5. screening and assessment of potential impacts. ADB requires the consideration of environmental issues in all aspects of the Bank’s operations, and the requirements for environmental assessment are described in ADB‟s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS), 2009. The potential environmental impacts of the subproject have been assessed using ADB Rapid Environmental Assessment Checklist for Water Supply. Then potential negative impacts were identified in relation to pre-construction, construction and operation of the improved infrastructure.
6. The subproject is unlikely to cause significant adverse impacts because: (i) the components will involve straightforward construction and operation, so impacts will be mainly localized; (ii) predicted impacts are site-specific and likely to be associated with the construction process and are produced because the process is invasive, involving excavation and earth movements; and (iii) being located mainly in an existing built-up area, will not cause direct impact on terrestrial biodiversity values. Potential negative impacts mainly arise from disturbance of residents, businesses, increase in traffic, increase in noise level and dusts,
11
and the need to dispose moderate quantities of waste soil during construction phase and generation of sludge from the WTP during operation and maintenance phase. However, there are well-developed methods for mitigation of these impacts to acceptable levels.
7. Categorization. Based on results of the assessment and ADB SPS, the subproject is
classified as environmental Category B, i.e., the subproject is judged to be unlikely to have significant adverse environmental impacts. An initial environmental examination (IEE) is required to determine whether significant environmental impacts warranting an environmental impact assessment are likely.
8. This IEE aims to (i) provide critical facts, significant finding, and recommended actions; (ii) present the national and local legal and institutional framework within which the environmental assessment has been carried out; (iii) provide information on existing geographic, ecological, social and temporal context including associated facilities within the subproject’s area of influence; (iv) assess the subproject’s likely positive and negative direct and indirect impacts to physical, biological, socioeconomic, and physical cultural resources in the subproject’s area of influence; (v) identify mitigation measures and any residual negative impacts that cannot be mitigated; (vi) describe the process undertaken during project design to engage stakeholders and the planned information disclosure measures and the process for carrying out consultation with affected people and facilitating their participation during project implementation; (vii) describe the subproject’s grievance redress mechanism for resolving complaints about environmental performance; (viii) present the set of mitigation measures to be undertaken to avoid, reduce, mitigate, or compensate for adverse environmental impacts; (ix) to describe the monitoring measures and reporting procedures to ensure early detection of conditions that necessitate particular mitigation measures; and (x) identify indicative costs and who is responsible for carrying out the mitigation and monitoring measures.
9. Description of Environment: Proposed subproject component area under the Betul Bazar, Amla and Sarni in Betul District. For Betul -Bazar, water supplied in subproject area will be taken by the trapping raw water feeder mains for Betul City. Betul Bazar is also situated around 10 km from Satpura forest reservoir, so there will not be any negative impact on forest reservoir due to construction in Betul Bazar. For Betul Bazar, water supplied in subproject area will be taken by the trapping raw water feeder mains for Betul City from Tapti River. Water sustainability of Tapti River was analyzed for supplying water to Betul Bazar. Tapti River is found sustainable to supply the water in Betul in terms of quality as well as quantity. All the proposed structure like WTP and OHT will be constructed on Revenue land that is vacant and no any ecological and environmental feature is present on that siteany of the project components will not fall under the boundary.The proposed intake structure for Sarni is situated in Satpura reservoir. The sarni town is surrounded and enter locked by Satpura forest reservoir. But none of any proposed structure under Sarni WSS is coming under forest and restricted area.Construction o f W T P islocatedonMunicipalownedbarrenlandwithnonotabletreecover.Project activitiesare confined toidentifiedsites,anddo notencroachintoforests.In Amla Intake well is to be built in Bel river which is under the control of WRD GOMP and the WTP site is proposed on govt. land , there is no involvement of forest land and no tree cutting is required.The ground water availability in these areas comes under Safe Zone as per Central Ground Water Board (CGWB) report.
12
10. Potential environmental impacts. The subproject is unlikely to cause significant adverse impacts because: (i) relatively small scale as the population and water demand is minimal, (ii) the components will involve straightforward construction and operation, so impacts will be mainly localized; and (iii) predicted impacts are site-specific and likely to be associated with the construction process and are produced because the process is invasive, involving excavation and earth movements.
11. Environmental impacts as being due to the project design or location are not significant. The
proposed water supply schemes include design of new water sources nearest surface water bodies,that include construction of Weir (for Amla). Considering good water availability and very small demand, it is assessed to be unlikely to have any significant issue of source sustainability. Given that Weir is small structure with have limited & fixed height and submergence confined to river course with no direct water withdrawals, the impacts on downstream and ecosystem are likely to be insignificant. Water quality is good and there are no potential pollution sources in the vicinity that could affect the water quality. Although none of the components are located within the forest, conduct of construction works and presence of workers, vehicles may damage /disturb the sensitive areas. Necessary precautionary measures are suggested to avoid any impacts.
12. During construction, potential negative impacts mainly arise from disturbance of residents,
businesses, increase in traffic, increase in noise level and dusts, and the need to dispose moderate quantities of waste soil during construction phase and generation of sludge from the WTP during operation and maintenance phase. However, there are well-developed methods for mitigation, minimization to acceptable levels. Operation phase impacts are likely to be insignificant.
13. Environmental Management Plan. An environmental management plan (EMP) has been developed to provide mitigation measures to reduce all negative impacts to acceptable levels. Locations and sitting of the proposed infrastructures were considered to further reduce impacts. These include (i) locating facilities on government-owned land to avoid the need for land acquisition and relocation of people; and (ii) laying of pipes in RoW alongside main/access roads, to reduce acquisition of land and impacts on livelihoods specifically in densely populated areas of the town.
14. The EMP includes design measures such as (i) design of small Weir; (ii) wash water recovery for the WTP to reduce effluent to be discharged and safe sludge disposal (iii) energy efficient pumping equipment and (iv) quick leak detection and rectification to save the resources, etc. During construction, the EMP includes mitigation measures such as (i) implementation of traffic management plan in coordination with local traffic police to minimize traffic impacts; (ii) awareness campaigns and consultations to inform residents and businesses of potential disturbances; (iii) provision of walkways and planks over trenches to ensure access will not be impeded; (iv) use of noise-dampening measures in areas with sensitive receptors such as hospitals, schools, places of worships and other silence-zones; (v) use of dust-suppression methods such as watering and/or covering of stockpiles; and (vi) finding beneficial use of excavated materials to extent possible to reduce the quantity that will be disposed off. As for the O&M phase, facilities will need to be repaired from time to time, but environmental impacts will be much less than those of the construction period as the work will be infrequent, affecting small areas only. The design of the WTP includes dewatering and drying areas as part of sludge management.
13
15. The EMP will guide the environmentally sound construction of the subproject and ensure
efficient lines of communication between Madhya Pradesh Urban Development Company (MPUDC), project management unit (PMU), project implementing unit (PIU), consultants and contractors. The EMP will (i) ensure that the activities are undertaken in a responsible non-detrimental manner; (i) provide a pro-active, feasible and practical working tool to enable the measurement and monitoring of environmental performance on site; (ii) guide and control the implementation of findings and recommendations of the environmental assessment conducted for the subproject; (iii) detail specific actions deemed necessary to assist in mitigating the environmental impact of the subproject; and (iv) ensure that safety recommendations are complied with. The EMP includes a monitoring program to measure the environmental condition and effectiveness of implementation of the mitigation measures. It will include observations on- and off-site, document checks, and interviews with workers and beneficiaries.
16. The contractor will be required to submit to PMU, for review and approval, a site environmental plan (SEP) including (i) proposed sites/locations for construction work camps, storage areas, hauling roads, lay down areas, disposal areas for solid and hazardous wastes; (ii) specific mitigation measures following the approved EMP; (iii) monitoring program as per SEP; and (iv) budget for SEP implementation. No works are allowed to commence prior to approval of SEP. A copy of the EMP/approved SEP will be kept on site during the construction period at all times. The EMP included in the bid and contract documents. Non-compliance with, or any deviation from, the conditions set out in this document constitutes a failure in compliance.
17. Consultation, disclosure and grievance redress mechanism. The stakeholders were
involved in developing the IEE through discussions on-site and public consultation at several places in the town, after which views expressed were incorporated into the IEE and in the planning and development of the project. The IEE will be made available at public locations and will be disclosed to a wider audience via the ADB, MPUDC and PMU websites. The consultation process will be continued and expanded during project implementation to ensure that stakeholders are fully engaged in the project and have the opportunity to participate in its development and implementation. A grievance redress mechanism is described within the IEE to ensure any public grievances are addressed quickly.
18. Implementation Arrangements. Urban Development and Environment Department
(UDED) of Government of Madhya Pradesh will be the Executing Agency. Implementing Agency will be Madhya Pradesh Urban Development Company (MPUDC), A central Project Management Unit (PMU) attached to MPUDC will be responsible for implementing the MPUSIP. The PMU will be supported by Program Implementation Units (PIUs). Several teams of Design Consultants, and a Program Management Consultant (PMC) centrally located in PMU and with field teams, will support PMU & PIUs. Infrastructure will be designed, built, and operated (DBO) by contractor for 10 years, after which it will be transferred to the ULB. Project Officer (Environment) at PMU and Assistant Safeguard Officer (ASO) at each of the PIU will be responsible for environment safeguards tasks, and will be supported by Environment Specialist of PMC Team. Contractor personnel will include an Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) supervisor and an Archaeological Supervisor.
14
19. Monitoring and Reporting.The PMU and PMDC will be responsible for monitoring. The PMDC will submit quarterly and semi-annual monitoring reports to PMU, and the PMU will review and send the semi-annual monitoring reports to ADB. ADB will post the environmental monitoring reports on its website.
20. Conclusions and Recommendations.The proposed project is therefore unlikely to cause significant adverse impacts. The potential impacts that are associated with design, construction and operation can be mitigated to standard levels without difficulty through proper engineering design and the incorporation or application of recommended mitigation measures and procedures. Based on the findings of the IEE, there are no significant impacts and the classification of the project as Category “B” is confirmed. No further special study or detailed environmental impact assessment (EIA) needs to be undertaken to comply with ADB SPS (2009) or GOI EIA Notification (2006). Project will require following government permission/approvals: (i) permission of WRD, GOMP for water abstraction from Bel River and construction of Anicut on Bel river for Amla townand for abstraction from Satpura Reservoir for Sarni town iii) permission /approvals of water Resources Department (WRD) ,GOMP for water abstraction from Satpura reservoir (iv)consent for construction of WTP in government land and establishment and consent for operation for WTP from Madhya Pradesh Pollution Control Board. These permissions/approvals shall be obtained prior to invitation of bids.This IEE will be updated during the detailed design stage.by the DBO contractor to reflect any changes, amendments and will be reviewed and approved by PMU.

