Executive Summary

1. Uttarakhand Urban Sector Development Investment Program (UUSDIP) is intended to support the Government of India and Government of Uttarakhand in their policy of balanced re-gional socio-economic development and poverty reduction throughout the urban sector in Uttarakhand. This is being achieved through investments in the areas of infrastructure and ser-vice provision, institutional development and capacity building. Directly the UUSDIP will result in improved living conditions in the urban areas of Uttarakhand as a result of rehabilitation, up-grading and extension of key infrastructure, strengthened operation and maintenance, and im-proved local governance practices and locally-led pro-poor planning and project identification. The program will also improve the prospects for accelerated economic growth from the tourism and manufacturing industries and help create conditions for improved long-term service sus-tainability and greater private sector investment in infrastructure and service provision.

2. The UUSDIP is funded by ADB through Multitranche Financing Facility (MFF) and also by the central-sponsored Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) of the Government of India. This Program is being under implementation over a period of 10 years. The Executing Agency (EA) is the Urban Development Department (UDD) of Government of Uttarakhand (GoU), which has set up a state-level urban sector Project Management Unit (PMU) to execute the UUSDIP. Implementation Agencies (IA) are the respective urban local bodies, UPJN, UJS and PWD, which in collaboration with PMU will set-up 13 Project Implemen-tation Units (PIU) for implementing the Program. Dehradun, Roorkee, Ramnagar, Nainital, Almora, Pithoragarh and Haldwani are the towns chosen for investment under Tranche-II of UUSDIP.

3. 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 SPS (2009). This states that ADB requires environmental assessment of all project loans, program loans, sector loans, sector development program loans, loans involving financial intermediaries, and private sector loans.

4. This Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) Report has been updated for the follow-ing components of Roorkee Sewerage Subproject to be undertaken in Tranche II: (i) Sewerage system of Roorkee (Contract Package No. WMM01RK) (ii) Construction of 33 MLD STP and two Sewage Pumping stations (Contract Package No. WMM02RK).Contractor for construction of STP and SPS has already been mobilized. While this IEE is being updated due to change in location of STP from Sati Mohalla to Saliyar-Ibrahimpur in Roorkee and further splitting of WWM01RK into, WWM03RK and WWM04 RK due to poor response from bidders side and timely completion of Project. Construction of 33MLD-STP is likely to commence after the rainy season and will completed by the end of 2017.

5. The subproject sites are located in existing Right of Way. There are no protected are-as, wetlands, mangroves, or estuaries. Trees, vegetation (mostly shrubs and grasses), and an-imals in the subproject site are those commonly found in built-up areas.

6. The process described in this document has assessed the environmental impacts of all elements of the infrastructure proposed under the Roorkee Sewerage Subproject. Potential negative impacts were identified in relation to both construction and operation of the improved infrastructure, but no impacts were identified as being due to either the project design or loca-tion. Mitigation measures have been developed in generic way to reduce all negative impacts to

vi

acceptable levels. These were discussed with specialists responsible for the engineering as-pects, and as a result some measures have already been included in the outline designs for the infrastructure.

7. Locations and siting of the proposed infrastructures were considered to further re-duce impacts. These include:

(i) The STP site is selected at Saliar Ibrahimpur village belongs to Nagar Nigam of Roorkee and owned by Government of Uttarakhand. This avoids impacts of land ac-quisition, rehabilitation and resettlement of PAPs.

(ii) Locating the sewerage network in the ROW alongside a main road, to reduce impacts on livelihoods of public. The route of rising main is changed due to change in STP loca-tion. This change does instigate change of nature of environmental impact. The length of rising main has increased from 1200 meter to 3800 meters resulting change in quan-tum of work consequently increase in construction time and impact related to excava-tion for pipe laying along road side. There is change in social impact of temporary in nature due to temporary blockage of access to the shops. These impacts are taken care in Resettlement Plan separately.

8. Regardless of these and various other actions taken during the IEE process and in developing the project, there will still be impacts on the environment when the infrastructure is built and when it is operating. This is mainly because of the invasive nature of trenching and other excavation; and because the sewerage network is located in an inhabited town where there are densely populated areas. Because of these factors the significant impacts are on the physical environment and the human environment.

9. During the construction phase, impacts mainly arise from the need to dispose of large quantities of waste soil and import a similar amount of sand to support the pipes in the trenches; and from the disturbance of residents, businesses, traffic and important buildings by the con-struction work. These are common impacts of construction in urban areas, and there are well developed methods for their mitigation. These include:

(i) Finding beneficial uses for waste material;

(ii) Covering soil and sand during transportation and when stored on site;

(iii) Planning work to minimize disruption of traffic and communities;

(iv) Providing temporary structures to maintain access across trenches where required.

10. Specific impacts due to construction of STP adjacent to Solani river have been iden-tified and measures such as the following are suggested:

(i) No downstream impact (ii) No construction material storage/ancillary works nearby river bank (iii) No labour camps to be set up nearby river bank (iv) Protection bunds around construction area (v) Conducting awareness programs to workers (vi) Proper arrangement to arrest silt runoff from construction site to nearby river during

monsoon (vii) Use excavated soil for strengthening bunds; no waste shall be disposed in or near

river bank

vii

(viii) The treated sewage effluent will be disposed to Solani River which will meet the CPCB standards

(ix) Site planning and design should consider the HFL; provided appropriate bunding around the facility.

11. There were limited opportunities to provide environmental enhancements, but cer-tain measures were included. For example it is proposed that the project will:

(i) Employ in the workforce to the extent possible, people who live in the vicinity of con-struction sites to provide them with a short-term economic gain;

(ii) Ensure that people employed in the longer term to maintain and operate the new fa-cilities are residents of nearby communities.

12. Once the sewerage system is operating, most facilities will operate with routine maintenance, which should not affect the environment. Leaks in the network will need to be re-paired from time to time, but environmental impacts will be much less than those of the con-struction period as the work will be infrequent, affecting small areas only. It will also be conduct-ed in areas that have already been excavated, so there will be no need to protect archaeologi-cal material. During operation of STP, there are chances of odor nuisance. The proper selec-tion of treatment process as well as regular O & M of STP will take care of this problem. There can be deterioration of quality of nearby river water due to disposal of treated sewage. Howev-er, regular quality monitoring of water will help in identifying the problem in earlier stage and re-mediation measures. There is occupational health and safety risk involved while working in STP however all the necessary precautionary measures are included. Necessary provisions for green buffer zone within STP premises as well as surrounding sewage pumping stations are considered in design.

13. The major impacts of the implementation of sewerage subproject will be beneficial to the citizens of Roorkee as it will provide proper collection network and treatment of sewage, which will serve a greater proportion of the population, including slum-dwellers. This will improve the quality of life of people as well as benefiting both individual and public health as the im-provements in hygiene should reduce the incidence of disease associated with poor sanitation. This should lead to economic gains as people will be away from work less and will spend less on healthcare, so their incomes should increase.

14. Mitigation will be assured by a program of environmental monitoring to be conducted during construction stages. The environmental monitoring program will ensure that all measures are implemented, and will determine whether the environment is protected as intended. It will include observations on- and off-site, document checks, and interviews with workers and bene-ficiaries. Any requirements for remedial action will be reported to the IPMU.

15. The stakeholders were involved in developing the updated IEE through discussions on site and public consultation after which views expressed were incorporated into the IEE and the planning and development of the project. The updated IEE report will be made available at public locations in the city and will be disclosed to a wider audience via the ADB website. 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.

viii

16. Therefore the components proposed under Tranche-II of this sewerage subproject in Roorkee are unlikely to cause significant adverse impacts. The potential adverse impacts that are associated with design, construction, and operation can be mitigated to standard levels without much difficulty through proper engineering design and the incorporation or application of recommended mitigation measures and procedures.

17. Based on the findings of the IEE, the classification of the Project as Category “B” is confirmed, and no further special study or detailed EIA needs to be undertaken to comply with ADB SPS (2009) or GoI EIA Notification (2006). One component however requires con-sent/permission of regulatory agencies for implementation. The construction and operation of Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) requires consent for establishment (CFE) and consent for oper-ation (CFO) from the UEPPCB under the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974. However Consent to establish has been obtained from Uttarakhand Environment Protection and Pollution Control Board and the detail of which has been furnished in Table no-1.

I. Introduction

A. Overview

1. Uttarakhand Urban Sector Development Investment Program (UUSDIP) is intended to support the Government of India and Government of Uttarakhand in their policy of balanced regional socio-economic development and poverty reduction throughout the urban sector in Uttarakhand. This is being achieved through investments in the areas of infrastructure and service provision, institutional development and capacity building. Directly the UUSDIP will result in improved living conditions in the urban areas of Uttarakhand as a result of rehabilita-tion, upgrading and extension of key infrastructure, strengthened operation and maintenance, and improved local governance practices and locally-led pro-poor planning and project identi-fication. The program will also improve the prospects for accelerated economic growth from the tourism and manufacturing industries and help create conditions for improved long-term service sustainability and greater private sector investment in infrastructure and service provi-sion. 2. The UUSDIP is funded by ADB through Multitranche Financing Facility (MFF) and also by the central-sponsored Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) of the Government of India. This Program is being under implementation over a period of 10 years. The Executing Agency (EA) is the Urban Development Department (UDD) of Govern-ment of Uttarakhand (GoU), which has set up a state-level urban sector Project Management Unit (PMU) to execute the UUSDIP. Implementation Agencies (IA) are the respective urban local bodies, UPJN, UJS and PWD, which in collaboration with PMU will set-up 13 Project Implementation Units (PIU) for implementing the Program. Dehradun, Roorkee, Ramnagar, Nainital, Almora, Pithoragarh and Haldwani are the towns chosen for investment under Tranche-II of the UUSDIP. 3. ADB classified the investment program as environment Category B and accordingly initial environmental examination (IEE) is required for all subprojects. This IEE has been pre-pared for Roorkee Sewerage Subproject which covers: (i) provision of sewerage network; (ii) construction of STP and two sewage pumping stations.

B. Environmental Compliance Requirement

1. ADB Policy

4. ADB requires the consideration of environmental issues in all aspects of ADB’s op-erations, and the requirements for Environmental Assessment are described in ADB SPS 2009. This states that ADB requires environmental assessment of all project loans, program loans, sector loans, sector development program loans, loans involving financial intermediar-ies, and private sector loans. 5. 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 are assigned to one of the following four categories:

(i) Category A. Projects could have significant adverse environmental impacts. An EIA is required to address significant impacts.

