EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Government of Madhya Pradesh (GoMP) through Government of India (GoI) is negotiating loan under multi-tranche financing facility (MFF) with the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for the proposed Madhya Pradesh Urban Services Improvement Project (MPUSIP), Tranche 2 of the project will cover water supply interventions for 64 No’s of towns. Sub project for improvement of Patera town water supply system is proposed under tranche 2, package 6L. Improvement of water supply in the above town is one of the projects proposed under the program. ADB requires 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 Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) addresses the infrastructure components proposed under Patera Water supply subproject. The subproject: Patera town is located in Damoh District in Madhya Pradesh state. Improvement of water supply in Patera is one of the subprojects proposed under MPUSIP. The objective of the subproject is to achieve safe and sustainable water services both in terms of services to customers, cost recovery and conservation of precious water resources. The subproject envisages providing 100% coverage of population with continuous, pressurized and safe drinking water services and achieving progressively increasing cost recovery by expanding the coverage and increasing operating efficiency. The subproject includes civil works, project implementation and management, and non-physical investments. The physical investment includes the following (i) Feeder Main of 835 m length of diameter 100 to 150mm DI-K7 pipe (for the transmission of treated water from Mass Balance Reservoir (MBR) constructed by Jal Nigam, GoMP up to proposed GSR); (ii) 1 No. GLSR of 540 KL and 2 Nos. of Existing GSR of 165 KL & 60 KL after renovation will be utilized; (iii) Distribution network of 21,025 m length of diameter 110 mm to 200 mm ; (iv) bulk flow meters; and (v) house service connection including consumer meters. As mentioned above, under MPUSIP, the Patera water supply subproject includes treated water storage, conveyance and distribution infrastructure. The total clear water demand for town is estimated 1.34 MLD in ultimate year 2049. A GLSR for the storage of clear water have been proposed near the Jal Nigam’s MBR at Hilltop. Jal Nigam has already made provision of outlet in their Mass balanced reservoir (MBR) for Patera Water Supply. From MBR clear water will be conveyed to the Proposed GLSR of Capacity 540 KL by Gravity main of DI K7 150 mm diameter and 525 m long. From 540 KL capacity GLSR, clear water will be conveyed to the town by Gravity main of DI K7, 100mm dia. 310 m long and stored in 2 no. existing GLSR's capacity 165 KL and 60 KL. Condition of existing GSR‟s is structurally good except some minor seepage etc. Provision of some minor work like cement mortar plaster, pointing work and epoxy grouting etc. in 165 KL stone masonry GSR, has been taken into account in proposed water supply scheme. For effective distribution three zones have been proposed. The total distribution line is 21,025 m of 110 mm-200 mm dia. SCADA system to monitor levels of the tanks / GLSR and their operation have also been proposed. Provision of District Metered Area (DMA) has also been made to monitor the level of leakage, theft of water and better management of the distribution system. It is proposed to provide 100% metered connection in the town. Screening and assessment of potential impacts. ADB requires the consideration of environmental issues in all aspects of the Bank’s operations, and the requirements for environmental assessment are described in ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS), 2009. The potential environmental impacts of the subproject have been assessed using ADB Rapid Environmental Assessment Checklist for Water Supply. Then potential negative impacts were

ii

identified in relation to pre-construction, construction and operation of the improved infrastructure. The subproject is unlikely to cause significant adverse impacts because: (i) subproject draws treated water directly from an new water supply system operated by MP Jal Nigam, and therefore do not involve issues related to source sustainability or water abstraction or water treatment ; (ii) the components will involve straightforward construction and operation, so impacts will be mainly localized; (iii) predicted impacts are site-specific and likely to be associated with the construction process and are produced because the process is invasive, involving excavation and earth movements; and (iv) being located mainly in an existing built-up area, will not cause direct impact on terrestrial biodiversity values. Potential negative impacts mainly arise from disturbance of residents, businesses, increase in traffic, increase in noise level and dusts, and the need to dispose moderate quantities of waste soil during construction phase. However, there are well-developed methods for mitigation of these impacts to acceptable levels. Categorization. Based on results of the assessment and ADB SPS, the subproject is classified as environmental Category B, i.e., the subproject is judged to be unlikely to have significant adverse environmental impacts. An initial environmental examination (IEE) is required to determine whether significant environmental impacts warranting an environmental impact assessment are likely. Description of the Environment. The subproject components locations are in Patera town and its surroundings. The immediate surroundings were converted into urban use for many years ago, and there is no natural habitat left at the subproject sites. Proposed GLSR is located within Patera town on a hilltop vacant land, devoid of any tree cover / vegetation. No noticeable flora or fauna is observed in the influence area. Neither forest nor any sensitive areas area exists near the proposed site. The site in general is surrounded by open space and is easily approachable. The land is free from any type of disputes and encroachment. Pipelines are located along the public roads. The clear water rising mains, connecting Jal Nigam MBR to Patera GLSR, will be within the town. CWRM will be laid along existing Kutcha road of d ULB within ROW. The pipes will not traverse any private land across the entire length of the proposed alignment. Pipe will be laid underground. Distribution networks will be laid along the ULB roads/streets in the town within the road right of way (ROW). Distribution network/transmission lines will not be laid in forest areas, water bodies as there is no involvement of forest land nor comes along water bodies. There are no trees along the roads, except in some colonies in the outer areas. In old town areas pipes will be laid in the middle of the road, which may affect the traffic. There are no sensitive environmental features like forests within the project area. None of the components are located in or close to these, and there will not be any interference or impacts on these places. Project area experience a subtropical climate, typical to north India, hot summers, cold and dry winters and monsoon rains. Town is densely populated in the core/old town areas with narrow lanes, and small and closely built houses, while most of the areas are undeveloped and are still under agricultural use. Commercial areas are along the main roads, which are mostly congested with activities, pedestrians and traffic. Potential environmental impacts. Potential impacts were identified in relation to location, design, construction and operation of the improved infrastructure. The subproject area will not arise any significant adverse impacts due to: (i) small size population and their water demand, (ii) components proposed in the schemes are of comparatively is of small quantities & their effect will be locally which is manageable and controllable and (iii) predicted impacts are site-

iii

specific and likely to be associated with the construction process and are produced because the process is invasive, involving excavation and earth movements. Environmental impacts arise due to the project design or because of the locations chosen for the project components are not significant. In order to avoid creation of new source, raw water transmission and treatment facility by utilizing the under operation rural water supply project bulk infrastructure (MPJNM project) to obtain treated water directly for supply in Patera town. The proposed Patera WSS is designed with treated water from an under operation Multi Village Rural Water Supply Scheme surrounding to Patera town based on source as Byarma River named as “Byarma Group water supply scheme” executed by Madhya Pradesh Jal Nigam Maryadit (MPJNM) of Government of Madhya Pradesh in November 2014 and completed in May 2018 and the scheme is under operation since January 2019. This scheme is designed based on Byarma River, as water source, and includes all infrastructure from abstracting raw water from River, treatment, conveyance, and supply 10.5 MLD of water to total 22 villages, to benefit 62, 640 people (design population of 2049) in districts of Damoh under Bareta Block including Patera town (For Details of Scheme Refer Table 2 and Appendix 17 & Appendix 22). Water Availability by Jal Nigam: As stated above, the proposal under MPUSIP for Patera town includes only clear water storage, conveyance and distribution network including house connections. The proposed Patera WSS is designed with treated water from Madhya Pradesh Jal Nigam Maryadit (MPJNM) of Government of Madhya Pradesh. Also, Patera was part of original MPJNM scheme (Refer Appendix 21). The projected water demand of Patera is 1.34 MLD for ultimate year (2049). MPJNM has already consented to give required quantity of treated water to Nagar Parishad Patera from their Mass Balance Reservoir (MBR) and MP Jal Nigam Maryadit hereby confirm that 2.553 MLD treated water will be reserved and available for the Patera town water supply scheme from the water treatment plant of MP Jal Nigam (Refer Appendix 16). As mentioned above, for the Multi Village Rural Water Supply Scheme have been implemented by MPJNM is completed in May 2018 and under operation since January 2019 and running successfully. Nagar Parishad Patera is taking water from this scheme regularly. Given that allocation is made within the available water quantity, no negative impacts or issues related to water use conflicts envisaged. Water quality is ensured as the water treatment facilities including disinfection / chlorination facilities is part of MPJNM project. WTP is operational and potable water is being supplied to Patera and other 22 villages. Patera Nagar Parishad will be required to construct their own sump, GLSR and distribution network. MPJNM has already included provision of outlet in their MBR for Patera Water Supply (Refer Figure 10, 11 & Figure24). Patera Nagar Parishad will be charged for clear treated water as per actual consumption. Environmental Management Plan. An environmental management plan (EMP) has been developed to provide mitigation measures to reduce all negative impacts to acceptable levels. Locations and siting of the proposed infrastructures were considered to further reduce impacts. These include (i) locating facilities on government-owned land to avoid the need for land acquisition and relocation of people; and (ii)laying of pipes in Row alongside main/access roads, to reduce acquisition of land and impacts on livelihoods specifically in densely populated areas of the town. The EMP includes design measures such as (i) discontinuation of groundwater source, and shifting to a sustainable surface water source (taking treated water from Jal Nigam, GoMP and; (ii) quick leak detection and rectification to save the resources, etc. During construction, the EMP includes mitigation measures such as;(i) implementation of traffic management plan in

iv

coordination with local traffic police to minimize traffic impacts; (ii) awareness campaigns and consultations to inform residents and businesses of potential disturbances; (iii) provision of walkways and planks over trenches to ensure access will not be impeded; (iv) use of noise-dampening measures in areas with sensitive receptors such as hospitals, schools, places of worships and other silence-zones; (v) use of dust-suppression methods such as watering and/or covering of stockpiles; and (vi) finding beneficial use of excavated materials to extent possible to reduce the quantity that will be disposed off. As for the O&M phase, facilities will need to be repaired from time to time, but environmental impacts will be much less than those of the construction period as the work will be infrequent, affecting small areas only. The EMP includes mitigation measures and monitoring plan to ensure compliance to environmental standards during O&M phase. The EMP will guide the environmentally-sound construction of the subproject and ensure efficient lines of communication between Madhya Pradesh Urban Development Company (MPUDC), project management unit (PMU), project implementing unit (PIU), consultants and contractors. The EMP will (i) ensure that the activities are undertaken in a responsible non-detrimental manner; (i) provide a pro-active, feasible and practical working tool to enable the measurement and monitoring of environmental performance on site; (ii) guide and control the implementation of findings and recommendations of the environmental assessment conducted for the subproject; (iii) detail specific actions deemed necessary to assist in mitigating the environmental impact of the subproject; and (iv) ensure that safety recommendations are complied with. The EMP includes a monitoring program to measure the environmental condition and effectiveness of implementation of the mitigation measures. It will include observations on- and off-site, document checks, and interviews with workers and beneficiaries. The contractor will be required to submit to PMU, for review and approval, a site environmental plan (SEP) including (i) proposed sites/locations for construction work camps, storage areas, hauling roads, lay down areas, disposal areas for solid and hazardous wastes; (ii) specific mitigation measures following the approved EMP; (iii) monitoring program as per SEP; and (iv) budget for SEP implementation. No works are allowed to commence prior to approval of SEP. A copy of the EMP/approved SEP will be kept on site during the construction period at all times. The EMP included in the bid and contract documents. Non-compliance with, or any deviation from, the conditions set out in this document constitutes a failure in compliance. Consultation, disclosure and grievance redress mechanism. The stakeholders were involved in developing the IEE through discussions on-site and public consultation at several places in the town, after which views expressed were incorporated into the IEE and in the planning and development of the project. The IEE will be made available at public locations and will be disclosed to a wider audience via the ADB, MPUDC and PMU websites. The consultation process will be continued and expanded during project implementation to ensure that stakeholders are fully engaged in the project and have the opportunity to participate in its development and implementation. A grievance redress mechanism is described within the IEE to ensure any public grievances are addressed quickly. Implementation Arrangements. Urban Development and Environment Department (UDED) of Government of Madhya Pradesh will be the Executing Agency. Implementing Agency will be Madhya Pradesh Urban Development (MPUDC), A central Project Management Unit (PMU) attached to MPUDC will be responsible for implementing the MPUSIP. The PMU will be supported by Program Implementation Units (PIUs). Several teams of Design Consultants, and a Program Management Consultant (PMC) centrally located in PMU and with field teams, will

v

support PMU & PIUs. Infrastructure will be designed, built, and operated (DBO) by contractor for 10 years, after which it will be transferred to the ULB. Project Officer (Environment) at PMU and Assistant Safeguard Officer (ASO) at each of the PIU will be responsible for environment safeguards tasks and will be supported by Environment Specialist of PMC Team. Contractor personnel will include an Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) supervisor. Monitoring and Reporting. The PMU and PMC will be responsible for monitoring. The PMDC will submit quarterly and semi-annual monitoring reports to PMU, and the PMU will review and send the semi-annual monitoring reports to ADB. ADB will post the environmental monitoring reports on its website. Conclusions and Recommendations. The proposed subproject is therefore unlikely to cause significant adverse impacts. The potential impacts that are associated with design, construction and operation can be mitigated to standard levels without difficulty through proper engineering design and the incorporation or application of recommended mitigation measures and procedures. Based on the findings of the IEE, there are no significant impacts and the classification of the project as Category “B” is confirmed. No further special study or detailed environmental impact assessment (EIA) needs to be undertaken to comply with ADB SPS (2009) or GoI EIA Notification (2006). MPJNM has already allocated required treated water to Patera from the ongoing multi village scheme, and approval letter is issued accordingly.

