KARNATAKA STATE HIGHWAYS IMPROVEMENT PROJECT (KSHIP)

ENVIRONMENT IMPACT ASSESSMENT

E. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY – EPC & ANNUITY PACKAGES

E.1 Introduction:

This report summarizes the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Environmental

Management Plan (EMP) for the Project, including project background, applicable legal and policy

framework and environmental monitoring standards, significant potential adverse impacts on the

physical, biological and socio-economic attributes of environment along with mitigation measures in

the project area, analysis of alternatives, public consultation programs and environmental

management plan. This Executive Summary prepared for the Karnataka State Highways Improvement

Project II - World Bank funded EPC and Annuity packages serves as a concise environmental report.

E.2 Project Background:

The Karnataka State Highways Improvement Project (KSHIP) is an initiative by the Public Works

Department (PWD) of the Government of Karnataka (GOK), to undertake improvement of State

Highways and Major District Roads.

Under a previous World Bank (WB) assisted KSHIP-I program (2001 to 2007), 2,406 km state roads

covering State Highways (SH) and Major District Roads (MDR) were improved. An updated

Strategic Options Study (SOS), recently performed for the core road network under the control of the

PWD, identified a further 7,094 km of State Highways as potential candidate roads for prioritized

improvement. A techno-economic feasibility study and environmental/social screening of about 4,900

km of SOS and other roads completed in November 2006 evaluated the feasibility of improvement

works and established a priority ranking of 3,411 km of roads. KSHIP-II comprises the subsequent

improvement program of 3,411 km identified through this feasibility study. To facilitate this, the

Government of Karnataka appointed M/s Scott Wilson Kirkpatrick UK with Scott Wilson Kirkpatrick

India as the Project Coordinating Consultants (PCC) to carry out the Detailed Project Report (DPR)

for upgradation of the 3411 km of roads.

From the 3,411km of roads, a total of 832.51 km of roads have been selected for upgradation under

conventional construction contracts (268.59 km) and Annuity concessions (563.92 km). The

conventional construction contracts are referred to as EPC (engineer, procure and construct). The

proposed EPC1 and Annuity

2 projects are grouped into five contract packages (consisting of eight road

links) and four contract packages (consisting of seventeen road links) respectively. None of the EPC

and Annuity road links pass through any protected area including tiger reserves.

The Annuity concessions are structured such that the concessionaire receives a pre-determined

amount of money as part-payment during the construction period and annuity payments every year

during the operation and maintenance period in return for the obligation to develop and maintain the

highway for the duration of the concession period (10 years). The concessionaire is provided with the

designs and drawings (including DPR). However, the concessionaire is allowed to improve upon the

design on the basis of given standards and specifications, with minimum required standards for certain

components such as horizontal & vertical alignment, pavement to be met. The concessionaire shall

1 EPC contracts: Under EPC (engineer, procure and construct), contractors would build roads and hand over to

GOK, and the cost of the project is fully met by GOK from public funds and World Bank assistance. 2 Annuity concessions: In Annuity, the concessionaires would design, finance, build, operate and maintain the

road for a specified period, at the end of which the road would be transferred to GOK. The financing of

construction would be partly met through World Bank assistance. The concessionaires would finance the

balance and recover monies through Annuity payments from GOK.

construct the project within the project site provided by the GOK. No additional land acquisition will

be required during the implementation. The project site is based on the DPR designs, complying with

all the latest environmental guidelines with respect to environmental protection and conservation. The

scope of work of the concessionaire also includes preparation of required Environmental Monitoring

and Management Plans to be implemented for the proposed road construction works.

E.3 Need and Scope of Environmental Assessment:

Under the techno-economic feasibility study of 4,900km, the roads were subjected to Multi

Criteria Analysis (MCA) and environmental screening. Roads that did not qualify in techno-

economic feasibility studies and sensitive corridors passing through wild life sanctuaries and

national parks were screened to avoid negative impacts on eco-sensitive areas to arrive at a

length of 3,411 km of roads for DPRs under KSHIP-II.