(ii) Category B. Projects could have some adverse environmental impacts, but of lesser degree or significance than those in category A. An IEE is required to de-termine whether significant environmental impacts warranting an EIA are likely. If an EIA is not needed, the IEE is regarded as the final environmental assessment report.

2

(iii) Category C. Projects are unlikely to have adverse environmental impacts. No EIA or IEE is required, although environmental implications are reviewed.

(iv) Category FI. Projects involve a credit line through a financial intermediary or an equity investment in a financial intermediary. The financial intermediary must apply an environmental management system, unless all Projects will result in insignifi-cant impacts.

6. 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. 7. Public Disclosure. ADB will post the following safeguard documents on its website so affected people, other stakeholders, and the general public can provide meaningful inputs into the project design and implementation:

(i) For environmental category A projects, draft EIA report at least 120 days before Board consideration;

(ii) Final or updated EIA and/or IEE upon receipt; and (iii) Environmental Monitoring Reports submitted by IPMIU during project implementation

upon receipt. 2. Applicable Legislations

8. The implementation of the subprojects will be governed by the national government and state of Uttarakhand environmental acts, rules, regulations, and standards. These regula-tions impose restrictions on the activities to minimize and/or mitigate likely impacts on the environment. It is the responsibility of the project executing and implementing agencies to ensure subprojects are consistent with the legal framework, whether national, state or munici-pal and/or local. In addition, subprojects shall also be consistent with ADB SPS. The following legislations are applicable to the subproject:

(i) Environmental (Protection) Act of 1986 as amended in 1991;

(ii) Environmental (Protection) Rules of 1986 and amendments;

(iii) Environmental Impact Assessment Notification of 2006;

(iv) Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act of 1974, Rules of 1975, and amend-ments;

(v) Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act of 1981, Rules of 1982 and amend-ments;

(vi) Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules of 2000;

(vii) Wildlife (Protection) Act of 1972, Rules of 1995 and amendments;

(viii) Indian Forest Act of 1927;

(ix) Forest (Conservation) Act of 1980, Rules of 1981 and amendments;

(x) Guidelines for Diversion of Forest Lands for Non-Forest Purpose under the Forest (Conservation) Act of 1980;

(xi) Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) Environmental Standards;

(xii) Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Rules of 1959; and

(xiii) The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013.

9. Key standards include those related to drinking water quality, air quality, effluent dis-charge, and protected areas. Compliance is required in all stages of the project including de-sign, construction, and O&M.

3. Environmental Assessment Requirements

10. The new EIA Notification of 2006 of GoI (superseding the EIA Notification of 1994), requires environmental clearance for certain defined activities/projects. This Notification clas-sifies the projects/activities that require environmental clearance (EC) into ‘A’ and ‘B’ catego-ries depending on the impact potential and/or scale of the project. For both category projects, prior environmental clearance is mandatory before any construction work, or preparation of land except for securing the land, is started on such project or activity. Clearance provisions are as follows.

(i) The project/activities falling under Category ‘A’ require prior environmental clearance from the MoEFCC, Government of India1.

(ii) Category ‘B’ projects require prior environmental clearance from the State lev-el the State Environmental Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA)2.

11. This notification provides that, any project or activity specified in Category ‘B’ will be treated as Category A, if located in whole or in part within 10 kilometers (km) from the bound-ary of:(i) protected areas notified under the Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972, (ii) critically pol-luted areas as notified by the CPCB from time to time, (iii) notified eco-sensitive areas, and (iv) inter-state boundaries and international boundaries. Also, in the case where a SEIAA does not exist, Category B project will be reviewed by the MoEFCC and reclassified as Category A. 12. Consequently, the proposed Roorkee Sewerage Subproject is not listed in the EIA Notification of 2006 “Schedule of Projects Requiring Prior Environmental Clearance.” Thus, environmental clearance for this subproject is not required. 4. National Legal Requirements

13. Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act (1974): Any component of urban in-frastructure project under UUSDIP having potential to generate sewage or trade effluent will come under the purview of the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974. Such projects have to obtain Consent for Establishment (CFE) under Section 25 of the Act from Uttaranchal Environmental Protection and Pollution Control Board before starting implementa-tion and Consent to Operate (CTO) before commissioning. The Water Act also requires the occupier of such subprojects to take measures for abating the possible pollution of receiving water bodies. CFE is required to be obtained for establishment of Roorkee Sewage Treatment Plant. 14. Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act of 1981, Rules of 1982 and amend-ments. The subprojects having potential to emit air pollutants into the atmosphere have to obtain CFE under Section 21 of the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act of 1981 from SPCB before starting implementation and CTO before commissioning the project. The occu-pier of the project/facility has the responsibility to adopt necessary air pollution control measures for abating air pollution. The following require CFE and CTO from SPCB:

(i) Diesel generators; and

(ii) Hot mix plants, wet mix plants, stone crushers, etc., if installed for construction. 15. Emissions and discharges shall comply with standards notified by the CPCB. Appen-

dix 1 provides applicable standards for effluents, receiving water bodies, air quality, water quality and noise levels.

1 For Category A projects, based on the preliminary details provided by the project proponent as per Notification,

the Expert Appraisal Committee (EAC) of MoEFCC, determine comprehensive TOR for EIA studies. This TOR

will be finalized within 60 days. On the recommendation of the EAC based on EIA studies, MoEF provides the

EC. 2 The B category projects will be further divided by State Level EAC into B1 – that require EIA studies and B2 –

no EIA studies. The Sate Level EAC will determine TOR for EIA studies for B1 projects with in 60 days. On the

recommendation of the State level EAC based on EIA studies, SEIAA provides the EC.

16. Forest Legislations. The government’s forest legislation dates back to enactment of the Indian Forest Act of 1927. This Act empowers State of Uttarakhand to declare “any forest land or waste-land, which is the property of government or over which the government has proprietary rights or to the whole or any part of the forest-produced of which the government is entitled,” a reserved forest or protected forest. The Act also allows government control over forest and lands not being the property of the government. 17. For reserved forests and village-forests, activities like clearing or breaking up of any land for cultivation or for any other purpose, damage to vegetation and/or trees and quarrying or removing any forest produce are prohibited. For protected forests, with the provision of the Act, State of Uttarakhand makes rules to regulate activities like cutting of trees and removal of forest produce; clearing or breaking up of land for cultivation or any other purpose; and for protection and management of any portion of protected forest. 18. According to the Act, State of Uttarakhand requires prior approval of MoEFCC for the use of forest land for non-forest purposes (means the breaking up or clearing of any forest land) or for assigning lease to any private person or agency not controlled by government. The Forest (Conservation) Rules of 2003 issued under this Act provide specific procedures to be followed for conversion of forest land for non-forest purposes. 19. Conversion of forest lands that are part of National Parks and/or Sanctuaries and Tiger Reserve areas (notified under Indian Wildlife [Protection] Act of 1972) is not permitted. In exceptional case, State of Uttarakhand requires consent of the Indian Board of Wildlife for obtaining approval of the State Legislature for de-notification of the area as a sanctuary. The State or National Wildlife Board under MoEFCC is the authority which will grant a “No Objec-tion Certificate” for any construction within a sensitive area. Every user agency, who proposes to use any forest land for non-forest purposes and use buffer zone of the wildlife protected areas for other purposes, must apply for forest and/or wildlife clearance. 20. Cutting of trees in non-forest land, irrespective of land ownership, also require per-mission from the State Forest and Environment Department. Afforestation to the extent of two trees per each tree felled is mandatory. Cutting of three numbers of trees is required for laying of sewer lines and permission has been obtained from the forest department and the detail of which is furnished in Table no.1. 21. Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Rules, of 1959. The Rules designate areas within a radius of 100 meters (m) and 300 m from the “protected prop-erty” as “protected area” and “controlled area” respectively. No development activity (including mining operations and construction) is permitted in the “protected area” and all development activities likely to damage the protected property are not permitted in the “controlled area” without prior permission of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI). Protected property in-cludes the site, remains, and monuments protected by ASI or the State Department of Ar-chaeology. 22. For the subproject, activities within Archaeologically Protected Areas will be avoided. If activities are to be done in the controlled area of protected properties, then the executing and implementing agencies and the line department will take the necessary No Objection Certificates from ASI. 23. Land Acquisition Act of 1894 (amended in 1985). Private land acquisition is guided by the provisions and procedures in this Act. The District Collector or any other officer designated will function as the Land Acquisition Officer on behalf of the government. There is a provision for consent award to reduce the time for processing if the land owners are willing to agree on the price fixed by the Land Acquisition Officer. The option of acquiring lands through private negotiations is also available. 24. For the subproject, permanent land acquisition is not required as all sites are gov-ernment-owned land and/or within existing right-of-ways (ROWs).

In addition, international conventions such as the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN), Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), Convention on Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS) and Ramsar Convention on Wetlands of International Importance are applicable for selection and screening of subprojects under restricted and/or sensitive areas. India is a party to these conventions. 26. International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN). The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (also known as the IUCN Red List or Red Data List), founded in 1963, is a comprehensive inventory of the global conservation status of plant and animal species. The IUCN is an authority on the conservation status of species. A series of Regional Red Lists are produced by countries or organizations, which assess the risk of extinction to species within a political management unit. The IUCN Red List is set upon pre-cise criteria to evaluate the extinction risk of thousands of species and subspecies. These criteria are relevant to all species and all regions of the world. The aim is to convey the urgen-cy of conservation issues to the public and policy makers, as well as help the international community to try to reduce species extinction. 27. Convention on Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS). CMS was adopted in 1979 and entered into force on 1 November 1983. CMS, also known as the Bonn Convention, recognizes that states must be the protectors of migratory species that live within or pass through their national jurisdictions, and aims to conserve terrestrial, marine and avian migrato-ry species throughout their ranges. 28. Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and

