EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.0 INTRODUCTIONThe Mumbai Urban Transport Project (MUTP) has identified a number of sub-projects tostrengthen the suburban rail transport and road transport in Greater Mumbai and MumbaiMetropolitan Region (MMR) as a whole. MUTP places considerable emphasis on improvingpublic transport including the railway capacity.

As per requirement of The World Bank, Environmental Assessments (EA) was done for someof these sub-projects in the years 1996 to 1998. Also, a consolidated EA was prepared forthe entire MUTP project. Environmental Management Plans (EMP) was prepared as a partof these EAs, which included mitigation measures for minimising adverse environmentalimpacts. Currently, several of these sub-projects are in different stages of construction andMMRDA desires to carry out an assessment of the relevant EMPs.

This assignment pertains to the EMP assessment/audit for the 5 th line construction betweenSantacruz and Borivali stations on Westem Railway (WR). This project is being implementedby the Western Railway (WR).

Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has retained the services ofSerene Environmental Services (SES) to carry out Environmental Audit for railway projects ofMUTP.

2.0 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDYThe objectives of the Environmental Audit are as follows:

o Assess the status of environmental impacts during ongoing construction and futureplanned activities.

0 Assess whether any environmental mitigation measures are required based on on-goingcompleted works, if any. i

o Environmental mitigation measures for planned works, if required.O Document lessons that can be useful for future projects.O Mitigate environmental impacts on the marine water quality, water flow due to

construction of bridges and other possible impacts as identified in the MLEA report bfBorivali - Virar Quadrupling Project prepared by Montgomery Watson Consultants,Mumbai.

3.0 PROJECT COMPONENTSThe Santacruz - Borivali 5 th railway line is necessary to improve the reliability of Suburbantrains, which are working beyond saturation level of line capacity. The scope of projectincludes construction of 5 th railway line between Santacruz to Borivali covering about 15 kms.Four additional 9-car rakes or 12-car rakes service could be introduced on this line toenhance the capacity of suburban section of Western Railway.

The broad components of the project can be grouped under the following heads:. Earthwork for laying of rail tracks between stations

3.1 Applicable Legal Requirements

The applicable Indian environmental regulations, World Bank policies/directives and GOMdirectives for all MUTP projects are given in detail in Annex lB. This EMP's for the

Santacruz-Borivali project have been prepared within the framework of the ConsolidatedEnvironmental Assessment (CEA), Report for MUTP, 2002. The legal requirementsapplicable to the Santacruz-Borivali project are as follows:

Indian Environmental and Other Requlationso Environmental (Protection) Act, 1986, associated Rules and Notifications under the Act.0 The Maharashtra (Urban Areas) Preservation of Trees Act, 1975g Land Acquisition Act 1894 (LA Act):0 Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966 (MR&TP Act):D Development Control Regulations for Greater Mumbai 1991 (DCRs):

World Bank Policieso Environmental Assessment (OP 4.01)O Involuntary Resettlerpent (OD 4.30)

4.0 BASELINE ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS and IMPACTS

For this project Environmental Assessment has not been carried out earlier and baselineenvironmental data is not available. As discussed earlier, construction work for the project isfully complete. Thus, impacts during construction phase of the project cannot be assessed.However, residual impacts, if any, due to completed activities and ongoing activities havebeen evaluated and are presented below. A summary of Impacts is presented in Table A.

4.1 Ambient Air Quality

Current AAO Monitorin' DataBaseline data for the project site is not available. AAQ is being monitored by MunicipalCorporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) at several locations in Mumbai. Monitoring is doneas per the methodology prescribed by Ministry of Environment and forests (MOEF), NewDelhi. One of the locations where monitoring is conducted regularly is near the Khar railwaystation. Although this station does not lie between Santacruz and Borivali, it is on the sameline and located adjacent to Santacruz to the south. This location is considered as anexample of area near the railway stations, having high density of vehicular traffic includingauto-rickshaws, buses, private vehides etc. The annual average values for the year 2000 for

ii

Environmental Audit of Santacruz- Borivali Serene Environmental Services5h Railway line Project

SO2 , NOx and SPM reported at,Khar was 16.16 ILg/m 3, 69.25 jig/M3 and 290 tW/M3 . These

values may not represent the MQ levels at other stations, but may be taken as an example.The values for NOx and SPM exceed the MO annual average standards for residential areas.These MQ annual average MQ standards for residential areas are as follows: S02 (60jig/m3); NOx (60 .g/m3); SPM (140 gg/m3).

AAQ near commercial and residential areas near railway stations, typically have elevatedAAQ levels due to sluggish traffic and highly built-up area with poor dispersion conditions.However, areas between stations have much lower values.

Impacts During Construction PhaseConstruction work is completed. Thus impacts on air quality due to construction activitycannot be assessed.Impacts During Operation PhaseDuring the operation stage, there will be no impact on air quality, as electric trains will beoperated on the proposed track.