This IEE will be updated during the detailed design stage by the DBO contractor to reflect any changes, amendments and will be reviewed and approved by PMU.

I. INTRODUCTION

A. Background

1. Government of Madhya Pradesh with loan funding from Asian Development Bank (ADB) has proposed to implement Madhya Pradesh Urban Services Improvement Project (MPUSIP), herein after referred as ‘the Project’. Madhya Pradesh Urban Development Company Limited (MPUDC) will be the Implementing Agency and the State Urban Development and Housing Department (UDHD) will be the executing agency for the Project. 2. The Project components are as follows:

(i) Component 1: Improvements to water supply and sewerage services in identified towns ➢ Continuous, pressurized, safe and sustainable drinking water through

private household metered connections in sixty-four towns in the State of Madhya Pradesh in Central India; and

➢ Sewage collection and treatment services proposed in six (6) identified towns (Sanchi, Maihar, Dhamnod, Nagda, Khajuraho and Rajnagar) etc.;

(ii) Component 2: Institutional Strengthening

➢ Capacity Building of implementing agencies (IAs), participating Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) and service utilities in contract management and service delivery for ensuring long term sustainability of services;

➢ Setting up of geographic information system (GIS) based water and sanitation asset management and service delivery monitoring; and

➢ Structured behavioral change campaigns to ensure the improvement in public health and cost recovery of service delivery.

(iii) Component 3: Project Management and Administration Support. This component will support the smooth and effective implementation and operation of the Project which includes expert support in Project design and implementation (design, procurement and Contract and Project Management, safeguards etc.), and project administration through Executing and Implementing Agencies.

3. The Subproject. Patera is located in the Damoh District in Madhya Pradesh state and improvement of water supply in the town is one of the subprojects proposed under MPUSIP. The objective of the subproject is to achieve safe and sustainable water services both in terms of services to customers, cost recovery and conservation of precious water resources. The subproject envisages providing 100% coverage of population with continuous, pressurized and safe drinking water services and achieving progressively increasing cost recovery by expanding the coverage and increasing operating efficiency. The subproject includes civil works (clear water transmission, GSR, distribution network, consumer connections and flow meters), project implementation and management, and non-physical investments. A detailed description of the components is provided in Section III. B. Purpose of IEE Report

4. ADB requires the consideration of environmental issues in all aspects of the Bank’s operations, and the requirements for environmental assessment are described in ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS), 2009. The potential environmental impacts of the subproject have been assessed using ADB Rapid Environmental Assessment Checklist for Water Supply

2

(Refer Appendix 1). Then potential negative impacts were identified in relation to pre-construction, construction and operation of the improved infrastructure, and results of the assessment show that the subproject is unlikely to cause significant adverse impacts. Thus, this initial environmental examination (IEE) has been prepared in accordance with ADB SPS’s requirements for environment category B projects. 5. This IEE is based on the detailed engineering report prepared by the DPR Consultant “MARS Planning & Engineering Services Pvt. Ltd. Ahmadabad” team and will be finalized during implementation stage by DBO contractor to reflect any changes and latest subproject designs. The IEE was based mainly on field reconnaissance surveys and secondary sources of information. No field monitoring (environmental) survey was conducted however, the environmental monitoring program developed as part of the environmental management plan (EMP) will require the contractors to establish the baseline environmental conditions prior to commencement of civil works. The results will be reported as part of the environmental monitoring report and will be the basis to ensure no degradation will happen during subproject implementation. Stakeholder consultation was an integral part of the IEE 6. To understand the environment-related aspects of the project, a detailed Environmental Analysis and Assessment study is required. The study will involve collection and analysis of information regarding the environmental issues related to the project and preparation of an Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) and Environmental Management Plan (EMP), to be duly integrated in the overall design of the project. The IEE study is expected to focus on the positive health and environmental benefits, through supply of safe drinking water and creation of integrated sanitary conditions in the project area/region. The proposed assessment study will suggest several environmental mitigation measures to be included in the project design, due to which the project is expected to have a net positive benefit for the people in the project area.

B. Existing Water Supply Situation

10. The ground water is the main source of water for the town. The existing Patera water supply scheme is based on Tube wells. The piped water is through 06 nos. of municipal tube wells located across the town, which is in working condition. Mostly these tube wells get dry during summer, so they are not dependable source. Apart from this, more than 81 Hand pumps also exists across the town. In addition to this, wells and hand pumps are other source of water in the town. Each tube well is fitted with 20 HP submersible pumps. The present water supply is 0.31 MLD @ 30 LPCD considering transmission losses. This is the less than 70 lpcd as per minimum norms of CPHEEO manual, and this becomes worse by draught conditions that reduce supply even further during summer. The quality of ground water is good in most of the places of the town. The water quality is examined every year by the PHED, DAMOH 11. As explained in the above section; at present the entire water supply is being supplied from tube wells. Hence, at present Patera doesn’t have any water treatment Plant. At present there are 2 GSR of capacity of 165 KL & 60 KL, one is newly constructed and other one is old but in good condition. Presently piped water is supplied directly from pumps through pipe lines

approximately 4 km length diameter ranging from 80 mm to 100 mm ACP which is old and in dilapidated condition. The present supply level is @ 30 lpcd and supplied alternate day basis. Patera town has coverage of 30% of town area by distribution system. Presently there are 500 domestic connections. In addition to these there are 81 hand pump Presently the water tax is being collected at the flat rate of Rs. 50/- per connection per month for domestic connections. 12. Water is supplied through tankers to the areas where water supply is scarce and areas not covered with distribution network. Nagar Parishad collects a flat rate of Rs.50.00 per month per household for domestic connection and Rs.150.00 for non-domestic connection.

13. Issues in Present Water Supply System

• Presently water supply is based on underground water sources which is inadequate to cater the demand of present population

• No treatment plant in the town

• Ground water level is decreasing annually.

• Lack of metered connections, reflecting the loss in ULB revenue

• The flat rates are required to be revised as the amount collected is very meager.

• The distribution system is not adequate as various parts of the town are not connected or integrated to the system.

• Lack of manpower has affected the operation and maintenance of water supply system including the revenue collection.

D. Proposed Water Supply Scheme

16. Water Demand: The gross water demand for Patera town for the base year (2019), intermediate year (2034) and ultimate design year (2049) demands are projected at 0.93 MLD, 1.13 MLD 1.34 MLD respectively.

Population 11240 11579 14144 16762

Water demand @70 lpcd (in MLD) 0.90 0.93 1.13 1.34

17. Water Source: As mentioned above Patera town is having acute drinking water problem. Presently water is supplied through tube wells. Tube wells are not dependable and reliable source. The nearest source is Byarma River which is 8 km away from the Patera town. It is a perennial River. M.P. Jal Nigam already executed group water supply scheme of the villages surrounding to Patera town, based on source as Byarma River named as “Byarma Group water supply scheme” and includes all infrastructure from abstracting raw water from River, treatment, conveyance, and supply 10.5 MLD of water to total 22 villages, to benefit 62,640 people (design population of 2045) in districts of Damoh under Bareta Block (Details of scheme are provided in Table 2, Appendix 17 & Appendix 22). In this scheme raw water is being pumped from Intake well to WTP through Raw water rising main. After treatment it is again being pumped through clear water rising main into Mass Balance Reservoir (MBR) at Hilltop near Patera town. From this MBR water is being conveyed by Gravity main and distributed to the 22 Panchayat’s including Patera town service reservoirs. 18. The proposed Patera WSS is designed to utilize the treated water from an under operational Multi Village Rural Water Supply Scheme, implemented by Madhya Pradesh Jal Nigam Maryadit (MPJNM) of Government of Madhya Pradesh. In the approved scheme provision for the water demand of the Patera has also been kept. Jal Nigam has already made provision of outlet in their MBR for Patera Water Supply (Refer Figure 10 to Figure 11 & Figure 24) and Nagar Parishad will be required to construct their own sump, clear water feeder main, GSR and distribution network. The projected water demand of Patera is 1.34 MLD for ultimate year (2049). MPJNM has already consented to give required quantity of treated water to Nagar Parishad Patera from their Mass Balance Reservoir (MBR) and MP Jal Nigam Maryadit hereby confirm that 2.553 MLD treated water will be reserved and available for the Patera town water supply scheme from the water treatment plant of MP Jal Nigam (for details Refer Appendix 16). As mentioned above, for the Multi Village Rural Water Supply Scheme have been implemented by MPJNM is completed in May 2018 and under operation since January 2019 and running successfully. WTP is operational and potable water is being supplied to Patera and other 22 villages. Presently Nagar Parishad Patera is taking water from this scheme regularly. Given that allocation is made within the available water quantity, no negative impacts or issues related to water use conflicts envisaged. Water quality is ensured as the water treatment facilities is part of MPJNM project. Patera Nagar Parishad will be charged for clear treated water as per actual consumption. 19. Proposed Components of the Subproject: Under MPUSIP, the Patera water supply subproject, include treated water storage, conveyance and distribution infrastructure. The total clear water demand for town is estimated 1.34 MLD in ultimate year 2049. A GSR for the

21

storage of clear water have been proposed near the Jal Nigam’s MBR at Hilltop at suitable location. From MBR clear water will be conveyed to the Proposed GSR of Capacity 540 KL by Gravity main of DI K7 150 mm dia. 525 m long. From 540 KL capacity GSR clear water will be conveyed to the town by Gravity main of DI K7, 100mm dia. 310 m long and stored in 2 no. existing GSR's capacity 165 KL and 60 KL. Condition of existing GSR‟s is structurally good except some minor seepage etc. Provision of some minor work like cement mortar plaster, pointing work and epoxy grouting etc. in 165 KL stone masonry GSR, has been taken into account in proposed water supply scheme. For effective distribution three zones have been proposed. The total distribution line is 21025 m of 110 mm-200 mm dia. SCADA system to monitor levels of the tanks / GSR and their operation have also been proposed. Provision of District Metered Area (DMA) has also been made to monitor the level of leakage, theft of water and better management of the distribution system. It is proposed to provide 100% metered connection in the town. 20. Thus, the present proposal for Patera Nagar Parishad consists of construction of, Clear water sump well, feeder main, & laying & jointing new distribution system, metering, DMA, SCADA system and house service connections for the ultimate demand given in Table 4 below. Table 4 shows the proposed water supply systems along with nature and size of components in subproject town Patera. Figure 12 to Figure 16 show the proposed water systems, component layouts etc.

21. Construction works. Civil works in the project include linear excavation for laying pipes along the roads, placing pipes in the trench and refilling with the excavated soil. The trenches will be of 0.4 m – 0.7 m wide and 0.8 to 1 m depth. Subsequent to completion of works, road reinstatement will be undertaken by the contractor as part of the civil works. The roads in the core city area of the town are very narrow and congested with pedestrians and vehicles, while the roads in outer areas are wide. Other civil works in the subproject include construction of GSRs at the identified sites. These works will be confined to sites, and construction will include

23

general activities like excavation for foundation, construction of foundations, columns, walls and roof in cement concrete and masonry, and fixing of mechanical and electrical fixtures, etc. 22. Project benefits. The subproject aims to achieve safe and sustainable water services both in terms of services to customers, cost recovery and conservation of precious water resources. The subproject will provide continuous, pressurized and safe drinking water services to entire population of the towns (100% coverage). Besides achieving progressively increasing cost recovery by expanding the coverage and increasing operating efficiency, the subproject will improve the overall environmental quality of the town. It will reduce the reduced time and costs of households in accessing alternative sources of water and will lead to better public health particularly reduction in waterborne and infectious diseases. E. Implementation Schedule

23. After the approval of the detailed project report, bid has been prepared and tenders are invited by June 2020. Price Bid opened & it is under evaluation and the contract will be awarded may be November 2020. Construction is likely to start in January 2020, and will take about 24 months.

