I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

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) shall be the Implementing Agency and the State Urban

Development and Housing Department (UDHD) shall be the executing agency for the

Project.

2. The Program envisages to deliver:

(i) Continuous, pressurized, safe and sustainable drinking water through private

household metered connections in 64 tier II towns in the State; (ii) Sewage and storm water collection and treatment system in ten identified

towns, Khajuraho, Rajnagar, Barwaha, Dhamnod, Sanchi, Jabalpur, Maihar Anjad, Saikheda and Sanawad; and

(iii) Non-physical investments comprising of establishing GIS system, capacity building of participating urban local bodies in contract management, Improving local operators ’capability through global partnership and building capacity of the implementing agency, urban local bodies and services utilities for ensuring long term sustainability of services.

3. Anjad is located in the district of Barwani in the south-western part of Madhya Pradesh

state. Anjad is a small and class III town which was established as Nagar Panchayat on

1908. Presently the town has a population of about 26492 (census 2011 provisional figure)

which is divided into 15 wards. Nagar Parishad is situated along the main road connecting

Anjad with SH-26. The town is situated 17 km. from Barwani. Provision of sewerage

system in Anjad is one of the subprojects proposed under MPUSIP. At present, there is no

sewerage system in Anjad; about 52.77% of residents use septic tanks or soak pit for

sewage disposal, and rest of the houses dispose the wastewater directly into roadside

open drains. Most of the houses do not have in-built toilets.

4. The Subproject. The objective of this subproject is to develop sewerage management

services to the residents in Anjad Nagar Parishad (ANP). The subproject envisages

providing 100% coverage of population with sewage collection network and treatment

services, and includes civil works, project implementation and management, and non-

physical investments. The physical investment includes the following: (i) 23 km of sewer

network of diameter 100 mm to 400 mm (ii) manholes - 774 No.s (iii) Sewage Treatment

Plant (STP) of 3.66 million liters per day (MLD) capacity (iv) sewage pumping stations – 02

Nos – (a) intermediate pumping station (IPS) of 0.58 MLD capacity in Zone 1, and (b) Main

pumping station(MPS) in Zone 2 of capacity 3.66 MLD; (v) sewage main pipelines – (a)

pumping main of length 340 m and 100 mm diameter from IPS to MPS, (b) pumping main

of 2000 m length and 300 mm diameter from MPS to STP, (v) house sewer connections –

5,560 Nos, and, (vi). Outfall Sewer from STP to nearby available natura drain- 580 m

length of 400mm diameter Pipe. This subproject package is proposed for implementation

under a single Design-Build-Operate (DBO) contract package.

5. Implementation Arrangements: Urban Development and Housing Department (UDHD)


11

of Government of Madhya Pradesh is the Executing Agency. Implementing Agency is the

Madhya Pradesh Urban Development Company (MPUDC), A central Project Management

Unit (PMU) attached to MPUDC is responsible for implementing the MPUSIP. The PMU

supported by Program Implementation Units (PIUs). A Program Management Consultant

(PMC) centrally located in PMU and with field teams in PIUs, supports PMU and PIUs in

implementation. 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 is responsible for

environment safeguards tasks, and supported by Environment Specialist of PMC Team.

Contractor personnel will include an Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) supervisor.

6. 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 Sewerage. Then potential negative

impacts were identified in relation to pre-construction, construction and operation of the

improved infrastructure.

7. Categorization: Based on results of the assessment and ADB SPS, the subproject is

classified as environmental Category B, i.e., the subproject is judged to be unlikely to have

significant adverse environmental impacts. An initial environmental examination (IEE) is

required to determine whether significant environmental impacts warranting an

environmental impact assessment are likely.

8. This IEE aims to (i) provide critical facts, significant finding, and recommended

actions; (ii) present the national and local legal and institutional framework within which the

environmental assessment has been carried out; (iii) provide information on existing

geographic, ecological, social and temporal context including associated facilities within

the subproject’s area of influence; (iv) assess the subproject’s likely positive and negative

direct and indirect impacts to physical, biological, socioeconomic, and physical cultural

resources in the subproject’s area of influence; (v) identify mitigation measures and

any residual negative impacts that cannot be mitigated; (vi) describe the process

undertaken during project design to engage stakeholders and the planned information

disclosure measures and the process for carrying out consultation with affected people

and facilitating their participation during project implementation; (vii) describe the

subproject’s grievance redress mechanism for resolving complaints about environmental

performance; (viii) present the set of mitigation measures to be undertaken to avoid,

reduce, mitigate, or compensate for adverse environmental impacts; (ix) to describe the

monitoring measures and reporting procedures to ensure early detection of conditions that

necessitate particular mitigation measures; and (x) identify indicative costs and who is

responsible for carrying out the mitigation and monitoring measures.

9. Description of the Environment: The subproject components locations are in Anjad

town. The proposed STP and sewage pumping stations are located within the limit of

Municipal boundary of the town. The immediate surroundings were converted into urban

use for many years ago, and there is no natural habitat left at the subproject sites. There


12

are no protected areas, forests and archaeological sites in the Anjad town. Nearest

protected area is Ralamandal Sanctuary, about 140 km from the Anjad town. Mandu,

located at about 85 km from Anjad, is an important historical and architectural town in MP,

and it is a world heritage site listed by GoI. There are several ASI monuments,

archaeological site like Rani Roopmati Mahal, Jahaz Mahal, Jama Masjid etc. All the

locations of the STP, IPS and MPS are government-owned vacant and barren lands with

no notable tree cover. No tree cutting will be required as the trees are on the periphery of

the site, which will not be removed for IPS, MPS and STP construction. Proposed IPS site

is located near Susad Mohalla in between ward No. 5 and 6, and on the bank of Susad

river, at least 50m away from habitation and surrounded by agricultural land, Susad River

and residential area. A temple, government middle school and community hall is located at

about 50 m from the proposed site of IPS, and site is on the back side of the built up area.

Proposed MPS site is located near Army hotel (It is a food restaurant) on the bank of

Bhongli nala along the main road when moves towards Chota Bardha village about 50m

away from habitation on the outskirts of town Anjad. Anjad town is in between the

Narmada River and proposed STP site. The site selected for STP is located on the

outskirts of Anjad town atleast 500m away from habitation. Site is surrounded by

agricultural lands; some brick kiln works is going on within 200-500 from STP site. Final

discharge point of treated sewage from STP is nearby natura drain at a distance 580m

from prposed STP site, which joins Bhongli Nala after travelling a distance of approx. 1.60

km and then final disposal into Narmada about 15 km from the site. There is water intake

for Anjad town on upstream side, about 11 km away from treated effluent discharge point

on Narmada river. There are no forests in or near project sites. Construction activities will

be confined to the identified sites. The soil in the project area generally falls under the

broad group of deep alluvial soils. The project area is surrounded by agricultural areas and

no industries are found. The ground water availability in these areas comes under Safe

Zone as per Central Ground Water Board report.

10. Potential Environmental Impacts. The subproject is unlikely to cause significant adverse

impacts because: (i) the components will involve straightforward construction and

operation, so impacts will be mainly localized; (ii) there are no significant sensitive

environmental features in the project sites and (iii) predicted impacts are site-specific and

likely to be associated with the construction process and are produced because the

process is invasive, involving excavation and earth movements. Sewerage system

performs a crucial function of safely collecting, transporting, treating and disposing

domestic wastewater, including, human excreta. Subproject is likely to have numerous

positive impacts on the environment and public health. 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. Locations and siting of the proposed infrastructures were

considered to further reduce impacts. These include (i) locating sewage pumping stations

and STP away from the inhabited areas, (ii) locating facilities on government-owned land

to avoid the need for land acquisition and relocation of people; and (iii) laying of sewer

pipes in RoW alongside main/access roads, to reduce acquisition of land and impacts on

livelihoods specifically in densely populated areas of the town.

11. Sewage pumping stations, which collect sewage to further pump to a higher elevation


13

manhole, are likely to generate odour. Utmost care is taken to locate these away from the

houses, and also included various design and operaion measures to minimize the odour

generation. Site selected for IPS is located on the bank of Susad River near Susad

Mohalla. Although, a temple, government middle school and community hall is reported in

the proximity of Susad Mohalla but proposed site of IPS is away from these receptors. It is

about 50m away and as well as back side of the built up area. As mentioned ealier that

proposed site is located on bank of the river and agricultural fields are reported in and

around the site. As per the land records there is large piece of land in the proposed Khasra

but during site visit, it was found that a large built up area along with temple and school

has been developed but away from river side. It is pertinent to mention here that

requiredland for IPS is available which is reported vacant in state. Proposed MPS site is

located near Army hotel (a food restaurant) on the bank of Bhongli nala along the main

road when moves towards Chota Bardha village at least 50m away from habitation. There

is no notable development within 50m of MPS site boundary. It is proposed developed 20-

30 m buffer around the IPS/MPS within the proposed site boundary, so the buffer between

MPS/IPS and temple/school and residential area will be about 70-80 m. Providing proper

boundary for the site, especially high compound wall towards temple and school. Layout

plan of IPS & MPS shall be devised in such a way that it will be farthest from habitation,

temple & school with low odour and low noise, so there are no impacts envisaged. Another

impact is that of STP operation: from malfunction or decrease in treatment efficiency and

sludge handling and disposal. This will result in release of untreated or partially treated

wastewater that will pollute environment and cause public health issues. Accumulation of

silt in sewers in areas of low over time, overflows, blockages, power outages, harmful

working conditions for the workers cleaning sewers etc. may create nuisance, unhealthy

and hazardous conditions. Various measures are suggested to minimize these impacts.