4.2 Noise Impacts

Baseline data for the project site is not available. However, spot monitoring of noise wasdone near the 5 th line between Santacruz and Andheri to assess noise impacts.Durinq Construction PhaseConstruction work is completed. Thus impacts on noise levels due to construction activitycannot be assessed.Durinq Operation PhaseExisting baseline noise levels in this area exceeds the CPCB noise standards for residentialarea. This is typically found near the railway stations, where residential areas are locatedquite close (30 to 50 m) to railway tracks.

Boundary wall have been constructed along the railway land, however this is not expected tohave much potential for noise attenuation, as residential building are located very close to thetracks and are 3 to 4 storey high. Providing a barTier all along the track to this height may notbe feasible. Source reduction techniques by providing better track/wheel interface and trackmodification may be more appropriate for noise reduction.

4.3 Ground and Surface Water Quality

Construction work is completed. Thus impacts on any water body, due to construction activitycannot be assessed. However, there are no water bodies of any significance (lakes, rivers,creek etc.) present in the Santacruz-Borivali rail corridor. In fact most of the area is denseBuilt-up area. Thus there would not have been any adverse environmental impact on waterbodies.

Impacts During Operation PhaseThe operation of the project is not likely to have a significant impact on water bodies due tothe following reasons:

Wastewater generated at platforms and the new railway quarters will be treated inseptic tank and discharged via soak pits or discharged into existing seweragenetwork.

Environmental Audit of Santacruz- Borivali Serene Environmental Servicesth Railway line Project

* Drains are constructed at locations near stations likely to be flooded duringmonsoons.

* There is no other activity which generates effluent and which can adversely affectany water body.

4.4 Natural Habitats and EcologyManagement and conservation of natural habitats likely to be affected by the SantacruzBorivali project is required by The World Bank Operational Policy OP 4.04. There are nonatural habitats along this route such as forests, mangroves, which require protection.

ImPacts Durina Construction PhasePermission for felling of these trees were obtained from the Tree Officer of MCGM. Area fortree plantation is limited due to dense built-up area on this route (See Photo 1- in Annex 2).However, WR is carrying out track-side and other plantation for enhancement of the areawherever feasible. This activity is proactive and plantation targets are normally set for variousWR managers.

Impacts During Oneration PhaseImpacts on ecology is not expected during the operation stage as the project is coming upalongside the existing tracks and there is-no forest and other sensitive ecological reservesnear the tracks that can be affected due to operation of additional rakes.

4.5 LanduseThis rail corridor is large built-up area with no significant ecological resources, water bodiesetc. There are mixed use and residential areas immediately adjacent to the corridorboundary. At Malad and Goregaon few patches of vacant land are seen in between stations.

The land-use pattern has not change significantly due to the implementation of the project asit has come up alongside the existing tracks.

4.6 Resettlement and RehabilitationThere are 515 project-affected households (PAHs) which need resettlement. Resettlementand rehabilitation of the project-affected households is being done by MMRDA as per theRehabilitation Action Plan (RAP) of Govt. of Maharashtra. Site specific CommunityEnvironment Management Plans (CEMP) are being prepared separately by MMRDA fortransit and permanent locations.

4.7 Archaeological and Cultural PropertyRehabilitation of Cultural Property such as archaeological and historical sites, religious(temples, mosques etc.) affected by project activities is required by The World BankQperational Policy 4 11 on Cultural Property Preservation.

As per survey conducted by MMRDA, there were no such structures present on this route.

5.0 Assessment of Environmental Mitigation Measures

The entire construction work for the project is complete and thus EHS measures cannot beaudited/assessed for the construction phase. Also, as seen from the previous section, sitevisits have not revealed any significant adverse environmental impact caused due the alreadycompleted activity.

Thus, as far as this project is concerned, recommendations for EMP implementationinclude the following:• EHS mitigation measures that could be included as a requirement for contractors

for future works in this area.* EMP monitoring and reporting during operational stage.* Institutional mechanism for EMP implementation

The EHS issues are addressed for the components given below

* Ecological impacts such as tree cutting and destruction of mangroves.* Resettlement and rehabilitation* Utility relocation* Generation of Dust due to construction activity* Construction Vehicle /equipment exhaust emissions* Noise from vehicles, plants and equipment*. Contamination of water bodies* Ecological impacts such as tree cutting and destruction of mangroves* Soil erosion* Debris disposal* Soil contamination by construction wastes, fuel etc.* Land degradation in quarry area.* Health and hygierqe at construction labour camps* Delays and congestion on tracks* Traffic Control and Safety* Occupational Health and Safety

Critical EHS recommendations for the project are given below, more details on audit findings andrecommendations are available in Tables 5.1 to 5.3 of this reporL

Pre-construction and desiqn stage:

1. Resettlement is currently being carried out by MMRDA as per RAP of GOM. SeparateTransit and permanent accommodations for project affected households should be audited atleast 6 monthly.