B. Purpose of this IEE Report
6. ADB requires the consideration of environmental issues in all aspects of the Bank’s
operations, and the requirements for environmental assessment are described in ADB‟s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS), 2009. The potential environmental impacts of the subproject have been assessed using ADB Rapid Environmental Assessment Checklist for Water Supply. Then potential negative impacts were identified in relation to pre-construction, construction and operation of the improved infrastructure, and results of the assessment show that the subproject is unlikely to cause significant adverse impacts. Thus, this initial environmental examination (IEE) has been prepared in accordance with ADB SPS‟s requirements for environment category B projects.
7. This IEE is based on the detailed engineering report prepared by the Designed Consultant team and will be finalized during implementation stage by DBO contractor to reflect any changes and latest subproject designs. The IEE was based mainly on field reconnaissance surveys and secondary sources of information. No field monitoring (environmental) survey was conducted however, the environmental monitoring program developed as part of the environmental management plan (EMP) will require the contractors to establish the baseline environmental conditions prior to commencement of civil works. The results will be reported as part of the environmental monitoring report and will be the basis to ensure no degradation will happen during subproject implementation. Stakeholder consultation was an integral part of the IEE.

III. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT
A. PROJECT AREA
9. Subproject for improvement of water supply system in the four towns Betul-Bazar, Amlaand Sarni is proposed under Tranche 1, MPUSIP. Subproject towns are located in Betul district in around 100 km distance .Population of all the three towns as per 2011 census is; Betul-Bazar- 10631,Amla-30215and Sarni-86141.
10. Betul Bazar is twin city of Betul city. The district derives its name from this town of Betul
Bazar about 5 km South of Badnur, the headquarters of the district. During the Maratha
regime also, in the beginning of the British rule, Betul or Betul Bazar was the district
headquarters. In 1822 the district headquarters was shifted to Badnur, after which
the village came to be known as ‘Badnur Dhana’, meaning Badnur village in the local dialect. Now, even after such a long time, not only the district retains the old name,
but the name of the new Headquarters town, Badnur, has also been superimposed by
"BETUL". The total area of Betul Bazar is 5 Sq KM and population as per 2011 census is
10631.
11. Amla is a town which lies in southern part of Madhya Pradesh. The Municipal area is
being divided in 18 wards for civil administration. Amla geographically lies at 21.92°N
Latitude&78.13°ELongitude. It is situated 40 kms from District Headquarter Betul.The
total municipal area of the town is approximately6.38Sq.Kms and out of that 3.28 sq.km
comes under developed area and remaining area is under agriculture, water bodies and
unorganized open spaces of the city.
12. Sarni is located in an area that is known as a part of the Gondwana tract after the Gond
Tribe, who chiefly inhabited in this area and practice shifting cultivation. It is situated in
Betul district. The total area of the town 35.42 Sq Kms and population as per 2011
census is 86141.

B. EXISTING WATER SUPPLYSITUATIONS
1. BETUL BAZAR
13. Present water supply of the Betul-Bazar town is mostly depend on ground water i.e. on 8
tube wells (7 working), 36 numbers of hand pumps (28 working) and 3 open wells. Water
from the tube wells and open wells are pumped to two OHT’s of capacity 300 KL and 500 KL. Total 85 Hp (10 Hp on each tube well and 7.5 Hp on each open well) capacity
pumps are installed at 7 tube wells and 3 open wells. Both the OHT’s are filled only once
in a day. It takes approximately 12 hours to fill the 300 KL OHT and approximately 14 –
16 hours to fill 500 KL OHT. Then the water is distributed with the help of 7 km of
distribution system having ACP pipes from 100 to 300 mm diameter and GI pipes having
diameter 50 mm to 80 mm laid in the town. Thus the total water supplied to the Betul
Bazar town at present is 0.40MLD i.e. 38 LPCD.
2. AMLA
14. The maximum available water at present from groundwater sources is upto 1.00 MLD,
from which the average water supply is only 33 liters per capita per day in comparison to
70 lpcd.
15. The piped water supply scheme of Amla town was first introduced in 1983.Total installed
capacity of the present water supply based on underground sources is almost 1.00 MLD.
The inhabitants of the Town receive water at a maximum rate of 33lpcd. Presently town
is getting water from the 29Tube wells, 24 Wells and 140 hand pumps. There is no water
treatment plant & intake well. The underground water table is at a depth of
approximately 80-100 M which is further decreasing every year as a result of drawl of
water from the tube wells. The increasing depth of water table is resulting in high
pumping cost and also the possibility of presence of heavy metals in water.
16. Presently Amla is having 4 nos. of Overhead Tanks, 1 having capacity of 165 KL at
Nagar Palika, 1 having capacity of 200 KL at Bada Park & 2 having capacity of 310 KL;
1 at Govind Colony & 1 at Bodkhi School & all are in good conditions. The water is
supplied by directly pumping water from the tubewells to the OHTs.
17. The water is supplied on alternate day basis. In some pockets water is supplied at an
interval of 2-days (for 30 to 45 minutes). The water from wells and tube wells are
pumped into the OHTs and supplied after adding bleaching powder. The existing
system is not sufficient to cover piped water supply of whole town. In the absence of
100% piped water supply system people are relying upon Public Taps and Municipal
21
council has made necessary arrangements of water tankers to provide water to the
community during the summer seasons and in case of emergency.
18. The existing distribution system comprises of GI pipes having diameters of 50 mm-150
mm & total length of existing distribution system is approximately 45.00 Kms. The pipes
are not in a good condition; hence it has been discarded in the proposed project.
3. SARNI
19. Present water supply of the Sarni town is mostly depends on water from Satpura
Reservoir. Actually existing water supply scheme of Sarni was executed and operated
by MPEB and WCL.
20. Scenario of Water Supply Scheme by Western Coalfield Limited: Ward numbers 14
to 29 of Pathakheda and 30 to 35 of Shobhapur is coming under WCL area. Intake well
was constructed in the Satpura Reservoir. Water will be pumped to WTP at Pathakheda
having cumulative capacity 7.70 MLD. Then the water will be pumped to 10 numbers of
OHT’s having cumulative capacities 1868 KL. All these OHT’s were constructed from year 1975 to 2000. After that the water will be distributed to wards numbers 14 to 30 with
the help of approximately 40 km of distribution system. Mainly CI pipes having diameter
300 mm & 200 mm and GI Pipes having diameter 100 mm & 50 mm were used to
distribute the water. The entire scheme was executed more than 30 years back and
hence augmentation is required.
21. Scenario of Water Supply Scheme by MPEB: Ward numbers 1 to 13 of Sarni is
coming under MPEB area. Intake well was constructed in the Satpura Reservoir. Water will be pumped to WTP at Sarni near Thermal Power Plant having approximate capacity 4 MLD. Then the water will be pumped to 2000 KL OHT in Ward No 7. After that the water will be distributed to wards numbers 1 to 13 with the help of approximately 30 km of distribution system. Mainly CI pipes having diameter 300 mm & 200 mm and GI Pipes having diameter 100 mm & 50 mm were used to distribute the water. The entire scheme was executed around year 1980 and hence augmentation is required.
22. Present water supply arrangements are not adequate and since the water supply
infrastructure was constructed more than 30 years back that leads to heavy water
losses, therefore water scarcity conditions are arising. Water supply losses during
transmission are also very high i.e. more than50%, that leads to a high energy
consumption and loss of ULB.Presently water is supplied only for 45 min on daily.
22
C. Proposed Project Components
1. BETUL-BAZAR
23. For Betul Bazar WSS, the most appropriate water source considered is Tapti River. A
bringwater supply scheme is proposed for Betul town from Tapti River. Barrage proposed to
beconstructed on Tapti River for Betul town and water will be to pump to WTP from
TaptiRiver. Barrage was designed considering the water demand of Betul Town. It is
proposed to tap raw water from 400 mm DI K-9 Raw Water Rising Main at Multai Road
inBetul. Also, Raw Water Sump& Pump House at junction point are proposed to construct.
From Junction Point water is pumped to WTP with the help of Centrifugal Pumps and
150mm DI K9 RWRM having length 5500 m.WTP capacity is of 1.15 MLD is proposed to be
constructed at Khasra No – 84/1 in Ward No1 on Betul Road. The ownership of land is
verified and is in possession of RevenueDepartment, Govt. of Madhya Pradesh and
considered land is ensured for the purposed ofwater supply scheme.Presently two OHT’s are available in Betul Bazar having capacities 300 KL in Ward No 3 &500 KL in Ward No 7.
The 500 KL OHT was constructed in 1990. The present condition of500 KL is not good and
hence proposed not to use this OHT in new scheme. The 300 KL wasconstructed in 2004
and proposed to be used in new scheme. In addition to this 200 KL OHTis proposed to be
constructed in Ward No 8 at Khasra No 475 to cater the water demand of Betul Bazar town
till year 2033 new water supply scheme is needs to be implemented for population for the of
13000 souls for a year 2048 (Ultimate Year of Design) considering 70 LPCD water supply
and source as surface source to ensure adequate quantity, quality and desired pressure at
doorstep of each household as per the Guidelines of MPUSIP.As Betul Bazar is tapping raw
water from town Betul where the Bids are in final process and project is likely to be
completed in 6 months.
2. AMLA
24. As per the proposed augmentation project, it is proposed to augment the capacity of existing
Amla water supply so as to suit the drinking water needs of the probable population of Amla
for next 30 years taking net supply rate as 70 lpcd. The population of Amla for next 30 years
(upto 2048) i.e., taking 2 year as execution period and 30 years as service period has been
estimated as 43,500 i,e., design population. Taking 70 lpcd as per capita demand, the net
water requirement shall be 3.05 MLD. After accounting for 15% Transmission and Treatment
losses, the raw water required shall be 3.60 MLD. This augmentation project has been
designed for augmenting the capacity of water supply system up to 3.60 MLD from Bel
River. (a) Weir Construction having length of 70 m and 8.0 m total height including 2 m
foundation at Kajli Village on Bel River.
23
3. SARNI
22. A new water supply scheme is needs to be implemented for population for the of
135100souls for a year 2048 (Ultimate Year of Design) considering 135 LPCD water supply
and source as surface source to ensure adequate quantity, quality and desired pressure at
doorstep of each household as per the Guidelines of MPUSIP. The design base year for the
proposed WSS is taken as 2018, in which population is likely to be reached 95500 and
water demand will be 16.30 MLD.
23. For the Sarni town, the demand of water supply for the year 2018, 2033 & 2048 are
estimated to the tune of 16.30 MLD, 19.70 MLD &23.10 MLD respectively. Thus maximum
of 23.10 MLD intake form the source per annum i.e. 8431 ML (8.43 MCM) of drawl of water
is to be ensured. Annual average recoupment of water in the tank every year is around
75.43 MCM. While the recoupment of water during rainy season is 75.43 MCM which is 10
times than the annual water demand of Sarni town
24. Following Table 1 shows the proposed water supply systems along with natureand size of
components in foursubproject towns.Figure 2 to Figure 10 shows the proposed water
systems, component layouts etc
25. Project benefits. The subproject aims to achieve safe and sustainable water services both
in terms of services to customers, cost recovery and conservation of precious water
resources. The subproject will provide continuous, pressurized and safe drinking water
services to entire population of the towns (100% coverage). Besides achieving progressively
increasing cost recovery by expanding the coverage and increasing operating efficiency, the
subproject will improve the overall environmental quality of the town. It will reduce the
reduced time and costs of households in accessing alternative sources of water, and will
lead to better public health particularly reduction in waterborne and infectious diseases.