12. The site selected for STP is located on the outskirts of Anjad town atleast 500m away from

habitation. Site is located on higher elevation/upstream side of Bhongli Nala. It is because

of non-availability of goverment land on the downstream side. Efforts have been made to

conceptualize scheme along slop, but high fertile agricultural fields are reported towards

slope side. These agricultural fields are private lands. No government land is reported

towards slope or Narmada river side. Site is surrounded by agricultural lands, and there

are no notable developments within 500 m of the site boundary. All the development is

away from 500-700 meters from its premises. Some brick kiln works is going on within 200-

500 from STP site by local people. It is proposed developed 20-30 m buffer around the

plant with in the STP boundary, so the buffer between STP components and habitation

area act as a barrier for noise & air pollution to residents from bad odor & insect nuisance

due to operation of STP. This will act as a visual screen around the STP and surrounding

area and will improve the aesthetic appearance of the surrounding environment and given

the proposed SBR technology with low odour and low noise, there are no impacts

envisaged and the treated effluent will be discharged into nearby natural drain already

available at a distance 580m from proposed STP site, which joins Bhongli Nala after

travelling a distance of approx. 1.60 km and then final disposal into Narmada about 13.4

km from the Bhongli Nala. There is water intake for Anjad town on upstream side near

Dattwada village on Narmada river. STP discharge point into Narmada is in the

downstream about 11 km away from intake, so there will be no impact on intake due to

STP discharge. As the River Narmada is perennial river and flow in the river is adequate to


14

dilute the discharge. There are no water intakes / dams in the downstream river course

upto 5-10 km stretch.

13. During the construction phase, impacts mainly arise from the need to excavate large areas

which can result to increase in dust and noise levels, disturbance to residents and

businesses along the delivery routes, and traffic and the need to dispose moderate

quantities of waste soil during construction phase.

14. Environmental Management Plan (EMP). An EMP has been developed to provide

mitigation measures to reduce all negative impacts to acceptable levels. The EMP

includes design measures such as (i) design of treatment process to meet discharge

parameters more stringent than discharge stadnards of MoEFCC (ii) sludge management,

(iii) planning and design measures to control odour from SPS, (iv) green buffer zones

around SPS and STP, (v) alternative power suppy (back-up) arrangements for

uninturrupted working of SPS and STP. During construction, the EMP includes mitigation

measures such as (i) implementation of traffic management plan in coordination with local

traffic police to minimize traffic impacts; (ii) awareness campaigns and consultations to

inform residents and businesses of potential disturbances; (iii) provision of walkways and

planks over trenches to ensure access will not be impeded; (iv) appropriate scheduling of

works to avoid peak tourist season in important places; (v) use of noise-dampening

measures in areas with sensitive receptors such as hospitals, schools, places of worships

and other silence-zones; (vi) use of dust-suppression methods such as watering and/or

covering of stockpiles; and (vii) finding beneficial use of excavated materials to extent

possible to reduce the quantity that will be disposed off. As for the O and 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 and M phase.

15. The EMP will guide the environmentally-sound construction of the subproject and ensure

efficient lines of communication between MPUDC, PMU, PIU, consultants and contractors.

The EMP will (i) ensure that the activities are undertaken in a responsible non-detrimental

manner; (i) provide a pro-active, feasible and practical working tool to enable the

measurement and monitoring of environmental performance on site; (ii) guide and control

the implementation of findings and recommendations of the environmental assessment

conducted for the subproject; (iii) detail specific actions deemed necessary to assist in

mitigating the environmental impact of the subproject; and (iv) ensure that safety

recommendations are complied with. The EMP includes a monitoring program to measure

the environmental condition and effectiveness of implementation of the mitigation

measures. It will include observations on- and off-site, document checks, and interviews

with workers and beneficiaries.

16. The contractor will be required to submit to PMU, for review and approval, a site

environmental plan (SEP) including (i) proposed sites/locations for construction work

camps, storage areas, hauling roads, lay down areas, disposal areas for solid and

hazardous wastes; (ii) Specific mitigation measures following the approved EMP; (iii)

monitoring program as per SEP; and (iv) budget for SEP implementation. No works are

allowed to commence prior to approval of SEP.


15

17. 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.

18. Consultation, Disclosure and Grievance Redress Mechanism: Consultations have

been conducted with different types of stackeholders at various levels i.e. at town level

with CMO & elected representatives and people were consulted at several places in the

town including at STP and pumping stations (IPS & MPS) sites (Refer Appendix 13). 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.

19. Monitoring and Reporting: Mitigation will be assured by a program of environmental

monitoring to be conducted during construction and operation stages. The environmental

monitoring program will ensure that all measures are implemented, and will determine

whether the environment is protected as intended. It will include observations on- and off-

site, document checks, and interviews with workers and beneficiaries. Any requirements

for remedial action will be reported to the PMU. The PIU, PMDC and PMU will be

responsible for monitoring. The PMDC will submit quarterly and semi-annual monitoring

reports to PMU, and the PMU will review and send the semi-annual monitoring reports to

ADB. ADB will post the environmental monitoring reports on its website.

20. The citizens of the Anjad Nagar Parishad will be the main beneficiaries of the sewerage

scheme, as they will be provided with sewerage system to collect, covnvey, treat and

dispose the sewage safely. This will improve the over-all health condition of the town as

water borne diseases will be reduced, so people should spend less on healthcare and lose

fewer working days due to illness, so their economic status should also improve, as well as

their overall health. This should also improve the environment of these areas, should

deliver major improvements in individual and community health and well- being.

21. Conclusions and Recommendations: The 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). Project will require

following government permission/approvals: (i) consent for establishment and consent for

operation for STP from Madhya Pradesh Pollution Control Board. These


16

permissions/approvals shall be obtained. 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.

II. 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) shall be the Implementing Agency and the State Urban Development and Environment Department (UDED) shall be the executing agency for the Project.A project management unit (PMU) created under MPUDC is implementing MPUSIP.

2. MPUSIP’s physical components include (a) improvements to water in 62 project towns, and (b) sewage and storm water collection and treatment services proposed in seven (7) identified towns namely Sanchi, Maihar, Saikheda, Sanawad, Anjad, Badwah and Dhamnod under tranche II. The project also includes an institutional strengthening component and a project management and administrative support component.:

3. At present there is no sewerage system for collection, conveyance, treatment and safe disposal of sewage in Anjad Town. The households are having septic tanks and overflow of septic tank and household waste water is being directly discharged into storm water drains without treatment. This leads to deterioration of environment and health hazards. It causes lot of unhealthy conditions to the people in general and hence it is essential to provide underground drainage scheme for the town.

4. The water supply improvement project is under process of sanction in Anjad town and

water supply rate per capita is 135 lpcd in the water supply project and therefore there is

immediate need for sewerage system for collection, conveyance and treatment of sewage.

5. Hence there is need of the project to improve service levels in sewerage system in Anjad

Nagar Parishad conforming to National Service Level Benchmarks.

6. The Government has appointed the consultant for preparation of underground drainage

scheme of the Town. Consultant has deployed team as part of the Program development.

The Consultant team conducted series of investigations and developed this conceptual

plan for improving the sewerage in Anjad town.

7. The subproject town of Anjad area is located in the district of Barwani in the south-western

part Madhya Pradesh state. Providing sewerage system in Anjad is one of the subprojects

proposed under MPUSIP. The objective of this subproject is to develop sewerage

management services to the residents in Anjad Nagar Parishad (ANP) conforming to

National Service Level Benchmarks in sewerage services. The subproject envisages

providing 100% coverage of population with sewage collection network and treatment

services. A detailed description of the components is provided in Section III. This

subproject package is proposed for implementation under a single Design-Build-Operate

(DBO) contract package.

B. Purpose of this IEE Report

8. 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

Sewage and Sanitation (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 requirements for environment category B projects.

9. This IEE is based on the detailed engineering report prepared by the PMC 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.

C. Report Structure

10. This Report contains thefollowing nine (9) sections:

(i) Executive summary; (ii) Introduction (iii) Description of the project (iv) Policy, legal and administrative framework (v) Descriptionof the environment; (vi) Anticipated environmental impacts and mitigation measures; (vii) Public consultation and information disclosure; (viii) Grievance redress mechanism; (ix) Environmental managementplan, and, (x) Conclusion and recommendation.

III. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT

A. Project Area

11. Subproject town Anjad is located in Barwani district in the south-western part of Madhya

Pradesh. Anjad is a small and class III town which was established as Nagar Panchayat

on 1908. The Municipal area of the town is approximately 15.54 Sq. Km. Presently city

holds the population of 26492 as per the 2011population census data and it has 15 wards.