2. All necessary permissions to be taken for cutting trees/vegetation3. Along with design of noise barriers, technology with low noise should be incorporated.

Construction Phase

1. Road wetting for earth-working operations to be done regularly for dust suppression..2. All contractors to make sure that all dumpers and other vehicles being used at site have been

checked for vehicle emissions and have a valid PUC certificate.3. A clear documented procedure to be made part of the tender documents for future projects,

requirng contractors to dispose debris in low-lying areas away from water bodies, as fillmaterial only.

4. Documentation such as quarry release receipt issued by the District Revenue officer at thequarry site to be available at construction site.

5. Safety and hazard posters and signs should be clearly displayed at locations such as plafformworks, level crossings, Station building construction areas etc.

6. W.R. to assure that procedure for work permit is followed at all construction sites.7. WR to assure that all contractors make available safety shoes, face masks, earplugs etc. as

applicable to the labourers. Such PPE's should be available on site and assessment shouldbe made during scheduled inspections.

WR to make sure that all above requirements (given in more detail in EMP tables 5.1 to 5.3)should be made part of tender documents for future projects.

ODeration Phase1. Regular maintenance of track side plantation.2. Noise monitoring on Santacruz-Borvali route as given in Table 6.

6.0 Environmental Monitoring and Reporting

Ste visits and interviews have revealed the following facts related to environmentalmanagement organisation:

. In the consolidated EA report for MUTP, MRVC was reported to be the ProjectImplementation Agency (PIA). However, Westem Railway '/VR) is the PIA for thisproject. MRVC is the coordinating agency to facilitate communication between MMRDAand WR.

o WR has not been involved in any of the earlier EA efforts. Environmental mitigationmeasures identified in the earlier EA for this project and also identified in the consolidatedEA are not available with WR. However, WR has incorporated certain EHS elements inthe tender documents.

o Environmental monitoring is currently not required to be done by the contractors. Apartfrom periodic safety inspections, currently there is no feedback mechanism for EHSelements of the project.

The construction phase is completed and site observations have not revealed any significantresidual impacts on the site due to construction phase. Major significant impacts would bethe displacement of project affected people and cutting of vegetation along the ROW. Themonitoring of R&R components is being covered separately as a part of another study andpermissions have been taken earlier for cufting of vegetation

2.0 PROJECT DETAILS

2.1 Project Need and Details

The Santacruz - Borvali 5th railway line is necessary to improve the reliability of Suburbantrains, which are working beyond saturation level of line capacity. The scope of projectincludes construction of 5th railway line between Santacruz to Borivali covering about 15 kms.Four additional 9-car rakes or 12-car rakes service could be introduced on this line toenhance the capacity of suburban section of Western Railway.

Benefits of the 5th line between Santacruz - Borivali:

1. Segregation of suburban and non-suburban traffic between Santacruz and Borivali, thusreleasing capacity on through lines to allow more suburban trains and create new routefor passenger trains to new passenger terminus at Bandra.

2. Provision of 5th line will provide additional three suburban 12-car rake paths from Borvalito Churchgate.

2.2 Project Components and Status

The broad components of the project can be grouped under the following heads:

* Earthwork for laying of rail tracks between stations* Construction of additional infrastructure at various stations such as New Platforms and

extension of existing platforms, Station building and Booking office, F?ot over-bridges(FOB), Extension of level crossings, etc.

* Construction of major and minor bridges at various locations* Construction of miscellaneous structures such as drainage, boundary walls etc.

The broad project components and implementation status of the same are given below inTable 1.1 and 1.2 respectively. Santacruz to Andheri line has started operating and track-linking work is in progress in case of Goregaon to Borvali railway line. Photo I (Annex 2)shows the completed 5th line with boundary wall.

4.0 BASELINE ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS and IMPACTS

For this project Environmental Assessment has not been carried out earlier and baselineenvironmental data is not available. As discussed earlier, construction work for the project isfully complete. Thus, impacts during construction phase of the project cannot be assessed.However, residual impacts, if any, due to completed activities and ongoing activities havebeen evaluated and are presented below. A summary of Impacts is presented in Table 3.

4.1 Terrain and Geology

Santacruz - Borvali tracks run over almost a level terrain in the area. The area through out isbuilt-up. Some open areas are observed between Malad and Goregaon. Geology is typicalof the westem coast i.e. Basalt rocks overlain by alluvial soils / clays.

4.2 Climate

The climate of the area is characterized by high humidity nearly all year round, oppressivesummers season and well-distributed and heavy rainfall during the southwest monsoonseason. This suburban district receives heavy rainfall during the southwest monsoon seasonbetween June and August.