II. Source
1 Alternatives • Extracting Ground Water • Sapana River • Sapana Dam • Tapti River – Tapping on Raw
Water Rising Main of Betul WSS
Other than these four options, there is not water body nearby the Betul Bazar town to consider as a water source for proposed Water Supply Scheme of town. A water supply scheme for Betul city is under construction.
• Bel river • sasundra Dam and sapana
Dam • Narmada River • Tapti River • Machana River
Other then these five options, there is no water body present nearby vicinity of the town.
• Extracting Ground Water • Satpura Reservoir • Constructing Dam on Tawa
River at Tiliyadoh Other than these three options, there is no water body present nearby vicinity of the Sarni town to consider as a water source for proposed Water Supply Scheme of town. For the proposed water supply scheme, Satpura Reservoir is found adequate for the water supply in Sarni town after analyzing all the tree water sources. The location of Satpura dam is in the reachable scratch from the core Sarni town and located in Tehsil – Sarni, Dist - Betul. The dam is around 7.00 km away from Sarni town
2
Selected source
Tapti river is taken as water source in this scheme. The raw water feeder mains for Betul city will cross through Betul Bazar. So, trapping of this raw water rising mains of Betul city WSS is found economical for supplying water in Betul Bazar.
The Bel River is most suitable dependable/sustainable surface source of water supply because of the less distance and pumping cost.
Satpura Reservoir is selected as water
source.

IV. POLICY, LEGAL &ADMINISTRATIVE FRAMEWORK
A.ADB POLICY
30. ADB requires the consideration of environmental issues in all aspects of ADB’s Operations, and
the requirements for environmental assessment are described in ADB SPS, 2009. This states
that ADB requires environmental assessment of all ADB investments.
31. Screening and categorization. The nature of the environmental assessment required for a
project depends on the significance of its environmental impacts, which are related to the type
and location of the project; the sensitivity, scale, nature, and magnitude of its potential impacts;
and the availability of cost-effective mitigation measures. Projects are screened for their expected
environmental impacts, and are assigned to one of the following four categories:
(i) CategoryA.Projectscould have significant adverseenvironmental impacts. An EIA
isrequiredtoaddresssignificantimpacts.
(ii) CategoryB.Projectscould have some adverseenvironmental impacts, but
oflesserdegreeorsignificance thanthosein category A.AnIEE isrequired to determine whether
significantenvironmental impactswarranting an EIAare likely.Ifan EIA isnot needed, theIEE
isregarded asthefinal environmental Assessment report.
(iii) CategoryC.Projectsare unlikelyto have adverse environmental impacts. No EIA orIEEis
required, although environmental implications arereviewed.
(iv) CategoryFI.Projectsinvolve acreditlinethrough afinancial intermediaryor an equity investment
in afinancial intermediary. Thefinancial intermediary mustapplyan environmental
managementsystem, unless all projectswill resultininsignificantimpacts.
32. Environmental management plan. An EMP, which addresses the potential impacts and risks
identified by the environmental assessment, shall be prepared. The level of detail and complexity
of the EMP and the priority of the identified measures and actions will be commensurate with the
project’s impact and risks.
B.NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTALLAWS
33. The GoI EIA Notification of 2006 (replacing the EIA Notification of 1994), sets out the requirement
for Environmental Assessment in India. This states that Environmental Clearance (EC) is
required for specified activities/projects, and this must be obtained before any construction work
or land preparation (except land acquisition) may commence. Projects are categorized as A or B
depending on the scale of the project and the nature of its impacts.
34. Category A projects requires EC from the central Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF).
The proponent is required to provide preliminary details of the project in the prescribed manner
with all requisite details, after which an Expert Appraisal Committee (EAC) of the MoEF prepares
comprehensive Terms of Reference (ToR) for the EIA study. On completion of the study and
review of the report by the EAC, MoEF considers the recommendation of the EAC and provides
the EC if appropriate.
35. Category B projects require environmental clearance from the State Environment Impact
Assessment Authority (SEIAA). The State level EAC categorizes the project as either B1
(requiring EIA study) or B2 (no EIA study), and prepares ToR for B1 projects within 60 days. On
36
completion of the study and review of the report by the EAC, the SEIAA issues the EC based on
the EAC recommendation. The Notification also provides that any project or activity classified as
category B will be treated as category A if it is located in whole or in part within 10 km from the
boundary of protected areas, notified areas or inter-state or international boundaries.
36. None of the component of this water supply sub project under the ambit of the EIA Notification
2006, and therefore, EC is not required for the subproject.
37. Besides EIA Notification 2006, there are various other Acts, Rules, Policies and Regulations
currently in force in India that deal with environmental issues that could apply to infrastructure
Development. The specific regulatory compliance requirements of the subproject are shown in
Table 2.

The rule shall apply to everyone who generates construction and demolition waste such as building materials, debris, rubble waste resulting from construction, re-modeling, repair and demolition of any civil structure of individual and organization.
Rule will be applicable as construction and demolition waste will be generated during excavation and construction work.
38. ADB SPS Requirements. During the design, construction, and operation of the project the PMU
and PIUs are required to apply pollution prevention and control technologies and practices consistent with international good practice, as reflected in internationally recognized standards such as the World Bank Group’s Environment, Health and Safety Guidelines. These standards contain performance levels and measures that are normally acceptable and applicable to projects. When Government of India regulations differ from these levels and measures, the PMU and PIUs will achieve whichever is more stringent. If less stringent levels or measures are appropriate in view of specific project circumstances, the PMU and PIUs will provide full and detailed justification for any proposed alternatives that are consistent with the requirements presented in ADB SPS. International acceptable air and noise quality guidelines are provided below:

V. DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT
A. METHODOLOGY USED FOR BASELINE STUDY
39. Data collection and stakeholder consultations. Data for this study has been
primarily collected through literature survey, discussion with stakeholder agencies,
and field visits to the proposed subproject sites.
40. The literature survey broadly covered the following:
I. Project details, reports, maps, and other documents prepared by technical
experts of design consultant team
II. Discussions with technical experts, municipal authorities, relevant government
agencies like WRD, Forest Department, MPPCB, etc.
III. Secondary data from previous project reports & published articles, if any, and
IV. Literature on land use, soil, geology, hydrology, climate, socioeconomic, and
planning documents collected from Government agencies and websites.
41. Ocular inspection. Several visits to the project sites were made during IEE
preparation period in 2016 to assess the existing environment (physical, biological,
and socioeconomic) and gather information with regard to the proposed sites and
scale of the proposed project. A separate socioeconomic study was conducted to
determine the demographic information, existing service levels, stakeholder needs
and priorities.

7 Surface
Water
Sapana River: Sapana
River is not a perennial
river. A Sapana Dam
was constructed on the
Sapana River. This river
flows mostly during the
rainy season and
remains dry almost 8
months of a year. There
is no assurance to
getting the 100% water
demand of Betul Bazar
town during the entire
year.
Sapana Dam: This is an
irrigation project, located
in Betul district
of Madhya Pradesh. It is
an earthen dam with a
maximum height of 21.94
m above deepest
foundation. It is
constructed on Sapana
river, a tributary
of Narmada River. The
construction was started
in the year 1952 and
completed in the year
1956. Its live storage
capacity is 14.31MCM.
There are five water body
situated in the municipal
boundary, Bel river is 5kms from
town.
The irrigation tanks at Sasundra
Dam and Sapna Dam having
capacity of 4.60 MCM looking to
the water required for irrigation
and the Full tank capacity the
tanks cannot spare any water
quantity for water supply of
Amla.
Narmada river is 100kms from
town.Looking to the large
distance and high pumping,
bringing water from Narmada
will be not only very high in
terms of Capex but also in Opex.
Tapti is 50kms from the town
which is not perennial.
Machana river is 2okms, the
entire flow of river is being
tapped and used by municipal
council betul hence any
additional water quantity for WS
from river is not possible.
Satpura Reservoir: This is a
power project, located in
Betul district of Madhya
Pradesh. It is an gravity dam
with a maximum height of
120 feet above deepest
foundation. It is constructed
on Tawa River a tributary
of Narmada River. The
construction was started in
the year 1964 and completed
in the year 1967. Its live
storage capacity is 110.37
MCM while the revised
capacity is 75.43 MCM.

from 2013 to 2014.The
groundwater samples are
being collected from
The maximum available water at
present from groundwater
sources is upto 1.00 MLD, from
which the average water supply
is only 33 liters per capita per
day in comparison to 70 lpcd as

month of May every year.
The quality of ground
water in district is being
described by the analysis
of groundwater samples
from 23 ground water
monitoring wells. The
analysis of water
samples for year 2012
indicate that the electrical
conductivity (EC) values
were found in the range
of 262 and 16700 us/cm
at 250C. The nitrate in
ground water of Betul
district is varying
between 1.3-156 mg/l.
Nitrate more than
100mg/l was found in
only one village namely
Nimpani(145 mg/l). The
higher concentration of

10 Ecology The project area –
municipal area of Betul
Bazar Nagar Parishad,
comprises the habital
area of Betul Bazar town.
There is no ecological
sensitive feature like
forest in the project area.
Flora and fauna found in
the area is of local
species. Aquatic life in
the project areas is not
notable.
There are no ecologically
sensitive area comes under the
proposed subproject. Streams
are seasonal, so there is no
noticeable aquatic life. Flora and
fauna found in the area is of
local species
Most part of Betul district is
under thick forest and Sarni
Municipal area is landlocked
from all sides these protected
forest. These reserve forest
limits the growth of Sarni
municipal area and it future
outgrowth. But under the
boundary of Sarni municipal
corporation, there is no
ecological and environmental
sensitive flora and fauna.
None of proposed water
supply component is comes
under forest area.
Satpura National Park is
around 91 Km away from the
municipal boundary limits of
Sarni town and Source.
Source Satpura Reservoir is
touching the boundary limits
of Sarni town and around
6.70 Km away from the town.
Hence both Sarni town and
source Satpura Reservoir is
not coming in the Satpura
National Park area.

