i. Project Description.
1. Background of the Project: The Greater Colombo Water and Wastewater Management
Improvement Investment Program – Project 3 (the Investment Program) will complement the efforts
of the Government of Sri Lanka to improve water supply and wastewater services to the residents of
Greater Colombo. It will also assist the Government in introducing institutional and regulatory
reforms in the sector, particularly in Greater Colombo.
2. The Greater Colombo Water and Wastewater Management Improvement Investment Program-P3
(GCWWMIIP-P3) aims at delivering efficient and reliable urban water supply and sewerage services
in the Greater Colombo area. The impact of the Investment Program will be improved quality of life
for the residents of Greater Colombo. This RP focuses only on the Waste Water component of the
GCWWMIIP-P3. The expected outcome of the Waste Water Component of the overall project will be
improvement wastewater service and management efficiency in Greater Colombo. The expected
outputs this component of the overall project are: (i) rehabilitated and expanded wastewater
network in South and North Catchment Area of Colombo City; (ii) construction of secondary
wastewater treatment plant in the South Catchment Area of Colombo City at Wellawatta and (iii)
strengthened institutional structure and capacity of service provider. The project is to be
implemented over four (4) years, from 2016-2020.
3. The executing agency of the project is the Ministry of Internal & Home Affairs and Provincial

5. Resettlement Plan. The laying of sewer line and construction of two pump stations for the
Kirulapone area is one of the major components of the project 3 for which feasibility report has been
prepared. This RP is an updated version of the RP prepared during the feasibility study. The RP is
prepared following the requirement of ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement 2009, and the Government
of Sri Lanka laws (NIRP 2001).
6. Population in the sub-project roads’ vicinity: the area is the density of the population and
during peak hours roads are full of traffic but off time there are less traffic and houses and privet and
public institutes located about 5 to 8 meter away from the road center. Most of the lands of the area
are privet with freehold title and other lands belonging to the government (CMC, NHDA, and UDA)
35
7. Existing sewerage disposal system in the sub-project area: The area under this sub-project
is not served by the Municipal council provided sewerage system. The residents have their systems
established for the disposal of sewerage. An insignificant number of home gardens the existing
sewerage pits overflow during rainy days. Some householders discharge the overflowing wastewater
from the sewerage pits to the nearby stormwater canals. Not only discharging overflowing
wastewater to the common water bodies but also some householders have directly connected their
sewerage lines to the stormwater canals. This has created critical health issues in the area. The
environment becomes polluted and odor problems are common during rainy days. The stormwater
ditches located in the interior areas of the Under Served Settlements (USS) in the Kirulapone area
are contaminated with wastewater and solid waste and odor are not confined only to rainy days.
8. Resettlement issues: Implementation activities in Kalinga Mawatha pumping station will
create IR impacts 4 families ( 2 residential structures and 1 building exclusively used for a garage,1
family keep cattle in small piece of land within sub-project land, the house of the cattle owner will
not be affected), Pipe laying activities in D.M. Colombage Mawatha near Kirulapone rail station will
result to displace 5 families ( 3 residential structures and 2 housing structures used for residential
cum business activities) and Talakotuwe Pumping station at Talakotuwe Garden road area will result
to displace 7 families in 6 housing structures ( 5 residential structures and 1 residential cum business
structure). The UDA has expressed its willingness to accommodate the evacuated families in sub-
project road areas (Kalinga Mawatha, railroad reservation and Talakotuwe Garden area) in their
newly established Condominium. Therefore, the GCWWMIIP develops this RP and commits to
providing necessary funding and other supports to resettle the sub-project affected families in UDA
built condominium. The PMU of GCWWMIIP will monitor the resettlement and post resettlement
process during the project period.
9. The command areas in some of the sub-project roads are densely populated. There will be
serious access difficulties in such roads during the construction period. Similarly, some other roads
are significantly congested with high traffic. Nearly 13 of 49 sub-project roads are narrow and access
difficulties are presently experienced during peak hours.

C. Scope of Land Acquisition and Resettlement
10. The scope of the land acquisition and the resettlement impact identified based on the field
visit during the design stage and project implementation stage. Proposed involvements and
potential IR impacts are attached in Appendix- 01 of this report sub-component-wise.
11. During the design stage, all efforts have been made to avoid or minimize resettlement
impact through careful design of pipe alignments through available government land and the
existing public road. Therefore, The Project's physical construction works in 49 road sections do not
require land acquisition. Land acquisition is required for two pumping stations at Thalakotuwa
Garden and Kalinga Mawatha, and one pipe laying road section in D.M. Colombage Mawatha. All the
lands except two private plots of lands in Talakotuwa Garden pumping station are government lands
37
(land in D.M. Colombage Mawatha belong to Department of Railway, Kalinga Mawatha PS land
belongs to UDA and Thalkotuwa garden land belong to NHDA).
12. At the project design stage, it was identified resettlement issues in 3 locations at Kalinga
Mawatha & Thalakotuwa garden PS sites and on D.M. Colombage Mawatha pipe laying site. The land
at Kalinga Mawatha PS site was occupied by two households one business place and one cattle-yard,
Thalakotuwa garden land occupied by seven families in six households (two families in one house)
and D.M. Colombage Mawatha pipe laying site occupied by five householders.