4.3 Ambient Air Quality

Current AAQ Monitoring Data

Baseline data for the project site is not available. AAQ is being monitored by MunicipalCorporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) at several locations in Mumbai. Mronitoring is doneas per the methodology prescribed by Ministry of Environment and forests (MOEF), NewDelhi. One of the locations where monitoring is conducted regularly is near the Khar railwaystation. Although this station does not lie between Santacruz and Borivali, it is on the sameline and located adjacent to Santacnrz to the south. This location is considered as anexample of area near the railway stations, having high density of vehicular traffic includingauto-rickshaws, buses, private vehicles etc. The annual average values for the year 2000 forS02, NOx and SPM reported at Khar was 16.16 t1g/M 3, 69.25 jig/M3 and 290 hig/M3. Thesevalues may not represent the AAQ levels at other stations, but may be taken as an example.The values for NOx and SPM exceed the AAQ annual average standards for residential areas.These AAQ annual average AAQ standards for residential areas are as follows: S02 (60[Lg/M 3); NOx (60 jig/m3); SPM (140 jig/rn3).

AAQ near commercial and residential areas near railway stations, typically have elevatedAAQ levels due to sluggish traffic and highly built-up area with poor dispersion conditions.However, areas between stations have much lower values.

However, spot monitoring of noise (daytime) was done near the 5e line between Santacnrz and Andheri to assess noise impacts.Photo 1 in Annex 2 shows a section of the completed 5th line with boundary wall andresidential areas next to it. Noise monitoring was done at a similar locations. The noisemonitoring locations and values are given below in Table 4.0

Table 4.0 Day time Noise Monitoring ResultsNo. Location Noise levels CPCB Noise

dB(A) Standards forresidential area

1. Baseline noise level 30 m from railway track at 65 - 70 Day time - 55dB(A)Santacruz - no train movement (behind Night time - 45boundary wall) dB(A)

2. Baseline noisb level 30 m from railway track at 83 - 87Santacruz - with train movement (behindboundary wall)

Impact Assessment

During Construction PhaseConstruction work is completed. Thus impacts on noise levels due to construction activitycannot be assessed.

During ODeration PhaseExisting baseline noise levels in this area exceeds the CPCB noise standards for residentialarea. This is typically found near the railway stations, where residential areas are locatedquite close (30 to 50 m) to railway tracks.

Boundary wall have been constructed along the railway land,-however this is not expected tohave much potential for noise attenuation, as residential building are located very close to thetracks and are 3 to 4 storey high. Providing a barrier all along the track to this height may notbe feasible. Source reduction techniques by providing better track/wheel interface and trackmodification may be more appropriate for noise reduction.

4.5 Ground and Surface Water Quality

Impact AssessmentDurinq Construction PhaseConstruction work is completed. Thus impacts on any water body due to construction activitycannot be assessed. However, there are no water bodies of any significance (lakes, rivers,creek etc.) present in the Santacnrz-Borivali rail corridor. In fact most of the area is denseBuilt-up area. Thus there would not have been any adverse environmental impact on water

bodies.

During Operation PhaseThe operation of the project is not likely to have a significant impact on water bodies due tothe following reasons:* Wastewater generated at platforms and the new railway quarters will be treated in septic

tank and discharged via soak pits or discharged into existing sewerage network.* Drains are constructed at locations near stations likely to be flooded during monsoons.* There is no other activity which generates effluent and which can adversely affect any

water body.

4.6 Natural Habitats and Ecology

Management and conservation of natural habitats likely to be affected by the SantacruzBorivali project is required by The World Bank Operational Policy OP 4.04. There are nonatural habitats along this route such as forests, mangroves, which require protection.

Imoacts During Construction PhasePermission for felling of these trees were obtained from the Tree Officer of MCGM. Area fortree plantation is limited due to dense built-up area on this route (See Photo I in Annex 2).However, WR is carrying out track-side and other plantation for enhancement of the areawherever feasible. Photo 3 in Annex 2 shows plantation and fencing done at AndheriStation. Photo 4 shows the completed 5th line with track-side vegetable plantation which isgiven on contract. This activity is proactive and plantation targets are normally set for variousWR managers.

Impacts Durina Operation PhaseImpacts on ecology is not expected during the operation stage as the project is coming upalongside the existing tracks and there is no forest and other sensitive ecological reservesnear the tracks that can be affected due to operation of additional rakes.

4.7 Land UseThis rail corridor is large built-up area with no significant ecological resources, water bodiesetc. There are mixed use- and residential areas immediately adjacent to the corridorboundary. At Malad and Goregaon few patches of vacant land are seen in between stations.

Impacts

The land-use pattern has not change significantly due to the implementation of the project asit has come up alongside the existing tracks.

5.0 Assessment of Environmental Mitigation Measures

5.1 Introduction

The previous sections described the changes observed in baseline environmental status andthe environmental impacts during construction and operation stages of the project. Thissection is dedicated to evaluating the Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) mitigation needsand institutional mechanisms for their implementation. EHS mitigation measures, monitoringprograms and reporting structure are required to be a part of an Environmental ManagementPlan.