The scope of the environmental study during the DPR stage includes screening, scoping, preparation

of an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Environmental Management Plan reports as per

the guidelines of the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF), Government of India (GoI) and

meet the requirements of Operational Policy 4.01of World Bank.

EIA notification, 2006 by MOEF, GoI covers expansion of state highways greater than 30km,

involving additional right of way > than 20m involving land acquisition and necessitates

preparation of EIA and EMP. Further, the WB OP 4.01 stipulates need for EA and EMP

under WB financing. In line with these guidelines separate Environmental Impact Assessment

reports have been prepared for EPC and Annuity packages including link wise Environmental

Management Plans.

E.4 Description of Project:

E.4.1 Description of Project corridors:

The corridors selected for improvement under EPC and Annuity are spread across the State of

Karnataka along with distance from nearest notified protected area are presented in the Table E-1

E.4.2 Typical road cross-section types adopted:

Based on the analysis of the primary and secondary data on these road links and comparing various

alternatives to avoid, mitigate and compensate the adverse impact on environment and safety for road

users, cross sections presented in Table E-2 have been evolved and recommended in the EMP. Two

different categories of cross-sections have been used in the design - rural cross-sections and urban

cross-sections. The table below includes various cross sections proposed for the project roads.

The cross-sectional details adopted are consistent with IRC guidelines.

E.4.3 Design speed:

Design speeds have been selected in compliance with the relevant IRC Guidelines. A

minimum design speed of 80 kph is considered for the project roads in line with the type of

terrain traversed. However, a target design speed of 100 kph has been adopted for all rural

sections in plain terrain. In village areas/built up areas, a posted speed of 50 kph has been

adopted from safety considerations.

E.4.4 Re-alignments/ Horizontal curve improvements:

Re-alignments are generally considered to avoid stretches of road that have significant constraints on

improvement – such as heavily built up areas with restricted width where the R&R costs would be

very high. There are 3 major re-alignments required on these roads. Also, to provide for safe

operation, minor re-alignments were carried out at sharp curves with inadequate sight distance, in

line with geometrical standards as set out in IRC guidelines.

E.4.5 Major and minor junctions:

In order to carryout geometric improvement at junctions, it was decided to categorise them

under Major junctions and Minor junctions. Major junctions involved are those with NHs,

SHs and MDRs that carry higher traffic volumes. Village roads and other roads with lower

traffic volumes were typically considered under minor junctions. The number of junctions

identified for improvement is presented in the table below. The improvements would provide

for higher capacity and safe operation.

E.6 Description of baseline environment:

Information on baseline environment was collected from secondary source of data for the macro

environmental parameters like climate, physiography (Geology and geomorphology), biological and

socio-economic environment of the project influence area. The micro-environmental details within the

Corridor of Impact (CoI) have been collected from Primary source of data such as base maps prepared

by reconnaissance survey, extrapolation of environmental features on the proposed design, tree

enumeration, Analysis for environmental parameters such as Air, Water, Noise and Soil quality on the

project road.

The proposed road links proposed for improvements are spread across the state of Karnataka. Road

links 6C, 21B, 19A, 19B, 19C & 19D are on the Northern Karnataka Plateau; road links 10A, 10B,

13A, 13B, T8, M7D, T21, M7A, M7B & M7C are on the Central Karnataka Plateau and road links

67A, 67B, 63A, 63B, 63C, 63D, 63E, 64F and 64G are on the Southern Karnataka Plateau.

Topography of the project areas varies from mixture of flat to undulating terrain to gently undulating

terrain with residual hills.

The mean maximum temperature of the project area varies from 36.48 0C to 44.62

0C and mean

minimum temperature from 9.73 0C to 12.58

0C. The annual normal rainfall of the project area varies

from 383 mm to 821 mm.