Agriculture
and
Industry
Out of total area 60%
(100.8 Ha) was under
residential land use in
2011. Around 2% (3.36
Ha) of total town area is
under commercial use,
which is inadequate as
recommended under
UDPFI Guidelines (3-4 %
of the total land should
be under commercial
use). Commercial
Over the last decade the
industrial development has
shown a declining graph, due to
thievery fact that there is
declining share of land for
industrial development. A major
emphasis was given to promote
the industrial area in Amla.But
the industrial base in the city
could not be developed as
expected due to shortage of
electricity and Water. There
The total area of Sarni as
given in the records of MCS
is 3541.822 hectares. Out
of these 3541.822 hectares
of land, 1207.030 hectares of
land is available
for development; most of
which falls under Forest and
Revenue jurisdiction. Out of
the total developed land of
1921.241 hectares, 720
hectares (37.48 per cent) is
45
activities are mainly
concentrated along the
major roads of the city
and in the form of
informal activities spread
over the city. In 2011,
city lacks in industrial
area. Only 1% (1.68 ha)
of the town is under
industrial use which is
very less as compared to
the UDPFI guidelines.
4% (6.72 Ha) area of the
city is covered under
public-semi-public uses
while 8% (13.44 ha) of
land is under
Public Utilities and
Facilities.There are not
any large or small scale
industries in the town.
The town has been
generating its economy
from its agricultural
resources. The economic
base of the town is
predominantly agriculture
and agro based
products, though it is
changing into tertiary
sector (mainly shops,
market based activities)
with declining Household
units. The cash crops
which thrive in agriculture
sector are Sugarcane
and Cotton
exists no large-scale industry in
the city. The main industrial units
in Amla are:-
• Stone crushers
• Gur Preparation
• Saw Mill

structure
and
Transport
The town is well
connected to surrounding
areas andrest of the
country by State
Highway 26 (Alirajpur-
Chindwara) & National
Highway 69(Bhopal-
Nagpur). Settlements
neighboring the town are
connected through major
district roads (MDRs).
Traffic & Transportation: The
road network system of Amla is
radial in nature. The Density of
roads in Amla is 4.185 km/ sq.
km.
Sarni has developed along
Ghoradongri-Sarni road with
all major roads and regional
linkages in a perpendicular
pattern to Ghoradongri-Sarni
road in the past. The
commercial activity
predominantly have
developed along the
Ghoradongri-Sarni road (the
major artery of the city),
beginning at the Ghoradongri
Station and end at Satpura
Thermal Power station.
The main streets of the town
are in working condition but it
often leads to frequent
choking due to growing traffic
in Sarni. Absence of other
infrastructure viz. footpaths,
road marking, rotary, railing
etc. leads to reduction in
traffic speed. A Traffic
Volume Count Survey has
been conducted in the city to
understand the
characteristics of the traffic at
critical locations. The detailed
road map of Sarni has been
developed from satellite
imagery for better
understanding of land use
and road density. The traffic
speed on the main road is
very slow particularly during
the peak hours as per the
survey. Width of the main
artery and roads in the city is
10 to 25 meters and the
width of other major roads is
5 to 10 meters

Only 10% area of the
town is covered with
drainage network which
includes both pucca and
kutcha drains. Drainage
network of length 7.65
km has been laid along
major roads in the form
of open drains. Flooding
occurs in all the low

14 Solid Waste
Management
There is no practice of
segregation of recyclable
waste at source, evading
possibility of reduction in
quantity of waste
generation at source.
Such waste on streets or
in the bins of Betul Bazar

sites un-segregated. In
the absence of practice
of segregation of waste
at source, rag pickers
pick up part of this waste
in soiled condition.
Currently, there is no
system of door to door

16 History and
culture and
tourism
Betul Bazar town came
into existence first but
couldn’t develop due to the local farmer’s
resistance for railway line
across the town. Hence,
Betul was opted for rail
link in the district
which caused faster
development due to
increase in trade and
commerce. It has
become a Mandi town.
There are no protected or
notable historical, cultural or
tourism places in the town.
One of the most conspicuous
sites of Sarni is
a Shiva temple overlooking
the town from Mathardev
peak, which is the highest
point, approximately 3,500 ft
(1,100 m) (from sea level),
among neighboring hills of
Satpura ranges. The peak as
well as the temple are named
after a legendary tribal chief
named Mathardev. The
legendary chief commands
strong following among the
local and neighboring
population.

VI ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES
A. INTRODUCTION
43. Potential environmental impacts of the proposed infrastructure components arepresented in this section. Measures to minimize/mitigate negative impacts, if any, are recommended along with the agency responsible for implementation. Monitoring actions to be conducted during the implementation phase is also recommended.
44. Screening of potential environmental impacts are categorized into four categories considering
subproject phases: location impacts and design impacts (pre-construction phase), construction phase impacts and operations and maintenance phase impacts.
a. Location impacts include impacts associated with site selection and include loss of on-site
biophysical array and encroachment either directly or indirectly on adjacent environments. It also includes impacts on people who will lose their livelihood or any other structures by the development of that site.
b. Design impacts include impacts arising from Investment Program design, including technology used, scale of operation/throughput, waste production, discharge specifications, pollution sources and ancillary services.
c. Construction impacts include impacts caused by site clearing, earthworks, machinery, vehicles and workers. Construction site impacts include erosion, dust, noise, traffic congestion and waste production.
d. O&M impacts include impacts arising from the operation and maintenance activities of the infrastructure facility. These include routine management of operational waste streams, and occupational health and safety issues.
45. Screening of environmental impacts has been based on the impact magnitude
(negligible/moderate/severe – in the order of increasing degree) and impact duration (temporary/permanent).
46. This section of the IEE reviews possible project-related impacts, in order to identify issues requiring
further attention and screen out issues of no relevance. ADB SPS (2009) require that impacts and risks will be analyzed during pre-construction, construction, and operational stages in the context of the project’s area of influence.
47.The ADB Rapid Environmental Assessment Checklist in
http://www.adb.org/documents/guidelines/environmental_assessment/eaguidelines002.aspis used to screen project for environmental impacts and to determine the scope of the IEE.
48. In the case of this project (i) most of the individual elements are relatively small and involve
straightforward construction and operation, so impacts will be mainly localized and not greatly significant;(ii) proposed water abstraction from the sources is very small compared to overall water availability, and necessary water allocations are being made from Water Resources Department(iii) most of the predicted impacts are associated with the construction process, and are produced because that process is invasive, involving excavation and earth movements; and some works are located in the reservoir and (iv) being mostly located in an urban area, will not cause direct impact on biodiversity values. The project will be in properties held by the local government and access to the project location is through public rights-of-way and existing roads hence, land acquisition and encroachment on private property will not occur.
62
B. PRE-CONSTRUCTIONIMPACTS–DESIGN &LOCATION
49. Design of the Proposed Components. Technical design of the (i) intake facilities, (ii) water treatment
plant; (iii) raw water and clear water mains, (iv) storage reservoirs, and (v) distribution network,
connections, flow meters, etc., follows the relevant national planning and design guidelines, focusing on
providing a robust system which is easy to operate, sustainable, efficient and economically viable.
Besides, the project also included the following environmental considerations:
(i)Discontinuation ofcurrentunsustainablegroundwater sourceandcreatinga newcomprehensive
watersupplysystembasedon a nearestsurfacewater source
(ii) Recoveringwash water from treatment process.
(iii) Treatment andreuseof sludgefrom treatment process
(iv)Minimizingwaterlossesfrompipelinesbyperfect jointingandalignments usingappropriatetechniques(HDPE