Project area is situated at about 318 km south-west of state capital Bhopal and is

connected with highways, railways and airport. Following is the map showing ward

boundaries of all 15 wards.

Figure 2: Location of Anjad Town in MP


19

12. The subproject components locations are in Anjad town. The proposed sewage treatment

plant (STP) and sewage pumping sations will be located within the municipal boundary of

the town. The immediate surroundings were converted into urban use for many years ago,

and there is no natural habitat left at the subproject sites. All the locations of the STP and

SPS are government-owned barren land with no notable tree cover.

B. Existing Water Supply, Sewerage and Storm Water DrainageSystem

13. Existing water Supply System: It shall be ensured that the existing water supply or under

execution, has the potential to meet the water demand of the projected design population

at the rate of 135 LPCD specified. ULB is committed to ensure desired water supply rate of

135 LPCD in all sewerage districts/all municipal wards of Anjad town. The town of Anjad

gets raw water supply from Narmada River which is about 5 km from the city. Town

receives water from both surface and ground water. Around 1.2 MLD per day water

receives from river Narmada. In ground source, for supplying drinking water in the town

there are 6 tube wells and 10 Hand pumps which are located in the various parts of the

town. From ground sources, 0.3MLD water is being supplied. There are 330 Stand posts in

the town. The distribution network is having length of 16.81 km approx. This covers about

53%HHs of the town. Water is distributed for 45 min. every alternate day in the town.

Distribution and transmission losses currently amount to 10% of supply. Direct Pumping is

being done at Dattwada in River Narmada. It is around 7 kms away from the town. There

are three Over-Head Tanks with a total installed storage capacity of 17 (Lac Liter) in the

town. There is one treatment plant is at Dattwada. It is around 7 kms away from the town.

Only primary treatment facility is available. Water Quality monitoring is done to check

turbidity and pH levels. Existing situation of water supply on map is shown below.

14. Proposals for Augmentation of Water Supply System: Anjad municipal council has

prepared water supply augmentation scheme to augment existing water supply. The same

is executed and new water supply scheme has been commissioned at the end of

December 2017. After implementation of the scheme the rate of supply has been

enhanced from existing 51 LPCD to 135 LPCD. The details of the proposed components of

new water supply scheme are as follows: -

15. Existing Sewerage and Drainage System: The town does not have underground

sewerage system. The existing condition of sewerage and storm water drainage system is

in very bad shape. There are two rivers passing from the town, one passing from centre of

the town namely Bhongli or Bhagwat river (Initially Bongli Nala was the Bhagwati river or

Bhongli river, later due to the encroachment and pollution it got converted into the Bhongli

Nala) and another major river which is passing from western side of the town namely

Susad river. As mentioned above Bhongli Nala & Susad River (it also got converted into

main drain) these are two major drain in the town. Bhongli Nala passes from centre of the

town and flows from ward no. 5, 6, 14 and 15, carries about 70% of city’s storm water and drainage out of the town. The road has been built along the both sides of the Nala by the

nagar parishad and the Nala has been almost pakka. The sewerage from the houses is

directly dumped into the Bhongli Nala through the pipes. The weekly market is operated

from the roads which are constructed along the Nala, the waste of the weekly market is

also dumped in the Nala and in many places the solid waste is collected along the nala by

the workers of nagar parishad. The other major drain is Susad River passes from western

side of town and flows from ward no. 5, 6 and 7, the drainage of slums are directly meet to

the Susad river. and finally meets Narmada river in northerns side after travelling a

distance of about 10 km from anjad town. Thre is no separate network for sewerage, both

sewerage and storm water passess through the same drains. As such whole sewage and

storm water of the area is flows through the road side drains and discharged to Bhongli

nallahs and Susad River and then ultimately to the river Narmada. At about 3.62 km

distance Susad and Bhongli river are confluence and after that they fall into the Narmada

River at a distance of 6 km.

16. There is no any waste water treatment system exists in the town. Anjad has an onsite

sewage disposal (OSD) disposal system. The waste water is usually being disposed of

through septic tanks and soak pits. There is no provision of waste water or sludge

treatment system for the town. Grey water/sullage is disposed off into the open field or

road side drains in front of the house. These drains then dispose the sullage into the

nearby nallahs at various locations in the town without any treatment. Also there is no


23

separate sewerage and storm water network in the town. Drains are used to dispose off

effluents from septic tanks and pit latrines.

17. In some cases, direct raw sewage is also being let out in open drains. The overflow of

septic tanks together with the grey water is disposed of in open drains and subsequently

into open areas/nalla. Also being uncovered, they always get clogged due to mixing of

garbage and polythenes or plastic waste littering around. The untreated effluent over

flowing from soak pits and draining into the town’s drainage system pollute surface and ground water source considerably apart from emanating foul smell into the atmosphere.

Since most of the drains/nalla are open and easily accessible, especially in the slum area,

there is large scale indiscriminate dumping of organic wastes in the nallah. Finally, in the

form of nallas the sewage is discharges into Narmada River. There is no organized

sewerage system in existence and hence utilization of existing sewerage system does not

arise.

Table 3: Existing Status of Wastewater Management

Sewerage system Anjad lacks in proper underground sewerage system for conveyance of household wastewater.

Sewerage Districts At present municipal area is not categorized by sewerage district wise.

Sewerage Districts Area and number of drains in the districts

The existing open drainage system functions as open sewers and thus contributes to the pollution of the Narmada, where most of the effluent ultimately finds its way. There is one major nalla (Bhonglinalla) in the town which is taking about 90% sewage/sullage of the town and then flows towards North direction of the town and finally it discharges into Narmada River. Remaining 10% of sewage/sullage from the households is carried by Susad river which ultimately discharge into River Narmada after joining of bhonglinalla.

Sewerage Districts covered with sewers and STP

Nil

Sewerage Districts Not Covered With Sewer and STP

As per census 2011, total 52.77% HHs of total HHs are having latrine facility within the premises. From which waste water of 0.04% of the is discharged in to Open drains, wastewater of 42.07% HH are conveyed into septic tanks and discharging into open drains, Wastewater of 3.21% HH conveyed through Pit latrine and the rest 7.45% is by other system. Remaining 47.23% HHs which are not having latrine facility within the premises, they either use public latrine or defecate in open area.

As per City Sanitation Plan, there are 19 Community toilet, 6 Public Urinal and one public toilet exist in the town. 3 community toilets are not in working condition. The waste water of public/community toilets is conveyed into septic tanks and discharged into open drains.

Source: Analysis by the Consultant, census 2011 data and City Sanitation Plan

18. Toilets: At present sanitary system of whole city is based on either individual house hold


24

having septic tank or twin pit latrine system. There are 3 Community toilet blocks and 2

Public toilets exits in the city. As per the door to door survey conducted in the city the detail

of household toilet in the area where septage management, non-conventional system i.e.

SBS and conventional sewer system has been proposed are as follows: -

19. ANP has identified 308 Houses in the septage management area where household does

not have septic tank. The construction of twin pit toilet is proposed under Swatch Bharat

Mission. All the houses within its limits which do not have individual toilets and has taken

up the responsibility of constructing toilets for such families at individual household level.

ANP envisaged a scheme under the State owned ‘Mukhya Mantri Shahri Swachhata Mission’ which later on was merged with the National Level Mission "Swachchh Bharat

Mission". ANP has already started constructing individual toilets and aims to have

Individual toilets at each HH level; by the end of the Year 2017.

20. At present as there is no proper Sewerage system, the sewage is directly disposed in to

the nearby drain without any treatment. Anjad does not have an under ground sewerage

system. Also there is no separate sewerage and storm water network in the city. The

existing condition of sewerage system is in very bad shape. The area completely lacks in

underground sewrage system for conveyance of household wastewater. Also there is no

treatment facility in the form of STP in the town. The prevelant sewerage systems

generally practiced by the people in town is individual septic tanks privately maintained by

the respective households. Filty nallahs/drains run across almost whole length and breadth

of the town, thus contributing to unhygienic living conditions. It causes lot of unhealthy

conditions to the people in general and hence it is essential to provide Sewerage scheme

for the town. Also, due to increase in water needs for the growing population, and the

expected increase in supply, will lead to generation of more wastewater, which needs to be

safely managed. The Government has therefore appointed the consultant for preparation

of sewerage scheme of the Town. The objective of the sewerage system is to ensure that

sewage discharged from communities is properly collected, transported and treated to the

required degree and disposed off / reused without causing any health or environmental

problems.

C. Proposed Project

21. Coverage of Sewerage System: The character of Anjad town is a mix of urban and rural

areas. As such it is proposed to provide sewerage system in the core area of the town.


25

The Project area covered under the scheme is 7.83 sq.km. It is proposed to lay down

scheme consisting of three separate zones. As per topography, the zones are classified by

considering the location of the proposed pumping stations and pipe network layout. The

proposed scheme shall be determined following the path of the developed or to be

developed roads in the town as per the town-planning scheme. Details of the classified

area covered by each zone and the projected dry weather flow (DWF) to be served by the

respective pumping stations are given in Table 6 and 7.