Air quality, noise levels, water quality and soil characteristics for the proposed project roads have

been monitored at representative locations.

Proposed project road links 6C, 13A, 13B, 21B, 19A, 19B, 19C, 19D, 10A and 10B are distributed in

the Krishna river basin; links M7D, T8, T21, M7A, M7B and M7C are distributed in the Tungabhadra

river basin; road links 63A, 63B, 63C and 63D are distributed over the Kaveri river basin and road

links 67A, 67B, 63E, 64F and 64G are distributed over the Penneru and Palar river basins of

Karnataka state. The water contours and ground water yields in the project area varies from 400 – 500

(6C) to 800 - 1000 (67B) m above MSL and <1 (67B) to 5 – 25 (13 A&B) respectively.

The geological history of Karnataka is largely confined to the two oldest eras – the Archaean and the

Proterozoic. Deccan Trap covers the substantial part of North Karnataka. The bulk of the rocks of

Karnataka are Archaean in age. Major part of project area is covered with rock types of Granite,

Grano-diorite, Pegmatite, unclassified crystalline rocks (mainly Gneisses) Schist, Phyllites, Shale,

Limestone and Slates and distributed with minerals such as Red ochre, Feldspar, Gypsum, China

Clay, Manganese, Limestone and Magnesite, etc.

Project areas have different types of soils. Corridor 67 is over red loamy to red gravel type of soils

suitable for growing ragi, paddy, mulberry, mango and oil seeds; M7 corridor and T8 project road is

over red loamy, red sandy and mixed red & black soils suitable for growing sun flower, paddy and

cotton; 21B is over mixed red & black suitable for growing sun flower, wheat, ground nuts and

cotton; road links 6C, 13A, 13B, 10A and 10B are on Black Cotton medium and red gravel soils

which are suitable for growing pulses, maize, jowar, grapes and cotton; 63 and 64 corridors are in red

loamy, red sandy and red gravel type of soils suitable for growing ragi, paddy, mulberry, ground nuts




16

and oil seeds and major part of corridor 19 is through black cotton soils suitable for growing wheat,

tobacco, pulses, oil seeds and sugar cane.

The project road links 67A, M7D, T8, 63C, M7A, M7B and T21 requires some forest land diversion.

None of the project roads pass through the protected areas such as National Parks and Wildlife

Sanctuaries. Details of EPC and Annuity project roads along with distance from nearest notified

protected area are presented in Table E-1.

The project roads run mainly through cultivable land growing verities of crops connecting many

human habitations such as villages and towns. Public institutions like schools, hospitals, banks,

religious, community and commercial structures are located along the road side which facilitates the

general public with good service. Some of the major urban settlements with commercial activities

along the proposed project corridors are Hosakote, Hanagal, Haveri, Dharwad, Saundatti, Devadurga,

Gulbarga, Malavalli, Maddur, Kunigal, Tumkur, Madhugiri, Mudhol, Chikkodi, Shimoga, Shikaripura

and Talikota. The basic features of demography along the study corridors have been studied

and indicated in the report. The figures of 2001 census of population have been used.

E.7 Stakeholder Consultation:

Consultations during pre-feasibility, feasibility and environmental assessment stage have been

conducted with the objective of involving local communities in the project planning (participatory

planning). The follow up consultations have been held at project roads as a part of disclosure to

highlight the salient features of the project. The stakeholders of the project included affected

communities (within the corridor of impact) and other institutional stakeholders. The details of public

consultations are presented in the Table E-10.

During the consultations, specific suggestions, issues, and concerns were sought from the local

communities and stakeholders. Some of the issues discussed during consultation process are provision

for parking areas; public comfort station; bus bays; bypasses and realignments; drainage; road user

safety; road side (avenue) tree planting; solid noise barriers to alleviate noise generated from the

traffic near schools and hospitals; provision of foot paths; speed breakers; sign boards; crash

barriers/parapet; dust control measures; proper compensation paid to the PAPs; availability of water

for construction; minimizing tree cutting; compensatory tree plantation and conservation of natural

water sources, etc.