As discussed earlier, the entire construction work for the project is complete and thus EHSmeasures cannot be audited/assessed for the construction phase. Also, as seen from theprevious section, site visits have not revealed any significant adverse environmental impactcaused due the already completed activity.

Thus, as far as this project is concemed, recommendations for EMP implementation includethe following:* EHS mitigation measures that could be included as a requirement for contractors for

future works in this area.* EMP monitoring and reporting during operational stage.* Institutional mechanism for EMP implementation

5.2 EHS Mitigation Measures

EMP measures are presented in Table 5.1 to 5.3 for the design, construction and operationstages. Tables 5.1 and 5.2 will be applicable only for future projects. Table 5.3 isapplicable to the operating stage of the current Santacruz-Borivali 5th line project.

The mitigation requirements mentioned should be complied by the WR by assigningresponsibilities for the same to various WR departments and making it a part of contractorrequirements where relevant.

Noise reduction at source appears to be a more practical approach to address the noise impacts.These should be implemented by WR.

A variety of sources are responsible for both the total environmental noise pollution of a passingtrain and its interior noise. These sources are the wheel, the rail, the track components - sleepers,ballast etc. Some of the measures which are being introduced in all new rail lines are:

a. Use of continuous welded railsb. Rubber pads between rail and sleepers.c 30-cm stone ballast cushion below sleeper seat, which will reduce noise by providing elasticity.d. Construction of concrete bridges instead of steel bridges.

6.0 Environmental Monitoring and Reporting

Ste visits and interviews have revealed the following facts related to environmentalmanagement organisation:

. In the consolidated EA report for MUTP, MRVC was reported to be the ProjectImplementation Agency (PIA). However, Westem Railway (WR) is the PIA for thisproject. MRVC is the coordinating agency to facilitate communication between MMRDAand WR.

* Environmental monitoring is currently not required to be done by the contractors. Apartfrom periodic safety inspections, currentiv there is no feedback mechanism for EHSelements of the project.

6.1 Environmental Monitoring Program

The main objectives of a monitoring program are:* To evaluate the effectiveness of the mitigation measures during the construction and

operation phases.* To satisfy the legal and community obligations* To respond to the unanticipated environmental issues at an early stage and to verify the

accuracy of environmental impact prediction.

The monitoring of R&R components is being covered separately as a part of another studyand permissions have been taken earlier for cutting of vegetation.

Comprehensive periodic site inspection programs for EHS elements and a regularenvironmental monitoring program will best achieve the objectives of monitoring describedabove for this project. This is covered in Section below.

6.1.1 EMP Monitoring and Reporting during Construction Phase

6.1.1.1 Environmental Monitoring

The construction of this line is complete and hence monitoring during construction phase isnot being provided. For future works, monitoring of air quality, noise levels etc. will need to bedefined based on actual location and site conditions of the project.

6.1.1.2 Monitoring of EHS mitigation measures implementation

In the context of Railway projects of MUTP, an effective inspection program will go a longway to assure implementation of various EHS mitigation measures for this project. Theprogram given here could be used for future construction activities on this line. The inspectionprogram needs to be dove-tailed into existing programs followed by WR and, the parametersfor inspection, inspection schedules etc. need to be clearly defined. The EHS parameters tobe monitored depend upon factors such as:

21

Environmental Audit of Santacruz -Borivali Serene Environmental Services5 Railway line.

* EHS components affected* Construction schedule of the project

* Environmental Mitigation measures suggested

Based on the site observations, level of awareness of contractor and WR staff, the followingprogram and procedure is suggested for effective monitoring of EHS implementation at futureconstruction sites covered by MUTP:

a. Monthly inspection program by WR for all project construction sites. Theinspection will be carried out by DCE (Construction) In-charge of the constructionsite, or his representative. The format for inspection will be as per Annex 4. Theinspection will be carried out during the entire period of construction activityincluding before start of construction and immediately after construction iscomplete.

The completed inspection checklist shall be submitted by the concemed DCE tothe Chief Engineer (WR). Correctve action plan with time frame for implementationfor any non-compliance to be also submitted.

(Separate checklists need to be filled in for separate works. However, a group ofsimilar activites could be inspected using the same checklist . E.g.- Findings ofinspection of construction of station building, FOB, platform extension work at astation could be entered in the same checklist).

b. All site contractors to maintain log books and other documentation specified inAnnex 5.

c. Copy of the completed monthly inspectfon checklist should be sent by the ChiefEngineer (WR) to MMRDA every month for review. The Inspection checklist for amonth along with the corrective actfon plan, if any, shall reach MMRDA no laterthan the 1?m day of the next month.

d. MMRDA to carry out independent 3rd - party inspection of various construction sites(the sample sites indicated in this report could be visited at a minimum) everyquarter during the constructfon activity and also after construction is completed toassess any residual environmental Impact A Project Management Consultant(PMC) should be appointed for this purpose by MMRDA. Review checklist given inAnnex 4 could be used for this purpose.