Flora (CITES). It is an international agreement between governments. Its aim is to ensure that international trade in specimens of wild animals and plants does not threaten their survival. CITES were first formed, in the 1960s. Annually, international wildlife trade is estimated to be worth billions of dollars and to include hundreds of millions of plant and animal specimens. The trade is diverse, ranging from live animals and plants to a vast array of wildlife products derived from them, including food products, exotic leather goods, wooden musical instru-ments, timber, tourist curios and medicines. Levels of exploitation of some animal and plant species are high and the trade in them, together with other factors, such as habitat loss, is capable of heavily depleting their populations and even bringing some species close to extinc-tion. Many wildlife species in trade are not endangered, but the existence of an agreement to ensure the sustainability of the trade is important in order to safeguard these resources for the future. Because the trade in wild animals and plants crosses borders between countries, the effort to regulate it requires international cooperation to safeguard certain species from over-exploitation. 29. Ramsar Convention on Wetlands of International Importance, 1971. The Conven-tion on Wetlands of International Importance, called the Ramsar Convention, is an intergov-ernmental treaty that provides the framework for national action and international cooperation for the conservation and wise use of wetlands and their resources. The Ramsar Convention is an international treaty for the conservation and sustainable utilization of wetlands The Ramsar Convention is the only global environmental treaty that deals with a particular ecosys-tem. According to the Ramsar list of Wetlands of International Importance, there are 25 desig-nated wetlands in India which are required to be protected. Activities undertaken in the prox-imity of Ramsar wetlands shall follow the guidelines of the convention. 30. The legal framework of the country consists of several acts, notifications, rules and regulations to protect environment and wildlife. In 1976, the 42nd Constitutional Amendment created article 48A and 51A, placing an obligation on every citizen of the country to attempt to conserve the environment. Specifically for the UUSDIP (Uttarakhand Urban Sector Develop-

6

ment Investment Program), the following environmental laws and regulations are applicable for sub-projects and require clearances or permissions as applicable and the details are given in Table no.1: Table 1 : Applicable Environmental National and State Requirements for UUSDIP

37. Construction of 33 MLD STP (Package No. WMM02RK): The strategy for wastewater treatment is adopted to provide appropriate cost treatment with a robust process that takes into account local conditions. Apart from construction and running costs, factors that need to be taken into account in selecting appropriate processes for Roorkee STP include: (i) Con-sistent Effluent Quality in compliance to regulatory and statutory requirements; (ii) Less Area Requirement; (iii) Process flexibility; (iv) Easy operation and maintenance; (IV) Economic Via-bility; (v) Aesthetics with Surroundings and (vi) Odor and Nuisance 38. The merits and demerits of various available treatment technologies were evaluated with respect to their economic viability and effectiveness in the local conditions. Based on the comparison, it was found out that Extended Aeration SBR Activated Sludge process was found to be more suitable for the present conditions. The most important reasons for selecting Extended Aeration SBR Activated Sludge process are:

(i) Area requirement for SBR is less than the conventional extended aeration process, and the complete SBR plant can be accommodated in the available land area.

(ii) No secondary settling tanks in SBR, no return sludge pumping, hence lesser opera-tion & maintenance

(iii) The SBR is a time-oriented, periodic process that can be designed and operated to simulate virtually all conventional continuous-flow extended aeration activated sludge systems.

(iv) Improved sludge settling: due to pre-react zone (biological selectors). Increased set-tling area without sludge scrapers provide perfectly quiescent settling environment.

(v) Expansion potential; Simplified expansion- Each unit forms a modular treatment unit.

(vi) Because of the flexibility of working in time rather than space, the operating policy can be modified to meet new effluent limits, handle changes in wastewater character-

12

istics, and accommodate the fluctuations in seasonal flow rate, all without increasing the sizes of the physical plant.

(vii) As the SBR process is fully automatic, it constantly measures and monitors the “ oxy-gen uptake rate” (OUR) in the basin based on DO profiling, and ensures that optimum power is used by the process with respect to variation in flow variation and input BOD variation. This results in substantial savings in power consumption.

(viii) The process has inbuilt capability to remove Nitrogen and phosphorous (N, P) via process of nitrification and de nitrification. This results in far superior process treat-ment and ensures protection of water bodies and rivers against growth of algae, wa-ter hyacinths and other weeds which reduce DO level in the river bodies.

39. Proposed SBR based treatment plant comprises following major units: (i) Receiving Chamber; (ii) Mechanical Coarse Screen Channels; (iii) Mechanical Fine Screen Channels; (iv) Mechanical Grit removal facility; (v) SBR Process Units; (vi) Chlorination Unit; and (vii) Centrifuge for Sludge Dewatering 40. The proposed sewage treatment plant will have design capacity to treat 33 MLD sew-erage. The treatment starts with the collection of sewage at Inlet chamber, and then flows to coarse and fine screen chambers for the effective removal of solid particles from the plant Influent. Sewage from screen chamber flows to Mechanical grit chamber to remove grit parti-cles. The biological treatment section comprises of SBR for the effectively removal of BOD and SS as per the discharged regulatory norms. Chlorination has been provided to the Sew-age from SBR process. Centrifuge shall be provided for dewatering the Sludge generated from the SBR. Plant Layout for the proposed treatment plant is given in Table no- 5.

C. Energy Efficiency Measures

41. The Sewerage subproject components have been designed with utmost considera-tion of energy efficiency in the whole system. The sewage through sewerage network will be conveyed by gravity. Sewage collected through gravity in western side will be pumped through pumping station to convey to STP. The pumping systems proposed for sewage pumping station as well as for STP are energy efficient. The equipment has been designed with the maximum efficiency to optimize the energy consumption. Best pumps with ideal spe-cific speeds have been considered. Attainable efficiency for procuring the pumps and motors are considered as 88 to 92 percent for pumps and 94 percent for motors. D. Implementation Schedule

42. Change of location of STP has caused significant change in schedule of work. This required changing the consent to establish from Uttarakhand State Pollution Control Board and the CTE has been obtained which is valid up to December-2017.Detail design of the work has been completed. The implementation schedule for 33 MLD-STP and splitted contract packages are given below. The sub-projects will be implemented as per the schedule given in Table no-6.

III. Description of the Environment

A. Physical Features

1. Location 43. Roorkee town is located at 29.87° North Latitude 77.88° East Longitude. It has an average elevation of 268 meters (879 feet). It is situated on National Highway (N.H.) 58 (Del-hi-Haridwar) and N.H. 73 (Haridwar-Panchkula), and is on Amritsar-Howrah main rail route. Roorkee is 175 km north of the Indian capital New Delhi and about 70 km from Dehradun the provisional capital of Uttarakhand and located between the rivers Ganga and Yamuna, close to the foot hills of Himalayas. Location of 33MLD-STP: The site for construction of 33MLD-STP is located adjacent to the bank Solani River on Nagar Nigam Land. It is barren Land and is topographically fit for Con-struction of 33 MLD-STP.

2. Topography and Geology

44. The town has a gently sloping topography, with slope from south to north towards River Solani, However the Ganga Canal slopes towards the southwest. The difference in the highest and lowest ground level of the town is of the order of 18.5 meters. Depth of Subsoil water in this area varies from 6.0 meters to 10.0 meters, with average depth of 8.0 meters. The town lies in the Tarai belt and has tropical climate. 45. Geologically the area may divided into three zones viz. Siwaliks, Bhabar and Gangetic Alluvial Plains from North to South:(1) Siwalik Range: This forms the outermost part of Himalaya and comprises Tertiary Group of rocks. In Bhagwanpur block only Upper and Middle Siwaliks are exposed. The Upper Siwaliks is constituted of boulders, pebbles, sand and clay. The boulders and pebbles are mostly of quartzite. Middle Siwaliks comprises main-ly grey micaceous sandstone and siltstone: (ii) Older Alluvium (Piedmont Plains or Bhabar): The Piedmont Plains are formed along the foothills of Siwaliks. It is formed by flooding hill torrents and nallahs (locally termed as ‘Rao’). Alluvial fans in the piedmont zones are wider and longer when formed along mature streams. The Older Alluvium consists of polycyclic sequence of brown to grey silt, clay with boulders and pebbles: Gangetic Alluvial Plains: The region south of the piedmont plains occupied by Gangetic Allu-vial Plains, forms major part of the Bhagwanpur block. Litho logically, the alluvium is formed of unconsolidated to semi-consolidated deposits of sand, silt, clay and kankar. 46. Due to the fragile eco-system and geo-dynamic terrain, Uttarakhand State is highly vulnerable to natural disasters like earthquakes, landslides, forest fires, and cloud burst etc. According to hazard zoning in the Vulnerability Atlas of India, the whole of Uttarakhand falls under “very high” to “high” category earthquake zone. The problems of landslides, subsid-ence, and erosion are quite common in the hilly regions of the State due to combination of several factors like geological movements, structure, lithology, water seepage, soil cover, vegetal cover, weather, and climatic changes. 47. The testing of representative soil samples at two locations of 33 MLD-STP at Saliyar-Ibrahimpur were conducted by Indian Institute of Technology at Roorkee to assess the val-ues of porosity, Soil texture, moisture content, organic and Inorganic constituents of soil and Soil classification. For the following parameters the laboratory test conducted were sieve and hydrometer analysis for soil classification as per IS: 1498-1987, natural moisture content determination, maximum dry density and optimum moisture content determination as per IS-2720(Part VII)-1980 for the determination of moisture content and dry density. The repre-

48. District Hardwar experiences moderate subtropical to humid climate with three dis-tinct season’s viz. summer followed by rainy and winter seasons. Temperature begins to rise from March (29.10C) and reaches to its maximum in May (39.20C), with the commencement

20

of monsoon season by mid-June, the temperature begins to fall. During the winter season in the month of November to February the temperature ranges between 10.50C and 6.10 49. The relative humidity is highest in monsoon season (85% in the morning and 79% in the evening). The lowest humidity is observed during the month of April and May i.e. 24% (in evening) and 40% in May (in morning). 50. The average normal annual rainfall in Hardwar district is 1174.3 mm, out of which 84% is received during monsoon season and only 16% occurs during non-monsoon period. The district receives heaviest rainfall in northern part. The rainfall gradually decreases to-wards south. To study the recent trend of rainfall distribution over the district, monthly rainfall during monsoon has been given in Table 2. The monthly distribution of rainfall during the monsoon season over the district shows that July and August are the wettest month in the district having a rainfall 329.3 and 393.8 mm, respectively. The rainfall during the month of July and August is more or less the same. The monsoons retreat in the first fortnight of Octo-ber giving a meager rainfall of about 31 to 34 mm. Maximum rainfall occurs in the foothills of Himalayas and gradually decreases towards south. The detail of average annual rainfall of district Haridwar is given in Table no.10.