E.8 Analysis of Alternatives:

The objective of this section is to highlight some of the salient issues considered for exercising

options such as “project with alternative”, “project with mitigations” and “no project scenario”. The

alignment alternatives of constituent road links were selected after finalization of these alternatives.

An analysis of various alternatives is attempted to arrive at the technically and

environmentally best-fit alternative. Alternatives in terms of realignments, bypasses, different

cross-section types have been considered to avoid the places of congestion and human settlements,

significant old trees, religious and community assets and environmentally sensitive areas (forest lands,

erosion prone areas, flood regions, etc). KSHIP is an upgradation project of existing State Highways.

No new alignments are being proposed except realignments and bypasses to improve the road

geometrics and avoid congested human settlements. Hence, the scope for project alternatives in terms

of alignment alternatives is limited. There are no bypasses proposed along the EPC project roads.

Similarly alternative route analyses for annuity links were carried. Based on this analysis, three major

shifts in alignments at Huliyardurga (63B), Koratgere (63E) and Madhugiri (64F) have been

proposed.

E.9 Potential Environmental Impacts and Mitigation measures:

Some of the significant environmental impacts of proposed road projects on the natural environment

and nearby communities are discussed in the section. The identified impacts could be largely

mitigated through engineering designs, good construction practices accompanied by a site specific

mitigation measures. Largely these mitigation measures have been made part of civil works contract.

Other mitigation/enhancement measures such construction of solid and vegetative noise barriers

across sensitive receptors and compensatory avenue tree plantation have been suggested for

implementation separately by KSHIP and involving other governmental agencies.

No significant change in the macro-climatic parameters (precipitation, temperature and wind) is

envisaged due to the project but cutting of roadside trees, laying of paved surface and other

construction activities temporarily modify the microclimate. Avenue plantations shall be taken up

under the compensatory plantation programme on either side of the road to counter the indicated

impacts on the physical environment.

There would be an increase in daytime temperature near the newly paved surfaces of the road due to

increase in the surface area of blacktop of widened road. This impact shall be mitigated by planting

rows of avenue plantations.

Surface runoff may be increased due to increase in the paved surface of the project roads overloading

the existing drainage facilities seldom causing floods at low lying areas. Raising of embankment

height and improvement of both longitudinal and cross drainage shall be done to avoid flooding of

flood prone section. Run off water recharge pits shall be constructed to facilitate the infiltration of

runoff water into the ground.




19

Air quality along the project road alignment, major settlement locations like Hosakote (WEP 1),

Hanagal and Haveri (WEP 2), Dharwad and Saundatti (WEP 3), Devadurga (WEP 4) and Gulbarga

(WEP 5), Malavalli, Maddur, Kunigal, Tumkur and Madhugiri (WAP 1), Mudhol and Chikkodi

(WAP 2), Shimoga and Shikaripura (WAP 3) Talikota (WAP 4) and at construction establishments

(batching plants, hot mix plants, crushers, etc) will be impacted temporarily during construction

activities. To counter the impact on the air quality in the project area asphalt plants, crushers and

batching plants shall be sited at least 1 km in the downwind direction from the nearest human

settlement. Vehicles delivering loose and fine materials like sand and fine aggregates shall be covered

with tarpaulin covers to reduce spills on existing roads. Water shall be sprayed on earthworks,

temporary haulage and detour roads on a regular basis. The hot mix plants will be installed with dust

extraction units and cyclones/scrubbers to reduce exhaust gases.

There will be gradual enhancement of air pollution due to increase in number of vehicles on the

improved roads. Avenue and median plantation along the road sides and medians respectively should

help to control dust and fugitive emissions by operating vehicles from reaching the receptors.