III. POLICY, LEGAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE FRAMEWORK

A. ADB Policy

24. ADB requires the consideration of environmental issues in all aspects of ADB’s operations, and the requirements for environmental assessment are described in ADB SPS, 2009. This states that ADB requires environmental assessment of all ADB investments. “MPUDC/PMU will adhere to necessary protocols in response to emerging infectious diseases such as the corona virus disease, 2019 (COVID-19) consistent with the guidelines of relevant government healthcare agencies and the World Health Organization. “ 25. Screening and categorization. The nature of the environmental assessment required for a project depends on the significance of its environmental impacts, which are related to the type and location of the project; the sensitivity, scale, nature, and magnitude of its potential impacts; and the availability of cost-effective mitigation measures. Projects are screened for their expected environmental impacts, and are assigned to one of the following four categories:

(i) 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 determine 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.

(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 insignificant impacts.

26. 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. 27. Public disclosure. ADB will post the safeguard documents on its website as well as disclose relevant information in accessible manner in local communities:

(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 the implementing agency during

project implementation upon receipt. B. National Environmental Laws

28. Environmental assessment. The GoI EIA Notification of 2006 (replacing the EIA Notification of 1994), sets out the requirement for Environmental Assessment in India. This states that Environmental Clearance (EC) is required for specified activities/projects, and EC must be obtained before any construction work or land preparation (except land acquisition)

30

may commence. Projects are categorized as A or B1 or B2 depending on the scale of the project and the nature of its impacts. None of the components of this water supply subproject falls under the ambit of the EIA Notification 2006, and, therefore no category assigned, and thus no EIA study and EC required for the subproject. 29. Applicable environmental regulations. Besides EIA Notification 2006, there are various other acts, rules, policies and regulations currently in force in India that deal with environmental issues that could apply to infrastructure development. The specific regulatory compliance requirements of the subproject are shown in Table 5.

amendments till date, so it is not

categories as either Category A

or Category B. As a result,

environmental clearance is not

required, either from the state or

the central Government.

None of the project components

of the water supply system

Policy, 2003

Prepared in accordance with the National Water

Policy, it states that “for environmental balance, skillful and planned management of all types of

developmental activities, economic use on

equitable basis and in view of the prime

importance of water for all human and other living

beings, an effective and sound water policy is

necessary”.

Policy is detailed in 17 sections dealing with

different aspects of water resources. No. 7 deals

with Water Allocation Priorities, and according to

which drinking water supply shall have the highest

priority followed by irrigation, power, tourism, etc.

Water Resource Department is nodal department

for permitting different uses of water resources.

Policy also states that “clear provision for reservation of drinking water shall be made in

irrigation projects”

Not Required. Treated water is directly sourced from existing water supply scheme of MPJNM NOC from WRD has already obtained by MPJNM from WRD department. MPJNM has consented to give required quantity of treated water to Nagar Parishad Patera from their MBR up to Clear water sump. (permission letter is attached as Appendix 16). Patera Nagar Parishad will be charged for clear treated water as per actual consumption.

IV. DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT (BASELINE DATA)

A. Methodology Used for Baseline Study

31. Data collection and stakeholder consultations: Data for this study has been primarily collected through comprehensive literature survey, discussion with stakeholder agencies, and field visits to the proposed subproject sites. 32. The literature survey broadly covered the following:

i. Project details, reports, maps, and other documents prepared by DPR consultant ii. Discussions with Technical experts, municipal authorities, relevant government

agencies like Jal Nigam, WRD, ULB etc. iii. Secondary data from previous project reports and published articles, and iv. Literature on land use, soil, geology, hydrology, climate, socioeconomic profiles,

and other planning documents collected from Government agencies and websites.

33. Ocular inspection: Several visits to the project sites were made during IEE preparation period in 2016 to assess the existing environment (physical, biological, and socioeconomic) and gather information with regard to the proposed sites and scale of the proposed project. A separate socioeconomic study was conducted to determine the demographic information, existing service levels, stakeholder needs and priorities.

B. Physical Environment

1. Location, Area & Connectivity

34. Patera is located in Damoh District in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. It is 35 km from the district head quarter Damoh and geographically located at Latitude - 23°59‟34‟‟N and Longitude- 79°40‟ 57” E. Patera is a Tehsil headquarter and blocks headquarter. 35. Patera town is newly established Nagar Parishad and this comes into existence on 04-03-2015 by Chief Minister Announcement. Patera Nagar Parishad (PNP) area comprises of 15 wards having an area of 3.05 sq. km. The study area covers only within the Patera Nagar Parishad limits. 36. Patera is located at Latitude- 230 59’ 34‟ N, Longitude- 790 40’ 57” E. Topography of the town is flat and undulated type. The soil in the town is medium black, shallow black and skeletal soil. There is hill in the middle of the town and it is located in the foot hills and plains of it around it. 37. Patera is well connected via road network to district head quarter Damoh, Kundalpur & Hatta town. Hatta town is around 20 km from the Patera town. Patera is well connected by road to another key town like Jabalpur and Tikamgarh. Patera is connected by private bus services with Damoh and Hatta. Pipariyasahni (4 KM), Kundalpur (4 KM), Hindoria (16 KM), Hatta (20 KM) are the nearby Villages to Patera. The town is not connected with rail network. The nearby railway station is Damoh which is 35 km away from the town. Patera is surrounded by Hatta Tehsil towards North, Damoh Tehsil towards west, Batiyagarh Tehsil towards west, Jabera Tehsil towards South.

2. Topography, Soils and Geology

38. Topography of the town is flat and undulated type. In some areas topography of the town is flat and undulating in some areas. There is hill in the middle of the town and it is located in the foot hills and plains of it around it. Although dotted with hillocks and low mounds of granite the valley is flat, uniformly and gently sloping towards the north-east, and formed mostly of the river alluvium. The area is mainly drained by Sonar River and the Beyarma River, which flow in the general slope of the country and flow a tributary of the Narmada, the entire district is drained by Sonar, Bearma and through the tributaries and feeders of the Ken River into Yamuna. 39. The soils in the town are Medium black (Chromesterts), Shallow Black (ustochrepts) and Skeletal Soil (Lithic Enti soils). Other types of soil are also met with near the mounds and on the upper reaches. Deeper alluvial deposits occur along the major rivers and streams of the District. The alluvial soil is loamy and fertile. Admixture of sand, in varying proportions and of various sizes of grains produces a number of soil types. Due to location factor also, some sub-types are added. The soil in the low-lying flats with poor drainage is usually saline. It is generally brown in colour. The alkaline soil is grey, sticky on wetting and hard on drying acquiring a cloddy structure. Growth of crops or flora is difficult at places where undulating Kankar layer often comes up on the surface in any soil region. Due to alternate leaching and capillary rise of moisture the subordinate layer of calcium carbonate is also undesirable. The alluvial tract is marked by the gullies along the major rivers and their tributary streams caused by the water-action on the loose soil. The banks of the deep streams and their upper reaches in the alluvial tracts are experiencing the rill-erosion which is the early stage of gully-formation. To some extent it is a natural process but is accelerated because of the removal of the natural flora,

39

uncontrolled grazing, careless ploughing and unplanned management of field drainage, Gullies have developed in the alluvium all along the Byarma, the Mahuar and the Parron

3. Seismology

40. As per the seismic zoning map of India, project area falls under Zone II, which is the lowest earthquake risk zone in India. This zone is termed as “low damage risk zone”.

4. Climatic Conditions

41. The Climate of Patera town of Damoh district is characterized by a hot summer and general dryness except during the southwest monsoon season. The year may be divided into four seasons. The cold season, December to February is followed by the hot season from March to about the middle of June. The period from the middle of June to September is the southwest monsoon. October and November form the post monsoon or transition period.

42. The normal annual means maximum and minimum temperatures of Patera town is 32.6 and 18.9C respectively. The normal maximum temperature received during the month of May

is 42.0 C and normal minimum during the month of December/January is 9.7C. The maximum temperature goes up to 46°C in summers and minimum temperature can drop up to 4.7°C in winters. 43. During the southwest monsoon season the relative humidity generally exceeds 88% (August month). In the rest of the year it is drier. The driest part of the year is the summer season, when relative humidity is less than 31%. May is the driest month of the year. 44. The wind velocity is higher during the pre-monsoon period as compared to post monsoon period. The maximum wind velocity 8.2 km/hr observed during the month of June and minimum 2.6 km/hr during the month of December. The average normal annual wind velocity of Patera town is 4.9 km/hr. 45. The average annual rainfall of Patera town is 1173.0 mm. Patera receives maximum rainfall during southwest monsoon period i.e. July to September. About 90.4% of the annual rainfall received during monsoon season, which occurs in the month of July-Sep. Only 9.6% of the annual rainfall takes place between October to May period. Thus, surplus water for ground water recharge is available only during the southwest monsoon period.

5. Surface Water

46. The town Patera having 3 to 4 ponds, which is located within the PNP boundary and used directly by the resident for irrigation and other purposes. No water quality information is available for ponds. Nearest surface water source is Byarma River which is tributary of Narmada River. It is the most prominent river in the vicinity of project area. The river is Perennial in nature 47. Water Quality and Surface Water Characteristics: The raw water analysis of Byarma River was carried out initially in the Month of June, 2013, and then recently in the Month of March, 2018. The analysis reports received from State Research Laboratory (SRL), Public Health Engineering Department (P.H.E.D.), Chattarpur (Refer Table 11 to Table 12 & Appendix 18) shows that the physical and chemical parameters, are found to be within the permissible

40

limits. The test results reveal that the all the water quality parameters are found to be within the drinking water quality standards permissible limits prescribed by the BIS: 10500:2012

6. Groundwater

48. As per CGWB report 2013, for Damoh district is characterized by variety of geological formations representing vast period of geological time. The Predominant Geological Formations are Limestone, Sandstones & Shales etc. Major Water Bearing Formation are Alluvium, Shale, Limestone and Sandstone etc. 49. The pre-monsoon (May 2012) depth to water levels (DTW) in the district ranges between 2.62 mbgl to 25.00 mbgl. The post-monsoon (Nov. 2012) depth to water levels (DTW) ranges between 0.20 to 10.00 mbgl. Analyses of long term groundwater level trend in last 10 years (May 2003 to May 2013)) of pre-monsoon period indicate that there is rising trend in the range of 0.01 to 0.14 m/yr and declining trend in the range of 0.02 to 0.2 m/yr. 50. Dynamic ground water resources of the Damoh district have been estimated for base year - 2008/09 on block-wise basis. Out of 7,30,600 ha of geographical area, 5,3,7419 ha (74%) is ground water recharge worthy area and 193181ha (26 %) is hilly area. There are seven number of assessment units (block) in the district which fall under non-command (99 %) and command (1% Damoh, Jabera and Tedukheda) sub units. Batiyagarh, Damoh, Jabera, Patera and Tendukheda blocks of the district are categorized as safe blocks, Hatta and Pathariya as semi critical (all safe in 2003/04). The highest stage of ground water development is computed as 82.0 % in Patheriya block. Patera block fall in safe zone. The net ground water availability in the Patera block is 3804 ham and ground water draft for all uses is 2315 ham, making stage of ground water development 61 % as a whole for Patera block. After making allocation for future domestic and industrial supply for next 25 years is 428 ham, balance available ground water for future irrigation would be 1311ham. 51. Ground Water Quality: Groundwater quality in Damoh district is generally low to

medium saline as electrical conductivity values varies between 325 to 1523 cm-1 . High EC

were found in the dug wells of Pathria (1523 cm-1 ) village. Nitrate more than 100 mg per liter was found in only Palar (114 mg per liter) village. High Nitrate in the village area may be due to excessive use of fertilizers and agricultural waste. 52. Except Hardva and Pathariya all ground waters are very hard. Very hard matters containing Mg+2 and So4 –2 laxative properties while very hard waters with high Calcium Concentration might lead to an increased incidence of Urolithiosis. 53. Based on Chloride contents all waters are entirely safe for irrigation except Patera and Tendukheda, which are of intermediate order under ordinary conditions of climate and soil even for the sensitive Crops and Plants.

7. Air Quality

54. There is no data on ambient air quality in Patera Town, which are not subject to monitoring by the Madhya Pradesh Pollution Control Board (MPPCB) as there are no major industries. Particulate matter is likely to be high, particularly during summer months. Traffic is the only significant pollutant, so levels of oxides of sulphur and nitrogen are likely to be well within the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS).