22

Environmental Audit of Santacruz -Bonvalh Serene Environmental Services5e Railway line.

6.1.2 EMP Monitoring and Reporting during Operation Phase

Operation phase monitoring for this project is required mainly for the following:

* Ambient noise levels to determine baseline levels and track improvements accrued due toimplementation of source noise reduction. Ambient air monitoring is not suggested sincethe operation will not contribute to air pollution (Electricity driven trains). Also no impactsduring operation stage expected on water quality and soil quality.

* Health and survival rates of the compensatory and other plantation done by WR.* Monitoring of Rehabilitation and Resettlement (R&R) sites for the people displaced due to

the project. This will be done as a separate exercise not covered in this audit report.

The monitoring program suggested is given in Table 6 below.

ANNEX- 1B

LEGAL REQUIREMENTS

LEGAL AND POLICY FRAMEWORK

1 The project will be implemented within the Indian legal framework and will also complywiththe safeguard policies of the World Bank. The applicable legal and policy framework isdescfibed below.

Applicable Indian Legal Requirements2. The applicable Indian legal provisions are described in two groups one related to

environment and the other related to resettlement.

Legislation related to Environment:

3. There are various Acts, Rules and Notifications applicable for different environmentalcomponents such as Air Polluton, Water Pollubon, Noise Pollution, Coastal Areas,Hazardous Matefials Handling and Transpoit, Forest and Wildlife. In additon, regulatoryprovisions by way of environmental clearance also exist. The applicable acts andregulabons are listed below.

Environmental (Protectfon) Act, 19864. This is an umbrella act for environmental protection. Various rules and notifications are

issued from bme to time under the provisions of this Act. Environmental Protection Rules(2000) specify standards for ambient air quality whereas Noise Pollution (Regulation andControl) Rules, 2000 provide for the ambient noise standards in public places. Howeverlegal mechanism to achieve these are not explicit in terms of emission at source intransport sector except for the vehicle emission norms like Euro II or Bharat II that havebeen prescribed. The Environmental Impact Assessment Notification. 1994 (as amended inMay 1997) make environmental clearance mandatory for 29 categores of developmentalprojects listed in Schedule 1 of the notification. Railways are not listed in schedule 1 andhence do not need environmental clearance. For other components under MUTP, MoE_Fhas confirmed that environmental qlearance EIA notfication is not required.

Coastal Regulation Zone Notfication, 19915. The notification provides for determining certain areas between the Low Tide Line

(LTL) and High Tide Line (HTL) and adjacent land ward area as the CoastalRegulation Zone and its classification into CRZ I -ecologically sensitive and coastalwetland between HTL and LTL, CRZ II - where development has already occurredand CRZ IlIl - the residual area largely rural in character. The notification alsoprescribes prohibited activities in CRZ and activities that can be taken up with theapproval of MoEF. Reclamation being a prohibited activity cannot be undertaken inCRZ I.

The Maharashtra (Urban Areas) Preservabon of Trees Act. 19756 GOM legislation requires every local authority to constitute a Tree Authority. No tree can be

felled without the permission of this authority. The Road development agencies will have toobtain the permission of the Tree Authority for felling of trees in the right of way and followthe Tree Authorities stipulations in respect of transplantng or compensatory plantation.

Legislation related to R & R.

Land Acquisition Act 1894 (LA Act):7. This act provides for compulsory acquisition of land for public purposes by paying

compensation at the market rate with 30% solatium for the compulsory nature of acquisitonand interest at 12 percent per annum from the date of notificabon of land for acquisition.

Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966 (MR&TP Act):8. The act provides for preparation of Regional Plan for the MMR as a whole and preparabon

of Development Plans (Master Plans) for-the local jurisdiction of individual municipalauthority like MCGM. The Regional Plan of MMR has been sanctioned in 1999whereastheDevelopment Plan of Greater Mumbai was sanctioned in 1991. The Regional Plan is policyoriented and strategic in nature whereas Development Plan is more specificand prescribesdetailed land use zoning including designation of land required for public purposes, whichcan then be acquired in conjuncton with the provisions of Land Acquisition Act. The actalso provides a statutory framework for formulation and enforcement of DevelopmentControl Regulations. The sub-projects are required to be consistentwith the Regional Planand the Development Plan.

Develooment Control Regulations for Greater Mumbai 1991 (DCRs):9. The DCRs set out the standards for building design and construction, provision of services

like water supply, sewerage, site drainage, access roads, elevators, fire fighting etc. Aseparate set of regulabons is included for the redevelopment or resettlement of slums,which are administered by the Slun, Rehabilitabon Authority (SRA). Buildings procured forR & R have to conform to these DeRs. Up-front clearance of the entre project is howevernot required under the DCR. Approvals are to be obtained for individual scheme, as it getsprepared.