The noise impact due to the project will be of significance both during construction as well as

operation stages. The community abutting project road and construction establishments will be

adversely affected by increase in noise level due to operating equipments and construction activities

of project road. Mitigation measures such as use of enclosures, walls, installation of mufflers around

noisy equipment; substituting quieter equipment or construction methods; timing of noisier

construction and demolition activities; providing Personnel Protective Equipments (PPE) to the

workers; locating construction establishments away from sensitive receptors; construction of noise

barriers at sensitive receptors; etc shall be taken up to reduce the impact of noise.

Soil compaction and contamination is envisaged at construction camps, labour camps, concrete

batching plants, hot mix plants, borrow areas, quarries and along access roads to these construction

establishments. Soil erosion is anticipated at bridge and culvert construction sites. As part of

mitigation measures top soil shall be preserved and back filled after the rehabilitation of

quarry/burrow areas Natural geographical contours and natural landscape shall be preserved and

maintained. If haulage roads are inevitable on productive agricultural land, it shall be reclaimed to the

original nature after the completion of construction activity. All construction establishments such as

construction camps, labour camps, and material storage areas shall be rehabilitated to the original

condition after the completion of construction work.

The major land use in the project area is agriculture and some stretches of the project constitutes built

up areas /settlements having active commercial and economic activity along the roadside. Agricultural

and commercial activities will be disturbed temporarily during construction phase.

Domestic solid waste from construction and labour camps shall be segregated into biodegradable and

non biodegradable before being sent to treatment. Biodegradable wastes are treated by composting

and non biodegradable wastes are either recycled or disposed off to an authorised land fill site.

Untreated waste water from construction camps and labour camps will pollute the surface water

bodies. Liquid wastes generated from the construction camps and labour camps shall be treated to the

prescribed norms before disposal.

There are two tributaries of minor river Tupari (flowing across 21B); two tributaries of major river

Krishna (flowing across 13B) and rivers Dharma and Varada (flowing across M7D & T8 respectively)

are in the impact zone and river Krishna (near 13A road link) is in the influence zone EPC corridors.

There are two minor rivers Varada, Dharma (M7C) and river Dona (10A) in the Impact zone. There

are no major rivers except few canals and other streams in the influence zone of Annuity corridors.




20

These streams might be temporarily impacted during construction of road embankments, cross

drainage structures and cut and fill activities, by temporary increase in the silt inflow. These impacts

shall be mitigated by constructing cross drainage structures during the lean flow periods of summer;

provision for silt traps at regular intervals, especially at major cross drainage structures to trap the silt

before it reaches the water bodies. Some of the water supply units adjacent to project road within

proposed ROW will be impacted. Water supply resources such as bore wells, taps, water cisterns,

pipelines, etc. being impacted shall be relocated before the construction starts.

Total of 39,607 (EPC - 17,311 and Annuity – 22,296) trees are impacted due to the project and

aproximately 1,66,502 (EPC - 53,718 and Annuity - 1,12,784) avenue trees shall be planted on both

sides of the project roads.

A variety of utilities serving the regional needs like electric poles, electric transformers, telephone

poles, telephone junction boxes which are within impact zone shall be impacted. Some of the religious

structures (such as temples, mosque, church, shrines, arali kattes) and community structures (such as

schools, hospitals, bus shelters, etc.) by the sides of the project roads are impacted directly or

indirectly. Mitigation measures include shifting of all utilities and relocation of religious and

community structures in consultation with the public before the start of construction.

There are several locally important cultural properties – religious as well as community structures that

may be impacted by the project. The project includes adequate measures to ensure that the impacts on

these are managed properly. Chance-find procedures are also included in the contracts to handle any

such situations.

Road project requires materials such as aggregate stone metal, murrum and sand for the construction.