13. The Mitigatory measures planned to implement: project-affected total families 15 will be
resettled with compensation under the resettlement policies of the country and the ADB. One of the
other 2 families is involved in running a business venture, garage in a building structure and one
person using a small piece of UDA owned project land as cattle keeping yard but, not living in the
proposed project land even there is no structure in the land. The operational activities of the Garage
(three wheeler repair place) are carried out by a person, a Bachelor on informal mutual agreement
between the owner and the present operator. The Owner of the Garage is living in UDA provided
house at Dematagoda. Therefore, the owner will only be paid compensation for the loss of structure
and business activities and they will not be resettled in the UDA condominium. UDA agreed to
provide alternative land to the cattle yard owner to keep cattle before start the construction
activities. The GCWWMIIP will have the Urban Development Authority’s (UDA) support to resettle
the affected 15 families in their newly built condominiums. Two families privet lands owners of 6 in
Talakotuwe Garden will be given the option to select either to get resettled in UDA built
condominium or to resettle in an area which they prefer.
14. The entitlement matrix has been developed and included in this RP following the policies of
the ADB (2009) and the Sri Lankan government on resettlement (NIRP-2001). The compensation will
be paid for the affected persons before the commencement of the sub-project implementation
activities in their areas. If the resettlement will get delay rental allowances will be paid for affected
families to stay temporary in rented in houses until they are resettled in UDA condominium.
15. Measures will be implemented to address the problems of impact on street vendors and
three-wheel operators and privet and public institute during the project implementation period.
Steps will be taken to minimize the likely negative impacts on road-based livelihood activities and
other disturbances. And also project will take necessary action to mitigate negative impact during
construction activities such as environmental issues, traffic and access difficulties with the support of
the contractor.
16. The construction contractors will be made legally responsible to repair any damages caused
to the structures located in the construction sites due to their activities. This will indirectly influence
the construction contractors to carry out their activities with extreme care to the properties in the
construction sites
17. There will not any negative impacts on poor, indigenous and /or ethnic minorities, and other
vulnerable groups.
E. Information disclosure, consultation, and participation
40
18. Information and dissemination and disclosure have been a continuous process of the
project. The Social safeguard team of the project will continue consultation, information
dissemination disclosure with support to DSIDC consultant and the contractor’s safeguard team. The
finalized RP will be disclosed in ADB’s web site and available Ministry and the project office. Project
information will be continually disseminated through the discloser of the resettlement planning
document and then update the document. Information on compensation, entitlement and
resettlement planning, management principals and monitoring will be available in the local language
and distribute to the affected parties.
Table 5- Mitigation measures suggested addressing the difficulties of community
Impact Suggested mitigation measure
• Transportation and access
difficulties
• Difficulties faced by vehicle users
• Road sections should be used stage by stage
(staggered construction) without excavating the entire
area at once for laying pipes.
• Construction work should be completed in a speedy
manner
• Exploring all the possibilities to use alternative access
roads
• Conducting construction activities during night hours
(only in suitable sub-project’s road sections).
• Explore possibilities to apply trenchless technology in
laying pipes (especially, in narrow roads).
• Effective management of the project site (clearing the
road, providing steel plates as temporary entrances to
houses during construction period)
• Providing safe vehicle parks during the construction
phase
Table 6- Actions to mitigate potential impacts on Economic centers
Impact Suggested mitigation measure
• Customers will not be able to park their
vehicles
• Road congestion
• Providing temporary access roads to the
establishments
• Conducting construction work during night
hours
• Adaption of advanced technology to install
sewer lines without huge damages to roads
• Effective traffic management during the
construction phase
• Completion of project work in a speedy
manner
41
F. Grievance Redress Mechanisms
19. The GRM aims to provide a time-bound transparent mechanism to resolve project-related social
and environmental issues. All grievances linked to the project will be registered.
20. Affected parties at the project site can complain about the grievances to the contractor’s Public
Relation Officer and if not addressed such issues can be forwarded to the PMU Sociologist. If
Grievances are not addressed at the project sociologist level or if the solution is not agreed by the
AP, such issues can be referred by the Project Director to the Safeguards Committee of the project.
GRM process is depicted in FIG.3. The GRM process will not remove the right of the APs to the
recourse of legal action to address issues related to resettlement.
Diagram 1- Complaint handling process
42
G. Legal Framework
21. The Resettlement Plan of the sub-project is developed based on the principles and legal
provisions laid down in The Land Acquisition Act, 1950 (LAA, amended from time to time) and the
National Involuntary Resettlement Policy, 2001 (NIRP). The principles of the NIRP are largely
consistent with ADB’s Policy on social safeguard, ADB SPS 2009.
22. Laws and Policies on the resettlement of Government of Sri Lanka. According to the
National Resettlement Policy (NIRP); involuntary resettlement addresses social and economic
impacts on permanent or temporary and (i) caused by acquisition of land and other fixed assets, (ii)
by change in the use of land, or (iii) restrictions imposed on land as a result of the Project.
H. Entitlements, Assistance and Benefits
23. According to the context of ADB SPS 2009 and the NIRP, all affected persons (APs) are
physically relocated who are living at three locations of the area both Kalinga Mawatha,
Thalakotuwa garden PS sites and Colombage Mawatha pipe laying site. In the absence of formal and
legal title to the land affected person does not receive compensation for the land but they are
entitled to receive compensation for the structure and other compensation relevant to the
resettlement. If there are any vulnerable Aps eligible for the additional compensation and
assistance and also if they interested they are given priority in employment in project-related
construction activities. Type of losses and Entitlement summarized based on both government and
ADB policies and resettlement principals.