51. The proposed subproject does not cover industrialized areas, and hence the air pol-lution is not significant. The main sources of air pollution at present are due to emissions from mobile sources i.e. from minor vehicular traffic and windblown dust/sand. Thus, the air quality is considered to be good. The results of the baseline data of Ambient Air Quality is given in Table no. 11. Table 11 : Baseline of Ambient Air Quality of Sewerage Sub-Project at Roorkee

6. Surface Water

53. The Roorkee town is situated on the right bank of the Solani River, which is a tribu-tary of the Ganga River. The river flows north – east direction. The river is not being used as water sources because it carries water only during rainy season. Water is sometimes used for irrigation purpose and there are no domestic/industrial water extraction points on the downstream. The Upper Ganga Canal is passing through the center of Roorkee town. This canal although is always full of water however water is allocated for irrigation purpose only. River Ganga is flowing 25 Km away from the city and is towards north-east direction i.e. at Haridwar. The primary source data of Solani River from 500m upstream and 500m down-stream from the discharge point of treated sewage into Solani River is given in the Table

8. Groundwater

54. Hardwar district comes under Ganga river system. The main tributaries of Ganges like Solani, Ratmau Rao and Banganga and their feeding nallahs drain the area. These tribu-taries are ephemeral in nature. As far as canal irrigation is concerned, western part of the district is well covered with 300 km length canal network. Bhagwanpur block comes under non-command area. Hence, there is an immense pressure on ground water due to which water levels are declining at faster pace. There are 225 State Government tube wells and 32930 private tube wells. The ground water abstraction for drinking, domestic and agriculture purposes is higher in Bhagwanpur block as compared to other blocks. Most of the tube wells are drilled in central and southern part of the block. The northern part of the block has less number of tube wells.Roorkee area falls in the Gangetic alluvial plain and is underlain by recent to sub-recent fine grained sand, silt, Kankar, clay and occasional gravel and pebbles. This area is also characterized by high rate of infiltration because of being underlain by fine to medium grained sand and occasional unconsolidated and unsorted material of Gravels, having a high degree of porosity and permeability resulting in high rate of aquifer recharge. Ground water occurs in unconfined condition. And a water level generally varies from 6 me-ters to 10 meters below in pre-monsoon season. The aquifer mainly comprise of sand, silt, Kankar and occasional gravel and Pebbles. The baseline condition of ground water is given in Table no-15. However the ground water quality of 33 MLD-STP sites at Saliyar Ibrahimpur is given in Table no. 16

B. Ecological Resources

55. The hilly State of Uttarakhand has a forest cover of 65 % of its total geographical areas (slightly lower than the stipulated 66.6 % forest cover for hilly states). Roorkee City is an urban area surrounded by hilly forested areas. There is no remaining natural habitat within the developed area of the City. 56. The closet protected area is Rajaji National Park. Designated as National Park in 1964, it spreads over an area of 820 square kilometers (sq. km) and is endowed with pristine beauty and rich bio-diversity. This has over 23 species of mammals, including elephants and tigers, and 315 avifauna species. The other protected areas are: (i) Mussoorie wildlife sanc-tuary, north of Dehradun, and (ii) Asan wetland conservation reserve, northwest of Dehradun. However, none of the subproject component located in or near these protected areas.

C. Economic Development

57. Located close to the national capital Delhi and Haridwar and with its salubrious cli-mate and natural beauty, Roorkee is an educational and institutional Centre. Roorkee finds its importance by being the host of many prominent institutions and organizations. The city has contributed to the national development by producing the finest quality engineers from the renowned University of Roorkee, now called the Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee. It is also the home of various government research institutes as Central Building Research Institute (CBRI), Irrigation Research Institute (IRI) and the National Institute of Hydrology (NIH). It also has an army base of Bengal Engineering Group & Centre (BEG&C).

1. Agriculture

58. Owing to its hilly topography, agricultural development in the state is also limited. Although limited, the State draws advantage from fertile lands availability of abundant water. Dehradun and surroundings were well known for production the famous “Basmati” rice crop. However, of late, the development pressure has conversed many of these agricultural lands. 2. Infrastructure

59. Transportation: Roorkee is located on National Highway (NH) - 58 (Delhi-Haridwar/Dehra Dun-Shri Badrinath-Mana Pass) and NH-73 (Panchkula/Chandigarh-Yamuna Nagar-Roorkee). Roorkee comes under Northern Railway and is well -connected by trains (Shatabdi, Jan-Shatabdi, Mail/Express and Shuttle/Passenger) with a number of im-portant Indian cities including Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Ahmadabad, Jaipur, Luckhnow, Bhopal, Gwalior, Agra, Ujjain, Indore, Dhanbad, Patna, Jammu, Puri, Amritsar, Dehra Dun etc. 60. Power supply: Hydro power is the main source of energy in Uttarakhand. Uttarakhand Jal Vidyut Nigam Limited (UJVNL) is responsible for power generation and Uttarakhand Power Corporation Limited (UPCL) is responsible for power transmission and distribution in the State. Power is supplied from the central grid by overhead cables carried on metal and concrete poles, mainly located in public areas alongside roads. The power supply is erratic and there are frequent outages in warmer months, and large fluctuations in voltage.

D. Social and Cultural Resources

1. Demography

61. Haridwar district is in the western part of Uttaranchal state of India covering an area of about 12,306 sq./km and has 6 blocks, population of which is 17% of the state population. The district is ringed by Saharanpur in the west, Dehradun in the north and east, Pauri

26

Garhwal in the east, Muzzaffar Nagar and Bijnor in the south. The sex ratio of the district is 852 females per 1000 males which is lower than the state average of 964. Males constitute 53% of the population and females 47%. Haridwar has an average literacy rate of 56.7%, lower than the state average of 72.3 %. The male literacy rate is 64.9%, and female literacy rate is only 48.5%. Administratively district Haridwar is divided in 3 Tehsil, 6 Community De-velopment Blocks, 46 Nyaya Panchayats, 359 Grama Sabhas and 299 Gram Panchayats. 62. As of 2001 India census, Roorkee had a population of 2, 52,784. Males constituted 53% of the population and females 47%. Roorkee has an average literacy rate of 82%, high-er than the national average of 64%: male literacy is 87%, and female literacy is 81%. 11% of the population is under 6 years of age. The city has 61% Hindus, 28% Muslims, 9% Punja-bis/Sikhs, 0.3% Christians and 1.7% Jains. With a population of about 2, 52,784 inhabitants, it is the third largest Municipal Council in the state of Uttarakhand, after Haridwar & Haldwani. Languages spoken are Hindi, Urdu and Punjabi.

2. History, Culture and Tourism

63. Roorkee derives its name from Ruri, the wife of a Bargujar Rajput chieftain, and ear-lier it was even spelled as 'ruri ki'. Vernacular belief amongst villagers around Roorkee is that it got its name from "Roron ki" i.e a dwelling of Rors. 64. The Ganga Canal flowing through Roorkee was the brainchild of Sir Proby Cautley. Its construction began in 1840, and the canal was opened by Governor-General Lord Dal-housie in April 1854. Before 1840s, when the work on the Ganga Canal began under the aegis of Proby Cautley, according to an officer in British Army, Roorkee was a mere mud built village on the banks of the hill torrent, named Solani. Digging work on the Upper Ganga Canal formally began in April 1842, and soon this village started developing into a city. The canal was formally opened in April 8, 1854, irrigating over 767,000 acres (3,100 Sq.Km) in 5,000 villages. 65. Roorkee was the capital of a Moghul Mahal (similar to a present day Pargana) during the time of Akbar, as is referred in Ain-e-Akbari, authored by Abul Fazal. During the 18th century, it came under the rule of Landhaura state, till the death of its Bargujar king, Raja Ramdaval Dev in 1813 and later became a part of the territories of the British East India Company. 66. The municipality of Roorkee was created in 1868, when it was already home to the Bengal Sappers and Miners since 1853, and two artillery units were stationed here. Today, the Roorkee Cantonment has a large army base with headquarters for Bengal Engineering Group and Centre (BEG&C), also known as Bengal Sappers, established in 1803. Later in 1901, when the city had a population of 17,197, it was made headquarters of the Roorkee Tehsil, in Saharanpur district of the United Province of the British Raj; the tehsil included in it 426 villages (of the parganas of Jwalapur, Manglaur and Bhagwanpur) and six towns, most important among them being Haridwar and Manglaur. The Old Cemetery in the city is today a protected monument, by Archaeological Survey of India. 67. Roorkee is also famous for the shrine of 13th century, Sufi saint Alauddin Sabir Kaliyari - the dargah is also known as Sarkar Sabir Pak - situated in Piran Kaliyar village, where an annual 15-day spiritual fair (Urs) is held in his honour. 68. Before the creation of Uttarakhand on November 9, 2000, Roorkee was a part of the state of Uttar Pradesh.

IV. Anticipated Impacts and Mitigation Measures

69. This section of the updated IEE reviews possible subproject-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 shall be analyzed during pre-construction, construction, and operational stages in the context of the subproject’s area of influence. As defined previ-ously, the primary impact areas are (i) distribution network sites; (ii) main routes and/or inter-sections which will be traversed by construction vehicles; and (iii) quarries and borrow pits as sources of construction materials. The secondary impact areas are: (i) entire Roorkee town area outside of the delineated primary impact area; and (ii) entire Haridwar district in terms of over-all environmental improvement. 70. The ADB Rapid Environmental Assessment Checklist for Sewerage in http://www.adb.org/documents/guidelines/environmental_assessment/eaguidelines002.asp was used to screen the subproject for environmental impacts and to determine the scope of the IEE investigation. The completed Checklist is found in Appendix 2. All the proposed sub-project components will interact physically with the environment. 71. In the case of this subproject (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; and (ii) most of the predicted impacts are associated with the con-struction process, and are produced because that process involves excavation and earth movements (iii) mostly being located in the built-up area of Roorkee town, will not cause di-rect impact on biodiversity values. The subproject will be in properties owned and acquired by the local government and access to the subproject locations is through public Right of Way and existing roads hence, land acquisition and encroachment on private property will not occur.

A. Pre-construction - Location & Design

72. Site Selection The site selected for establishment of 33 MLD-STP is Saliyar Ibrahimpur village and adjacent to Landfill site. The location is upstream of Roorkee. A site visit and focused group discus-sion was taken up to identify the downstream impacts of the STP. The potential impacts and its analysis are:

(i) Soil erosion due to discharge of STP in excess to the flow capacity of the river. Outlet structure will be constructed for smooth flow of treated water into river. So, soil erosion is not expected.

(ii) Any flooding risks downstream of the discharge point. River bed is more than 50 meter width and it remains dry in most part of the year and there is not contraction of river width so flooding is not anticipated.

(iii) Impact on riverine ecosystem or sensitive ecosystem if available on the downstream. The downstream is mostly agriculture and there is no sensitive ecosystem.

(iv) Impact on sensitive community asset if available on the bank of the river. There is no sensitive community ecosystem. There is a community crematorium in downstream at about 2.5 km from the proposed discharge point in Solani River. So there will not be any impact due to selection of STP site at Ibrahimpur Saliar.