41

55. No field monitoring (environmental) survey was conducted however, the environmental monitoring program developed as part of the environmental management plan (EMP) will require the contractors to establish the baseline environmental conditions prior to commencement of civil works. The results will be reported as part of the environmental monitoring report and will be the basis to ensure no degradation will happen during subproject implementation. C. Ecological Resources

56. Project area mostly comprises urban areas, agricultural areas of Patera, which are converted to human use many years back. There is hill in the middle of the town and it is located in the foot hills and plains of it around it. Extent of forest areas in the project area is very limited, and none of the project components are located in the forest areas. The most widely found species are acacias like Babul (Acacia nilotica), Khair (Acacia catechu), Palas (Butea monosperma), ber (Zizyphus varieties), tendu (Diospyros melanoxylon), mahua (Mahuca Indica), semal (Salmalia malabarica) and kardhai (Anogeissus pendula). The Prominent species among the fauna include Crow, Sparrow, Parrots and Squirrel, Cats, Dogs, Buffalow, Cow, Goat and Pigs. D. Economic Development

1. Land use

57. The landuse pattern of Patera municipal area are as given below:

Residential Area - 53.24% Transportation - 1.02% Institutional Area - 2.73% Green Spaces - 12.63% Agriculture - 21.16% Other Uses - 5.48%

2. Industries & Agriculture:

58. There are no major or small industries in Patera. The economy is mostly dependent on agriculture and agricultural based activities. Patera is an agrarian town where 57% of the population are still engaged in one or the other agriculture related activities. Mainly crops are cultivated in two seasons namely Rabi and Kharif Crop is based on the climate and rain conditions prevailing in the area. Principal crops ar Wheat, Rice, Jowar, Maize etc. Gram, Tuwar, Urad and Sugarcane etc. 59. Occupational structure of the population is the primary indicator of nature of economy and economic base of the town. Occupational structure of the PNP area has been shown in Table 7. Out of total population, 4,024 were engaged in work or business activity. Of this 2,746 were males while 1,278 were females. In census survey, worker is defined as person who does business, job, service, and cultivator and labour activity. Of total 4,024 working population, 87.83 % were engaged in Main Work while 12.17 % of total workers were engaged in Marginal Work.

3. Infrastructure

60. Sewerage. There is no sewerage collection and treatment system in the town. Households mainly depend on individual sanitation systems like pit latrines, septic tanks etc. Open defecation is also prevalent in the project area. Septage from septic tanks is collected by mobile tankers with suction arrangement. Sewerage and sanitation systems needs to be improved in the town to meet the increased wastewater generation due to improvement in water supply.

61. Solid Waste Management. There is no proper solid waste management system in the town. Patera municipal council is responsible for SWM services their areas. Waste generated in the towns are collected and disposed by crude open dumping method in the outskirts of the town 62. Storm Water Drainage. Open drainage system is provided in towns for collection and conveyance of rain water from the town. Due to lack of sewerage system, the drains are presently carrying wastewater including sewage. Since rains are confined only to a short duration in monsoon, the drains mostly carry wastewater. Indiscriminate disposal of solid waste into drains is common, due to which drains are often chocked, creating unhygienic conditions.

63. Power Supply. Thermal power is the main source of energy in Madhya Pradesh, contributing nearly 90% of the electricity, compared to hydropower, which produces the remainder. 64. Transport. The old town area of Patera is characterized by very narrow roads that are frequently congested with traffic and pedestrians. In contrast the remainder of the town has a relatively good road system, particularly in the outer areas, where streets are wide and not heavily used by traffic. Existing road of the town is Pucca and Kuccha type. Roads are surface either with bitumen or concrete, and roads in the outer areas are mostly unpaved. Most of the roads are maintained by Patera municipal council except the main roads connecting other towns and villages, which are maintained by the Public Works Department (PWD). Road the condition is generally poor, with many roads in need of repairs and resurfacing. Patera Nagar Parishad is currently improving some of the important roads in the town.

E. Socio Cultural Resources

1. Demography

65. As per 2011 census, Patera had a population of 10,232. Of this males constitute 52.29% and females 47.71%. Overall literacy is 72.62% (which is slightly higher than the state average of 69.3%. The male and female literacy rates are 79.51% and 65.11% respectively. Sex ratio in Patera town is 912 females per 1000 males in 2011 which lower against state average of 931.

43

About 1% of the population are scheduled tribes (ST), but these are part of the mainstream population, and about 23% belong to scheduled castes (SC). Main language spoken the project area is Hindi. Moreover, the demographic details of Patera town are given in Table-8.

5. Distribution

Network • A total of 21.04 km pipeline ranging

from 110 mm to 200 mm dia is proposed to be laid within the RoW of existing roads in the town.

• Pipes will be laid along the roads/streets in the towns within the road right of way (ROW). In wider roads pipes/sewers will be laid in the road shoulder, and in narrow roads, where there is no space, pipes/sewers will be laid in the road carriage. Roads in the old part of the town are quite narrow (~3m), and in the rest of the town roads are wider. Roads are lines both sides with open drains. There are no trees along the roads, except in some new colonies in the outer areas. In old town areas pipes will be laid in the middle of the road, which may affect the traffic.

• There are no forest areas within the prescribed limit of the town. So there is no interference with forests. Also there are no water bodies along the pipeline corridor. Hence there is no environment impacts envisaged.

• The alignment of the pipeline may be on the left or right or centre of the existing roads depending upon the final designs to be prepared by DBOC.

• In Patera town the existing pipeline network has Asbestos Cement (AC) pipes, none of the AC pipes would be disturbed during construction and would remain in-situ.

V. ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

A. Overview

69. Potential environmental impacts of the proposed infrastructure components are presented in this section. Measures to minimize/mitigate negative impacts, if any, are recommended along with the agency responsible for implementation. Monitoring actions to be conducted during the implementation phase is also recommended. 70. Screening of potential environmental impacts are categorized into four categories considering subproject phases: location impacts and design impacts (pre-construction phase), construction phase impacts and operations and maintenance phase impacts.

a. Location impacts include impacts associated with site selection and include loss of on-site biophysical array and encroachment either directly or indirectly on adjacent environments. It also includes impacts on people who will lose their livelihood or any other structures by the development of that site.

b. Design impacts include impacts arising from Investment Program design, including technology used, scale of operation/throughput, waste production, discharge specifications, pollution sources and ancillary services.

c. Construction impacts include impacts caused by site clearing, earthworks, machinery, vehicles and workers. Construction site impacts include erosion, dust, noise, traffic congestion and waste production.

d. O&M impacts include impacts arising from the operation and maintenance activities of the infrastructure facility. These include routine management of operational waste streams, and occupational health and safety issues.

71. Screening of environmental impacts has been based on the impact magnitude (negligible/moderate/severe – in the order of increasing degree) and impact duration (temporary/permanent). 72. This section of the IEE reviews possible project-related impacts, in order to identify issues requiring further attention and screen out issues of no relevance. ADB SPS (2009) require that impacts and risks will be analyzed during pre-construction, construction, and operational stages in the context of the project’s area of influence. 73. The ADB Rapid Environmental Assessment Checklist in http://www.adb.org/documents/guidelines/environmental_assessment/eaguidelines002.aspis used to

screen project for environmental impacts and to determine the scope of the IEE. 74. In the case of this project (i) most of the individual elements are relatively small and involve straightforward construction and operation, so impacts will be mainly localized and not greatly significant;(ii) proposed water abstraction from the sources is very small compared to overall water availability, and the proposed stop dams are so shallow that the submergence is confined to river course itself; (iii) most of the predicted impacts are associated with the construction process, and are produced because that process is invasive, involving excavation and earth movements; and some works are located in the reservoir and (iv) being mostly located in an urban area, will not cause direct impact on biodiversity values. The project will be in properties held by the local government and access to the project location is through public rights-of-way and existing roads hence, land acquisition and encroachment on private property will not occur.

B. Pre-Construction Impacts – Design & Location

75. Design of the Proposed Components. Technical design of the (i) clear water feeder main from Jal Nigam MBR to Proposed/ Existing GSRs of Patera town, (iv) storage reservoirs, and (v) distribution network, connections, flow meters, etc., follows the relevant national planning and design guidelines, focusing on providing a robust system which is easy to operate, sustainable, efficient and economically viable. Besides, the project also included the following environmental considerations:

(i) Discontinuation of current unsustainable groundwater source and creating a new water supply system based on nearest surface water source of Byarma River executed by Jal Nigam, GoMP.

(ii) Avoiding creation of new source, raw water transmission and treatment facility by utilizing the ongoing rural water supply project bulk infrastructure (MPJNM project) to obtain treated water directly for supply in Patera town;

(iii) Minimizing water losses from pipelines by perfect jointing and alignments using appropriate techniques (HDPE pipes up to 150 mm dia joined by electro fusion couplers using on-site electro fusion welding, and all higher dia pipes by on site butt welding)

(iv) Designing the entire system to maintain optimal flow and terminal pressure, and optimising the overall energy usage

(v) Reducing the incidence of water borne diseases by providing 100% population including urban poor with potable water supplies

(vi) Improve water use efficiency and reduce water wastage at household level by recording and monitoring the water usage, and charging the consumers as per usage; due consideration to urban poor

(vii) Minimize unaccounted for water (UFW) losses using district metered area approach with flow meter and pressure logging arrangements to identify and rectify the leaks, and unauthorized connections

(viii) Using low-noise and energy efficient pumping systems

76. Source Identification: At present water supply to the Patera town is based on ground sources. Considering the falling groundwater levels in the town, and also looking into future growing water demand, and sustainability of the proposed system, it is proposed to look for an alternative surface source. For Patera town, only one perennial source is identified i.e. Byarma river which flows at a distance of 8 km from the town. 77. Byarma is a perennial river and flows throughout the year although with wide seasonal variations in flow characteristics. During the monsoon period, from end of June to August-September, the flow in the river is very high. Even in post the monsoon season of October, flow in the river is considerably high, after which it gradually reduces, and in the summer season of March to May, up to the onset of monsoon, the river flows are low, even though it is higher than the required flow. 78. Water Availability by MP Jal Nigam: In order to avoid creation of new source, raw water transmission and treatment facility by utilizing the under operation rural water supply project bulk infrastructure (MPJNM project) to obtain treated water directly for supply in Patera town. The proposed Patera WSS is designed with treated water from an ongoing Multi Village Rural Water Supply Scheme surrounding to Patera town based on source as Byarma River named as “Byarma Group Water Supply Scheme” implemented and executed by Madhya Pradesh Jal Nigam Maryadit (MPJNM) of Government of Madhya Pradesh in November 2014

58

and completed in May 2018 and the scheme is under operation since January 2019. This scheme is designed based on Byarma River, as water source, and includes all infrastructure from abstracting raw water from River, treatment, conveyance, and supply 10.5 MLD of water to total 22 villages, to benefit 62, 640 people (design population of 2049) in districts of Damoh under Bareta Block (For Details of Scheme Refer Table 2, Appendix 17 & Appendix 22). 79. As stated above, the proposal under MPUSIP for Patera town includes only clear water storage, conveyance and distribution network including house connections. The projected water demand of Patera town is 1.34 MLD for Ultimate year (2049). MPJNM has already consented to give required quantity of treated water to Nagar Parishad Patera from their Mass Balance Reservoir (MBR) and also MP Jal Nigam Maryadit hereby confirmed that 2.553 MLD treated water will be reserved and available for the Patera town water supply scheme from the water treatment plant of MP Jal Nigam (Refer Appendix 16). MPJNM has already made provision of outlet in their MBR for Patera Water Supply (Refer Figure 10 to Figure 11 and Figure 24, below). As mentioned above, for the Multi Village Rural Water Supply Scheme have been implemented by MPJNM is completed and under operation since January 2019 and running successfully. Presently Nagar Parishad Patera is taking water from this scheme regularly. Given that allocation is made within the available water quantity, no negative impacts or issues related to water use conflicts envisaged. Water quality is ensured as the water treatment facilities including disinfection / chlorination facilities is part of MPJNM project. Patera Nagar Parishad will be required to construct their own sump, GSR and distribution network. Patera Nagar Parishad will be charged for clear treated water as per actual consumption. 80. The MPJNM multi village scheme project is not proposed/implemented in anticipation of the ADB project nor any components of scheme are funded by ADB project. However, the sustainability of ADB project depends on this project. Adequacy of water supply to meet the project demand, quality of supplied water meeting the drinking water standards, and regulatory compliance is necessary for the ADB project to be sustainable and provide intended benefits. In terms of water adequacy, scheme is developed based on proper assessment of water availability in River Byarma, which is a perennial river, and water allocation to Patera is already made in the scheme, so there unlikely to be issues related to source sustainability. The water quality of Byarma River is suitable for drinking after conventional treatment and disinfection. Water treatment plant is already under operation and delivering water in required quality. In terms of regulatory compliance, MPUDC is coordinating with MPJNM to obtain necessary information. Since the scheme is already in operation, it is most likely that clearances / permissions in place. Information will be provided in the updated IEE during detailed design phase. 81. Updated Implementation Status of MPJNM Project. Byarma River based Multi Village Rural Water Supply Scheme has been implemented and executed by MPJNM – PIU Damoh. Bids were invited in 2014, and contract has been awarded to successful bidder “M/s Tejas Construction & Infrastructures Pvt. Ltd. Pune” in August 2014. Construction works started in November 2014 and date of completion was November 2016, and duration of construction was about 24 months. Due to delay in works date of completion extended upto February 2018 and scheme is completed in May 2018 and under operation since January 2019 and treated water is being supplied to Patera Nagar Parishad and other different villages also.