50. Water Source Selection and SustainabilityAs the subproject towns are located far from each other there was no possibility of a combined source/ bulk water scheme. Therefore, independent water supply schemes are proposed for 4 towns separately based on the most feasible water source considering techno-economic and environmental considerations as elucidated below .
A. BETUL-BAZAR
51. Present water supply arrangements are not adequate and ground water source level is depleting day by
day, therefore water scarcity conditions are arising. Water supply losses during transmission are also
very high i.e. more than 46%, that leads to a high energy consumption and loss of ULB. Presently water
will be supplied only for 45 min on alternate days.
52.Water Source: For the water supply of Betul Bazar town, water source studies done.
There appears to be three optional sources:
(i) Extracting Ground Water
(ii) Sapana River
(iii) Sapana Dam
(iv) Tapti River – Tapping on Raw Water Rising Main of Betul WSS
63
53. Presently only 0.40MLD of water is being supplied through ground sources like 7 nos of tube wells, 28 nos of Hand Pumps & 3 nos of open well.These entire sources are giving very less yield. Based on the available data the present tube wells may supply water to the town at the tune of maximum 0.24 MLD. Below data / graphs from the Central Ground Water Board, Ministry of Water Resources and The groundwater samples are being collected from each monitoring wells during the month of May every year. The quality of ground water in district is being described by the analysis of groundwater samples from 23 ground water monitoring wells. The analysis of water samples for year 2012 indicate that the electrical conductivity (EC) values were found in the range of 262 and 16700 us/cm at 250C. The nitrate in ground water of Betul district is varying between 1.3-156 mg/l. Nitrate more than 100mg/l was found in only one village namely Nimpani (145 mg/l). The higher concentration of NO3 may be due to excessive use of fertilized and localized pollution.
54. Sapna River and Sapna Dam. Sapana River is not a perennial river. A Sapana Dam was constructed on the Sapana River.This river flows mostly during the rainy season and remains dry almost 8 months of a year.There is no assurance to getting the 100% water demand of Betul Bazar town during the entire year..Since water quality test for deciding source to be taken as water source, it is proved to be good source based on the water sample test reports obtained from recognized PHED Laboratory, Bhopal .The basic parameters of quality of raw water are proved to be good since pH is 7.62 which is well within the permissible limit of 6.5 to 8.5 (said to Excellent Source), total Chlorides found is 10 mg/ltr which is around 50 mg/lit (said to Excellent Source) and Fluoride is 0.0 mg/ltr which is less than 1 mg/ltr (said to Excellent Source), Nitrates found is 1.0 mg/ltr which is much less than the permissible limitsof 45 mg/ltr (said to Excellent Source). Due to the non availability of water in Sapana Dam, it is not selected as source for Betul-Bazar WSS.
55. Other than these four options, there is not water body nearby the Betul Bazar town to consider as a
water source for proposed Water Supply Scheme of town. A water supply scheme for Betul city is
under construction. Tapti river is taken as water source in this scheme. The raw water feeder mains for
Betul city will cross through Betul Bazar. So, trapping of this raw water rising mains of Betul city WSS is
found economical for supplying water in Betul Bazar.
56. Tapti River is flowing from the south- west direction of the Betul Bazar and is approximately 25 km from
the town. It is proposed to construct barrage on Tapti River on Betul – Amravati Road. The designed
storage capacity of the weir will be 1.50 MCM. On the upstream to this weir i.e. 56 Kms, a dam near
Parasdoh is under construction. Apart from this 5 MCM water shall be regulated from the dam to be
constructed on upstream side of Tapti River near Parasdoh and will be available at proposed weir site.
A commitment has been obtained to get 5 MCM water from Parasdoh Dam. Thus the total water
availability at barge is 6.50 MCM.
57. The approximate catchment area of Tapti River upto the proposed weir is 800 Sq Km. The approximate
runoff for average rainfall of 1132 mm works out 1000 Cumecs. The height of barge is being proposed
as 9.0 m, having foundation depth of 2.0 m and height above bed level 7.00 m with length of weir as
170 m.
58. After losses, 5 MCM water is available in the weir to be supplied to Betul. In this weir 1.10 MLD (for
Ultimate Stage of Design) is allocated for Betul Bazar. For drawl of 14.30 MLD (Cumulative water
demand of Betul and Betul Bazar) an Intake Well having diameter 6.00 m and height of 15.0 m shall be
64
constructed near proposed weir at Tapti River.Average Water Resource Potential is 14880 (MCM) and
Utilizable Surface Water Resource 14500 (MCM)
59. Water Quantity Security:-For the Betul Bazar town, the demand of water supply for the year 2018, 2033 &
2048 are estimated to the tune of 0.95 MLD, 1.05 MLD & 1.10 MLD respectively. Thus maximum of 1.10
MLD intake form the source per annum i.e. 402 ML (0.40 MCM) of drawl of water is to be ensured. Annual
average recoupment of water in the tank every year is around 6.50 MCM. While the recoupment of water
during rainy season is 6.50 MCM which is 16 times than the annual water demand of Betul Bazar town.
60. The tapping location is in the reachable scratch from the core Betul Bazar town and located in Tehsil –
Betul, Dist - Betul. The location is around 5.50 km away from Betul Bazar town. Hence Tapping raw water
from tapti river has taken as water sustainable source for proposed water supply system.
Figure 15: Ground water TableBetul-Bazar
65
B. AMLA TOWN
69. Source Identification The design population of Amla for the year 2048 is 43,500. Presently Amla is
getting 1.00 MLD water from Tube Wells & Well. In a longer period ground water sources cannot be
considered dependable and economical for urban water supply. It is therefore proposed to supply water
from the surface sources. For supplying potable water from the surface source, the various water sources
in and around the project vicinity has been examined. Following are the possible source.
70. Sources available in the vicinity of project area
(a) Bel River: - Flowing in south east direction of the town. The is a sub tributary of Kanhan River which is
a tributary of Weinganga River. The river is the approximately 5 km from the town. It is not a perennial source. Due to small catchment, flow creases by the end of March every year.In the absence of flow station on the banks of River, no flow data is available. The details of flow have been verified from the local residents. For drawing of 3.60 MLD raw water from the river, a storage structure shall be required having sufficient capacity for storing water for the period of 5 months in a year. Thus the storage capacity required shall be 0.90Mcum.
(b) The irrigation tanks at Sasundra Dam and Sapna Dam having capacity of 4.60 MCMand 16.90 MCM respectively. Looking to the irrigation area. The irrigation area (CCA) attached to Sasundra and Sapna Dam is 500Ha. And 2200Ha. respectively. The wastewater required for irrigation purposes is 3.80 MCM and 14.30 MCM. Thus looking to the water required for irrigation and the Full tank capacity the tanks cannot spare any water quantity for water supply of Amla.
(c) The perennial River like Narmada which is approximately 100 km from Amla. Looking to the large distance and high pumping, bringing water from Narmada will be not only very high in terms of Capex but also in Opex.
(d) Tapti is the most prominent river in the vicinity of project area and is approximately 50 kms from the town. The river is not perennial and some storage structure shall be required to be constructed for drawl of water for water supply to Amla.
(e) Machana River is approximately 20 km. The entire flow of the river is being tapped and used by
Municipal Council Betul for water supply of Betul. Hence getting any additional water quantity for the water supply of Amla from Machana will not be possible.
71. Most Suitable source of water supply: Looking to the above, Bel River is most suitable dependable
/sustainable surface source of water supply because of the water availability to Amla.
Since the river is not perennial & the river flow crease by the month of February-March every year, it is
proposed to construct a Barrage of 5.0 m height from average bed level near Lalawadi Road on Bel River
for supplying water all the year round. For this reconnaissance survey is being carried out from 07/03/2016
to 11/03/2016 in the river. Looking to the banks and approachability, the most appropriate location for
construction of barrage is near Lalawadi Road. The maximum capacity of barrage at FTL 714 m above
MSL is coming as 0.88Mcum.
66
The catchment area upto the proposed weir site is 200 km2approximately. With the annual average rainfall
of 1212.275 mm (Betul district) & taking coefficient of runoff as 0.20 (for average catchment and average
rainfall, no continuous downpore), the yield at Barrage point is 48.48Mcum. Looking to the yield, the gross
capacity of Barrage of 0.88Mcum is 100% assured.
72. Out of the available gross capacity of proposed Barrage on Bel River, taking 35-40% losses on account of
evaporation, seepage and pilferage the net useful capacity shall be 0.54Mcum which will be sufficient for
supplying water @ 70lpcd to the design population of Amla, for 150 days in a year
73. Source water sustainability and environmental considerations. In Amla, water is proposed to be sourced
from the nearest Bel River. To ensure water availability during the no-flow period, a weir is proposed. Water quality is good. Therefore, no negative impacts envisaged on existing water uses or ecosystem. The catchment area upto the proposed weir site is 200 sqkms. With the annual average rainfall of 1212.275 mm & taking coefficient of runoff as 0.20, the yieldat weir point is 48.48 MCum. Looking to the yield, the gross capacity of weir of 0.88 MCum is assured. There is no storage structure on the downstream of the weir and the aquatic life is least in the river which results in no major negative impact on ecosystem and aquatic life. Its water quality report is given in table 8, which suggests that the water is according to the standard of drinking.

74. This is a weir, with a height of just 6 m above the river bed level (same as depth of river banks), thus confining the submergence to river course itself. The main purpose of this weir is to recharge the riverbed, and not for direct abstraction from the storage, and will ensure adequate water availability to meet the demand of no-flow period (4-5) months in summer. There is no gauging station on the proposed river by the WRD, but after consultation with local people it is concluded that flow of river ceases in the month of December- January.
75. Impacts due to Weir on downstream users and ecosystem:There is one existing dam of Railways which is in abandoned stage. Its is approx 6000 m downstream from the proposed weir from Amla.Weir will be solid structure (built in RCC) and will have no arrangements to increase/decrease the height (such as operable gates) or release or hold water beyond/below the fixed dam height. Given very small storage, weir will be filled at the first monsoon flow itself, and will continue to be full throughout (as no abstraction, except for the evaporation and infiltration losses), and the water coming from the upstream will overflow freely. Therefore the change in flow regime due to this small dam will be negligible on downstream users and river eco system.The proposed impoundment, in fact, is likely to benefit the environment through groundwater recharge and propagating aquatic life. Water quality is suitable for drinking water after conventional treatment and disinfection, and there are no notable pollution sources. No negative impacts thus envisaged. If we talk about upstream, there is one weir which is 6.5 kms away from the proposed weir. Hence there is no encouragement of water from any weir present in upstream and downstream. It is a good location as it is easy approachable and the cross section of river is suitable for the construction of a weir.