22. Anjad town is proposed to cover by centralised sewerage system considering the

topography of the town by way of dividing into three sewerage zones. Sewerage zone I

covers whole western part of the town. The slop of whole zone is from West to East i.e.

towards Susad River. Sewerage zone 2 covers main town area east side of the Susad

River. The slope of the whole zone is towards Bhonglinalla which is passing from center of

the town. Around 90% population of the total population is covered by this district. Only a

few pockets are felt necessary to have techno-economic proposition for covering all

households of the town under organized sewerage system. One sewage treatment plant is

proposed to cover 95% of the population and hardly 5% proposed to be covered by septic

tank with arrangement of safe effluent disposal.

23. As Anjad is proposed with a centralized sewerage system. Only Gravity network has been

considered. The Sewerage zone boundaries are defined based on the topography

(Considering depth of cut). Sewer collection network is planned for the project area

keeping in consideration of minimise the crossings of major barriers like National highway,

Railways, Rivers, Canals. Main Sewers are laid along the natural drainage line to minimize

the depth of excavation. The design of sewer network is as per the design criteria of

CPHEEO Manual. The town is divided into 03 zones. Zone I & II is gravitated to single

sewage treatment plant based on SBR Technology. The treated effluent from STP is

proposed to be disposed off to a nearby available drain which joins Bhongli Nala by a

gravity pipe line. Zone III will be covered by septic tank with arrangement of safe effluent

disposal.

24. In centralized Sewerage System approach, one IPS near Susad River in zone I and one

MPS near Bhongli Nala in Zone II is required to pump the sewage of ward no. 5 and 6,

from IPS Zone I to MPS in zone II and then from MPS to STP at Zone II through pumping

main, hence the sewage of whole town can be treated by two SPS and one Sewage

treatment plant.

25. All the wards mentioned in the city Development plan has been taken in the proposal. The

proposed sewage collection system will include house service connections with aim to

collect sewage at location of its generation. This will also avoid intermixing of sewage and

storm water run off

26. Proposed Sewerage System: The conventional sewage system of laterals, branch and

main sewers are proposed. The network is planned in such a way that sewage will be

collected from households from all streets and roads within ULB area by gravity and will be

conveyed to STP location. The manholes are proposed at 30m interval, at change of

direction and diameters of sewers for inspection and cleaning of sewers. The proposed


26

sewer manholes are brick masonry manholes. The street manholes will be circular in

shape with concentric cone depending on the depth and diameter of sewers. The minimum

size of sewer considered as 100 mm and minimum soil cover of 1m. Till the house sewers

connections are made by individuals, the existing septic tanks will be in operation.

27. The sewage flow is considered 80% of rate of water supply that is 135 lpcd. The sewage

flows are calculated for present, intermediate and ultimate years. The efforts are made to

maintain minimum self-cleaning velocity in sewers. In initial stretches of sewers, the

minimum self-cleaning velocities are not achieved so flushing will be required. The sewer

cleaning equipment are proposed in the project for cleaning of sewers. House connection

chambers are proposed for connection of household sewer pipe to this chamber. The

hydraulic designing of sewers is done using SewerCAD software. The proposed sewage

treatement facility is for 3.66 MLD of sewage flow.

28. Community Septic Tanks & Soak Pits: For rural villages and slum areas in Anjad Town,

majority of the population residing in the slums faces severe problem of improper drainage.

Individual houses / community do not have septic tanks and laying of conventional sewers

are not feasible due to scattered houses, away from the main city area, per capita waste

water generation is very low due to less populated area and water consumption rate is low.

It is proposed to have community septic tanks for these villages and to improve the service

levels for sewage treatment and preventing untreated sewage flowing to drain / open area.

The community wise toilets will be constructed by MP Govt. under Swachh Bharat

Abhiyan. The local committee will carry out O&M of community septic tanks and

community toilets.

29. Septage Management: Due to topography of the area and uneven slope of the wards and

for ease of maintenance, they are proposed to be covered by septage management. There

are approximately 192 households in Anjad Municipal council area which are proposed

under septage management under Zone 3 and some houses which do not come under the

sewer network are also proposed under septage management by constructing septic tanks

and soak pits for household in zone 3. Collection of sludge from the septic tank,

disposal to treatment. Construction of the septic tank in the house does not have

septic tankhas been included as BOQ item in project cost, thereby making people

dependent on septic tanks (one of the most common forms of urban sanitation facilities

with the Swachh Bharat Mission’s aim to make India an open defecation free country by 2019. This will certainly help in reducing open defecation in he proposed zone 3 area but

without proper collection, transportation and treatment processes, faecal waste from these

additional toilets will only amplify the current problem. This is clearly an area that needs

urgent attention. For this septage management has been proposed. Septage management

is a process and requires attention at every stage of the sanitation chain for collection,

transportation and treatment of septage (See Figure 5: Steps for planning septage

management). Safe disposal or end use in a scientific manner is the main goal of septage

management. Though cleaning interval of septic tank varies from 2 to 5 years or even

more depending upon the capacity of the tank,

30. The following are the key components of a Septage Management Plan


27

31. Collection and Transportation: Proper collection and transportation of septage is one of the most important components of septage management. As per the CPHEEO Manual on Sewerage and Sewage Treatment, 2013 “yearly desludging of septic tanks is desirable, but if it is not feasible or economical, then septic tanks should be cleaned at least once in two - three years, provided the tank is not overloaded due to use by more than the number of persons for which it is designed.”This septic tank will be required to clean in every two years.Assuming on average one machine can clean three tanks per day; hence total 1 vehicle / machine will be needed. No machine is available with Anjad Municipal council. It is proposed that one machine will be tractor mounted tanker fitted with diesel pump and one jetting cum suction machine having capacity 8.0 KL with 140 HP motor and will fulfill the demand of the septage management.

32. Under the Prohibition of Employment as Manual Scavengers and their Rehabilitation Act,

2013 desludging / emptying of septic tanks is to be undertaken by mechanical devices like

suction emptier trucks / vacuum tankers. These desludging trucks collect septage at the

household level and transport it to treatment or disposal sites. ULBs need to assess the

following aspects of septic tank emptying (UDD, 2016);

• The number of septic tanks required to be emptied annually as per CPHEEO norm versus the number that are emptied in a year

• The number of vaccum emptying trucks/ capacity of trucks that are required if number of septic tank emptied as per CPHEEO norm versus the number of trucks that are available/working with capacities of emptier trucks

• Cost assessment per emptying visit • Method of register maintenance for septic tank emptying services database

etc.

33. It will be ensured that the septage transportation vehicle operators (whether from the ULB or private sector) are well trained and equipped with protective safety gears (such as gloves, boots, hat, face mask, Davy’s lamp), uniforms, tools and proper vacuum trucks, for safe handling of septage (UDD, 2016). Also, all septage transporters need to maintain a collection and transport receipt system that needs to be duly filled by the private / ULB service provider and submitted to ULB office (UDD, 2016).

34. Treatment & Disoposal: Septage collected from various points in the zone 4 will be disposed of at STP site in compliance with the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 and the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974.Once collected, the septage will be treated as per the CPCB and MPPCB norms before disposal. Septage has constituents similar to municipal wastewater, which make the co-treatment of septage along with sewage feasible.

35. Reuse: Reusing refers to the act of returning the products to the environment as either useful resources or reduced-risk materials (UDD, 2016). The treated septage can be used as a soil enricher or as filling material at construction sites (UDD, 2016). Properly treated sludge can be reused in the following ways (CEPT, 2015):

• Soil Conditioner- It can be applied on parched land as a soil conditioner, or as a fertilizer in agriculture. Crops which could be safely grown are corn, fodder, cotton, trees including fruit trees, eucalyptus and poplar.

• Aquaculture- Settled septage effluent can be applied to freshwater where it is possible to achieve dilution to ensure dissolved oxygen is above 4 mg /l. Fish species of tilapia and carp are preferred since they tolerate low dissolved oxygen.

36. The town is divided into 03 zones and zone 3, are considered to be provided with onsite

facilities by constructing septic tanks. Both zone 1 & zone 2, the zone is gravitated to single sewage treatment plant based on SBR Technology (3.66 MLD capacity). On the basis of Life Cycle Costing (LCC) Technique, the most feasible technological option for STP for town is ‘Sequencing Batch Reactors (SBR). This option is cost-effective, land required is less and result is very good. STP is to be designed for ultimate design year capacity, but the phase wise operation will be followed (i.e. first phase will be comprising of the construction of STP for first 15 years’ capacity) year 2033. The proposed SBR technology will achieve effluent discharge standards of Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).

40. Sewer Construction works: Civil works in the project include linear excavation for laying sewer pipes along the roads, placing sewer pipes in the trench and refilling with the excavated soil. 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 are very narrow and congested with pedestrians and vehicles, while the roads in outer areas are wide. Details of propsed sewer construction are given below. Minimum depth will be 1.0 m and maximum will be 6.99 m. Trench width will range from 1.10 m to 1.50 m. 35% of sewers will be with laid within depth of 1.5 m below ground, and only about 13% of sewers will be laid more than 3.5 m deep. Maximum depth of sewer to be laid is 7.0m. Trenches for sewer-work will be dug by backhoe or manually in narrow, and swers will be brought to site on trucks, off loaded and placed into each trench manually, after which soil will be replaced to cover the trench. Manholes will be either constructed in-situ or precast manholes will be fixed depending on site conditions.