Procuring these materials from stone quarries, borrow pits and sand quarries leaves scars on the land,

increase the soil erosion and leads to loss of productive soil. These impacts shall be mitigated by

suitably rehabilitating the quarries, murrum borrow pits after the extraction of required material is

complete. Quarries shall be opened only after obtaining all the required statutory clearances from the

respective authorities. Borrow area management plan shall be prepared to rehabilitate the borrow pits.

The topsoil in the borrow area shall be stored separately and used to cover the area after rehabilitation.

Sourcing of the sand shall be made from leased sand mines only.

Major or minor accidents are envisaged during construction of roads by lack of knowledge on

handling of new equipments, workers functioning without proper personal protective equipment.

Injuries get worsen if first aid facilities are not there at construction sites. Injuries and accidents to

workers at construction shall be avoided by providing required training on using the equipments and

provision of personal protective equipments along with first aid facilities at construction sites.

Periodical health check-ups shall be arranged for the workers to ensure good health. Preparation and

implementation of road safety plans during project implementation is an important mitigation

measure. Labour camps shall not be located within 1000m of major habitations to avoid outbreak of

communicable diseases. Arrangement for storage and supply of potable water shall be made to the

workers.

It is usual that nearby public and commuting transportation will suffer from inconveniences,

additional time, cost and distance during construction period. Contractor shall prepare Traffic

Management Plan to ensure least interference to the free flow of traffic and local public.

On the positive aspect, the proposed road project will improve the connectivity between urban centers

and nearby rural areas and economic and social wellbeing of rural communities by improved access to




21

markets, jobs, education canters and health care services. Tourism in the project area will boost the

local economic activities. Good roads also reduce travel time, fuel consumption and pollutants emitted

by the operating vehicles.

Significant negative and positive impacts due to project are summarized in the following impact

Construction of solid noise barriers

Construction of solid noise barriers for identified sensitive noise receptors for road links

under all EPC and Annuity contract packages is in progress – procured under local shopping

procedures (Figure E-2). These noise barriers serve as the mitigation measure for the

anticipated increase in ambient noise and the transmission of dust towards the sensitive

receptor, not only for the operation phase but also during construction phase of the project.

* Include estimate for land losers and actual for structure losers.

KPWD, GOK has decided to acquire the land under the Karnataka Highways Act, 1964. The GOK

has already initiated the process of establishing the Negotiation Committee to negotiate the price of

land with the beneficiaries on the basis of guidance value for the land.

Some of the entitlements include payment of compensation through negotiation according to the

KHA; additional assistance for those becoming marginal farmers; eligibility of bagar hukum land

losers; grant for replacement of cattle shed; alternative house or developed plot including construction

cost for those losing house; additional 25% compensation for partially affected structures towards

reconstruction; income generating assets up to Rs.75,000 for those losing commercial structures;

rental allowance for tenants; non-titleholders to get alternate house or developed plot + construction

cost, for commercial structures alternate shop or income generating asset; employees losing livelihood

will be given a one time payment; vulnerable groups including physically challenged and those above

60 years will be given a lump sum amount as assistance; and all community assets will be replaced

and reconstructed.

The RAP will be implemented by Karnataka PWD-PIU Social Development Resettlement Cell with

the support of NGOs. The Special DC, LA will be responsible for land acquisition activities and the

Chief Administrative Officer will be responsible for all resettlement and rehabilitation works. A

grievance redressal cell will be constituted for registering and addressing complaints including appeal

mechanisms. The RAP provides the implementation schedule which is linked to the commencement

of civil works. The RAP will be implemented over a period of 3 years starting from the date of

E.11 Environmental Management Plan:

Environmental Management Plan (EMP) deals with the implementation procedure of the guidelines

and mitigation measures recommended to avoid, minimize and mitigate foreseen environmental

impacts of the project. The implementation of environmental management plan needs a suitable

organization set up and the success of any environmental management plan depends on the efficiency

of the group responsible for implementation of the programme. It is proposed to carryout regular

environmental monitoring to provide information to the management for periodic review and

alternation of the environmental management plan as necessary so as to ensure that environmental

protection is optimized at all stages of the project implementation. Link wise Environmental

Management Plans have been prepared for both EPC and annuity links. For annuity links,

Concessionaire will prepare EMPs incorporating the proposed design changes and corresponding

environmental management and mitigation measures for the identified impacts.