10. These regulations prepared under the MR & TP Act offer an alternatve to acquisibon underLA Act by way of Transfer of Development Rights (TDR). The permissible Floor SpaceIndex (FSI) defines the development rights of every parcel of land in Mumbai. If a partcularparcel of land is designated for a public purpose the landowner has an option of acceptingmonetary compensabon under the LA Act 1894 or accept TDR (equivalent to the plot areatimes the permissible FSI), which can be sold in the market for use elsewhere in Mumbai.The DC Regulations have been amended to provide incentives for rehabilitation (includingresettlement of slum dwellers) in 1997. For landowners prepared to provide 225 sq.ft.dwelling units free of cost to slum dwellers, the incentve is in the form of right to build andsell floor space equivalent to that required for slum rehabilitation subject to the maximumin-situ utirization of FSI of 2.5. The remainder of the total development rights can be usedas TDR. In case of land designated for resettlement of slum dwellers affected byinfrastructure projects, the land owner has an option of offering dwelling unitsto the projectimplementing agency free of cost and getting the benefit of maximum of TDR equivalenttofloor area calculated at FSI of 3.5 (1 for land and 2.5 for the built-up area).

The Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act 1960:11. This act provides for establishing, registering and administering the co-operative societies.

Housing co-operative is a special form of co-operative society, where the land and building

is owned by the co-operative and its members have occupancy rights of apartmentoccupied by them. Sale and purchase of such units can take place only with the consent ofthe society. This is a common form of tenure in Mumbai's apartment buildings and iswdelyunderstood.

Applicable World Bank Policies12. Given that MUTP has been developed with the intention of mobilizing financial resources

from the World Bank, project preparation has included a number of studies andassessments which have sought to address and meet the requirements of the WorldBank's environmental and social policies, often referred as the 'safeguard' policies. Thenext paragraphs provide a summary overview of how these guidelines have beenconsidered.

Environmental Assessment (OP 4.01)13. In the context of the Bank's Operational Policy (OP) 4.01 on Environmental Assessment,

MUTP has been classified as category "A" project, largely on the basis of the large numberof people requiring resettlement and rehabilitation. Because of the large-scale resettlementand the triggering of more than one safeguard policy the project is also classified as 'S1 " interms of safeguard issues. A consolidated EA including SEA has been prepared thatprovides the framework for preparing sub-project specific EA and EMPs in compliance withthe World Bank policy.

Cultural Property (OP 4.11):14. The United Nations term "cultural property" includes sites having archeological

(prehistoric), paleontological, historical, religious, and unique natural values. Culturalproperty, therefore, encompasses both remains left by previous human inhabitants (forexample, middens, shrines, and battlegrounds) and unique natural environmentalfeaturessuch as canyons and waterfalls. The World Bank's general policy regarding culturalproperties is to assist in their preservation, and to seek to avoid their elimination.

15. Mumbai with its history of- nearly three hundred years is rich in cultural propertyparticularly in the form of built herTtage. GOM and MCGM are acutely aware of the need toconserve such heritage. GOM in 1995 with the involvement of NGOs listed over 600buildings and precincts as of heritage significance. DCR 67 govems the development ofthese listed buildings and precincts. GOM has also constituted a Heritage ConservationCommittee in 1995 to advise the Municipal Commissioner regarding developmentpermission to be granted in case of listed buildings and precincts. No developmentpermission can be granted of the listed buildings or within the precincts without the consentof the Heritage Committee.

16. During the execution of works, if a 'chance find "of archaeological significance occurs, thecontract requires the contractor to immediately inform the employer and stop furtherwork.Employer will in turn inform the state Archaeology Department for further investigation.

17. The only cultural properties that are directly affected by the sub projects are smallplaces of worship established by the community of squatters within the right ofway. These hav7e been created by the affected communities for their own use.Such places of worship do not possess any historical or architectural significanceand may not therefore strictly qualify to be treated as cultural property.Nevertheless they are treated as an integral part of preparation of RIPs. Theplaces of worship and other community assets are identified dunng the BSES.Their rehabilitation is being implemented as a part of the R & R process inconsultation with the community The impact on these properties and the manner inwhich such impacts can be identified can be classified in three categones. Firstly the

buildings that are only partially affected can be helped to add equivalent area elsewhereadjacent to the building. Secondly structures that are fully affected by the right of way butare patronized by the community that is not affected by the project could be rebuilt outsidethe right of way in consultation with the community and with assistance of the NGO. Insome cases the entrance to the structure could be reoriented to ensure safety of thedevotees visiting the place. Thirdly the affected structuresthat patronized by the communitybeing resettled could be relocated in consultation with the community. In addition, thecommunity may agree to forego some places without insisting upon their resettlement

Natural Habitat (OP 4.04):