C. SARNI
76. A new water supply scheme is needs to be implemented for population for the of 135100souls for a year
2048 (Ultimate Year of Design) considering 135 LPCD water supply and source as surface source to
ensure adequate quantity, quality and desired pressure at doorstep of each household as per the
Guidelines of MPUSIP. The design base year for the proposed WSS is taken as 2018, in which population
is likely to be reached 95500 and water demand will be 16.30 MLD.
77. Selection of water source for the water supply of Sarni town, water source studies done. There appears
to be three optional sources:
✓ Extracting Ground Water
✓ Satpura Reservoir
✓ Constructing Dam on Tawa River at Tiliyadoh
78. The groundwater level of Sarni town I depleted very rapidly. It reduces from 2m to 4m just from 2013 to
2014. The groundwater samples are being collected from each monitoring wells during the month of May
every year by CGWB. The quality of ground water in district is being described by the analysis of
groundwater samples from 23 ground water monitoring wells. The analysis of water samples for year 2012
indicate that, the electrical conductivity (EC) values were found in the range of 262 and 16700 us/cm at
25°C. The nitrate in ground water of Betul district is varying between 1.3-156 mg/l Nitrate more than 100
mg/l was found in only one village namely Nimpani (145 mg/l). The higher concentration of NO3 may be
due to excessive use of fertilizer and localized pollution.Therefore it is not the suitable source.
79. Quality Assurance of Satpura Reservoir:Presently entire water supply of entire Sarni town is based on
Satpura Reservoir. The quality of water is already assured since it is already being used as a water
source. Still water sample from Satpura reservoir was collected and submitted in PHE Laboratory for
testing purpose. Test report is found adequate for drinking water purpose. Water quality test of Satpura
reservoir has been done as per drinking water standard and it was found that all the parameter comes
under the permissible limit. The water analysis report of Satpura reservoir is given in Appendix – 12.
80. Water Quantity Security: For the Sarni town, the demand of water supply for the year 2018, 2033 & 2048
are estimated to the tune of 16.30 MLD, 19.70 MLD &23.10 MLD respectively. Thus maximum of 23.10
MLD intake form the source per annum i.e. 8431 ML (8.43 MCM) of drawl of water is to be ensured. Annual
average recoupment of water in the tank every year is around 75.43 MCM. While the recoupment of water
during rainy season is 75.43 MCM which is 10 times than the annual water demand of Sarni town.
81. Other than these three options, there is no water body present nearby vicinity of the Sarni town to consider
as a water source for proposed Water Supply Scheme of town. Ground water level in Sarni is very low to
supply the water in Town. Tawa river is generally dry in summer season, so found not adequate to as water
source. For the proposed water supply scheme, Satpura Reservoir is found adequate for the water supply
in Sarni town after analyzing all the tree water sources. The location of Satpura dam is in the reachable
scratch from the core Sarni town and located in Tehsil – Sarni, Dist - Betul. The dam is around 7.00 km
away from Sarni town. Satpura reservoir is found adequate source for Sarni Water Supply Scheme due to
71
its adequacy in terms of quality as well quantity. After water analysis of Satpura Reservoir, it is found that
all the parameter is beyond the drinking water standard.
Figure 18: Ground water table Sarni
82. Use of Chlorine as disinfectant. It is proposed to use chlorine at WTP to disinfect the water prior to supply to consumers. There is invariably a safety risk when chlorine is handled. Although facilities are not located close to habitations, safety precautions are necessary to ensure the safety of workers and citizens. To avoid any risk, the chlorination facility will be provided with the following:
• Chlorine neutralization pit with a lime slurry feeder
• Proper ventilation, lighting, entry and exit facilities
• Facility for isolation in the event of major chlorine leakage
• Personal protection and safety equipment for the operators in the chlorine plant
• Provide training to the staff in safe handling and application of chlorine; this shall be included in the contract of Chlorinator supplier
72
• Supplier of Chlorinator equipment shall provide standard operating manual for safe operation and as well as maintenance and repairs; preferably these shall be provided both in English and Hindi Languages
73
83. Utilities Telephone lines, electric poles and wires, water lines within the proposed project
locations may require to be shifted in few cases. To mitigate the adverse impacts due to relocation
of the utilities, the contractor, in collaboration with ULBs will (i) identify the locations and operators
of these utilities to prevent unnecessary disruption of services during construction phase; and (ii)
instruct construction contractors to prepare a contingency plan to include actions to be done in
case of unintentional interruption of services.
84. Site selection of construction work camps, stockpile areas, storage areas, and disposal
areas: Priority is to locate these near the project location. However, if it is deemed necessary to
locate elsewhere, sites to be considered will not promote instability and result in destruction of
property, vegetation, irrigation, and drinking water supply systems. Residential areas will not be
considered for setting up construction camps to protect the human environment (i.e., to curb
accident risks, health risks due to air and water pollution and dust, and noise, and to prevent social
conflicts, shortages of amenities, and crime). Extreme care will be taken to avoid disposals near
forest areas, water bodies, or in areas which will inconvenience the community.
85. Site selection of sources of materials. Significant quantities of coarse aggregate and fine
aggregate will be required for construction works. Requirement of gravel is limited. Contractor
should procure these materials only from the quarries permitted/licensed by Mines and Geology
Department. Contractor should, to the maximum extent possible, procure material from existing
quarries, and creation of new quarry areas should be avoid as far as possible. It will be the
construction contractor’s responsibility to verify the suitability of all material sources and to obtain
the approval of Department of Mines & Geology and local revenue administrat.
C, CONSTRUCTION IMPACT
86. The construction work is expected not to cause major negative impacts, mainly because:
(i) most of the activities will be on the built-up areas of towns and/or existing RoWs thus could
be constructed without causing impacts to biodiversity;
(ii) most of the sites are located on government-owned land which is not occupied or used for
any other purpose;
(iii) overall construction program will be relatively short and is expected to be completed in
24 months with activities to conducted by small teams and specifiedlocation so most
impacts will be localized and short in duration; and
(i) Most of the predicted impacts associated with the construction process are
produced because the process is invasive, such as involving excavation.
However, the routine nature of the impacts means that most can be easily
mitigated and the impacts are clearly a result of the construction process rather
than the design or location, as impacts will not occur if excavation or other ground
disturbance is not involved.
74
87. As a result, there are several aspects of the environment which are not expected to be
affected by the construction process and these can be screened out of the assessment at this
stage as required by ADB procedure. These are shown in following Table8. These
environmental factors are screened out presently but will be assessed again before starting
the construction activities.
Table9: Environmental component to be affected
Field Rationale
Topography, Soils, and Geology
Activities are not large enough to affect these features.
Climate Activities are not large enough to affect this feature.
Air Quality Short-term production of dust is the only effect on atmosphere
Groundwater Activities will not be large enough to affect these features
Flora and Fauna No rare or endangered species in the landfill site.
Economic Development Activities are not large enough to permanently affect this feature.
Land Use No change in land use.
Socio-economic Subproject site is located entirely on government-owned land so there is no need to acquire land from private owners
Commerce, Industry, and Agriculture Activities are not large enough to affect these features
Population Activities are not large enough to affect this feature.
Health and education facilities Activities are not large enough to affect this feature.
88. Anticipated Impacts and Mitigation Measures
Although construction of the subproject components involves quite simple techniques of
civil work, the invasive nature of excavation and the subproject locations in the built-up
areas of towns. Where there are a variety of human activities, will result to impacts to the
environment and sensitive receptors such as residents, businesses, and the community
in general. These anticipated impacts are temporary and for short duration. Physical
impacts will be reduced by the method of working and scheduling of work, whereby the
project components will be (i) constructed by small teams working at a time; (ii) any
excavation done near sensitive area like school,religious places and house will be
protected as per standard norms. (iii)Busy street and bazaar area will require night work.
For night work Contractor will ensure lights not focusing on houses, (iv) Use of low noise
generator. (v) Proper sinages and barricades. (vi)Prior noticed before construction work
of a particular stretch to residences/shops etc.
75
89. Sources of Materials. Significant amount of gravel, sand, and cement will be
requiredfor this subproject. The construction contractor will be required to:
• Use quarry sites and sources permitted by government;
• Verify suitability of all material sources and obtain approval of UAED and ULB; and
• Submit to UAED on a monthly basis documentation of sources of materials.
90. Air Quality. It is most certain that work will be conducted during the dry season, so there
is potential for creating dust from the excavation of dry soil, backfilling, transportation to
disposal, and from the import and storage of sand/gravel for bedding. Emissions from
construction vehicles, equipment, and machinery used for excavation and construction
will also induce impacts on the air quality in the construction sites. Anticipated impacts
include dusts and increase in concentration of vehicle-related pollutants such as
carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides, particulate matter, nitrous oxides, and hydrocarbons) but
temporary and during construction activities only. To mitigate the impacts, construction
contractors will be required to:
• Consult with PMU/PIU on the designated areas for stockpiling of clay, soils, gravel,
and other construction materials;
• Excavate the SRs foundations at the same time as the access roads (if needed) are
built so that dug material is used immediately, avoiding the need to stockpile on site;
• Damp down exposed soil and any stockpiled on site by spraying with water when
necessary during dry weather;
• Bring materials (aggregates) as and when required;
• Use tarpaulins to cover sand and other loose material when transported by
vehicles;
• Fit all heavy equipment and machinery with air pollution control devices which are
operating correctly; and
• Clean wheels and undercarriage of vehicles prior to leaving construction site.
91. Landscape and Aesthetics. The construction work is likely to generate significant
quantities of waste soil and debris. This activity will generate wood, metal and concrete
debris. Indiscriminate disposal of the soil and waste may affect the local environment at
the disposal location. These impacts are negative but short-term and reversible by
mitigation measures. The construction contractor will be required to:
• Prepare and implement Waste Management Plan;
• Avoid stockpiling of excess excavated soils;
• Avoid disposal of any debris and waste soils in the forest areas and in or near water
bodies/rivers;
• Coordinate with ULB for beneficial uses of excess excavated soils or immediately
dispose to designated areas;
• Recover wood, metal, used oil, and lubricants and reuse or remove from the sites;
• Manage solid waste according to the following preference hierarchy: reuse, recycling
and disposal to designated areas;
76
• Remove all wreckage, rubbish, or temporary structures which are no longer
required; and
• Request UAED/PMU to report in writing that the necessary environmental restoration
work has been adequately performed before acceptance of work.
92. Accessibility. Transport infrastructure will be affected as in the narrower streets there is not
enough space for excavated soil to be piled off the road. The road itself may also be excavated
in places where there is no available land to locate pipes alongside. Traffic will therefore be
disrupted, and in some very narrow streets the whole road may need to be closed for short
periods. Potential impact is negative but short term and reversible by mitigation measures. The
construction contractor will be required to:(i)Plan pipeline work in consultation with the traffic
police; (ii) Conduct work during light traffic;(iii) Plan work such that trench excavation, pipe
laying, and refilling including compacting, at a stretch is completed in a minimum possible
time;(iv) Provide for immediate consolidation of backfilling material to desired compaction to
avoid future settlement risk - this will allow immediate road restoration and therefore will
minimize disturbance to the traffic movement;(v) Do not close the road completely, ensure that
work is conducted onto edge of the road; allow traffic to move on one line;(vi) In unavoidable
circumstances of road closure, provide alternative routes, and ensure that public is
informed about such traffic diversions;(viii) At all work sites public information/caution boards
shall be provided – information shall inter-alia include: project name, cost and schedule;
executing agency and contractor details; nature and schedule of work at that road/locality;
traffic diversion details, if any; entry restriction information; competent official’s name and contact for public complaints.
93. Socio-Economic – Income. Excavation will obstruct access to residences/commercial
building. Disruption of access to commercial establishments may affect livelihood. Since many
of the roads are narrow, construction activities may also obstruct traffic. The potential impacts
are negative and moderate but short-term and temporary. The construction contractor will be
required to:
(i) Leave space for access between mounds of excavated soil;
(ii) Provide wooden planks/footbridges for pedestrians and metal sheets for
vehicles to allow access across trenches to premises where
required;Consult affected businesspeople to inform them in advance when
work will occur;
94. Socio-Economic – Employment. Manpower will be required during the 24 months
construction stage. This can result to generation of contractual employment and increase
in local revenue. Thus potential impact is positive and long-term. The construction
contractor will be required to:
• Employ at least 50% of the labour force, or to the maximum extent, local persons
within the 2-km immediate area if manpower is available; and
• Secure construction materials from local market.
95. Occupational Health and safety. Workers need to be mindful of the occupational
77
hazards which can arise from working in height and excavation works. Potential impacts
are negative and long-term but reversible by mitigation measures. The construction
contractor will be required to:
(i) Develop and implement site-specific Health and safety (EHS) Plan which will
include assures such as: (a) excluding public from the site; (b) ensuring all workers
are provided with and use Personal Protective Equipment; (c) EHS Training for
all site personnel; (d) documented procedures to be followed for all site activities;
and (e) documentation of work-related accidents;
(ii) Ensure that qualified first-aid can be provided at all times. Equipped first-aid
stations shall be easily accessible throughout the site;
(iii) Provide medical insurance coverage for workers;
(iv) Secure all installations from unauthorized intrusion and accident risks;
(v) Provide supplies of potable drinking water;
(vi) Provide clean eating areas where workers are not exposed to hazardous or
noxious substances;
(vii) Provide EHS orientation training to all new workers to ensure that they are
apprised of the basic site rules of work at the site, personal protective protection, and
preventing injuring to fellow workers;
(viii) Provide visitor orientation if visitors to the site can gain access to areas where
hazardous conditions or substances may be present. Ensure also that visitor/s do not
enter hazard areas unescorted;
(ix) Ensure the visibility of workers through their use of high visibility vests when
working in or walking through heavy equipment operating areas;
(x) Ensure moving equipment is outfitted with audible back-up alarms;
(xi) Mark and provide sign boards for hazardous areas such as energized electrical
devices and lines, service rooms housing high voltage equipment, and areas for
storage and disposal. Signage shall be in accordance with international standards
and be well known to, and easily understood by workers, visitors, and the general
public as appropriate; and
(xii) Disallow worker exposure to noise level greater than 85 dBA for duration of more
than 8 hours per day without hearing protection. The use of hearing protection shall
be enforced actively.
96. Noise Levels. The construction and excavation activities will certainly generate noise and
vibrations. The sensitive receptors are the general population in these areas. Noise will be
for a short term (about 2-3 days at each location) thus impact is negative, short-term, and
reversible by mitigation measures. The construction contractor will be required to:
• Plan activities in consultation with PMU/PIU so that activities with the greatest potential
to generate noise are conducted during periods of the day which will result in least
disturbance;
• Provide prior information to the local public about the work schedule;
78
• Require horns not be used unless it is necessary to warn other road users or animals
of the vehicle’s approach;
• Ensure that there are no old and sensitive buildings that may come under risk due to
the use of pneumatic drills; if there is risk
• Minimize noise from construction equipment by using vehicle silencers, fitting
jackhammers with noise-reducing mufflers, and portable street barriers the sound
impact to surrounding sensitive receptor; and
• Maintain maximum sound levels not exceeding 80 decibels (dbA) when measured at a
distance of 10 m or more from the vehicle/s.
D. Potential Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures: Operation And
Maintenance Impacts
97. Operation and Maintenance of the water supply system will be carried out by Amla Nagar
Parishad directly or through an external operator. During the system design life (15/30 years for mechanical/civil components) it shall not require major repairs or refurbishments and should operate with little maintenance beyond routine actions required to keep the equipment in working order. The stability and integrity of the system will be monitored periodically to detect any problems and allow remedial action if required. Any repairs will be small-scale involving manual, temporary, and short-term works involving regular checking and recording of performance for signs of deterioration, servicing and replacement of parts.
98. Recurrence of pipe bursting and leakage problems can be manage by the leak detection
and water auditing surveys. The ULB will be required to ensure that the leak detection and rectification time is minimized.
99. Water treatment process will generate sludge from sedimentation of particulate matter in raw
water, flocculated and precipitated material resulting from chemical coagulation, residuals of excess chemical dosage, plankton etc; and waste from rinsing and back washing of filter media containing debris, chemical precipitates, straining of organic debris and plankton. Following are included in the subproject design to dispose the sludge and back wash:
100. Provision for recirculation system for filter backwash water from filter beds will be sent to
a storage tank, and after allowing adequate time for settlement of solids, clarified water will be pumped to WTP inlet. This arrangement will avoid pollution and also minimize wastage of water.
101. Accumulated sludge from Tube Settler, filter backwash etc., will be disposed-off at
sludge drying beds for natural drying. Dried sludge will be disposed off in a land fill or used as soil conditioner if it is suitable.
102. Project benefitDuring the construction phase, there are likely to be positive impacts
through employment generation, increase in local revenue from the project activities. During
79
the operation phase also, there is potential for employment generation, though limited, as the improved and expanded water infrastructure requires additional workforce.
103. The citizens of Betul-Bazar, Amla and Sarni will be the major beneficiaries of the improved water supply system, as they will be provided with a constant supply of better quality water, piped into their homes at an appropriate pressure. The project will improve the over-all health condition of the towns as water borne diseases will be reduced, so people should spend less on healthcare and lose fewer working days due to illness, so their economic status should also improve, as well as their overall health. This should also improve the environment of these areas, should deliver major improvements in individual and community health and well-being.