Environmental monitoring is an essential component for sustainability of any developmental project.

It is an integral part of any environmental assessment process. The monitoring programme consists of

performance indicators, reporting formats and necessary budgetary provision. For each of the

environmental condition indicators, the monitoring plan specifies the parameters to be monitored,

location of the monitoring sites, frequency and duration of monitoring. The monitoring plan also

specifies the applicable standards, implementation and supervising responsibilities. The monitoring

will be carried out by PIU through the approved agency and will be supervised by the Environmental

Experts of the Construction Supervision Consultants and PIU.

Environmental Management Plan Implementation Unit (EMPIU) established under KSHIP I has been

continued for KSHIP II. This EMPIU with the assistance of the Environmental Specialist of Project

Design and Environmental Officer (EO) of the CSC (for EPC) and Independent Engineer (for

annuity) will be responsible for implementing all environmental monitoring and management works

and ensure that all statutory requirements are met during the project implementation. Organizational

setup for PIU and EMPIU is illustrated in the Figure E.2.

The engineering staff of PIU, Construction Supervision Consultancy (for the EPC contracts),

Independent Engineer (for the Annuity concessions) and the contractor/concessionaire who would be

responsible for the implementation of the EMP, need to be trained on environmental issues of specific

road development project. Looking into the potential requirements of each of the target groups,

several training modules have been planned. The training would cover the basic principles and

postulates of environmental assessment and mitigation plans; implementation techniques; monitoring

and management methods and tools.

The budgetary provision for the implementing EMP of the road project has been made in 2 parts

based on responsibility for the execution.

The Part „A‟ works to be undertaken has been quantified and quantities included in the respective

BOQ items in the civil works contract packages. These cover items such as safe disposal of

unserviceable materials with suitable top soil treatment; dust mitigation during construction phase;

recharge pits; silt fencing; sign boards for tourist and ecologically sensitive areas if any; safe disposal

of scarified bitumen in clay lined pits; construction of noise barriers for silent receptors; monitoring of

air, water, noise and soil characteristics; provision of oil interceptors; provision of personal protective

equipments for labourers; provision for two health checkup; utilisation of unserviceable material and

enhancement of roadside water bodies.

Part „B‟ works of redevelopment of oxbow lands and other leftover lands; raising median plantations;

compensatory plantation; compensatory provisions in terms of Net Present Value (NPV) for diverted

forest lands, if any; providing environmental management training at all levels are discussed under

mandatory works to be implemented by Government Departments or other agencies as per the

regulatory requirements.

In addition to the above, water bodies (max. of one per link) along the project roads both under EPC

and EPA will be developed.

Cost for Part A & B works of EMP implementation are estimated and given in the Table E-17.

E.12 EMP Implementation

Details of various mitigation measures to be implemented during Pre-construction,

construction and operational phases for a general EPC are presented in the EMAP Table E-

E.12 Conclusion:

The up-gradation of existing State Highways, involves less significant environmental impacts and

most of these adverse impacts of road project are temporary and local in nature. Most of these impacts

can be minimized through engineering solutions incorporated into the project design and by

implementing adequate and timely mitigation measures as included in the Environmental

Management Plan. Therefore the overall findings of the EIA are that the proposed improvement to

above mentioned roads are unlikely to cause significant adverse environmental impacts.

Further, Environmental Impact Assessment and Environmental Management Plans for EPC and

Annuity projects are being reviewed by independent reviewer as a part of World Bank‟s requirement.

The review for EPC contract packages is about to be completed and for Annuity packages the review

is in progress. The comments from the independent reviewer will be addressed and incorporated in the

respective reports.