42. Other construction works. Other civil works in the subproject include construction of sewage pumping stations, and STP (pre-treatment works like inlet chamber, fine Screen Channels De Gritting Tanks Flow Measuring Channel and Flow distribution box, main treatment units, treated effluent disposal works), 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. Although the site is fairly small the construction will be straightforward, involving mainly simple excavation. The ground will be dug by backhoe diggers and bulldozers, and soil will be transferred into trucks for offsite disposal. Most of the construction works will be of concrete mortar, which will be prepared mechanically at site in concrete mixtures. Foundations for the small pump houses will be dug by backhoe or manually, and concrete and aggregate will be tipped in to create the foundations and floor. The brick sides will then be built manually by masons and pumps will be brought in on trucks and placed inside the pump house by crane. The roof material will then be attached by hand. Once the work is over, the temporary structure will be removed.

43. Project Benefits: The subproject aims to achieve sustainable wastewater management in both the towns and where the sewage generated is collected at the household level,


41

transported, treated and safely disposed and at the same time improving the storm water drainage infrastructure to minimise or avoid flooding and water logging both in terms of services to customers, cost recovery, Provisions is made in proposed system for construction of new septic tanks in both towns to meet 100% sewer connection. 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 and will lead to better public health particularly reduction in waterborne and infectious diseases.

44. The benefits of the project after implementation are:

• Prevention of ground water and soil pollution due to infiltration of untreated liquid waste

• Prevention of discharge of untreated sewage into lakes / river • Improvement in water quality of lakes • Improvement in environmental sanitation health and reduction in associated health

hazards • Improvement in quality of life, human dignity and increased productivity • Prevention of storm drains carrying sanitary sullage or dry weather flow • Treated sewage shall be available for irrigating agricultural fields leading to more

production of agricultural products

D. ImplementationSchedule 45. After the approval of the detailed project report, bid will be prepared and tenders are likely to

be invited by April 2018, and the contract will be awarded by June 2018. Construction is likely to start in July 2018, and will take about 28 months (including monsoon period).

IV. POLICY, LEGAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE FRAMEWORK

A. ADB Policy

46. ADB requires the consideration of environmental issues in all aspects of

ADB’soperations, and the requirements for environmental assessment are described in ADB SPS,2009. This states that ADB requires environmental assessment of all ADB investments.

47. 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) CategoryC: Projects are unlikely to have adverse environmental impacts. No EIA or IEE is required, although environmental implications are reviewed.

48. 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.

49. 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

50. 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 this must be obtained before any construction work or land preparation (except land acquisition) may commence. Projects are categorized as A or B depending on the scale of the project and the nature of its impacts.

51. Categories A projects require EC from the central Ministry of Environment and Forests

(MoEF). The proponent is required to provide preliminary details of the project in the prescribed manner with all requisite details, after which an Expert Appraisal Committee(EAC) of the MoEF prepares comprehensive Terms of Reference (ToR) for the EIA study. On completion of the study and review of the report by the EAC, MoEF considers the recommendation of the EAC and provides the EC if appropriate.


60

52. Category B projects require environmental clearance from the State Environment Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA). The State level EAC categorizes the project as either B1 (requiring EIA study) or B2 (no EIA study), and prepares ToR for B1 projects within 60 days. On completion of the study and review of the report by the EAC, the SEIAA issues the EC based on the EAC recommendation. The Notification also provides that any project or activity classified as category B will be treated as category A if it is located in whole or in part within 10 km from the boundary of protected areas, notified areas or inter-state or international boundaries.

53. None of the components of this sewage improvement subproject in Anjad falls under the

ambit of the EIA Notification 2006, and, therefore EC is thus not required for the subproject.

54. 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 15.

Table 15: Applicable Environmental Regulations

Law Descriptio Requirement

The EIA notification, 2006 (and its subsequent amendments in 2009) provides for categorization of projects into category A and B, based on extent of impact

This states that Environmental Clearance (EC) is required for specified activities/projects, and this must be obtained before any construction work or land preparation (except land acquisition) may commence. Projects are categorized as A or B depending on the scale of the project and the nature of its impacts. Categories A projects require Environmental Clearance from the National Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF). Category B projects require environmental clearance from the State Environment Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA).

Not applicable. The sub-project is not included in schedule of environmental impact assessment notification 2006 and its subsequent 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.


61

Water (Prevention And Controlof Pollution) Act of 1974, Rules of 1975, and amendments

Act was enacted to provide for the Prevention and control of water pollution and the maintaining or restoring of wholesomeness of water, by Central and State Pollution Control Boards and for conferring on and assigning to CPCB/SPCBs powers and functions relating to water pollution control. Control of water pollution is achieved through administering conditions imposed in consent issued under to this Act. These conditions regulate the quantity and quality of effluent, the location of discharge and the frequency of monitoring of effluents. Any component of the subproject having the potential to generate sewage or trade effluent will come under its purview.

V. DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT

A. Methodology Used for Baseline Study

56. 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.

57. The literature survey broadly covered the following:

(i) Project details, reports, maps, and other documents prepared by technical expert of design consultant team

(ii) Discussions with Technical experts of the design consultant team, municipal authorities, relevant government agencies etc.

(iii) Secondary data from previous project reports and published articles, and (iv) Literature on landuse, soil, geology, hydrology, climate, socioeconomic profiles,

and other planning documents collected from Government agencies and websites.

58. Ocular inspection: During IEE preparation 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 Resources

1. Location, Area & Connectivity

59. Geographically, the project area is located in the Narmada valley at 22.03° N latitude and

75.05° E longitude. It has an average elevation of 151 metres (495 feet). It is a tehsil in Barwani district of Madhya Pradesh state. The project area comprises the adjoining town of Anjad, administratively in Barwani District of the state. It is located at about 318 km south – west of the state capital Bhopal, and its distance from Barwani is 16 km and130 km from Indore. It is situated along the main road connecting Anjad with SH-26. The town is situated 17 km. from Barwani. The great Narmada River flows through Barwani (just 5 km from city). A river flows through it named Bhagwati Nadi, today known as Bhongli nadi. The district is bordered by Maharashtra state to the south, Gujarat state to the west, Dhar District to the north and Khargone District to the east.

60. Anjad Nagar Parishad (Anjad Municipal Council) extends to an area of about 15.54 sq. km

characterized by a mix of urban and few rural settlements. Anjad is a class III town which was established as Nagar Panchayat on 1908. Presently the town has a population of about 26492 (census 2011 provisional figure). Anjad is a small town and Nagar Parishad situated in the District Anjad of M.P The town is divided into 15 municipal wards, which includes villages of Awali, Badgaon, Bjaha and Banjari etc

2. Topography, Soils and Geology

61. The topography of Anjad town is governed by two major water bodies. Namely Susad River

and Bhongli nalla, Susad River and Bhongli nalla flow from South direction to North direction. Both of them meet near Chhota Barda village and then adjoin into River Narmada. The drainage system of Anjad is shown below.

Figure 26: Existing Drainage Map Anjad

62. The soil in the region is mostly black cotton but has a rocky terrain. No rock cutting/blasting will be required during sewer laying, however detailed investigation will be done during detailed design phase by DBO Contractor.The soil in the Nimar region is less productive in comparison to nearby region like Malwa region. The district as previously supposed to be unsuitable for the tube-well development programme since it is a hard rock formation area. However, the results of Geo hydrological survey and drilling of tube wells in the district are encouraging. The primary geo hydrological investigation in the entire district has been completed

3. Seismology 63. 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”.


69

4. Rainfall and Climatic Conditions

64. The climate of the district on the whole is tropical and dry, except during south west

monsoon season (middle of June to September). The year may be divided into four seasons. Winter Season is between November to February. Summer season starts from March and ends by June. The months of October and November constitute the post-monsoon or transition season. The climate of the district is hot; the temperature varies between 420C to 480C, making it the hottest place in India. Relative humidity is maximum in the monsoon season and is very low in dry months. It is as low as 10% in dry months and as high as 94% in the monsoon season. The place stays very hot in summer and moderately cold in winter; hence, the ideal time to visit is between the months of August and March. The months of May and June are very hot while the month of December and January are cold with the temperature going down to 100C. July and August are rainy season. The rain may occur from the months of June to October. Average wind speed is 9 km per hour. Maximum wind speed is during May – June and minimum wind speed is during December – January.

65. Rainfall: The district is influenced by South-West Monsoon which extends from June to September. The mean annual rainfall is 842 mm. The most rainfalls occur in July. There is very little rainfall in the winter season. The monsoon rainfall accounts for 80% - 85% of the annual rainfall.

66. There is little rainfall throughout the year. The driest month is February. There is 0 mm of

precipitation in February. The most precipitation falls in July. With an average of 34.5 °C, May is the warmest month. January has the lowest average temperature of the year. It is 20.9 °C.