82. Water Quality of Byarma River: The catchment area is mostly characterized by agricultural and barren lands, and forest areas. There are no polluting sources like industries or mining in the catchment areas. Habitations are limited to small villages. Water quality Test Report of Byarma River is given in Table 11, below. All the parameters of water quality in comparison with drinking water standards are well within the limits, hence water quality is ensured as the water treatment facilities is part of MPJNM project.

83. Raw and Treated Water Quality Data from WTP Inlet and Outlet: MP Jal Nigam WTP is operational since January 2019 and potable water is being supplied to Patera town and other 22 villages. Water quality is ensured as the water treatment facilities including disinfection / chlorination facilities is part of MPJNM project. Chlorination system is there and it is working well. Raw and treated water quality test report from WTP inlet and outlet are given in Appendix 24 & Table 12 and Table 13, below. All the given parameters of water quality mention in Table 13 in comparison with drinking water standards are well within the limits and it is okay as per drinking water standards., hence water quality is ensured as the water treatment facilities is part of MPJNM project. All tests mentioned above are being done in MP Jal Nigam WTP laboratory by WTP lab in charge.

84. Utilities. Telephone lines, electric poles and wires, water lines within the proposed project locations may require to be shifted in few cases. To mitigate the adverse impacts due to relocation of the utilities, the contractor, in collaboration with ULB will (i) identify the locations and operators of these utilities to prevent unnecessary disruption of services during construction phase; and (ii) instruct construction contractors to prepare a contingency plan to include actions to be done in case of unintentional interruption of services. 85. Site selection of construction work camps, stockpile areas, storage areas and disposal areas. Priority would be to locate these facilities near the project components. However, if it is deemed necessary to locate elsewhere, sites to be considered will not promote instability and result in destruction of property, vegetation, irrigation, and drinking water supply systems. However, it would be necessary to ensure that the facilities are located in areas such that it does not cause any harm to the environment; cause any conflict with the local population, results in destruction of property, vegetation, irrigation, and common resources.

63

86. To prevent any inconvenience to local population and prevent harm to the environment siting guidelines have been developed for setting up of construction camps:

• Residential areas will not be considered for setting up camps to protect the human environment (i.e. curb accident, health risks due to air and water pollution and dust, and noise, and to prevent social conflicts, shortages of amenities, and crime). A minimum buffer distance of 200 m would be maintained.

• Sensitive environmental receptors forest, schools’ hospitals, religious places, water bodies, swamps, riverbeds/banks or in areas which will inconvenience the community will be avoided; and

• A detailed guidance for siting of construction camps is provided in Appendix 19: Guidance for Siting and Facilities at Construction Camp.

87. Site selection of sources of materials. Significant quantities of coarse aggregate and fine aggregate will be required for construction works. Requirement of gravel is limited. Contractor should procure these materials only from the quarries permitted/licensed by Mines and Geology Department. Contractor should, to the maximum extent possible, procure material from existing quarries, and creation of new quarry areas should be avoid as far as possible. Improper extraction of materials can disrupt natural land contours and vegetation resulting in accelerated erosion, disturbance in natural drainage patterns, ponding and water logging, and water pollution. It will be the construction contractor’s responsibility to verify the suitability of all material sources and to obtain the approval of Department of Mines & Geology and local revenue administration. 88. To prevent the adverse effect from the sourcing of quarry material required i.e. sand and stone aggregate, the following measures will be adopted in MPUSIP.

• The material will be procured from existing quarries which have valid Environmental Clearance by the State Environmental Appraisal Committee/ State Environmental Appraisal Authority/ District Environmental Committee.

• Further as a contractual obligation the Contractor is required to submit the Environmental Clearance certificate and the latest copy of the six-monthly Compliance Report submitted by the Quarry to MPPCB to the PIU before the procurement of the material. Contractor to submit to PIU on a monthly basis documentation on material obtained from each source (quarry/ borrow pit).

• However, if the Contractor opens a new quarry he has to obtain the environmental clearance and submit the same to the PIU before extracting any material from the quarry/sand mine.

• Submit to MPUDC on a monthly basis report of the quantity of material procured/extracted from each quarry.

89. Impact due to presence of Hazardous Material (Asbestos Cement Pipes): As discussed earlier asbestos cement pipes had been used in part of the pipeline network developed during the 1970’s. There is acute health risk of workers getting exposed to asbestos containing material if these pipes are uncovered in the course of the work. These, pipeline are usually laid at adept of 1.5 m from the ground level. Under this project the maximum depth of laying of pipeline would be 1.2 m. Thus, there would be no possibility of the workers getting exposed to the pipelines. Also, these pipelines can be left buried in the ground without disturbing their status quo. This would to a large extent reduce the exposure of the workforce to be engaged in the project from asbestos during excavation.

64

90. Further, a desk based due diligence, was carried out to understand the presence of the old asbestos pipes stocked in the different Go down of ULB in these two cities. It was reported by MPUDC that no such stockpile is maintained. 91. Even though adequate safeguards have already been incorporated in the design, considering the health and safety risk associated with asbestos the following precautions have been proposed:

• A detailed survey with the assistance of PHED and /NP on the presence of existing AC pipes in the distribution network or on areas which involve pipe laying activities. In the final IEE, a map showing the exact location of the AC pipes should be provided.

• Locate the new pipes carefully to avoid encountering AC pipes

• All AC pipes will be left in situ and untouched. New pipes will be placed next to AC pipes.

• In the event, that the asbestos fibers from AC pipes were accidentally disturbed/ exposed, the contractor should also prepare SOP for handling the AC pipes.

• Safe disposal and precaution will be taken as per the USEPA https://www.epa.gov/asbestos/safe-work-practices.

92. Impacts from Procurement of Material: The Regulation of Polychlorinated Biphenyls Order, 2016 states that all equipment containing biphenyl should be phased out by 31st December 2025. In such cases both the oil and the equipment would be considered as a hazardous waste and disposed as per the relevant legislations. To prevent this scenario No transformer procured under the project should cantina biphenyl and the Bid Document should clearly indicate this. C. Construction Impacts

93. The construction work is expected not to cause major negative impacts, mainly because:

• All the activities will be on the built-up areas of town and/or existing RoW, thus could be constructed without causing impacts to biodiversity.

• All the sites are located on government-owned land which is not occupied or used for any other purpose.

• overall construction program will be relatively short and is expected to be completed in 24 months with activities to conducted by small teams and specified location so most impacts will be localized and short in duration; and

• Most of the predicted impacts associated with the construction process are produced because the process is invasive, such as involving excavation. However, the routine nature of the impacts means that most can be easily mitigated, and the impacts are clearly a result of the construction process rather than the design or location, as impacts will not occur if excavation or other ground disturbance is not involved.

• As a result, there are several aspects of the environment which are not expected to be affected by the construction process and these can be screened out of the assessment at this stage as required by ADB procedure. These are shown in Appendix 1. These environmental factors are screened out presently but will be assessed again before starting the construction activities.

65

94. Pipe Laying Works. Civil works in the project include linear excavation for laying pipes along the roads, placing pipes in the trench and refilling with the excavated soil. The trenches will be of 0.4 m – 0.7 m wide and 0.8 to 1 m depth. Subsequent to completion of works, road reinstatement will be undertaken by the contractor as part of the civil works. Pipeline laying work will be taken up in section-wise by DBO contractor daily; trench excavation, pipe laying, jointing, will be refilled, consolidated with a plate vibrator/ roller and levelled by the end of the day; this limits the public disturbance to a minimum time. The mitigation measures are discussed in the EMP (Refer EMP Table 16). The roads in the core city area of all the towns are very narrow and congested with pedestrians and vehicles (mainly 2-wheelers), while the roads in outer areas are wide. 95. Earth work excavation will be undertaken by machine (backhoe excavator) or manually and include danger lighting and using barricades at every 100 m. Sufficient care will be taken while laying so that existing utilities and cables are not damaged and pipes are not thrown into the trenches or dragged, but carefully laid in the trenches. As trenches are a maximum of 1.2 m, there is no risk of collapse of trenches or risk to surrounding buildings. Once they are laid, pipes will be joined as per specification and then tested for any cracks of leakages. The minimum working hours will be 8 hours daily, the total duration of each stage depends on the soil condition and other local features. About 95% of the excavated soil will be used for refilling the refilling the trench after placing the pipe and therefore residual soil after pipe laying and refilling is not significant. 96. Other construction works. Other civil works in the subproject include construction of GSR at the identified sites. These works will be confined to sites, and construction will include general activities like excavation for foundation, construction of foundations, columns, walls and roof in cement concrete and masonry, and fixing of mechanical and electrical fixtures, etc. 97. Sources of Materials. Significant amount of sand and coarse aggregate will be required for this project. The construction contractor will be required to:

(i) Use material sources permitted by government; (ii) In unavoidable case, proper justification shall be provided to PIU as why

creating new borrow area is necessary, and contractor should obtain all necessary clearances, and obtain PIU approval prior to start of borrow area operation

(iii) Verify suitability of all material sources and obtain approval of PIU; and (iv) Submit to PIU on a monthly basis documentation of sources of materials

98. Air Quality. It is most certain that work will be conducted during the dry season, so there is potential for creating dust from the excavation of dry soil, backfilling, transportation to disposal, and from the import and storage of sand/gravel for bedding. Emissions from construction vehicles, equipment, and machinery used for excavation and construction will induce impacts on the air quality in the construction sites. Anticipated impacts include dusts and increase in concentration of vehicle-related pollutants such as carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides, particulate matter, nitrous oxides, and hydrocarbons. These however will be temporary, limiting to construction activities only. Dust generation from construction work will be mainly during the initial construction phase of earthwork, as the site is confined, dust can be effectively controlled with common measures. For linear pipeline works, dust generation will be significant throughout from excavation to refilling and consolidation / road relaying. Increase in dust/ particulate matter in ambient air have adverse impacts on people’s health and environment. Potential impact is

66

negative but short-term and reversible by mitigation measures. To mitigate the impacts, construction contractors will be required to:

(i) Cover the construction area with dust/wind screen (such as geo textile fabric) of at

least 6m height (ii) Initiate site clearance and excavation work only after compound wall and

barricading of the site is completed (iii) Barricade the construction area using hard barricades (of 2m height) on all sides

and provide dust/wind screen (such as geo textile fabric) up to 3m height (1 m above the hard barricading

(iv) Damp down exposed soil and any stockpiled material on site by water sprinkling; (v) Stabilize surface soils where loaders, support equipment and vehicles will operate

by using water and maintain surface soils in a stabilized condition (vi) Apply water prior to levelling or any other earth moving activity to keep the soil

moist throughout the process (vii) Cover the soil stocked at the sites with tarpaulins (viii) Use tarpaulins to cover sand and other loose material when transported by trucks; (ix) Control dust generation while unloading the loose material (particularly aggregate,

sand, soil) at the site by sprinkling water and unloading inside the barricaded area (x) Clean wheels and undercarriage of haul trucks prior to leaving construction site (xi) Disallow access in the work area except workers to limit soil disturbance and

prevent access by barricading and security personnel (xii) Fit all heavy equipment and machinery with air pollution control devices which are

Operating correctly (xiii) Ensure that all the construction equipment, machinery is fitted with pollution

control devises, which are operating correctly, and have a valid pollution under control (PUC) certificate

(xiv) Limit the speed of construction vehicles on access roads and work sites to a maximum of 30 km/h

(xv) Prohibit burning firewood in work and labor camps (xvi) Prohibit burning of solid wastes

Additional measures for pipeline works (i) Undertake the work section-wise: 100-200 m section should be demarcated and

barricaded (with hard barricades) (ii) Conduct work sequentially – excavation, pipe laying, backfilling; conduct pipe

testing section-wise (for a minimum length as possible) so that backfilling, stabilization of soil can be done

(iii) Confine all the material, excavated soil, debris, equipment, machinery (excavators, backhoe, etc.) to the barricaded area

(iv) Limit the stocking of excavated material at the site; remove the excess soil from the site immediately to the designated disposal area

(v) Control access to work area, prevent unnecessary movement of vehicle, public trespassing into work areas; limiting soil disturbance will minimize dust generation

(vi) Backfilled trench at any completed section after removal of barricading will be the main source of dust pollution. The traffic, pedestrian movement and wind will generate dust from backfilled section. Consolidation / road restoration, as proposed, shall be undertaken immediately