(v) Acceptability of discharge of STP by the local people living in the downstream of the discharge point of the STP. Around 5 villages are in the downstream of the discharge point of STP. These are Saliyar, Ibrahimpur, Rampuri, Shankarpur, Brahampuri, and Khanjarpur. The Ibrahimpur is having population of about 3500.

73. Design of the Proposed Components. The Central Public Health and Environment Engineering Organization manual suggests a design period of 15-30 years. The sewerage components were designed following the recommendations of the Central Public Health and Environment Engineering Organization Manual for Waste water. 74. Impacts arise from the design of the project including the technology used, scale of operation/throughput, waste production, discharge specification, pollution sources and ancil-lary services. Since this is only a rehabilitation project, no design impacts envisaged. 75. Impacts associated with the planning mainly depend on the site selection. Location impacts include on-site biophysical array and encroachment / impact either directly or indi-rectly on adjacent environments. It also includes the impacts on the people who might lose their homes or livelihoods due to the development of the proposed site. Impacts due to en-croachment into private properties, forest land and cutting of trees and damage to vegetation: 76. Sewerage Network Improvement Most subproject components involve simple construction and low operation and mainte-nance, so it is unlikely that there will be major impacts. The pipeline replacement works, the only component that involve considerable construction activity, are located in the City area where there are no sensitive natural habitats. The pipelines are aligned in the vacant land adjacent to the roads within the ROW, so there are unlikely to be any location impacts. 77. Sewage Treatment Plant It is estimated that the proposed sewage treatment plant requires about 3 ha of land includ-ing that for green buffer areas around the plant. The IPMU has identified a site adjoining the River Solani near the agricultural land at Roorkee. This site is owned by the Nagar Nigam Department and already transferred to Uttarakhand Urban Sector for construction of 33MLD- STP at Saliyar Ibrahimpur. The photographs of construction site are given in Appendix-5. The land transfer certificate from Nagar Nigam Department is given in Appendix-7. Site has been selected based on the availability of that much of land in an isolated area and availability of irrigation land adjacent to that site, which will be irrigated by the treated effluent of the STP’s in future. 78. Due to the following reasons, this site is considered technically most appropriate for STP:

(i) Topographically this site is most suitable and allows complete gravity flow system.

(ii) There is no vacant government land to the tune of 3 ha is available further down-stream of Solani River

(iii) In general land availability in Roorkee is very limited 79. The Roorkee town is situated on the right bank of the Solani River, which is a tribu-tary of the Ganga River. The river flows north – east direction. The river is not being used as water sources because it carries water only during rainy season. Water is sometimes used for irrigation purpose and there are no domestic/industrial water extraction points on the downstream. Therefore there will not be any impacts on the River due to disposal of treated water. Actually, the river will be improved due to prevention of raw sewage disposal and since the sewage will be treated to the applicable disposal standards of surface water there will not be any impacts.

29

80. Sewage Pumping Station One SPS having capacity of 74 MLD is proposed at existing defunct SPS at Mahigram area of Roorkee. The existing SPS will be replaced with new one. This site is considered techni-cally most appropriate as topographically this site is most suitable and allows complete gravi-ty flow system. Site belongs to Uttarakhand Jal sansthan hence only transfer of land is re-quired. Dedicated power line will be provided for operation of SPS. For alternate supply, generator will be provided. Site is located in inhabited area hence green buffer zone is pro-posed to take care of nuisance. SPS will be equipped with deodorization devices to take care of nearby residential areas by preventing production of odor. Removal of Grit and Plastic in raw sewage will also be taken care at Pumping stations, with their cleaning and safe dispos-al. The orientation of SPS will be such that to avoid any odor emissions in prevailing wind direction. 81. The second SPS having capacity 25 MLD is proposed at Ganeshpur area of Roorkee. Currently the land is vacant and unused. Site is suitable for gravity flow system. Land belong to Uttarakhand Jal sansthan hence no requirement of private land acquisition. No tree cutting is required. Dedicated power line will be provided for operation of SPS. For alternate supply, generator will be provided. Site is located in inhabited areas hence green buffer zone is proposed to take care of nuisance. SPS will be equipped with deodorization devices to take care of nearby residential areas by preventing production of odor. Removal of Grit and Plastic in raw sewage will also be taken care at Pumping stations, with their cleaning and safe disposal. The orientation of SPS will be such that to avoid any odor emissions in prevailing wind direction. 82. Climatic Change Risk -Potential flooding of STP site: Although seasonal, Solani Riv-er flow is considerable during the rains. River is very shallow and the banks are not well de-fined. It is possible that the site is flooded during heavy rains. However, discussion with the local people indicates that the site was not flooded recently. Therefore there may not be any flood problem; however, it is important that this factor has been considered by studying the high flood level (HFL) of the river. 83. The STP has been designed considering the high flood level (HFL). However earth-en bund and necessary slope protection measures to be provided for flood protection to-wards river side. The detailed engineering aspects will be undertaken by Contractor with the competent authority’s approval. 84. Odor nuisance due to STP: STP will be located in the agricultural zone where no settlement is nearby. Figure 5 shows the Wind Rose diagram of Roorkee. As shown, the prominent wind direction is from west for 20.5 % of time, south for 14 % of time and South West for 12 % of time. Calm condition is for 47 % of time. Figure 6 shows the location of STP and nearby settlement on goggle image. As shown, nearby settlements around proposed STP site are located in mostly South and South West direction and more than 500m away. The prominent wind direction is towards East and North. Hence, the proposed STP is most suitable location considering odor nuisance as nearby settlement are unlikely to be affected. 85. The STP has been planned Extended Aeration-SBR process, odor generation will be minimal. In this technology, sludge production is minimal and quality is also not offensive. Only some storage is required and after that the sludge can be utilized as manure in the nearby agricultural fields. 86. Green buffer zone: Sewage Pumping Station units are located in inhabited area hence a green buffer zone has been proposed to be developed around the SPS units to tack-le the all nuisances and aesthetic aspect. The tree species will be local species having thick

30

foliage. Also green buffer zone proposed around STP considering future development around premises. 87. Grit collection and disposal at STP: Mechanical course and fine screen will be pro-vided at STP to prevent the grit from entering into process unit. Scraping of deposited grit at regular interval is designed by providing rotating scrapper on the screen. The collected grit being of inert nature and having small quantity will be disposed at identified site within STP premises. There is no chance of other type of solid waste such as plastic; paper, glass etc. enter into the proposed sewerage system. 88. Impairment of downstream water quality due to inadequate sewage treatment or release of untreated sewage: The disposal of treated sewage will be to Solani River through proper outfall. The disposal of untreated/partially treated sewage may deteriorate the quality of receiving water body, the Solani River. Therefore it is imperative to treat the sewage to acceptable levels. Since the river is seasonal, minimum dilution will be available and there-fore requires stringent disposal standards. Further, as the Roorkee experiences large tem-perature fluctuations from low temperature during winters to high temperature in summers, the treatment efficiency may affect considerably. Malfunction/ overflow of units may cause flooding and nuisance. The following mitigation measures are therefore necessary to incorporate into the design:

(i) Selected treatment process is suitable and withstands to large temperature fluctua-tions

(ii) Selected treatment process involves simple operation and maintenance.

(iii) STP has been designed to meet prescribed CPCB disposal standards

(iv) Continues monitoring system will be developed to check the treatment efficiency. Develop laboratory facility within the STP.

(v) Operational manual will be prepared as a reference guide to maintain the discharge standards.

(vi) Bye-pass arrangement will be made on unit basis to avoid release of untreated sew-age, if any.

(vii) Uninterrupted power supply will be through dedicated power line. In case of power failure, provision of alternate power supply through generator is proposed.

(viii) System has been designed to provide for high flows/volumes. Bye-pass arrange-ments have been made to minimize unexpected overflows.

89. Site selection of sources of materials. Extraction of materials can disrupt natural land contours and vegetation resulting in accelerated erosion, disturbance in natural drainage patterns, pounding and water logging, and water pollution. To mitigate the potential environ-mental impacts, locations of quarry site/s and borrow pit/s (for loose material other than stones) would be included in the design specifications and on plan drawings. Priority would be sites already permitted by Mining Department. If other sites are necessary, these would to be located away from population centers, drinking water intakes and streams, cultivable lands, and natural drainage systems; and in structurally stable areas even if some distance from construction activities. It will be the construction contractor’s responsibility to verify the suitability of all material sources and to obtain the approval of the Roorkee Nagar palika. If additional quarries will be required after construction is started, then the Construction Con-tractor shall use the mentioned criteria to select new quarry sites, with written approval of municipal council.

B. Construction Impacts

1. Construction Method

90. Sewerage Network Improvement: The proposed 120 km sewer network, consisting of branch, sub-main and main sewers of 200 mm to 1000 mm diameter RCC pipes, will be laid within the city area including the high density areas of the core city and low density areas in the outskirts. This network will convey sewage to proposed STP near Solani River. As earlier stated, sewers will be laid in the un-used area within the ROW. In narrower roads where there is no land available, the trenches will be dug into the edge of the road. Generally in narrow roads only branch sewers of 200 mm – 250 mm will be required and bigger main sewers are located along the main roads, where generally sufficient vacant land along the road will be available. 91. Sewers will be buried in trench of 1 to 5 m deep (average is about 3 m) and width between 400 mm for 200 mm dia sewer to 1000 mm for 600 mm dia sewer. The trenches will be excavated by a backhoe digger substantiated by manual digging. Excavation in CC roads and hard rock surfaces will be carried out by handheld pneumatic drill. Excavated soil will be placed nearby and a bed of sand or gravel - obtained from local quarries, will be prepared at the bottom of the trench. Sewers (brought to site on trucks and stored on unused land near-by) will be placed in the trench over the sand/gravel bed using a small rig or manually. Pipes will be joined by hand, after which excavated soil will be replaced around and on top of the sewers manually and the refilled material will be compacted by a vibrating compressor. In-spection manholes at regular intervals in the network will be constructed in brick masonry and provided with a steel cover for inspection purposes. 92. Sewage Treatment Plant: The STP will be constructed in units of RCC structures. Foundations dug by backhoe, and concrete and aggregate will be tipped in to create the foundations, walls and floor. Large quantities of sand and aggregate will be brought to the site by trucks. Concrete will then be mixed by batch-mixing plant to be installed at the site for construction purpose. The STP equipment and pipelines will be mostly of mild steel, DI pipes which will be arranged by cranes or laid manually. About 50 workers will be employed at the site and therefore tempo-rary labour camp may be required if workers are brought from outside. 93. Sewage Pumping Station: The SPS will be constructed in units of RCC structures. Foundations dug by back-hoe, and concrete and aggregate will be tipped in to create the foundations, walls and floor. Large quantities of sand and aggregate will be brought to the site by trucks. Concrete will then be mixed by batch-mixing plant to be installed at the site for construction purpose. The pumping sets and pipelines will be mostly of mild steel, DI pipes which will be arranged by cranes or laid manually. No temporary labor camp is required.