VIII .GRIEVANCE READRESSMECHANISM
A. Project Specific Grievance Redress Mechanism
116. A program-specific grievance redress mechanism (GRM) shall be established to receive,
evaluate, and facilitate the resolution of AP’s concerns, complaints, and grievances about the social and environmental performance at the level of the project. The following GRM
provides a time-bound and transparent mechanism to voice and resolve social and
environmental concerns linked to the project.
117. A common GRM will be in place for social, environmental, or any other grievances related
to the project. The GRM will provide an accessible and trusted platform for receiving and
facilitating resolution of affected persons’ grievances related to the program. The multi- tier
GRM for the project is outlined below, each tier having time-bound schedules and with
responsible persons identified to address grievances and seek appropriate persons’ advice at each stage, as required. ULB-wide public awareness campaigns will ensure that
awareness on grievance redress procedures is generated through the campaign.
118. Who Can Complain A complaint may be brought by persons who are, or could be,
“directly, indirectly, materially, and adversely” affected by the project. A complaint can be submitted on behalf of the affected person/people by a representative, provided that he or
she identifies the affected person/people and includes evidence of the authority to act on
their behalf.
119. What the Grievance/Complain Should Contain Any concerns pertaining to safeguard
compliance - environment, involuntary resettlement, and indigenous people, design related
issues, compensation, service delivery or any other issues or concerns related to the

IX. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
A. Environmental Management Plan
127. An environmental management plan (EMP) has been developed to provide mitigation measures to reduce all negative impacts to acceptable levels.
128. The EMP will guide the environmentally-sound construction of the subproject and ensure efficient lines of communication between MPUDC, project management unit (PMU), project implementing unit (PIU), consultants and contractors. The EMP will (i) ensure that the activities are undertaken in a responsible non-detrimental manner; (i) provide a pro-active, feasible and practical working tool to enable the measurement and monitoring of environmental performance on site; (ii) guide and control the implementation of findings and recommendations of the environmental assessment conducted for the subproject; (iii) detail specific actions deemed necessary to assist in mitigating the environmental impact of the subproject; and (iv) ensure that safety recommendations are complied with. The EMP includes a monitoring program to measure the environmental condition and effectiveness of implementation of the mitigation measures. It will include observations on- and off-site, document checks, and interviews with workers and beneficiaries
129. The contractor will be required to submit to PIU, for review and approval, a site
environmental plan (SEP) including (i) proposed sites/locations for construction work camps, storage areas, hauling roads, lay down areas, disposal areas for solid and hazardous wastes; (ii) specific mitigation measures following the approved EMP; (iii) monitoring program as per SEP; and (iv) budget for SEP implementation. No works are allowed to commence prior to approval of SEP.
130. A copy of the EMP/approved SEP will be kept on site during the construction period at
all times. The EMP included in the bid and contract documents. Non-compliance with, or any deviation from, the conditions set out in this document constitutes a failure in compliance.For civil works, the contractor will be required to (i) carry out all of the mitigation and monitoring measures set forth in the approved SEP; and (ii) implement any corrective or preventative actions set out in safeguards monitoring reports that the employer will prepare from time to time to monitor implementation of this IEE and SEP. The contractor shall allocate budget for compliance with these SEP measures, requirements and actions.
130. The following tables show the potential environmental impacts, proposed mitigation
measures and responsible agencies for implementation and monitoring.
131. The purpose of the environmental management plan (EMP) is to: ensure that the activities are undertaken in a responsible, non-detrimental manner following the measures and recommendations of the environmental assessment conducted for the project, monitor and report the on-site environmental performance; and to ensure that safety recommendations are complied with.
133. A copy of the EMP must be kept at work sites at all times. This EMP will be included in
86
the bid documents and will be further reviewed and updated during implementation. The EMP will be made binding on all contractors operating on the site and will be included in the contractual clauses. Non-compliance with, or any deviation from, the conditions set out in this document constitutes a failure in compliance.
134. For civil works, the contractor will be required to (i) carry out all of the mitigation and
monitoring measures set forth in the EMP; and (ii) implement any corrective or preventative actions set out in safeguards monitoring reports that the employer will prepare from time to time to monitor implementation of this IEE and EMP. The contractor shall allocate budget for compliance with these EMP measures, requirements and actions.

E. Monitoring and Reporting
E. Immediately after mobilization and prior to commencement of the works, the contractor will submit a compliance report to PIU that all identified pre-construction mitigation measures as detailed in the EMP are undertaken. Contractor should confirm that the staff for EMP implementation (EHS & Archeological supervisors) is mobilized. PMU with the assistance of the PDMC will review the report and permit commencement of works.
F. During construction, results from internal monitoring by the contractor will be reflected in their monthly EMP implementation reports to the PIU. ASO will review and advise contractors for corrective actions if necessary. Quarterly report summarizing compliance and corrective measures taken will be PMC field team at PIU and submitted to PMU (Appendix 13). During operation, the contractor will conduct management and monitoring actions as per the operation stage EMP, and submit to PMU and ULB a quarterly report on EMP implementation and compliance.
G. Based on monthly & quarterly reports and measurements, PMU will draft, review, and submit to ADB, 6-monthly semi-annual Environmental Monitoring Report (EMR). Once concurrence from the ADB is received the report will be disclosed in the MPUDC and PMU websites.
H. ADB will review project performance against the MPUSIP commitments as agreed in the legal documents. The extent of ADB‟s monitoring and supervision activities will be commensurate with the project's risks and impacts. Monitoring and supervising of social and environmental safeguards will be integrated into the project performance management system
F. EMP Implementation Cost
145. Most of the mitigation measures require the contractors to adopt good site practice, which should be part of their normal procedures already, so there are unlikely to be major costs associated with compliance. The costs which are specific to EMP implementation and are not covered elsewhere in the projects are given below.The total costs are estimated at INR 2.73 million, which are to be covered by contractor costs.

X. CONCLUSIONAND RECOMMENDATION
146. The process described in this document has assessed the environmental impacts of all
elements of the Package 1B towns water supply improvement subproject. All potential
impacts were identified in relation to pre-construction, construction, and operation phases.
Planning principles and design considerations have been reviewed and incorporated into
the site planning and design process wherever possible; thus, environmental impacts as
being due to the project design or location were not significant.
147. There are two important location and design aspects. First, the proposed water supply
schemes include design of new water sources, that include construction of Weir (for
Amla),and tapping raw water from Tapti River for Betul-Bazar town. Details of proposed
components of Betul town is separately attached.
148. For Betul-Bazar WSS, the most appropriate water source considered is Tapti River. A
bring water supply scheme is proposed for Betul town from Tapti River. weir proposed to
be constructed on Tapti River for Betul town and water will be to pump to WTP from Tapti
River. Weir was designed considering the water demand of Betul Town.
149. For Amla town there is only one important location and design aspects; i.e. the proposed
water supply schemes include design of new water sources, that include construction of
weir.No flow data available for these river as they are not gauged by WRD. Considering
the low water requirement of town (3.60 MLD ), and almost perennial nature of river (flows
for 7-8 months a year) with very high flows during monsoon, (as gathered from local
information), it is assessed to be unlikely to have any issue of source sustainability. To
cater to the no-flow period (3-4 months), small weir is proposed. These is small weir, with a
height of just 6 m above the river bed level (same as depth of river banks), thus confining
the submergence to river course itself. The main purpose of the weir is to recharge the
riverbed/groundwater, and not for direct abstraction from the storage. Storage is small and
there are no arrangements to change the height or gates to release or hold water, dam will
be filled at the first monsoon flow itself, and will continue to be full throughout (as no
abstraction, except the evaporation and infiltration losses), and the water coming from the
upstream will overflow freely. Therefore the change in flow regime due to these small
dams will be negligible on downstream users and on river eco system. The proposed
impoundment in fact is likely to benefit the environment through groundwater recharge and
propagation of aquatic life. Water quality is suitable for drinking water after conventional
treatment and disinfection, and there are no notable pollution sources. No negative
impacts thus envisaged.
150. For Sarni, Ground water level in Sarni is very low to supply the water in Town. Tawa river
is generally dry in summer season, so found not adequate to as water source. Satpura
reservoir is found adequate source for Sarni Water Supply Scheme due to its adequacy in
terms of quality as well qu75.43antity. After water analysis of Satpura Reservoir, it is found
that all the parameter is beyond the drinking water standard.Capacity of Reservoir is 75.43
118
MCM and our requirement is 8.43 MCM in ultimate Stage 2048. It is almost 9 times to the
requirement of ultimate Stage hence it is sufficient enough.
151. Potential negative impacts were identified in relation to both construction and operation of
the improved infrastructure. Mitigation measures have been developed in generic way to
reduce all negative impacts to acceptable levels. These were discussed with specialists
responsible for the engineering aspects, and as a result some measures have already
been included in the outline designs for the infrastructure. These include:
i. Locating all pipelines within the ROW of existing roads, to avoid the need to acquire land or relocate people;
ii. Locating pipelines on unused land adjacent to roads wherever possible, to avoid damaging roads and disrupting traffic and other activities.
152. This means that the number of impacts and their significance has already been reduced by amending the design .
153. Water source sustainability ,for Tapping on Raw Water Rising Main of Betul WSSfor
Betul Bazar has been reviewed based on the available data. Permission of water resources department for Amla and sarni town is a prerequisite for this project, and this needs to be obtained prior to invitation of bids for civil works. Water quality is appropriate for drinking water supply after treatment and disinfection.
154. During the construction phase, impacts mainly arise from the construction dust and noise, the need to dispose of large quantities of waste soil and import a similar amount of sand to support the sewer in the trenches; and from the disturbance of residents, businesses, traffic and important buildings by the construction work. The social impacts (access disruptions) due to construction activities are unavoidable, as the residential and commercial establishments exist along the roads where pipes will be laid. Avoidance of work during at important tourist place during the peak tourist season is suggested.
155. Anticipated impacts of water supply during operation and maintenance will be related to
detection and repair of leaks, pipe bursts. These are, however, likely to be minimal, as proper design and selection of good quality pipe material shall mean that leaks are minimal. Leak repair work will be similar to the pipe-laying work. Application and handling of chlorine gas will involve certain risks, and appropriate measures are suggested for safe application.
156. The public participation processes undertaken during project design ensured
stakeholders are engaged during the preparation of the IEE. The planned information disclosure measures and process for carrying out consultation with affected people will facilitate their participation during project implementation.
157. The project’s grievance redressal mechanism will provide the citizens with a platform for redressal of their grievances, and describes the informal and formal channels, time frame, and mechanisms for resolving complaints about environmental performance.
119
158. The EMP will assist the PMU, PIU, PDMC and contractors in mitigating the environmental impacts, and guide them in the environmentally sound execution of the proposed project.
159. A copy of the EMP shall be kept on-site during the construction period at all times. The EMP shall be made binding on all contractors operating on the site, and will be included in the contractual clauses. Non-compliance with, or any deviation from, the conditions set out in this document shall constitute a failure in compliance.
160. The project will benefit the general public by contributing to the long-term improvement of water supply and sewerage systems and community livability in towns. The potential adverse environmental impacts are mainly related to the construction period, which can be minimized by the mitigating measures and environmentally sound engineering and construction practices.
161. Therefore, as per ADB SPS, the project is classified as environmental category C and does not require further environmental impact assessment. However, to conform to government guidelines projects require (i) permission of WRD, GoMP for weirand Intake well construction and water abstraction from Bel river for Amla and water abstraction from reservoirs for BetulBazar and sarni town(ii) WTP requires Consent for Establishment (CFE) and Consent for Operation (CFO) from Madhya Pradesh Pollution Control Board. These permissions/approvals shall be obtained prior to invitation of bids for civil works.