67

99. Surface Water Quality. Run-off from stockpiled materials and chemical contamination from fuels and lubricants during construction works can contaminate downstream surface water quality of the streams. As the rainfall in the project areas is mostly confined to monsoon, these potential impacts are short-term and temporary. However, to ensure that these are mitigated, construction contractor will be required to:

(i) All earthworks be conducted during the dry season to prevent the problem of soil

run-off during monsoon season; (ii) Avoid stockpiling of earth fill especially during the monsoon season unless

covered by tarpaulins or plastic sheets; (iii) Prioritize re-use of excess spoils and materials in the construction works. If spoils

will be disposed, only designated disposal areas shall be used; (iv) Install temporary silt traps or sedimentation basins along the drainage leading to

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

water bodies; (vi) Dispose any wastes generated by construction activities in designated sites; and (vii) Conduct surface quality inspection according to the Environmental Management

Plan (EMP). 100. Generation of Construction Wastes. Solid wastes generated from the construction

activities are excess excavated earth (spoils), discarded construction materials, cement bags, wood, steel, oils, fuels and other similar items. Domestic solid wastes may also be generated from the workers’ camp. Improper waste management could cause odor and vermin problems, pollution and flow obstruction of nearby watercourses and could negatively impact the landscape. The following mitigation measures to minimize impacts from waste generation shall be implemented by the contractor: (i) Prepare and implement a Construction Waste Management Plan (ii) Stockpiles, lubricants, fuels, and other materials should be located away from

steep slopes and water bodies; (iii) Avoid stock piling any excess spoils. Excess excavated soils should be dispose to

approved designated areas; (iv) Domestic solid wastes should be properly segregated in biodegradable and non-

Biodegradable for collection and disposal to designated solid waste disposal site (v) Residual and hazardous wastes such a soils, fuels, and lubricants shall bed is

posed in disposal sites approved by local authorities; (vi) Prohibit burning of construction and domestic waste; (vii) Ensure that wastes are not hap haphazardly dumped with in the project site and

adjacent areas. (viii) Get approval of PIU in writing that the necessary environmental restoration work

has been adequately performed before acceptance

101. Noise and Vibration Levels: All the construction work will be conducted at selected sites and along the roads in Patera urban areas, where there are houses, schools and hospitals, religious & historical places and small- scale businesses. The sensitive receptors are the general population in these areas. Increase in noise level may be caused by excavation, particularly breaking of cement concrete or bitumen roads, operation of construction equipment like concrete mixers, and the transportation of equipment, materials, and people. Vibration generated from construction activity, for instance from the use of pneumatic drills, will have

68

impact on nearby buildings and monuments. This impact is negative but short-term, and reversible by mitigation measures. The construction contractor will be required to:

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

(ii) Horns should 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 jackhammers with noise-reducing mufflers, and use portable street barriers to minimise sound impact to surrounding sensitive receptor; and

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

(v) Identify any buildings at risk from vibration damage and avoiding any use of pneumatic drills or heavy vehicles in the vicinity;

102. 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. In Patera groundwater is deeper than the proposed excavation depths, and rains are limited to short duration during monsoon. However, to ensure that water will not pond in pits and voids near project location, the construction contractor will be required to conduct excavation works in non-monsoon season to the maximum extent possible. 103. Accessibility. Excavation along the roads, hauling of construction materials and operation of equipment on-site can cause traffic problems. Roads in the core/old town area of Patera is very narrow. However, most of the roads are used by pedestrians and two wheelers, and four wheelers vehicles are very limited. Potential impact is negative but short term and reversible by mitigation measures. The construction contractor will be required to:

(i) Confine work areas along the roads to the minimum possible extent; all the activities, including material & waste/surplus soil stocking should be confined to this area. Proper barricading should be provided; avoid material/surplus soil stocking in congested areas – immediately removed from site/ or brought to the as and when required

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

for people and vehicles; (iv) MS Trench Bridges3 should be provided with proper handrails so that it can

elderly and children not fall. (v) Motor able access will be provided in front of the Hospital and school during the

3 MS Trench Bridge or wwalkways must be provided for pedestrian traffic. These structures shall: i) have a safety

factor of 4; shall have a minimum clear width of 0.51 m; iii) be fitted with hand rails (between 39-in and 45-in from top of deck); and •Mid Rail: centre at 20-in to 22-in from top of deck iv) extend a minimum of 24 in (.61 m) past the surface edge of the trench and v) the deck should be made of slip resistant material and completely drained. The structural requirements of the bridge are as follows; i) Bridge Allowable Loading: distributed load minimum of 50 pounds per square foot (PSF) ; ii) •Point Loading: One (1) 300 pound person including tools per 2-ft of bridge length iii) Handrail Strength: 200 pound point load directed in vertical direction and horizontal direction not simultaneously, applied at any point between support posts; iv) Middle Rail: 150 pound point load directed in vertical direction and horizontal direction not simultaneously, applied at any point between support posts; v) Toe Kick: 50 pound point load directed in horizontal direction, applied at any point between support posts (https://www.osha.gov/dts/osta/otm/otm_v/otm_v_2.html /https://www.ntsafety.com/2016/07/21/temporary-bridges-used-for-worker-access-in-excavation-work/)

69

construction period. In front of school or hospital MS Trench Bridges of adequate capacity should be provided with proper handrails so it can withstand the pedestrian loads at these institutions.

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

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

congestion; (ix) Keep the site free from all unnecessary obstructions; (x) Drive vehicles in a considerate manner; (xi) Coordinate with Traffic Police for temporary road diversions, where necessary,

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

(xii) Notify affected public by public information notices, providing sign boards informing nature and duration of construction works and contact numbers for concerns/complaints.

104. Wherever road width is minimal, there will be temporary loss of access to pedestrians and vehicular traffic including 2 wheelers during the laying of pipes. Under those circumstances, contractor shall adopt following measures:

(i) Inform the affected local population 1-week in advance about the work schedule (ii) Plan and execute the work in such a way that the period of disturbance/ loss of

access is minimum. (iii) Provide pedestrian access in all the locations until normalcy is restored. Provide

wooden/metal planks over the open trenches at each house to maintain the access.

105. Socio-Economic – Income. The project components will be located in government land and there is no requirement for land acquisition or any resettlement. 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 the areas with predominantly 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/complaints. (vi) Notify community/ water users in advance about likely interruptions in water

supply. (vii) Provide alternate sources of clean water until water supply is restored.

106. Socio-Economic – Employment. Manpower will be required during the 24-months construction stage. This can result in generation of temporary employment and increase in local revenue. Thus potential impact is positive and long-term. The construction contractor will be required to:

70

(i) Employ at least 50% of the labour force, or to the maximum extent; and (ii) Comply with labor laws

107. 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:

o Comply with all national, state and local labour laws (see Appendix 9); o IFC’s General EHS Guidelines4 and Sector Specific (Water and Sanitation)

Guidelines5

o Develop and implement site-specific occupational health and safety (OH&S) 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) OH&S Training6 for all site personnel; (d) documented procedures to be followed for all site activities; and (e) documentation of work-related accidents;

o A detailed guidance for Safety from COVID-19 Pandemic during construction works is provided in Appendix 20 - Guideline for Construction work about safety from COVID-19 Pandemic (SOP – Health & Safety Plan).

o Ensure that qualified first-aid is provided at all times. Equipped first-aid stations shall be easily accessible throughout the site;

o Provide medical insurance coverage for workers; o Secure all installations from unauthorized intrusion and accident risks; o Provide supplies of potable drinking water; o Provide clean eating areas where workers are not exposed to hazardous or

noxious substances; o Provide H&S 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;

o Provide visitor orientation if visitors to the site can gain access to areas where hazardous conditions or substances may be present. Ensure also that visitor/s do not enter hazard areas unescorted;

o Ensure the visibility of workers through their use of high visibility vests when working in or walking through heavy equipment operating areas;

o Ensure moving equipment is outfitted with audible back-up alarms; o Mark and provide sign boards for hazardous areas such as energized

electrical devices and lines, service rooms housing high voltage equipment, and areas for storage and disposal. Signage shall be in accordance with international standards and be well known to, and easily understood by

%2BGeneral%2BEHS%2BGuidelines.pdf?MOD=AJPERES 5 https://www.ifc.org/wps/wcm/connect/e22c050048855ae0875cd76a6515bb18/Final%2B-

%2BWater%2Band%2BSanitation.pdf?MOD=AJPERES 6 Some of the key areas that may be covered during training as they relate to the primary causes of accidents

include (i) slips, trips and falls; (ii) personal protective equipment; (iii) ergonomics, repetitive motion, and manual handling; (iv) workplace transport; and (v) legislation and responsibilities. Training can provide the foundations of competence but it does not necessarily result in a competent worker. Therefore, it is essential to assess staff competence to ensure that the training provided is relevant and effective. Supervision and monitoring arrangements shall be in place to ensure that training has been effective and the worker is competent at their job. The level of supervision and monitoring required is a management decision that shall be based on the risks associated with the job, the level of competence required, the experience of the individual and whether the worker works as part of a team or is a lone worker.

71

workers, visitors, and the general public as appropriate; and o Disallow worker exposure to noise level greater than 85 dBA for duration of

more than 8 hours per day without hearing protection. The use of hearing protection shall be enforced actively.

108. Asbestos Materials. As discussed earlier a part of the existing network has been developed with AC Pipes. As part of the project careful planning has been carried out to prevent any interference with the AC pipes during the construction. As discussed earlier the AC pipes would be decommissioned and will lay in-situ without any disturbance and replaced by new HDPE pipes. Plan pipeline alignments carefully to avoid any conflict or damage. However, as a chance if such pipes are encountered during the construction, exposures of workers to asbestos containing material possess a grave risk. In such cases the following precautions should be taken:

o Workers should be made aware to identify AC pipes. o Work in such area should be immediately stopped and the excavations

backfilled so that it does not expose others to asbestos risk, o The Contractor should prepare an Asbestos Management Plan as illustrated

in the flow chart in Error! Reference source not found. . o Application of a detailed H&S procedure by the contractor such that

equipment and workers who might have been accidentally exposed to asbestos dust are protected (as per international protocols for exposure to protocol.

Figure 25 : Flowchart for Preparing an Asbestos Management Plan

109. Community Health and Safety. Hazards posed to the public, specifically in high-pedestrian areas may include traffic accidents and vehicle collision with pedestrians. Potential

72

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 PIU in identifying risk areas on route cards/maps. (iii) Maintain regularly the vehicles and use of manufacturer-approved parts to

minimize potentially serious accidents caused by equipment malfunction or premature failure.

(iv) Security personnel shall be posted at the site (v) Conduct construction safety awareness programs in the town through

neighbourhood meeting prior to start and during works, especially related to pipeline works along the public roads

(vi) Provide warning signs, blinkers to the barricading to caution the public about the hazards associated with the works, and presence of excavation along the road.

(vii) Barricade construction areas / trenches (viii) Plan material / equipment transport routes to avoid times of peak traffic and

pedestrian activities. (ix) Liaise with PIU in identifying risk areas on route cards/maps. (x) Maintain regularly the vehicles and use of manufacturer-approved parts to

minimize potentially serious accidents caused by equipment malfunction or premature failure.

(xi) Provide road signs and flag persons to warn of on-going trenching activities.