18. Construction Impacts

94. Construction impacts are associated with site cleaning, earth works, physical con-struction related materials movements and works, machinery, vehicles, and workers. It also includes erosion, dust, noise, traffic congestion and waste production associated with the construction activities. 95. Sources of Materials: Significant amount of gravel, sand, and cement will be required for this subproject. The construction contractor will be required to:

(i) Use material sources permitted by government;

32

(ii) Verify suitability of all material sources and obtain approval of design and supervi-sion consultant (DSC); and

(iii) Submit to DSC on a monthly basis documentation of sources of materials.

96. Air Quality: Emissions from construction vehicles, equipment, and machinery used for excavation and construction will 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 hydrocar-bons) but temporary and during construction activities only. To mitigate the impacts, con-struction contractors will be required to:

(i) Consult with DSC on the designated areas for stockpiling of clay, soils, gravel, and other construction materials;

(ii) Excavate the overhead storage reservoirs foundations at the same time as the ac-cess roads (if needed) are built so that dug material is used immediately, avoiding the need to stockpile on site;

(iii) Damp down exposed soil and any stockpiled on site by spraying with water when necessary during dry weather;

(iv) Use tarpaulins to cover sand and other loose material when transported by trucks; and

(v) Fit all heavy equipment and machinery with air pollution control devices which are operating correctly.

97. Earthwork involved in STP construction will also be significant. Large quantities of construction materials such as sand, cement, bricks, gravel etc will be transported, unloaded and handled at the site and therefore there is large potential to generate dust. Since the site is located in the outskirts with no major development, impact likely to be minimal. 98. Surface Water Quality: Roorkee receives high intensity rains during monsoons and there are a number of natural and man-made drainage channels criss-crossing the city to carry the runoff safely. Runoff from the excavated areas and material and waste soil stocks likely to contain silt, and this silt runoff will deteriorate the water bodies by silting. Since STP site is located adjacent to the River Solani, the runoff from the construction area likely to af-fect the water body. Large-scale silting is likely to lead to flooding. This impact will however be considered only during rainy season. These potential impacts are temporary and short-term duration only and to ensure these are mitigated, construction contractor will be required to:

(i) Avoid stockpiling of earth fill especially during the monsoon season unless covered by tarpaulins or plastic sheets;

99. The soil can be utilized for STP construction, where it appears that requires a large quantity of soil raise the level to HFL.

(i) Prioritize re-use of excess spoils and materials in the construction works. If spoils will be disposed, consult with DSC on designated disposal areas;

(ii) Install temporary silt traps or sedimentation basins along the drainage leading to the water bodies;

(iii) Place storage areas for fuels and lubricants away from any drainage leading to water bodies;

(iv) Dispose any wastes generated by construction activities in designated sites; and (v) Protection of STP site with interception drains

33

(vi) Conduct surface quality inspection according to the Environmental Management Plan (EMP).

100. Noise Levels. There are no health facilities, scheduled or unscheduled historical, archaeological, paleontological, or architectural sites near the construction sites. However, construction works will be on settlements, along and near schools, and areas with small-scale businesses. The sensitive receptors are the general population in these areas. In-crease in noise level may be caused by excavation equipment, and the transportation of equipment, materials, and people. Impact is negative, short-term, and reversible by mitigation measures. The construction contractor will be required to:

(i) Plan activities in consultation with DSC so that activities with the greatest potential to generate noise are conducted during periods of the day which will result in least dis-turbance;

(ii) Require horns not be used unless it is necessary to warn other road users or animals of the vehicle’s approach;

(iii) Minimize noise from construction equipment by using vehicle silencers, fitting jack-hammers with noise-reducing mufflers, and portable street barriers the sound impact to surrounding sensitive receptor; and

(iv) Maintain maximum sound levels not exceeding 80 decibels when measured at a dis-tance of 10 m or more from the vehicle/s.

101. Existing Infrastructure and Facilities. Excavation works can damage existing in-frastructure located alongside roads, in particular water supply pipes. It will be particularly important to avoid damaging existing water pipes. It is therefore important that construction contractors will be required to:

(i) Obtain from DSC the list of affected utilities and operators; and

(ii) Prepare a contingency plan to include actions to be done in case of unintentional interruption of services

102. Landscape and Aesthetics:The construction works will produce excess excavated, excess construction materials, and solid waste such as removed concrete, wood, trees and plants, packaging materials, empty containers, spoils, oils, lubricants, and other similar items. These impacts are negative but short-term and reversible by mitigation measures. The con-struction contractor will be required to:

(i) Prepare and implement Waste Management List; (ii) Avoid stockpiling of excess excavated soils; (iii) Coordinate with UPJN for beneficial uses of excess excavated soils or immediately

dispose to designated areas; (iv) Recover used oil and lubricants and reuse or remove from the sites; (v) Manage solid waste according to the following preference hierarchy: reuse, recycling

and disposal to designated areas; (vi) Remove all wreckage, rubbish, or temporary structures which are no longer required;

and (vii) Request DSC to report in writing that the necessary environmental restoration work

has been adequately performed before acceptance of work. 103. Surface and Groundwater Quality: Another physical impact that is often associated with excavation is the effect on drainage and the local water table if groundwater and surface water collect in the voids. To ensure that water will not pond in pits and voids near subproject location, the construction contractor will be required to conduct excavation works on non-monsoon season.

34

104. Roorkee receives high rains during the monsoon, and there are a number of natural and man-made drainage channels criss-crossing the City to carry runoff safely. Runoff from the excavated areas, and material and waste soil stocks likely to contain silt, and this silt run-off will deteriorate the water bodies by silting. Large-scale silting can lead to flooding. Since STP site is located adjacent to the River Solani, the runoff from the construction area likely to affect the water body. Large scale silting may affect the flow any cause flooding. The follow-ing measures are suggested to mitigate the impact:

(i) Avoid excavation activities during monsoon. Ensure that works complete before on-set of monsoon.

(ii) Minimize on-site storage of waste soil/material.

(iii) Provide interception drains to avoid submergence of trenches, and dispose the run-off quickly.

(iv) Protection of STP site with interception drains 105. Accessibility. Hauling of construction materials and operation of equipment on-site can cause traffic problems. Potential impact is negative but short term and reversible by miti-gation measures. The construction contractor will be required to:

(i) Plan transportation routes so that heavy vehicles do not use narrow local roads, ex-cept in the immediate vicinity of delivery sites;

(ii) Schedule transport and hauling activities during non-peak hours; (iii) Locate entry and exit points in areas where there is low potential for traffic conges-

tion; (iv) Keep the site free from all unnecessary obstructions; (v) Drive vehicles in a considerate manner; (vi) Coordinate with government’s traffic department for temporary road diversions and

with for provision of traffic aids if transportation activities cannot be avoided during peak hours; and

(vii) Notify affected sensitive receptors by providing sign boards informing nature and du-ration of construction works and contact numbers for concerns and/or complaints.

106. Socio-Economic – Income. The subproject components will be located in govern-ment land. Construction works will impede the access of residents to specific site in limited cases. The potential impacts are negative and moderate but short-term and temporary. The construction contractor will be required to:

(i) Leave spaces for access between mounds of soil; (ii) Provide walkways and metal sheets where required to maintain access across for

people and vehicles; (iii) Increase workforce in front of critical areas such as institutions, place of worship,

business establishment, hospitals, and schools; (iv) Consult businesses and institutions regarding operating hours and factoring this in

work schedules; and (v) Provide sign boards for pedestrians to inform nature and duration of construction

works and contact numbers for concerns and/or complaints. 107. Socio-Economic – Employment. Manpower will be required during the 18-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:

(i) Employ majority of the labor force, or to the maximum extent, local persons within the 2-kms immediate area if manpower is available; and

35

(ii) If available, secure construction materials from local market. 108. Occupational Health and Safety. Workers need to be mindful of the occupational 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 plan which will include measures such as: (a) excluding public from the site; (b) ensuring all workers are provided with and use Personal Protective Equipment; (c) health and safety 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 health and safety 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 haz-ardous 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 de-

vices and lines, service rooms housing high voltage equipment, and areas for stor-age 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 decibels for a duration of more than 8 hours per day without hearing protection. The use of hearing protection shall be enforced actively.

109. Community Health and Safety. Hazards posed to the public, specifically in high-pedestrian areas may include traffic accidents and vehicle collision with pedestrians. In most of the cases location of project sites at isolated area, hence health and safety risk to commu-nity is minimum. Potential impact is negative but short-term and reversible by mitigation measures. The construction contractor will be required to:

(i) Plan routes to avoid times of peak-pedestrian activities; (ii) Liaise with DSC in identifying risk areas on route cards and/or maps; (iii) Maintain regularly the vehicles and use of manufacturer-approved parts to mini

mize potentially serious accidents caused by equipment malfunction or premature failure; and

(iv) Provide road signs and flag persons to warn of dangerous conditions, in case of location near the road.

36

110. Work Camps: Operation of work camps can cause temporary air and noise pollution from machine operation, water pollution from storage and use of fuels, oils, solvents, and lubricants. Potential impacts are negative but short-term and reversible by mitigation measures. Consultation with DSC revealed that it is unlikely that work camps are required for this subproject. In the case that it will be needed, the construction contractor will be required to:

(i) Consult with DSC before locating project offices, sheds, and construction plants; (ii) Minimize removal of vegetation and disallow cutting of trees; (iii) Provide water and sanitation facilities for employees; (iv) Prohibit employees from cutting of trees for firewood; (v) Train employees in the storage and handling of materials which can potentially cause

soil contamination; (vi) Recover used oil and lubricants and reuse or remove from the site; (vii) Manage solid waste according to the following preference hierarchy: reuse, recy-

cling and disposal to designated areas; (viii) Remove all wreckage, rubbish, or temporary structures which are no longer required;

and (ix) Request DSC to report in writing that the camp has been vacated and restored to

pre-project conditions before acceptance of work. 111. Social and Cultural Resources: For this subproject, excavation will occur at specif-ic isolated location, so it could be that there is a low risk of such impacts. Nevertheless, the construction contractor will be required to:

(i) Stop work immediately to allow further investigation if any finds are suspected (ii) Inform DSC if a find is suspected, and take any action they require ensuring its re-

moval or protection in site; and (iii) Request DSC or any authorized person with archaeological and/or historical field

training to observe excavation.