Appendix 19: Sample Outline Spoils (construction waste) Management Plan
• The Spoil Management Plan should be site specific and be part of the monthly Construction
Management Plan.
• The contractor, in consultation with the PIU, has to find out appropriate location/s for the disposal
of the excess soil generated. The spoils should be deposited only at these sites.
• Further precautions need to be taken in case of the contaminated spoils
• The vehicle carrying the spoil should be covered properly.
• The spoils generating from each site should be removed on the same day or immediately after
the work is complete. The site / road should be restored to the original condition.
I. Spoils information
The spoil information contains the details like a) The type / material, b) Potential contamination by that
type, c) Expected volume (site / component specific), d) Spoil Classification etc.
II Spoils management
The Spoil Management section gives the details of a) Transportation of spoil b) disposal site details c)
Precautions taken d) Volume of contaminated spoil, if present, d) Suggested reuse of disposal of the spoil
III. Documentation
The volume of spoil generated (site specific, date wise), site disposed, reuse / disposal details should be
documented properly.
Appendix20: Sample Outline Traffic Management Plan
A. Principles for TMP around the Water Pipes Construction Sites
1. One of the prime objectives of this TMP is to ensure the safety of all the road users along the work
zone, and to address the following issues:
(i) the safety of pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists travelling through the construction zone;
(ii) protection of work crews from hazards associated with moving traffic;
(iii) mitigation of the adverse impact on road capacity and delays to the road users;
(iv) maintenance of access to adjoining properties; and
(v) addressing issues that may delay the project.
B. Operating Policies for TMP
2. The following principles will help promote safe and efficient movement for all road users (motorists,
bicyclists, and pedestrians, including persons with disabilities) through and around work zones while
reasonably protecting workers and equipment.
(i) Make traffic safety and temporary traffic control an integral and high-priority element of project from
planning through design, construction, and maintenance.
159
(ii) Inhibit traffic movement as little as possible.
(iii) Provide clear and positive guidance to drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians as they approach and
travel through the temporary traffic control zone.
(iv) Inspect traffic control elements routinely, both day and night, and make modifications when
necessary.
(v) Pay increased attention to roadside safety in the vicinity of temporary traffic control zones.
(vi) Train all persons that select, place, and maintain temporary traffic control devices.
(vii) Keep the public well informed.
(viii) Make appropriate accommodation for abutting property owners, residents, businesses,
emergency services, railroads, commercial vehicles, and transit operations.
3. Figure A2 to Figure A6 illustrates the operating policy for TMP for the construction of water pipes and
the sewers along various types of roads.
C. Analyze the impact due to street closure
4. Apart from the capacity analysis, a final decision to close a particular street and divert the traffic
should involve the following steps:
(i) approval from the ULB/Public Works Department (PWD) to use the local streets as detours;
(ii) consultation with businesses, community members, traffic police, PWD, etc, regarding the
mitigation measures necessary at the detours where the road is diverted during the construction;
(iii) determining of the maximum number of days allowed for road closure, and incorporation of such
provisions into the contract documents;
(iv) determining if additional traffic control or temporary improvements are needed along the detour
route;
(v) considering how access will be provided to the worksite;
(vi) contacting emergency service, school officials, and transit authorities to determine if there are
impacts to their operations; and
(vii) developing a notification program to the public so that the closure is not a surprise. As part of this
program, the public should be advised of alternate routes that commuters can take or will have to
take as result of the traffic diversion.
5. If full road-closure of certain streets within the area is not feasible due to inadequate capacity of the
detour street or public opposition, the full closure can be restricted to weekends with the construction
commencing on Saturday night and ending on Monday morning prior to the morning peak period.
Figure A1: Policy Steps for the TMP
160
D. Public awareness and notifications
As per discussions in the previous sections, there will be travel delays during the constructions, as is the
case with most construction projects, albeit on a reduced scale if utilities and traffic management are
properly coordinated. There are additional grounds for travel delays in the area, as most of the streets
lack sufficient capacity to accommodate additional traffic from diverted traffic as a result of street closures
to accommodate the works.
6. The awareness campaign and the prior notification for the public will be a continuous activity
which the project will carry out to compensate for the above delays and minimize public claims as result of
these problems. These activities will take place sufficiently in advance of the time when the roadblocks or
traffic diversions take place at the particular streets. The reason for this is to allow sufficient time for the
public and residents to understand the changes to their travel plans. The project will notify the public
about the roadblocks and traffic diversion through public notices, ward level meetings and city level
meeting with the elected representatives.
7. The PIU will also conduct an awareness campaign to educate the public about the following issues:
(i) traffic control devices in place at the work zones (signs, traffic cones, barriers, etc.);
(ii) defensive driving behaviour along the work zones; and
Review• Review construction schedule and methods
Traffic Re-Circulation
• Identify initial traffic recirculation and control policy
Traffic Diversions
• Identify routes for traffic diversions• Analyse adverse impact & mitigation at the detours
Full Road Colsures
• Begin community consultation for consensus• Finalise or determine alternate detours
Temporary parking
• Identify temporary parking (on and off -street )• Discuss with CMC, owner, community for use
Police Coordination
• Coordinate with theTraffic Police to enforce traffic and diversions
Install control devices
• Install traffic control devices (traffic cones, sgns, lightings, etc)
Awareness • Conduct campaigns, publicity, and notify public about street closure
Public
Redress
• Develop a mechanism to address public grievances regarding disruptons (traffic, utilities, and diversions)
161
(iii) reduced speeds enforced at the work zones and traffic diversions.
8. It may be necessary to conduct the awareness programs/campaigns on road safety during
construction.
9. The campaign will cater to all types of target groups i.e. children, adults, and drivers. Therefore, these
campaigns will be conducted in schools and community centres. In addition, the project will publish a
brochure for public information. These brochures will be widely circulated around the area and will also be
available at the PIU, and the contractor's site office. The text of the brochure should be concise to be
effective, with a lot of graphics. It will serve the following purpose:
(i) explain why the brochure was prepared, along with a brief description of the project;
(ii) advise the public to expect the unexpected;
(iii) educate the public about the various traffic control devices and safety measures adopted at the
work zones;
(iv) educate the public about the safe road user behaviour to emulate at the work zones;
(v) tell the public how to stay informed or where to inquire about road safety issues at the work zones
(name, telephone, mobile number of the contact person; and
(vi) indicate the office hours of relevant offices.
E. Install traffic control devices at the work zones and traffic diversion routes
10. The purpose of installing traffic control devices at the work zones is to delineate these areas to warn,
inform, and direct the road users about a hazard ahead, and to protect them as well as the workers. As
proper delineation is a key to achieve the above objective, it is important to install good traffic signs at the
work zones. The following traffic control devices are used in work zones:
• Signs
• Pavement Markings
• Channelizing Devices
• Arrow Panels
• Warning Lights
11. Procedures for installing traffic control devices at any work zone vary, depending on road
configuration, location of the work, construction activity, duration, traffic speed and volume, and
pedestrian traffic. Work will take place along major roads, and the minor internal roads. As such, the
traffic volume and road geometry vary. The main roads carry considerable traffic; internal roads in the
new city areas are wide but in old city roads very narrow and carry considerable traffic. However,
162
regardless of where the construction takes place, all the work zones should be cordoned off, and traffic
shifted away at least with traffic cones, barricades, and temporary signs (temporary “STOP” and “GO”).
12. Figure A2 to Figure A6 illustrates a typical set-up for installing traffic control devices at the work
zone of the area, depending on the location of work on the road way, and road geometrics:
• Work on shoulder or parking lane
• Shoulder or parking lane closed on divided road
• Work in Travel lane
• Lane closure on road with low volume
• Street closure with detour
13. The work zone should take into consideration the space required for a buffer zone between the
workers and the traffic (lateral and longitudinal) and the transition space required for delineation, as
applicable. For the works, a 30 cm clearance between the traffic and the temporary STOP and GO signs
should be provided. In addition, at least 60 cm is necessary to install the temporary traffic signs and
cones.
14. Traffic police should regulate traffic away from the work zone and enforce the traffic diversion result
from full street closure in certain areas during construction. Flagggers/ personnel should be equipped with
reflective jackets at all times and have traffic control batons (preferably the LED type) for regulating the
traffic during night time.
16. In addition to the delineation devices, all the construction workers should wear fluorescent safety
vests and helmets in order to be visible to the motorists at all times. There should be provision for lighting
beacons and illumination for night constructions.