110. Central parts of the towns are characterized by narrow roads and some of which are accessible only by foot/two wheelers. Besides impeding the access, the trench excavation and pipe laying will pose safety risks to pedestrians, and the people living in these areas. Though the width (~400 mm) and depth (~700 mm) of trench is minimal, it will pose safety risk, especially for children and elders The construction contractor will be required to:

(i) Provide prior information to the local people about the nature and duration of work (ii) Conduct awareness program on safety during the construction work (iii) Undertake the construction work stretch-wise; excavation, pipe laying and trench

refilling should be completed on the same day (iv) Provide barricades, and deploy security personnel to ensure safe movement of

people and also to prevent unnecessary entry and to avoid accidental fall into open trenches

111. 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. The construction contractor will be required to:

(i) Consult PIU before locating project offices, sheds, and construction plants; (ii) Minimize removal of vegetation and disallow cutting of trees; (iii) Provide drinking water, water for other uses, and sanitation facilities for

employees; (iv) Ensure conditions of liveability at work camps are maintained at the highest

standards possible at all times (For details Refer Appendix 19- Guidance for siting and facilities in construction camps);

(v) Guidelines to be followed for establishing construction camps / labour camps etc. (vi) Camp sites shall be away from residential areas (100 m), sensitive areas

(schools, hospitals, etc. 250 m,) water bodies (500 m) and forests (more than 1

73

km) (vii) Use unused, vacant lands; no trees shall be cut (viii) Provide a proper fencing/compound wall (ix) Prepare a site layout plan & display at the site; uniformly label (name boards) all

the places in the facility (x) Entire site/facility area shall be provided with hard levelled surface as

appropriate; no loose soil, slush, water logging etc., (xi) Living quarters and construction camps shall be provided with standard

materials; no shacks or huts (xii) Provide cooking fuel (cooking gas); and a separate safe place to cook; fire wood

not allowed (xiii) Adequate lighting and ventilation (xiv) Provide drinking water, water for other uses, and sanitation facilities; drinking

water should be regularly tested (xv) Construct septic tanks and soak pit arrangement for wastewater disposal (xvi) Wash area, toilets (separate for women); mobile toilets for linear work (xvii) Provide clear pathways (for workers/staff) and roads (for vehicles) for safe movement

in the work site. (xviii) A temporary rest area for workers (for resting in break time, protection against

rain/sun, eating etc.) (xix) First Aid (xx) Prohibit employees from poaching wildlife and cutting of trees for firewood; (xxi) Train employees in the storage and handling of materials which can potentially

cause soil contamination; (xxii) Recover used oil and lubricants and reuse or remove from the site; (xxiii) Manage solid waste according to the following preference hierarchy: reuse,

recycling and disposal to designated areas; (xxiv) Solid waste shall be properly manager – provide separate bins, compost

biodegradable waste; sell recyclable waste (xxv) Camp sites shall be cleared and restored to original after completion of work, all

debris, wreckage cleared (xxvi) Remove all wreckage, rubbish, or temporary structures which are no longer

required; and (xxvii) Confirm to PMU report in writing that the camp has been vacated and restored to

pre-project conditions before acceptance of work.

112. Debris disposal. Prior to the commencement of works, contractor shall identify a debris disposal site in consultation with the PIU and adhering to following criteria:

(i) The site shall be selected preferably from barren, infertile lands. In case agricultural land needs to be selected, top-soil stripping, stacking and preservation should be undertaken prior to initiation of any activities.

(ii) Debris disposal site shall be at least 200 m away from surface water bodies5. (iii) No residential areas shall be located within 100 m downwind side of the site. (iv) The site is minimum 250 m. away from sensitive locations like hospitals, religious

places, ponds/lakes or other water bodies. (v) The local governing body and community shall be consulted while selecting the

site.

74

D. Operation and Maintenance Impacts

113. Operation and Maintenance of the water supply system will be carried out by DBO contractor for 10 years (including construction period), after which it will be the responsibility of Patera Nagar Parishad. During the system design life (15/30 years for mechanical/civil components) it shall not require major repairs or refurbishments and should operate with little maintenance beyond routine actions required to keep the equipment in working order. The stability and integrity of the system will be monitored periodically to detect any problems and allow remedial action if required. Any repairs will be small-scale involving manual, temporary, and short-term works involving regular checking and recording of performance for signs of deterioration, servicing and replacement of parts. 114. Operation and Maintenance of Pipes: Recurrence of pipe bursting and leakage problems can be managed by the leak detection and water auditing surveys. The ULBs will be required to ensure that the leak detection and rectification time is minimized. Repair works could cause some temporary disruption of activities at locations of social and cultural importance such as schools, hospitals, churches, tourist sites etc., so the same precautions as employed during the construction period should be adopted. PMU/PIU/ULB needs to:

o Identify any buildings at risk from vibration damage and avoiding any use of pneumatic drills or heavy vehicles in the vicinity. Complete work in these areas quickly; after the repairs are completed the road repairing shall be carried out by the ULB/ Contractor /Any other agency within a week’s time.

o Consult local communities in advance of the work to identify and address key issues, and avoid working at sensitive times, such as religious and cultural festivals.

o If necessary, a new pipe will be brought to site and replaced. The trench will then be refilled and re-compacted. This work should be very infrequent, and will affect individual small locations for short periods only.

115. Water supply delivered to consumers will meet the drinking water standards. Regular water quality testing will be conducted at various points to monitor and ensure that water supply all times meets the drinking water standards. 116. Exposure to Asbestos during the repair of Pipes: Since the new network would not have any AC pipes there are no risk of exposure to asbestos during the Operation and Maintenance. E. Project Benefits

117. During the construction phase, there are likely to be positive impacts through employment generation, increase in local revenue from the project activities. During the operation phase also, there is potential for employment generation, though limited, as the improved and expanded water infrastructure requires additional workforce. 118. Improved Health and Hygiene: The citizens of Patera Nagar Parishad will be the major beneficiaries of the improved water supply system, as they will be provided with a constant supply of better quality water, piped into their homes at an appropriate pressure. The project will improve the over-all health condition of the towns as water borne diseases will be reduced, so people should spend less on healthcare and lose fewer working days due to illness, so their economic status should also improve, as well as their overall health. This should also improve

75

the environment of these areas, should deliver major improvements in individual and community health and well-being.

VI. INFORMATION DISCLOSURE AND PUBLIC CONSULTATION

A. Overview

119. The active participation of stakeholders including local community, NGOs/CBOs, and the media in all stages of project preparation and implementation is essential for successful implementation of the project. It will ensure that the subprojects are designed, constructed, and operated with utmost consideration to local needs, ensures community acceptance, and will bring maximum benefits to the people. Public consultation and information disclosure is a must as per the ADB policy. 120. Most of the main stakeholders have already been identified and consulted during preparation of this IEE, and any others that are identified during project implementation will be brought into the process in the future. Primary stakeholders of the subproject are: residents, shopkeepers and businesspeople who live and work alongside the roads in which network improvements will be provided and near sites where facilities will be built (WTP and water tanks), and government and utility agencies responsible for provision of services in Patera PWD, WRD and Madhya Pradesh Pollution Control Board. Secondary stakeholder are: NGOs and CBOs working in the area, community representatives, beneficiary community in general, government agencies, the executing and implementing agencies (MPUDC, PMU and PIUs), Government of India and the ADB.

B. Public Consultation

121. The public consultation and disclosure program is a continuous process throughout the project implementation, including project planning, design and construction. Project planning and design stage consultation was conducted at Patera Nagar Parishad office with elected public representative and people of Patera town on 09 to 10th March 2018 & 13th October 2020. (Appendix 2 to Appendix 3).

1. Consultation during Project Preparation

122. Institutional consultations were conducted with the Governmental Departments such as PMU, Pollution Control Board, Public Health Engineering Department, Water Resourced Department, and ULB. The project proposal is formulated in consultation with Patera Nagar Parishad and suits the requirements of the ULBs. Discussion were held with local forest department officials on the forest boundaries, location of Panna wildlife sanctuary, and confirmed that these are located far away from the town. 123. Focus-group discussions with affected persons and other stakeholders were conducted to learn their views and concerns. A socio economic household survey has been conducted in the town, covering sample households, to understand the household characteristics, health status, and the infrastructure service levels, and also the demand for infrastructure services. General public and the people residing along the project activity areas were also consulted during visits to the project sites. A town level consultation meeting was conducted in March 2018 & October 2020. Details of the public consultations are provided in Appendix 2 to Appendix 3. In all 62 stakeholders participated in the consultations (male = 62, female = 00)

76

124. Summary of Stakeholder Consultation in Patera Nagar Parishad: During the consultation/s the following queries were raised by the local communities and it was responded by the Concerned PIU, PMU and DPR Consultant.

• All stakeholders were very supporting of the project, and promises to extend full cooperation during the construction phase as the activities are proposed to improve the water supply service levels and the living standards.

• Stakeholder expressed their concern regarding water charges, affordability, disturbance and loss of business due to the work in market areas, dust, road closure etc.).

• Water logging during rains, damage to existing utilities during excavation, disturbance to shops, traffic etc.,

• Stakeholders also indicated that a public notice on works, and awareness programs to be conducted

• The project team explained the proposed mitigation measures to mitigate / minimize such issues. Attention of stakeholders drawn to the EMP, and explained to them how the construction phase issues by avoided, minimized or mitigated and managed.

125. It was observed that people are willing to extend their cooperation as the proposed activities are proposed to enhance the infrastructure service levels and the living standard of the public. The public expressed their concern regarding water charges, affordability, the nuisance and disturbance (dust, road closure and traffic management activities) and loss of business due to the work in market area. Project team explained that works will be appropriately scheduled to avoid any nuisance and disturbance with proposed mitigation measures to mitigate / minimize such issues.

2. Consultation during Construction

126. Prior to start of construction, ULB and PIU with the assistance of PDMC will conduct information dissemination sessions at various places and solicit the help of the local community, leaders/prominent for the project work. At each ward/neighborhood level, focus group meetings will be conducted to discuss and plan construction work with local communities to reduce disturbance and other impacts. 127. A constant communication will be established with the affected communities to redress the environmental issues likely to surface during construction phases and also regarding the grievance redress mechanism. ULB/PIU and PDMC will organize public meetings and will appraise the communities about the progress on the implementation of EMP. Meeting will also be organized at the potential hotspots/sensitive locations before and during the construction. C. Information Disclosure

128. Executive summary of the IEE will be translated in Hindi and made available at the offices of PMU, PIU, Nagar Parishad offices, and also displayed on their notice boards. Hard copies of the IEE will be accessible to citizens as a means to disclose the document and at the same time creating wider public awareness. Electronic version of the IEE in English and Executive Summary in Hindi will be placed in the official website of the MPUDC, PMU after approval of the IEE by Government and ADB. Stakeholders will also be made aware of grievance register and redress mechanism.

77

129. Public information campaigns to explain the project details to a wider population will be conducted. Public disclosure meetings will be conducted at key project stages to inform the public of progress and future plans. Prior to start of construction, the PMU/PIU will issue Notification on the start date of implementation in local newspapers A board showing the details of the project will be displayed at the construction site for the information of general public. 130. Local communities will be continuously consulted regarding location of construction camps, access and hauling routes and other likely disturbances during construction. The road closure together with the proposed detours will be communicated via advertising, pamphlets, radio broadcasts, road signage, etc.

78

VII. PROJECT SPECIFIC GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM

A. Project Specific Grievance Redress Mechanism

131. Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) is a part of project management that is likely to increase accountability and responsiveness among service providers and provide a friendly environment to the beneficiaries of the project. GRM is considered a tool to measure efficiency and effectiveness of the project as it provides important feedback on the project management. Effectively addressing public grievances is a core component of managing risks under Asian Development Bank (ADB) projects according to the Safeguard Policy Statement (Safeguard Requirement 2: Involuntary Resettlement, Social safeguard and Environmental Safeguard; Pages 49-50, June 2009) – “The borrower/client will establish a mechanism to receive and facilitate the resolution of affected persons’ concerns and grievances about physical and economic displacement and other project impacts, paying particular attention to the impacts on vulnerable groups. The grievance redress mechanism should be scaled to the risks and adverse impacts of the project. It should address affected persons’ concerns and complaints promptly, using an understandable and transparent process that is gender responsive, culturally appropriate, and readily accessible to the affected persons at no costs and without retribution. The mechanism should not impede access to the country’s judicial or administrative remedies. The borrower/client will inform affected persons about the mechanism”. The statement allows the formation of grievance redress committee in the project areas to facilitate the concerns of affected people under the project areas. B. Purpose of the GRM Manual:

132. This document describes the procedure that shall be followed by the Madhya Pradesh Urban Development Company Limited (MPUDCL) under Madhya Pradesh Urban Services Improvement project (MPUSIP) to address complaints or concerns shared by people affected due to project related interventions. 133. The present document intends to provide clarity to project stakeholders on the grievance redress mechanism procedures to be followed under the project. The document provides clarity on how the complaint shall be received, registered, sorted, assessed, resolved and monitored under MPUSIP. This also includes action plans to be followed for effective implementation.

C. Principles:

134. The GRM is based on the following principles and the same shall be used to assess the GRM performance:

(a) Accessibility

135. The GRM shall be accessible to all people residing in the project area. It shall be available and provide assistance to all project affected people irrespective of language, literacy level, or cost. Project affected people shall access the GRM without fear of reprisal. Information on the GRM will be disseminated using various means to ensure people know about GRC, its members and procedures.

(b) Predictability

79

136. The GRM shall offer clear procedures with time frames for each stage and clarity on the type of results it can and cannot deliver.

(c) Transparency

137. The GRM shall operate in such a way that it is easy for others to see what actions are being performed. This will be undertaken through disclosure of all information to the public and affected people.

(d) Credibility

138. The performance of the GRM shall enable affected people to accept and believe that the mechanism works, delivers results and is trustworthy.

(e) Fairness

139. The GRM procedures shall be perceived as fair, especially in terms of access to information, and opportunities for meaningful participation in the final decision. Its outcome should be consistent with applicable national standards and should not restrict access to other redress mechanisms.