C. Operational and Maintenance (O& M) Impacts

112. The main operation and maintenance activity involved in this subproject is sewage treatment to applicable standards and clearance of blockages and leaks in the sewer network in order to allow smooth sewage flow. Blockages in the sewers will be removed using sewer jetting equipment or manually. Sewers will be accessed through manholes. Leak repair work will be similar to the sewer laying work as earlier explained. Trenches will be dug to reveal the leaking area and the faulty sewer will be re-fitted, or the sewer will be removed and re-placed if necessary. 113. Recurrence of blockage and leakage problems: Although the impact is likely to be minimal due to new and well design efficient system, it should be ensured that leak detection and restoration time is minimized to the extent possible. 114. Degradation of environmental quality such as surface water and ground water: Deg-radation of treatment efficiency may deteriorate the quality of receiving water body, the Solani River. Therefore it must be ensured that treated water meets the set disposal stand-ards. Mitigation Measures are:

(i) Treated water should meet disposal standard for BOD, TSS, Fecal coli forms etc.

(ii) Conduct regular (daily) wastewater quality monitoring (at inlet and outlet of treatment plant)

37

(iii) Conduct regular (monthly) quality monitoring of Solani River water on the down-stream side of disposal point

(iv) Conduct occasional (thrice-a-year) ambient air quality monitoring 115. Occupational Health and Safety of workmen engaged for operation of the plant: STP operation involves handling of large quantities of potentially hazardous sewage and sludge. Therefore workers involved in operation may at health risk, if appropriate precautions are not in place. Mitigation Measures are:

(i) Protective appropriate personal protective gear such as boots, gloves, masks at all the workers.

(ii) Eliminate manual handling of wastewater/sludge.

(iii) Provide training for workers in system operation and maintenance and safety related aspects

(iv) Ensure adequate emergency first-aid facilities in the facility. 116. Nuisance to the people living adjacent to the SPS & STP: Improper operation and breakdown will lead to the accumulation of untreated wastewater at the plant site that may cause malodorous conditions and nuisance to the surrounding population. To minimize this impact, Standard Operational Procedures (SOP) detailing the operational procedures, preventive maintenance of equipments etc. will be prepared. Regular training shall be pro-vided to the workmen and staff. Green buffer zone will help in reducing nuisances and will enhance aesthetic condition of area. Dedicated power line will be provided for operation of STP and SPS. For alternate supply, generator will be provided.

D. Cumulative Impact Assessment

117. The cumulative impact assessment examined the interaction between the subpro-ject’s residual effects (i.e., those effects that remain after mitigation measures have been applied) and those associated with other past, existing and reasonably foreseeable future projects or activities. The interaction of residual effects associated with multiple projects and/or activities can result in cumulative impacts, both positive and negative. The subpro-ject’s potential cumulative effects were considered with respect to valued components in the categories of environmental, socio-economic, and heritage resources in four areas:

(i) Any potential residual project effects that may occur incrementally over time; (ii) Consideration of other known relevant projects or activities within the specified study

area boundaries, even if not directly related to the subproject; (iii) Potential overlapping impacts that may occur due to other developments, even if not

directly related to the proposed project; and (iv) Future developments that is reasonably foreseeable and sufficiently certain to pro-

ceed. 118. In addition, the cumulative impact assessment considered the scope or influence of the subproject. Two boundaries, spatial and temporal, were used. Given there is no sewer-age system exists in Roorkee at present and proposed sewer system is designed consider-ing future population growth, there are no significant cumulative impacts expected on the future sewerage management. 119. The subproject updated IEE has identified the valued components as air quality, water (surface and groundwater) quality, noise, geophysical (hydro geological), traffic man-agement, social-economic and socio-community, and human health. There are no foreseea-ble projects that will overlap with the subproject. The spatial boundary of the subproject is the

38

area along the alignment and the existing ROWs and STP & SPS locations. The temporal boundary can be considered as the whole Roorkee town. 120. Air quality effects will occur during construction. Consequently, although emissions of common air contaminants (CAC) and fugitive dust may be elevated in proximity to active work sites, this impact will be short-term and localized to the immediate vicinity of the align-ment. Greenhouse gas emissions may increase as a result of project activities (i.e., vehicle and equipment operation, concrete production, disposal of excavated material, land filling of residual wastes). Given the subproject’s relatively minor contribution to CAC and greenhouse gas emissions during construction, the overall significance rating of both these potential re-sidual effects is considered to be negligible during construction. 121. During construction noise levels in the immediate proximity of most work sites are expected to increase. The duration of this exposure will be relatively brief. This exposure represents a temporary, localized, adverse residual effect of low to moderate significance for affected receptors. While building damage due to ground vibrations is unlikely, there may annoyance to spatially located receptors during construction. Noise levels associated with the project operations will be largely imperceptible as the SPS are located in relatively small sites within the town proper. 122. Land use/traffic management concerns will occur spatially during construction. Dur-ing construction, site-specific mitigation measures will be implemented to address temporary disruptions to land use and access in the vicinity of the alignment such as road and sidewalk closures, traffic delays and detours, parking modifications, and increased volumes of con-struction–related traffic. There should be improved traffic movement along the alignment once construction is completed. Since the subproject will be built in undeveloped land ear-marked for this purposes, it will not conflict with existing or planned land use. However, fol-lowing improvement in infrastructures and services, added residential developments, com-mercial and business facilities and increased densities are expected to develop and enhance the subproject area. This can be considered a long-term cumulative benefit of the subproject. 123. Adverse impacts such as localized disruption of vehicle traffic and pedestrian move-ments in areas along the alignment, and elevated CAC and fugitive dust emissions in proxim-ity to work sites, elevated noise and vibration levels and visual impacts will occur during con-struction. These short-term effects will be mitigated by providing alternate travel routes or alternating traffic movements and, where possible, access to businesses, schools and resi-dences. However, upon completion of construction the socio-community will benefit from improved sewerage system. This is considered a long-term cumulative benefit. 124. Development at the pump houses sites and in the vicinity of the subproject may re-sult in similar impacts relative to water quality and soils, but each impact are independent of one another and are mitigated on a site-specific basis. Further, while water quality impacts have the ability to compound when taking into account regional water basins into considera-tion, the subproject will be required to adhere to the mandatory state and local laws, ordi-nances, regulations, and water quality standards. Regional geologic impacts do not generally compound, and are limited to the site at which they occur. 125. The subproject, when considered with other projects in the same watershed, may result in cumulative impacts to surface and groundwater quality from increased surface im-permeability and resultant runoff. Construction projects could result in increased erosion from exposed soil areas, which could contribute sediments into local drainage courses and other waterways. However, it is reasonably assumed that new construction associated with future projects will be required to meet national, state, and local construction and operation stand-

39

ards at least as rigorous as those required at present. Therefore, the potential for cumulative impacts to water quality and soils is deemed to be less than significant. 126. No adverse residual effects to human health will occur as a result of subproject con-struction or operation. While exposure to elevated noise levels and fugitive dust and CAC emissions will occur in proximity to subproject work sites during construction, due to their short-term, localized nature, these effects are expected to be minor and insignificant with no measurable effects on human health. The subproject operations will benefit the general pub-lic by contributing to the long-term improvement of sewerage system and community livability in Roorkee.

V. Institutional Arrangements

127. The Urban Development Department (UDD) is the Executing Agency (EA) of the In-vestment Program. The EA has set up a state-level Investment Program Management Unit (PMU).The Implementing Agencies (IAs) for the Investment Program are: the Uttarakhand Peya Jal Nigam (UPJN) for sewerage and sewerage sub-projects, and the Public Works Department (PWD) for roads and traffic management sub-projects. A special cell within the PMU, with assis-tance from Urban Local Bodies (ULBs), will be the IA for solid waste management and slum im-provement sub-projects. The IAs will set-up district-level Investment Program Implementation Units (PIUs) to manage implementation of sub-projects in their districts. The PMU is assisted by Investment Program Management Consultants (PMC) who provides program management sup-port, assure the technical quality of design and construction, and provide advice on policy reforms. PIUs will be assisted by Design and Supervision Consultants (DSC), who design the infrastruc-ture, manage tendering of Contractors and supervise the construction process. Construction Con-tractors (CC) are appointed to build elements of the infrastructure. The CCs are managed by the PIUs, and construction activities are supervised by the DSC. 128. An Environment and Social Management Cell (EMSC) has been set up within the PMU to address environmental and social issues of UUSDIP, and is staffed by an Environmental Spe-cialist and a Social Development Specialist. The EMSC is assisted by the PMC. The DSC through their environment specialists are conducting environmental assessments including the preparation of IEEs or EIAs and other assessments required for clearances. The DSC is also responsible for incorporation of mitigation measures in design and construction and construction-stage environ-mental monitoring. 129. The PMC reviews and approve IEEs, oversee disclosure and consultations, and will monitor the implementation of environmental monitoring plan and environmental management plan where required. The CC is responsible to implement mitigation measures in construction. Implementation of mitigation and monitoring measures during the operation and maintenance (O&M) is the responsibility of the respective IAs, which are also the O&M agencies. Government regulatory agencies such as the Uttarakhand Environmental Protection and Pollution Control Board (UEPPCB) are also monitor the environmental performance according to government regu-lations. 130. The Construction of 33MLD-STP and laying of sewer lines at Roorkee will be supervised by DSC and implemented and managed by IPIU and IPMU.