58. Project Areas & Environs: Project components locations are shown in below map.

5. Surface Water


71

59. There is lake located in the town is situated in the south eastern side of the town namely Foota Talab. The water body has a surface area of 2.10 Hectares. There are two rivers passing from the town, one is passing from the centre of the town namely Bhongli Nallah and another major river which is passing from western side of the town namely Susad river. The whole sewage and storm water of the area is flows through the road side drains and finally joins Bhongli Nala. Initially Bongli Nala was the Bhagwati river or Bhongli river, later due to the encroachment and pollution it got converted into the Bhongli Nala. The Bhongli Nala passess from the centre of the town and carries about 70% of city’s storm water and drainage out of the town. The road has been built along the both sides of the Nala by the nagar parishad and the Nala has been almost pakka. The sewerage from the houses is directly dumped into the Bhongli Nala through the pipes. The weekly market is operated from the roads which are constructed along the Nala, the waste of the weekly market is also dumped in the Nala and in many places the solid waste is collected along the nala by the workers of nagar parishad. Similarly, the Susad river is also passes from the city, the drainage of slums are directly meet to the river. At some distance Susad and Bhongli river are confluence and after that they fall into the Narmada River at a distance of 5 km.

60. Barwani district falls under the Narmada drainage system which forms the northern boundary of the district. The tributaries of Narmada are Goi and Deb which are formed by small streams.

61. About 88% of the district lies in Narmada Basin and 12% in Tapti Basin. The major tributaries of Narmada are Deb and Goi. No major tributary of Tapti flows in the district. The surface water availability at 75% dependability for both the Basins is 966.70 MCM of which 921.95 MCM is from Narmada Basin and 44.75 MCM from Tapti Basin. The district area is drained mainly by the Narmada river and its tributaries like Goi and Deb. All of these tributaries flow from south to north and join Narmada. Similarly, tributaries like Tori, Churi, Dudhikheda etc. flow from north to south. Major rivers are perennial to semi-perennial.

62. Goi: Goi is a long river rising from the southern slope of the Bijagarh foot hill and cutting its channel through the Satpura. It meanders for over 120.75 Km. to the north-west and joins Narmada south of Nisarpur which is on the opposite northern bank covering Sendhwa and Silawad places of the district.

63. Deb: Deb originates from the village Dhanori and flows with its meanders for about 100 Kms to the north and joins Narmada. Deb has eleven springs; six of the springs in the Deb drainage area are near the villages of Bada, Salai, Singui, Ghusgaon, Achhaldevi, Sitapuri and Sadla while there is one to the north-east of Bharvada and other four in the Dhaba forest.

64. The great Narmada River flows through Barwani (just 5 km from city). A river flows through project town named Bhagwati Nadi, today known as Bhongli nadi. The town of Anjad gets raw water supply from Narmada River which is about 5 km from the city. Town receives water from both surface and ground water. Around 1.2 MLD per day water receives from river Narmada. In ground source, for supplying drinking water in the town there are 6 tube wells and 10 Hand pumps which are located in the various parts of the town. From ground sources, 0.3MLD water is being supplied. Yield of these tube considerably during summer.

65. Water Quality of River U/S & D/S of the Anjad Town: Chemical quality of water of Narmada River at u/s and d/s of the town is tested by Regional Laboratory, M.P. Pollution Control Board Indore on dated 30/6/2014. The samples were collected on dated 26/6/2014 at Dattwada (u/s of the town) and near Chhota Barda (d/s of the town). From the results, it is revealed that untreated sewage discharge coming out from the Anjad town joins Narmada River. The detailed results are given in Appendix-15 .

67. Surface Water Quality: Surface water quality monitoring will be done during detailed

design phase and surface water quality monitoring has been include in monitoring plan. Refer EMP Table- 31.

6. Ground Water

68. The occurrence and movement of ground water is governed and conditioned by geomorphic configuration of the place and water bearing properties of the litho units like porosity, permeability etc.

69. Barwani district is underlain by, Basaltic lava flows of Deccan trap. Dynamic ground water resources of the district have been estimated for base year-2010/11, on block-wise basis. Out of 5,42,200 ha of geographical area, 3,66,831 (68%) ha is ground water recharge worthy area and 1,75,369 ha (32%) is hilly area. There are seven number of assessment units (block) in the district which fall under which fall under non-command sub-unit. Barwani, Niwali, Pati and Sendhwa blocks of the district are categorized as safe blocks, Rajpur and Thikri as semi critical and Pansemal as over exploited with highest stage of ground water development which is computed as 115 %. The net ground water availability in the district is 41,301 ham and ground water draft for all uses is 29,819 ham, making Stage of Ground water development 72 % (72 % in 2004/09) as a whole for district. After making allocation for future domestic and industrial supply for next 25 years, balance


76

available ground water for future irrigation would be 9,457 ham.

70. Ground Water Quality of Barwani District: As per chemical analysis data of pre-

monsoon, 2011, ground water in the area is generally alkaline in nature and the pH values are within acceptable limits. The Chloride concentration in the area is below 250 mg/l. The higher chloride values generally coincide with areas having high EC thus indicating that the salinity in ground water is mainly due to chloride. Concentration of magnesium and calcium in Barwani district are within permissible limits. The nitrate concentration in the district ranges between 2.5 – 68 mg/l with only Sendhwa having a value of 68 mg/l. The fluoride concentration in the district ranges between 0.14 to 0.61 mg/l. The total hardness in the district ranges between 65 to 530 mg/l falling within permissible limit. The plot of the Piper diagram indicates that alkaline water is found at Baru phatak, Julwania, Niwali and Rajpur. At Sendhwa, ground water is of alkaline earth sulphate and chlorite type, having permanent hardness, which can be removed by ion-exchange method. At Palsud, the water is alkali sulphate and chloride type

71. Ground Water Quality & Depth of Water Level: Ground water quality data of Anjad town is not available at this stage; however, ground water quality of the town is potable. The ground water availability in these areas comes under Safe Zone as per Central Ground Water Board (CGWB) report. Ground water quality monitoring will be done during detailed design phase by DBO Contractor. However, as per District Ground Water Information has been annexed in Table- 23 as given below.

7. Air Quality 72. No air quality data available, however, there are no air pollution sources, except the dust,

which is mainly due to dry weather, activities like traffic movement. There is no data on ambient air quality in Anjad Town, which are not subject to monitoring by the Madhya Pradesh Pollution Control Board (MPPCB) as there are no major industries. 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). In addition, following factors also contribute largely to the problem;

• Increased in the number of vehicular traffic, • Poor road condition • Construction of buldings

73. 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 commencementof 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

74. Project area mostly comprises urban areas, agricultural areas of Anjad, which are

converted to human use many years back. Majority of the area in the municipal boundary is in residential and commercial. There are no ecologically sensitive features in the project area. Flora and fauna found in the area is of local species. There are no forest areas within municipal limits, but forest areas exist around Anjad as shown in Fig-34-35. Extent of forest areas around Anjad is very limited and none of the project components are located in the forest areas. The forest areas are confined to low forested hilly areas around the town. None of the subproject components are located in these forests. Forests are mostly covered with teak and mixed tree cover. The district lies in the southwestern corner of Madhya Pradesh; the Narmada River forms its northern boundary. The Satpura Range lies to its south.

75. Barwani district area covered with vegetation is managed by the Forest department. Due to less rainfall and land, nature provides the scattered and unmanageable greenery which remain under the forest area protected and un-classed forests. Mixed type of forests is found in the district. These forests are spread in Sendhwa, Pansemal ranges and also in parts of Barwani ranges. The trees found in the forests are teak, moyen, dhovan, haldu, ledia, neem, palash, amla, tensa, belawar and behda etc. The main teak associate floras are; anjain, salai, jhingan, while saj, tendu and mahuwa etc. are found in low-lying moist area. Other main species found in the canopy are phansi, bija, mokha, kaim, kari, bijasal, rohan, arjunshisham, kalasiris, chichwa, pangrachirolgamari and semal.

76. The wild animals found within the district do not differ remarkably from those found in other districts. Of the animals of the carnivorous order, tiger and panthers are very rarely seen in the interior areas of dense forests. Senkutta, lomdi, and jararc (hyena) are the other roaming carnivorous animals. Sloth bear, wild bear, nilgai, sambhar, chital, chinkara and monkeys are found in Pati ranges. Rabbits and mangoose are the mammals found in the district. Among birds, wild owl, peacock, titar, bater,dove and pigeon can be seen everywhere. Nearest protected area is Ralamandal Sanctuary, about 140 km from the Anjad town.

D. Economic Development

1. Landuse

77. As per the existing land use pattern, the commercial activity is observed to be the second

largest activity after the transportation activity may be mainly due to the tourist inflow. Present development shows a clustered settlement pattern spread over 15.54 sq.km area, comprising both urban and rural settlements. Most of the area is predominantly undeveloped and is under the agricultural use. The urbanized area is only about 15% of the total municipal areas. In the historical context, Barwani district is described as a rich and fertile land due to Narmada basin. District and its headquarters share the same name. Carved out of Khargone (West-Nimar) district Barwani was formed on 25th May 1998. In 2006 the Ministry of Panchayati Raj named Barwani one of the country's 250 most backward districts (out of a total of 640). It is one of the 24 districts in Madhya Pradesh currently receiving funds from the Backward Regions Grant Fund Programme (BRGF).