(f) Feedback

140. The GRM shall serve as a means to channel citizen feedback to improve project outcomes for the people. It is difficult to avoid Grievances totally but much can be done to minimize and manage complaints in order to reduce impacts. D. Nature and scope of Grievance Redress Mechanism under MPUSIP

141. GRM aims to address complaints of local affected people because of project interventions in the selected towns (64 towns) of MPUSIP during the project period. 142. MPUSIP predicts public complaints because of the nature of the project during the design, implementation and operation & maintenance stage of the project. In the design phase, people are expected to raise inconveniences with regards to land acquisition, compensation amount, compensation procedure and environmental issues. During project implementation, grievances may come from individuals or a particular group of people in relation to construction related inconveniences such as dust, noise, blocking drainage, damage roads, walls/boundaries of property and its impact on their daily lives in addition to land acquisition, and compensation. Issues related to corruption shall not be considered by the Grievance Redress Committee (GRC). Corruption related issues shall be forwarded to the State GRC (PMU) directly by the Chairperson of town level GRC at the time of sorting of grievances. The structure, functions of GRC, monitoring & evaluation systems and action plan of its implementation is described below:

E. Structure of GRM and its Functions:

143. The GRM will have a three- tier decision making process. The first tier which is at the town level aims to resolve all construction related grievances which require quick and efficient action. The second tier which is at the project implementation unit (PIU) will handle complaints that could not be resolved by the first- tier level and/or grievances related to land acquisition and compensation. The third tier which is at the project management unit (PMU) or state level will

80

handle complaints which are over and above the scope for the first and second tier and/or complaints which could not be resolved by the first and second tier levels. 144. Contact numbers of GRC Chair-person and members, CDO and contractor’s focal person will be placed at appropriate locations like construction sites, ULB office etc. 145. The three-tier Grievance Redress Mechanism under MPUSIP is described below:

1st tier (At Town Level):

composition of the Grievance Redress Committee (GRC):

• A representative of Chief Municipal Officer associated with Urban Local Body, Chairperson;

• CDO of ULB designated/nominated by ULB. • Field Engineer of Project Management Consultants; • Focal person (GRC Person) of DBO contractor of respective town; • Field Engineer of concerned ULB designated by the respective PIU, Secretary;

Major Functions: The major functions of town level GRC is as follows:

• Registration of Grievances by the Local person (GRC Person) of DBO contractor of respective town Sorting of Grievances by Focal person (GRC Person) of DBO contractor of respective town and Chairperson;

• Forwarding grievances to concerned authorities i.e. Site Engineer for resolution; • Information to the complainant on the decision taken to address registered

complaint and expected time to resolve issue; • Resolution of issues emerged due to construction; • Feedback to the complainant on action completed against registered complaint

and seeking complainant feedback on level of satisfaction; • Closure of grievances by CDO-ULB or forwarding of complaint to PIU GRC if

grievance remains unresolved.

2nd Tier {At PIU Level}:

Composition of the PIU level GRC:

• Project Manager, associated with Project Implementation Unit (PIU) of Madhya Pradesh

• Urban Development Company Limited - Chairperson • An elected member nominated by Mayor in Council/ President in Council of

VIII. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

A. Environmental Management Plan

149. An environmental management plan (EMP) has been developed to provide mitigation measures to reduce all negative impacts to acceptable levels. 150. The EMP will guide the environmentally-sound construction of the subproject and ensure efficient lines of communication between MPUDC, project management unit (PMU), project implementing unit (PIU), consultants and contractors. The EMP will (i) ensure that the activities are undertaken in a responsible non-detrimental manner; (i) provide a pro-active, feasible and practical working tool to enable the measurement and monitoring of environmental performance on site; (ii) guide and control the implementation of findings and recommendations of the environmental assessment conducted for the subproject; (iii) detail specific actions deemed necessary to assist in mitigating the environmental impact of the subproject; and (iv) ensure that safety recommendations are complied with. The EMP includes a monitoring program to measure the environmental condition and effectiveness of implementation of the mitigation measures. It will include observations on- and off-site, document checks, and interviews with workers and beneficiaries. 151. The contractor will be required to submit to PIU, for review and approval, a site environmental plan (SEP) including (i) proposed sites/locations for construction work camps, storage areas, hauling roads, lay down areas, disposal areas for solid and hazardous wastes; (ii) specific mitigation measures following the approved EMP; (iii) monitoring program as per SEP; and (iv) budget for SEP implementation. No works are allowed to commence prior to approval of SEP. 152. A copy of the EMP/approved SEP will be kept on site during the construction period at all times. The EMP included in the bid and contract documents. Non-compliance with, or any deviation from, the conditions set out in this document constitutes a failure in compliance. 153. For civil works, the contractor will be required to (i) carry out all of the mitigation and monitoring measures set forth in the approved SEP; and (ii) implement any corrective or preventative actions set out in safeguards monitoring reports that the employer will prepare from time to time to monitor implementation of this IEE and SEP. The contractor shall allocate budget for compliance with these SEP measures, requirements and actions. 154. The following tables 14 to 19, show the potential environmental impacts, proposed mitigation measures and responsible agencies for implementation and monitoring.

Urban Development and Environment Department (UDED) of Government of Madhya Pradesh will be the Executing Agency for the Program, responsible for management, coordination and execution of all activities funded under the loan. Implementing Agency will be the recently established Madhya Pradesh Urban Development Company (MPUDC), a wholly owned subsidiary of GoMP. A central Project Management Unit (PMU) attached to MPUDC will be responsible for implementing the MPUSIP. The PMU will be supported by Program Implementation Units (PIUs) with a flexibility to redeployment depending upon the implementation requirements. 156. The PMU and PIUs will be supported by several teams of Design Consultants in preparation of preliminary engineering designs. 157. Water Resource Review Committee (WRRC) is constituted to undertake a thorough review of the source when recommended by the Design Consultant in regard to techno-economic feasibility and sustainability especially ensuring climate change resilience, and Technical Review Committee (TRC) to review and approve the preliminary designs developed by the Design Consultants. 158. Program Management Consultant (PMC) centrally located in PMU and with field teams located in PIUs shall be responsible for implementation of the Program. All infrastructure contracts will be procured through performance-based contracts (PBCs) and include build-operate (BO) framework. Based on the preliminary designs prepared by Design Consultants, the DBO (design-build-operate) Contractor will design, construct, commission and operate for 10 years, after which it will be transferred to the respective ULB. 159. Two Committees - an Empowered Committee cum Executive Committee and a Technical Clearance and Tender Committee have been constituted by the Government to be responsible for effective and timely implementation of the Program. 160. Safeguards.

undertaken. Contractor should confirm EHS supervisor is mobilized and EHS coordinators are designated for each town for effective implementation of the EMU. PMU with the assistance of the PMC will review the report and permit commencement of works. 167. During construction, results from internal monitoring by the contractor will be reflected in their monthly EMP implementation reports to the PIU. PMU will review and advise contractors for corrective actions if necessary. Quarterly report summarizing compliance and corrective measures taken will be prepared by PMC field team at PIU and submitted to PMU (Appendix 15). During operation, the contractor will conduct management and monitoring actions as per the operation stage EMP, and submit to PMU and ULB a quarterly report on EMP implementation and compliance. 168. Based on monthly & quarterly reports and measurements, PMU will submit to ADB, semi-annual (6-monthly) Environmental Monitoring Reports (EMR). Once concurrence from the ADB is received the report will be disclosed on the MPUDC and PMU websites. 169. ADB will review project performance against the MPUSIP commitments as agreed in the legal documents. The extent of ADB’s monitoring and supervision activities will be commensurate with the project’s risks and impacts. Monitoring and supervising of social and environmental safeguards will be integrated into the project performance management system

F. EMP Implementation Cost

170. Most of the mitigation measures require the contractors to adopt good site practice, which should be part of their normal procedures already, so there are unlikely to be major costs associated with compliance. The costs which are specific to EMP implementation and are not covered elsewhere in the projects are given below. The total costs are estimated at INR 1.954 million, which are to be covered by contractor costs.

IX. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

171. The process described in this document has assessed the environmental impacts of all elements of the Patera water supply improvement subproject. All potential impacts were identified in relation to pre-construction, construction, and operation phases. Planning principles and design considerations have been reviewed and incorporated into the site planning and design process wherever possible; thus, environmental impacts as being due to the project design or location were not significant. 172. Patera town is newly established Nagar Parishad and this comes into existence on 04-03-2015 by Chief Minister Announcement. As mentioned above in Chapter VI, Section A, Patera town is having acute drinking water problem. Presently water is supplied through tube wells. Tube wells are not dependable and reliable source. Patera was included by a multi-village scheme implemented by Madhya Pradesh Jal Nigam Maryadit (MPJNM) of Government of Madhya Pradesh to provide treated water supply to the town. This scheme is based on Byarma

River, which is 8 km away from the Patera town. The implementation of this scheme, known as “Byarma Group water supply scheme”, started by MPJNM in November 2014. This scheme includes all infrastructure required for abstracting raw water from River Byarma (river intake), water treatment plant, conveyance pipelines, etc., to supply 10.5 MLD of water to total 22 villages benefitting 62,640 people (design population of 2049) in Bareta Block of district of Damoh. Construction work of this scheme completed in May 2018, and operation started in January 2019, and since then scheme is supplying treated water. Presently Patera town is taking water from this scheme regularly. 173. The projected water demand of Patera is 1.34 MLD for ultimate year (2049). MPJNM has already consented to give required quantity of treated water to Nagar Parishad Patera from the master balancing reservoir (MBR), which is located within the town. Patera Nagar Parishad will be charged for clear treated water as per actual consumption. Therefore, under the MPUSIP, it is proposed to develop distribution system with the following components: clear water storage, conveyance and distribution network including house connections. As the subproject is sourcing treated water from a new water supply system operated by MP Jal Nigam, and therefore do not involve issues related to source sustainability or water abstraction or water treatment. 174. Since the subproject is sourcing treated water directly from an existing system, there are no impacts related to water abstraction or treatment. The likely impacts of the subproject are only related to construction and operation of distribution system. The MPJNM multi village scheme is not proposed/implemented in anticipation of the ADB project nor any components of scheme are funded by ADB project. However, the sustainability of ADB project depends on this scheme. Adequacy of water supply to meet the project demand, quality of supplied water meeting the drinking water standards, and regulatory compliance is necessary for the ADB project to be sustainable and provide intended benefits. In terms of water adequacy, scheme is developed based on proper assessment of water availability in River Byarma, which is a perennial river, and water allocation to Patera is already made in the scheme, so there unlikely to be issues related to source sustainability. The water quality of Byarma River is suitable for drinking after conventional treatment and disinfection. Water treatment plant is already under operation and delivering water in required quality. In terms of regulatory compliance, MPUDC is coordinating with MPJNM to obtain necessary information. Since the scheme is already in operation, it is most likely that clearances / permissions in place. Information will be provided in the updated IEE during detailed design phase. 175. During the construction phase, impacts mainly arise from the construction dust and noise, the need to dispose of large quantities of waste soil and import of construction material, and from the disturbance of residents, businesses, traffic and important buildings by the construction work. The social impacts (access disruptions) due to construction activities are unavoidable, as the residential and commercial establishments exist along the roads where pipes will be laid. As some of the works are conducted in river, there is a risk of water contamination, river bed damage, etc. Appropriate measures are suggested. 176. Anticipated impacts of water supply during operation and maintenance will be related to detection and repair of leaks, pipe bursts. These are, however, likely to be minimal, as proper design and selection of good quality pipe material shall mean that leaks are minimal. Leak repair work will be similar to the pipe-laying work. The DBO Contractor will implement the operation stage EMP during contract period.

133

177. The public participation processes undertaken during project design ensured stakeholders are engaged during the preparation of the IEE. The planned information disclosure measures and process for carrying out consultation with affected people will facilitate their participation during project implementation. 178. The project’s grievance redress mechanism will provide the citizens with a platform to redress of their grievances, and describes the informal and formal channels, time frame, and mechanisms for resolving complaints about environmental performance. 179. The EMP will assist the PMU, PIU, PMC and DBO contractor in mitigating the environmental impacts, and guide them in the environmentally sound execution of the proposed project. A copy of the EMP/approved SEP shall be kept on-site during the construction period at all times. The EMP shall be made binding on all contractors operating on the site, and will be included in the contractual clauses. Non-compliance with, or any deviation from, the conditions set out in this document shall constitute a failure in compliance. 180. The project will benefit the general public by contributing to the long-term improvement of water supply systems and community livability in Patera. 181. Therefore, as per ADB SPS, the project is classified as environmental category B and does not require further environmental impact assessment. MPJNM has already allocated required treated water to Patera from the ongoing multi village scheme, and approval letter is issued accordingly. This IEE shall be updated during the detailed design stage by the DBO contractor to reflect any changes, amendments and will be reviewed and approved by PMU.