VI. Grevances Redress Mechanism

131. As the work is being done in inhabited areas, most of the impacts are construction-related, and therefore it is anticipated that improper or inadequate implementation of EMP may lead to disturbance and inconvenience to local people. In order to provide a direct channel to the affected persons for approaching project authorities and have their grievance recorded and re-dressed in an appropriate time frame, IPMU will establish a Grievance Redress Mechanism, which will be functioned throughout the construction period. 132. A Complaint receiving system will be put in place at each site with the help of CAPP NGO. A Complaint Register and Complaint Forms will be made available at the site office of each contractor, with a display board indicating availability of such facility. This will accept complaints regarding the environment safeguard issues in implementation of the subproject. The grievances received and actions taken will be included into the environmental monitoring reports submitted to ADB. The following 4-stage process will be followed in grievance redress:

42

133. Stage 1: Complaints received (written or oral communication) will be registered in Com-plaint Register assigning complaint number with date of receipt

(i) The DSC/IPIU will review the complaint and direct the Contractor for necessary action; depending on the type/nature of complaint the Contractor will be given reasonable time for corrective action

(ii) CAPP NGO will inform the complainant, within 24 hours, the time frame in which the cor-rective action will be taken by e-mail or telephonically; if the grievance referred will not fall under the purview of the subproject/program, the same will be intimated to the complain-ant

(iii) Contractor will take corrective action or as directed by DSC

(iv) The CAPP NGO in coordination with DSC will conduct the site visit to check the action taken and its appropriateness

(v) The action taken will be documented in the Complaint Register, and the complaint will be closed if it is satisfactorily addressed, and the complainant will be informed through e-mail/telephonically

134. Stage 2: In case of no satisfactory action in Stage-1, the complainant can approach IPMU/IPMC for necessary action; CAPP NGO will assist the complainant in this:

(i) IPMU with the assistance of IPMC will initiate action and take the corrective measures as required, and CAPP NGO will intimate the complainant about the action taken

(ii) Upon satisfaction of complainant, the case will be closed and marked as resolved 135. Stage 3: if non-satisfied stage-2, the complainant can approach the Grievance Redress Committee. 136. Stage 4: If it is not resolved at GRC, the complainant can approach Court of Law. Howev-er, as none of the impacts are complex, long-term or significant, it is unlikely that there will be any unresolved issues after the first three stages. 137. Grievance Redress Committee: The City Level Committee (CLC) will act as a grievance redress committee (GRC) for both environment & social safeguard issues. The CLC is chaired by Mayor of Roorkee Nagar Palika and has member from civil society, elected representatives and government officials. Grievances related to environmental safeguards will be handling by CLC in its regular meetings. The IPMU Environment Officer and CAPP NGO will assist the CLC in these matters.

C. Environmental Management and Monitoring Costs

148. There were many construction stage impacts but these are typical for the construc-tion activity and mitigation provided is mainly in terms of good construction practices like water sprinkling to arrest dust generation, and clearing of excess soil, which will be incorporated into the construction contractor’s contractual agreements, which will be binding for implementation. Therefore there will be no additional costs for environmental management. The operation phase mitigation measures are again for good operating practices, which will be the responsi-bility of operating agency; therefore there are no additional costs. 149. The monitoring proposed mainly includes site inspections and informal discussions with workers and local people, and this will be the responsibility of IPMU, costs of which are part of project management. The air quality, and noise level monitoring of construction phase will be conducted by Contractor, since this is an additional cost, it needs to be part of subpro-ject cost. 150. The environmental management and monitoring costs are summarized in Table below. The costs of environmental management and monitoring costs are estimates as Rs 8, 88,000 during the implementation (design and construction) and during operation and maintenance is given in Table no.27.

VII. Findings and Recommendations

151. The Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) process described in the earlier sections of this report has assessed the environmental impacts of all elements of the infrastructure pro-posed under the Roorkee Sewerage Subproject. Potential negative impacts were identified in relation to both construction and operation of the improved infrastructure, but no impacts were identified as being due to either the project design or location. Mitigation measures have been developed in generic way to reduce all negative impacts to acceptable levels. These were dis-cussed with specialists responsible for the engineering aspects, and as a result most measures have already been included in the outline designs for the infrastructure. 152. The potential adverse environmental impacts of the proposed Sewerage subproject are mainly related to the construction period, which can be minimized by the proposed mitigat-ing measures and environmentally sound engineering and construction practices. Mitigation measures have been developed to reduce all negative impacts to acceptable levels. 153. The change of site of STP does not incite the nature of environmental impact but the length of rising main increases from 1200 meters to 3800 meters. This results quantum of ex-cavation in terms of length. The excavated earth will be used for community purpose this will be done in consultation with community. 154. During the construction phase, impacts mainly arise from the need to dispose of large quantities of waste soil and import a similar amount of sand to support the pipes in the trench-es; and from the disturbance of residents, businesses, traffic and important buildings by the construction work. These are common impacts of construction in urban areas, and there are well developed methods for their mitigation. These include:

(i) Finding beneficial uses for waste material; (ii) Covering soil and sand during transportation and when stored on site; (iii) Planning work to minimize disruption of traffic and communities; (iv) Providing temporary structures to maintain access across trenches where required.

155. Specific impacts due to construction of 33-STP adjacent to Solani River has been iden-tified and measures such as the following are suggested:

(i) No construction material storage/ancillary works nearby river bank; (ii) No labour camps to be set up nearby river bank (iii) Protection bunds around construction area (iv) Conducting awareness programs to workers (v) Proper arrangement to arrest silt runoff from construction site to nearby river during

monsoon (vi) Use excavated soil for strengthening bunds; no waste shall be disposed in or near river

bank 156. Once the sewerage system is operating, most facilities will operate with routine maintenance, which should not affect the environment. Leaks in the network will need to be repaired from time to time, but environmental impacts will be much less than those of the con-struction period as the work will be infrequent, affecting small areas only. It will also be con-ducted in areas that have already been excavated, so there will be no need to protect archaeo-logical material. 157. During operation of STP, there are chances of odor nuisance. The proper selection of treatment process as well as regular O & M of STP will take care of this problem. There can be deterioration of quality of nearby river water due to disposal of treated sewage. However, regu-lar quality monitoring of water will help in identifying the problem in earlier stage and remedia-tion measures. There is occupational health and safety risk involved while working in STP however all the necessary precautionary measures are included. Necessary provisions for

64

green buffer zone within STP premises as well as surrounding sewage pumping stations are considered in design. 158. The major impacts of the implementation of sewerage subproject will be beneficial to the citizens of Roorkee as it will provide proper collection network and treatment of sewage, which will serve a greater proportion of the population, including slum-dwellers. This will im-prove the quality of life of people as well as benefiting both individual and public health as the improvements in hygiene should reduce the incidence of disease associated with poor sanita-tion. This should lead to economic gains as people will be away from work less and will spend less on healthcare, so their incomes should increase. 159. An Environmental Management Plan(EMP) is proposed as a part of IEE which in-cludes (i) mitigation measures for significant environmental impacts during implementation, (ii) environmental monitoring programs, and the responsible entities for mitigation, monitoring and reporting; and (iii) public consultation and information disclosure. Mitigation measures have been developed to reduce all negative impacts to acceptable limits. A number of impacts and their significance have already been reduced by amending design. 160. The important recommendation of this IEE is that this sewerage distribution subproject can proceed for implementation provided all impacts are addressed through suggested mitiga-tion measures. The other important recommendation is that the involuntary resettlement issues, which are identified through a parallel process of resettlement planning, need to be addressed by RP implementation. The recommended clauses for the Construction Contractor’s Contract are attached as Appendix 4 to ensure that mitigation measures are implemented.

65

X. Conclusion

161. The main objective of this sewerage subproject in Roorkee is to improve the sewerage network and to provide necessary treatment to sewage before final disposal. Thus ultimately this subproject aims to improve overall living conditions in the City. This initial environmental examination has been conducted to identify and assess the negative impacts, if any, of the subproject. 162. All components proposed under this sub-project involve straightforward construction and simple operation. Not many environmental issues were noted during this initial environ-mental examination. In most cases, environmental issues identified are typical for the type of component construction, and a range of proven mitigation strategies exists to address them. 163. This IEE has assessed all potential environmental impacts associated with the subpro-ject. There are no impacts that are significant or complex in nature, or that need an in-depth study to assess the impact or to develop the mitigation measures. The environmental impacts identified are manageable, and the PMU will monitor the implementation the mitigation measures as stated in IEE. The subproject, therefore, does not warrant environmental impact assessment (EIA). 164. Importantly, there are no uncertainties in the present IEE and no further or additional work is required to comply with the ADB Safeguard Policy Statement 2009. One component however requires consent/permission of regulatory agencies for implementation. The construc-tion and operation of 33 MLD Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) requires consent for establish-ment (CFE) and consent for operation (CFO) from the UEPPCB under the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974. The Consent to establish for 33MLD-STP has been ob-tained from Uttarakhand Environment Protection and pollution Control Board and consent to operate will be obtained after the completion of construction work. The detail of which has been furnished in Table no-1. 165. The construction and operation of 33MLD-STP at Roorkee will comply the conditions of stipulated in Consent to Establish which has been obtained from Uttarakhand Environment Pro-tection and Pollution Control Board and after completion of work, UUSDA will obtain Consent to Operate from UEPPCB and will comply all the conditions of Uttarakhand Environment Protection and Pollution Control Board consent to operate order.

Standards for Diesel Generator Sets: Stack Height

The minimum height of stack to be provided with each generator set can be worked out using the following formula:

H = h+0.2x ÖKVA H = Total height of stack in meter h = Height of the building in meters where the generator set is installed KVA = Total generator capacity of the set in KVA Based on the above formula the minimum stack height to be provided with different

range of generator sets may be categorized as follows: For Generator Sets Total Height of stack in metre

50 KVA Height of the building + 1.5 metre 50-100 KVA Height of the building + 2.0 metre 100-150 KVA Height of the building + 2.5 metre 150-200 KVA Height of the building + 3.0 metre 200-250 KVA Height of the building + 3.5 metre 250-300 KVA Height of the building + 3.5 metre

Similarly for higher KVA ratings a stack height can be worked out using the above formula.

Climate Change and Disaster Risk Questions

The following questions are not for environmental categorization. They are included in this checklist to help identify potential climate and disaster risks.

Yes No Remarks

Is the Project area subject to hazards such as earth-quakes, floods, landslides, tropical cyclone winds, storm surges, tsunami or volcanic eruptions and climate chang-es (see Appendix I)?

√ According to hazard zoning in the Vulnerability Atlas of India, the whole of Uttarakhand falls under “very high” to “high” category earthquake zone. All newly developed facilities will re-quire compliance with gov-ernment rules for seismic design in hilly areas.

Could changes in temperature, precipitation, or extreme events patterns over the Project lifespan affect technical or financial sustainability (e.g., changes in rainfall patterns disrupt reliability of sewerage; sea level rise creates salin-ity intrusion into proposed sewerage source)?

√ No such possibility

Are there any demographic or socio-economic aspects of the Project area that are already vulnerable (e.g., high incidence of marginalized populations, rural-urban mi-grants, illegal settlements, ethnic minorities, women or children)?

√ Proposed project will not impact any marginalized population, rural-urban mi-grants, illegal settlement etc.

Could the Project potentially increase the climate or disaster vulnerability of the surrounding area (e.g., by us-ing water from a vulnerable source that is relied upon by many user groups, or encouraging settlement in earth-quake zones)?

√ No such possibility of vulnerability increase of the surrounding area.
