materials (or require trucks to maintain at least two feetof freeboard).

Contractor shall ensure that there is effective traffic management at site. Number of trucks/vehicles to move at various construction sites to be fixed.


WAPCOS Limited 17

Construction area including access roads, and working areas shall be swept withsweepers on a daily basis or regularly sprayed with water to minimizeentrainment of fugitive emissions.

6.9 NOISE CONTROL MEASURES

The contractors will be required to maintain properly functioning equipment and

comply with occupational safety and health standards. The construction equipment

will be required to use available noise suppression devices and properly maintained

mufflers. The effect of high noise levels on the labour population involved in

construction activities is to be considered as likely to be particularly harmful. To

prevent these effects, it has been recommended by international specialist

organisations that the exposure period of affected persons be limited as specified in

Table-5. Alternatively, they should be provided with effective personal protective

measures such as ear muffs or ear plugs to be worn during periods of exposure.

Table-5 : Maximum Exposure Periods specified by Occupational Safety & HealthAssociation (OSHA)

Maximum equivalent continuous noiselevel dB(A)

Unprotected exposure period per day for 8hrs/day and 5 days/week

90 895 4100 2105 1110 ½115 ¼120 No exposure permitted at or above this level

The other measures to control noise could be as follows:

Equipment and machineries should be maintained regularly to keep the noise

generation

Silencers and mufflers of the individual machineries to be regularly checked;

Yearly audiometric survey on workers exposed to high noise levels should be

undertaken.

7. CATCHMENT AREA TREATMENT PLAN

Silt Yield Index (SYI) method has been used to prioritize sub-watershed in a catchment

area for treatment. The area under very high and high erosion categories is to be

treated at the project proponent cost. The catchment area considered for treatment

various dams in Bina Multi-purpose project is 1853 sq.km


WAPCOS Limited 18

In the catchment of the proposed Bina Multipurpose Project, there is no area under

very high erosion category. Hence, CAT plan has been suggested for high erosion

category, as a part of the present EIA study, the expenses of which have to be borne

by project proponents. The area under high erosion category are 64156 ha, 24832 ha,

4590 ha and 5320 ha for Madia, Dhasan, Dehra and Chakarpur dams respectively. An

amount of Rs. 38.78 crore has been earmarked for Catchment Area Treatment

The following Engineering and Biological measures have been suggested for the

catchment area treatment.

1. Engineering measures

- Nallah Bunding- Contour Bunding- Angle iron barbed wire fencing

2. Biological measures