78. Spread over 15.54 sq. km area Anjad is comparatively a smaller town and is traditionally

an agriculture-based economy. It is a local center for agricultural marketing dealing in agriculture produce, inland fisheries and forest produce. Large part of the municipal area is still under agriculture.

79. Residential areas share about 41.00% of the total area in Anjad; while, Agriculture Land / Forest Cover areas shares about 28.00%, Special areas shares about 13.00%, Public & Semi Public areas shares about 6.00%, Vacant Land areas shares about 5.00%, Water Bodies areas shares about 3.00%, Roads & Transportation areas shares about 2.00%, Commercial areas shares about 2.00%, The following analysis with respect to land use can be drawn for the case of Anjad:

2. Industry & Agriculture

80. The economy of Barwani district is based on cultivation. Agriculture is the main source of

livelihood of the people of the district. 84.9% of the people depend upon agriculture in the district, out of which 44.0% are cultivators and 40.9% are agricultural labourers.

81. Economically Anjad is entirely dependent on agriculture, with several other small industries developing in the area. Anjad town is mainly known for Cotton, Soybean, Corn, Vegetables and Chilly cultivation. Along with many cotton factories which gives employee to the thousands of local people, Sanjay Cotton Fiber is the most famous and largest Cotton Factory of the region. Majority of the population is engaged in trading and agriculture related activities. The economy is mostly dependent on agriculture and agricultural based activities. Cotton industries are located within municipal limits. They have there own treatment plants As per EARF EMP Table, no industrial wastewater shall be allowed to dispose into municipal sewers

82. The main Economic base of Anjad town is mainly depends upon the Agriculture. Agriculture is the only component after trading that from the backbone of the economy. Anjad sits in rich agriculture region, though lack of proper irrigation facility and modern agriculture practice are reducing the actual potential. Techniques are largely nominal, with the majority of the farmers still relying on traditional methods of farming. The main crops produced in the district include Maize, Rice, Kutki and Oil seed Ramtilla. Kharif and rabi are the main crop seasons in the project area.

83. Commercial Aspects: Anjad is one of the small towns of Badwani district. It could be develop as a major commercial city because of good connectivity to major cities. The city mostly relies on Badwani and Thikri for commercial activities. The major commercial activities of the town are operated from ward 5, 7, 9, 10, and 11. 3. Infrastructure

84. Sewerage: There is no sewerage collection and treatment system in the Anjad town.

Households mainly depend on individual sanitation systems like pit latrines, septic tanks etc. Open defecation is also prevalent in the project area. There is no treatment plant established thus, the raw water sewage with drainage water is directly disposed in the


84

agricultural fields. There are no public toilet facilities available in the town. A sewerage and drainage system needs to be improved in the towns to meet the increased wastewater generation due to improvement in water supply.

85. Solid Waste Management: There is no proper solid waste management system in the

towns. Respective municipal councils are 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 towns.

86. 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.

87. 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.

88. Transport: The areas of Anjad town are 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. Roads are surface either with bitumen or concrete, and roads in the outer areas are mostly unpaved. Most of the roads are maintained by respective municipal councils 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. Anjad Nagar Parishad is currently improving some of the important roads in the town.

E. Socio Cultural Resources

1. Demography

89. According to the census, the population of Anjad was 26,289 in 2011, increased from

22,882 in 2001, which shows an increase of 14.89 % over the decade. The previous decade of 1991-2001 experienced comparatively higher growth of 17.81%. Overall literacy is 59%, which is lower than the national average of 59.5% with 58% for males and 42% for females, literacy in the state as a whole. 16% of the population is under 6 years of age. With an area of 15.54 sq. km under the municipal limits, gross population density is very low (2275 persons/km), but this varies across the area, as most of this area is undeveloped, and in the core area of the town, population is dense. About 2% of the population are scheduled tribes (ST), but these are part of the mainstream population, and about 16% belong to scheduled castes (SC). Main language spoken the project areas is Hindi.

90. Socio-Economic Status: The overall involvement of main workers in the town is close to both district and state average whereas involvement of marginal workers is lower than the district and state average figures. The % of Non-Workers population in Anjad is 64% which includes students, housewives, dependent such as infants or very elderly people,


85

pensioner’s those who are drawing pension after retirement and are not engaged in any economic activity etc. The total workers in Anjad can be classified into 4 categories based on their occupation as Cultivators, Agricultural Labourers, Household Industry Workers and Other Workers. Out of total workers (main+marginal) Cultivators and Agricultural Labourers constitute 10.7% and 36.8% respectively. The overall literacy rate of the town (excluding out growths) is higher than the district average (urban) but much lesser than the state level data. Comparison of literacy among males and females shows that more percentage of male are literate than females. 2. History, Culture and Tourism

91. Anjad is popular for its ancient and beautiful “Nagari Mata Temple”, located on top of the

valley in right corner and centr of the town, the Deity of this temple is considered as Tutelary Diety of Rajput community. Religious temple like Nagri Mata temple are places where people spend their time for recreation. There are two other temples, namely Gayatri Temple and Saibaba Temple (Chota shirdi). Anjad is also famous for its cotton factory, an employment source for thousands of locals.

92. The Pancha Mukhi Hanuman Temple in Anjad, brings devotees together from all over the region for offering prayers. The place is surrounded by many nearby tourist places such as Mandu, which is at a distance of about 85 km, Omkareshwar is about 132 km, Nandurbar is approx. 154 km and Toranmal is about 135 km away from Anjad town. Mandu, also known as Mandavgarh, is an ancient town established by the Muslim ruler, AlauddinKhilji. The town is renowned for its two fortified enclosures meant for protecting the royal enclave and the royal palace of Baz.

93. There are no protected areas / archeonologica sites in Anjad. Nearest town Mandu, which

is at a distance of about 85 km from Anjad town.is an important historical and architeural town in M.P. and is a world heritage site listed by GOI. There are several ASI monuments, archeological sites such as the 15th century Jahaz Mahal, built in the Afghan style of architecture, is a major part of the royal enclave and attracts many people. Other popular attractions of this place are Alamgir, Jehangir Gate, Rampol Darwaza, Bhangi and Tarapur Gate, Rani Roopmati Mahal, Jama Masjid etc. Another prominent pilgrimage centre near Anjad, at a distance of 132 km is the Omkareshwar Temple located in Khandwa District, which is counted among the 12 Jyotirlinga shrines of Lord Shiva.

94. Culture Activities: As such there is no prominent recreational area or tourist place in

Anjad town and hence the town doesn’t have any remarkable tourism activity. At present there are very limited socio-cultural facilities available in the town such as community halls, dharamshalas, parks, playgrounds etc. Even the facilities which are present are not in good condition and lack maintenance. Apart from that, some areas can be developed as Regional tourism or recreational areas which have a potential to attract people from other towns. The areas which are identified for the development as tourism centre is: Nagari Mata Mandir.

95. Religious Activities: Bawangaja (Chool Giri) is an important Jain pilgrimage centre. It is 6 Kms from district headquarter Anjad. There are 11 temples on the hill and they belong to 15th century. It has world's tallest statue of Lord Adinathji. Jain saints Kumbhakarna and Indrajeet were said to attain Nirvaan from this place only. Beejasan is situated on the Agra-Mumbai national highway, 20 Kms from Sendhawa towards Maharashtra. It is


86

famous for the temple of Godess Beejasani (Durga).

96. Tourism: Anjad is also popular for the nearby small hill station called Toranmal. Toranmal houses tourist sites such as Yashavant Lake, Lotus Lake, Gorakhnath Temple and Nagarjun Temple. Main tourist season starts in the month of August and continues up March. December-January is considered as peak tourist season.

97. Barwani is surrounded by the great hills of Satpura and in the raining days it becomes one of the most beautiful places in central India. The city is also called the Paris of Nimar. Nimar region is split into East Nimar and West Nimar. Nimar, in local terms, means "area beyond thetdhgn Neem Trees". Barwani lies in West Nimar. Barwani is famous for its Papitas and Bawangaja (a Jain holy place 8 km from Barwani).