18. Natural habitats are defined as land and water areas where (i) the ecosystems' biologicalcommunities are formed largely by native plant and animal species, and (ii) human activityhas not essentfally modified the area's primary ecological functions. All natural habitatshave important biological, social, economic, and existence value. Important natural habitatsmay occur in tropical humid, dry, and cloud forests; temperate and boreal forests;Mediterranean-type shrub lands; natural arid and semi-arid lands; mangrove swamps,coastal marshes, and other wetlands; estuaries; sea grass beds; coral reefs; freshwaterlakes and rivers; alpine and sub alpine environments, including herb fields, grasslands, andparamos; and tropical and temperate grasslands. Criticalnaturalhabitats include exisfingprotected areas and areas officially proposed by governments as protected areas (e.g.,reserves that meet the criteria of the World Conservation Union [IUCN] classifications i.e.Strict Nature Reserve/Wilderness Area: protected area managed for science or wildernessprotecton; Il-Nabonal Park: protected area managed mainly for ecosystem protection andrecreation; Ill-Natural Monument: protected area managed mainly for conservation ofspecific natural features; IV-HabitatVSpecies Management Area: protected area managedmainly for conservation through management intervention; V-ProtectedLandscape/Seascape: protected area managed mainly for landscape/seascapeconservation and recreation; and VI-Managed Resource Protected Area: protected areamanaged mainly for the sustainable use of natural ecosystems. The conservabon of naturalhabitats, like other measures that protect and enhance the environment, is essential forlong-term sustainable development. The Bank therefore supports the protection,maintenance, and rehabilitation of natural habitats and their functions in its economic andsector work, project financing, and policy dialogue. The Bank supports, and expectsborrowers to apply, a precautionary approach to natural resource management to ensureopportunities for environmentally sustainable development.

19. From this perspective one of Mumbai's notable natural habitat is limited to the 103 sq.km.Nabonal Park at Borivaii, which is located in the northern part of the peninsula between thetwo rail corridors. The National Park is protected underthe Indian Forest Act. None of thesub-projects passes through the National Park. The other important Natural Habitat is thecoastal wetlands in the eastern and western suburbs and along the Vasai creek. These areprotected by the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) Notification of 19 February 1991.

Involuntary Resettlement (OD 4.30)

20. The Operational Directve 4.30 describes Bank policy and procedures oninvoluntary resettlement, as well as the conditions that borrowers are expected tomeet in operations involving involuntary resettlement. Planning and financingresettlement of projects are an integral part of preparation for projects that causeinvoluntary displacement MUTP will require resettlement of about 19000households (68000 persons) The World Bank Policy on Involuntary Resettlement

is therefore applicable to the project. In compliance with to this policy an R & RPolicy has been prepared and adopted by GOM for MUTP. RAP providing theoverall framework of policy, entitlements, consultative processes, grevanceredressal mechanism, component costs and monitoring and evaluation mechanismhas already been prepared. Sub-project specific RIPs are being prepared.

Indigenous People (OD 4.20)

21. This operabonal directive describes Bank policies and processing procedures for projectsthat affect indigenous peoples. It sets out basic definitions, policy objectves, and guidelinesfor the design and implementabon of project provisions or components for indigenouspeoples. The terms "indigenous peoples," "indigenous ethnic minorities," "tribal groups,"and "scheduled tribes" describe social groups with a social and cultural identty distinct fromthe dominant society that makes them vulnerable to being disadvantaged in thedevelopment process. For the purposes of this directive, "indigenous peoples" is the termthat will be used to referto these groups. Indigenous peoples can be identified in particulargeographical areas by the presence in varying degrees of the following characteristics: (a)a close attachment to ancestral territories and to the natural resources in these areas; (b)self-identfication and identification by others as members of a distinct cultural group; (c) anindigenous language, often different from the national language;(d) presence of customarysocial and political insttutions; and (e) primarily subsistence-oriented production.

22. About 1% of the PAHs of MUTP belong to the Scheduled Tribes. A field-based review wasundertaken to determine if these PAHs were subject to application of this Policy since theymight have originally belonged to tribal communities in the distant past. As of now they areintegrated with the city life and do not have their traditional habitat or follow traditional waysof life. More particularly, (a) they no longer have close attachment to ancestral territories;(b) they do not identify themselves or are identified by others as distinct cultural group; (c)they do not speak an indigenous language; and (d) they no longer belong to customarysocial and political institutions. There is also a general reluctance to reveal the caste ortribe particularly pronounced when data is to be kept in public domain. It wasdetermined bythe review that the social impact of the project on such people is therefore similar to thatonother PAHs and thus the policy does not apply. No separate Indigenous PeoplesDevelopment Plan (IPDP) has therefore been prepared.

Other Safeguard Policies

23. World Bank has other safeguard policies dealing with Pest Management, Forestry, Safetyof Dams and Projects in International Waterways or in Disputed Areas These are howevernot applicable to MUTP.