F. Subproject Site Environmental Features

98. Features of the selected subproject sites are presented in the following table below.

Table 24:-Site Environmental Features- Anjad

Infrastructure

Location & Environment Feature Site Photograph

Sewage Treatment Plant

The proposed STP site is located on south-eastern side and on outskirts of the town, away from human settlement on the right hand side of existing road and proposed STP site is at least 500 m away from the habitation There is no notable development within 500m of site boundary. Some brick kiln works is going on within 200-500m from its premises by local people. (Refer map annexed as Fig-36). There are no trees on the proposed site. There are no notable sensitive features and the site is currently vacant and barren land and surrounded by agricultural lands, which belongs to Revenue Department, GoMP. Total land area required is 0.5 Hectare and available land is 13.86 hectare (Khasra No. 526.) Proposed STP site is located on undulating terrain and most part of the site is surrounded by agricultural land and some part is surrounded by hilly areas and approx. 300m away from phoota talab. The STP site not comes under flood prone area/ low lying areas, however site is surrounded by foothill. It is not a defiened drainage channel. But for general water

accumulation during monsoon, it will be ensured that STP site is not obstructing natural drainage, all the mitigative measures will be take into consideration such as proper drainage system will be provided to channel off the upstream flow into downstream near by available natural drains, which joins Bhongli Nala and then finally into Narmada to avoid flooding/water accumulation from up hill areas. Mitigative measures has been included in EMP. (Refer EMP Table-27 during design stage) The proposed site shall be provided with sufficient buffer zone with maximum extent as per availability of land at least 20-30 m width of buffer green area to avoid a site with significant inhabitated and residential areas down stream of prevailing wind. Providing proper boundary for the site, especially high compound wall towards Residential area. Distance from STP boundary to nearby property/houses is about 500m and with the proposed green buffer zone with trees of 30m width, the minimum distance from the STP units will be 530m and no odour generating potential units will be located towards habitation. Treated water will be disposed off into nearby available natural drain which joins Bhongli Nala and then to Narmada river. Treated wastewater will be disposed into nearby available natural drain, which is at a distance of 580m from STP site and then after traveling a distance of about 1.6km joins Bhongli Nala, after that it will finally disposed into Narmada after travelling a disatance of 13.4 km from Bhongli nala. Capacity of drain is adequate to take the load, as the drain is passing along agricultural fields connecting to STP site located near foothill of undulating land mass with a large catchment area as shown in google map (Refer Fig-


88

39). This natural drain is only way to clear run-off water generated from hill catchment during rainy season. Treated effluent is of very small quantity with respect to run-off and as such capacity is adequate to discharge it through this natural drain all over the year.condition of the drain is not good, proper drainage system needs to be provided upto a stretch of 1.6km for proper disposal of treated sewage. Proposed STP site is located at the fringe area of subproject town and agricultural fields are reported in and around of STP site, therefore treated water will be utilized mostly by local farmers for irrigation purpose for agricultural land which will be lifted by them from their owned pumps as a sump is proposed for temporary storage at WTP site. During monsoon season, effluent will move through natural drain which further meets at Bhongli Nalla and then into Narmada river.

Intermediate Pumping Station (IPS)

Site selected for IPS is located on the bank of Susad River near Susad Mohalla. Although, a temple, government middle school and community hall is reported in the proximity of Susad Mohalla but proposed site of IPS is away from these receptors. It is about 50m away and as well as back side of the built up area. As mentioned above that proposed site is located on bank of the river and agricultural fields are reported in and around the site. As per the land records there is large piece of land in the proposed Khasra but during site visit, it was found that a large built up area along with temple and school has been developed but away from river side. It is pertinent to mention here that required land for IPS is available which is reported vacant in state. Site is currently vacant & barren land and is owned by GoMP. As per revenue


89

record total land area available is 0.36 Hectare & required land area is 0.022 Hect (Khasra No. 71). No tree cutting will be required as the trees are on the periphery of the site, which will not be removed for IPS construction. It is proposed developed 20-30 m buffer around the IPS within the proposed site boundary, so the buffer between IPS and temple/school and residential area will be about 70-80 m. Providing proper boundary for the site, especially high compound wall towards temple, school and residential areas. Layout plan of IPS shall be devised in such a way that it will be farthest from temple, school and habitation, so there will be no impacts envisaged due to odour to the nearby residents. (Refer Fig-38) As the site comes under flood prone area due to proximity of Susad river. Structures should be constructed above HFL to avoid pollution of floodwaters and flood damage to infrastructures and to minimize the earthworks and associated construction costs. As per local people no flooding occurred during last 05 years’ period.

Main Pumping Station (MPS)

Proposed MPS site is located near Army hotel (a food restaurant) on the bank of Bhongli nala along the main road when moves towards Chota Bardha village at least 50m away from habitation. There is no notable development within 50m of MPS site boundary. (Refer Fig-37) HFL of the proposed site is road level. As per local people no flooding occurred during last 10 years’ period. The site is currently vacant and barren land. A community toilet exists on the proposed site which is currently not in use and is delipated structure. Electrical line is passing along the road in between proposed MPS site and main access road, which will not make


90

any impact during implementation. Trees are on the periphery of the site, which will not be removed for MPS construction. Site is located outside the town. Adequate land is in possession of ULB. Site is currently vacant, and is owned by GoMP. Total land area available is 0.2 Hectare & required land area is 0.03 Hec. (Khasra No. 370) The proposed site shall be provided with sufficient buffer zone with maximum extent as per availability of land at least 20-130 m width of buffer green zone to avoid a site with significant inhabitated and residential areas down stream of prevailing wind. Providing proper boundary for the site, especially high compound wall towards Residential area. Distance from MPS boundary to nearby property/houses is about 50m and with the proposed green buffer zone with trees of 20-30m, the minimum distance from the MPS will be 70-80m and layout MPS shall be devised in such a way no impact will be envisaged due to odour to the nearby residents.

Pumping Main

Pipelines will be mostly laid along the main roads. Pipes will be laid underground. There are no trees along the roads and no tree cutting will be required along the road. Locating main sewer in the ROW alongside the Road, to avoid acquiring agricultural land and affecting the livelihoods of farmers and farm workers.


91

Main Sewer line

Pipelines will be mostly laid in the middle of the main roads. Pipes will be laid underground

Sewer Networks

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


92

road, which may affect the traffic. However, laying of pipeline in centre

of the road or sides etc. will be

decided after utility surver during

detailed design phase by DBO

contractor.

Community Septic Tanks & Soak Pits

The proposed location for 0.15 MLD Septic Tanks & Soak Pits for Zone- 3 This location is favourable because of Majority of the population residing in the slums faces severe problem of improper drainage. Individual houses / community do not have septic tanks and laying of conventional sewers are not feasible due to scattered houses,

VI. ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

99. Potential environmental impacts of the proposed infrastructure components are presented in this section. Mitigation 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 to reduce the impact.

100. 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 bio physical array and encroachment either directly or indirectly on adjacent environments. It also includes impacts on people who will lose their lively hood 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/throughout, 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.

101. 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).

102. 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.

103. The ADB Rapid Environmental AssessmentChecklist in

http://www.adb.org/documents/guidelines/environmental_assessment/eaguidelines002.asph as been used to screen the project for environmental impacts and to determine the scope of the IEE.

104. 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) 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 (iii) 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.

http://www.adb.org/documents/guidelines/environmental_assessment/eaguidelines002.asp

http://www.adb.org/documents/guidelines/environmental_assessment/eaguidelines002.asp


98

A. Pre-Construction Impacts – Design & Location

105. ADB Environmental Assessment Guidelines require that an IEE should evaluate impacts due to the location, design, construction and operation of the project. Construction and operation are the two activities in which the project interacts physically with the environment, so they are the two activities during which the environmental impacts occur. In assessing the effects of these processes therefore, all potential impacts of the project are identified, and mitigation is devised for any negative impacts.

106. In many environmental assessments there are certain effects that, although they will

occur during either the construction or operation stage, should be considered as impacts primarily of the location or design of the project, as they would not occur if an alternative location or design was chosen.

107. The main impact from location and design may arise for pipe laying and STP and SPS

(IPS & MPS) sites. Most of the impacts for pipe laying are already mitigated during design by changing the pipe laying sites to less impact areas after detail survey. Also, trenchless method is adopted for major nallah crossings to reduce impact. Advance NOC needs to be taken for laying the pipes through roads, highways and through lands of other Government departments. Both IPS and MPS site is located 50m away from habitation. Although, a temple, government middle school and community hall is reported in the proximity of proposed IPS, which is away from these receptors. It is about 50m away and as well as back side of the built up area. To reduce impact of foul smell plantation in 2-3 rows on the periphery of IPS & MPS land has been proposed to develop 20-30 m buffer around the MPS & IPS, so the buffer between MPS/IPS and temple, school and residential area will be about 70-80 m. STP design was modified and SBR technology was adopted so as the available free land will be sufficient for the construction of desired STP for Anjad (STP –3.66 MLD). Though there is no habitation near STP site, Habitation is approximately at a distance of 500 from STP site. STP is outside of the town. To reduce impact of foul smell plantation in 2-3 rows on the periphery of STP land shall be done.

108. Design of the Proposed Components: Technical design of the (i) SewageTreatment

Plant; (iii) Pumping mains, (iv) Pumping station, (v), Sewer Network; connections and other items, follows the relevant national planning and design guidelines, focusing on providing a robust system which is easy to operate, sustainable, efficient and economically viable.

109. Design of Sewage Treatment Plant. An SBR based STP of 3.66 MLD capacity is proposed to be constructed at the identified site on the outskirts of Anjad town to treat the sewage generated from Anjad Town. Septage from septic tanks collected via mobile suction tanker will be discharged into inlet of STP for treatment along the sewage collected via sewer network. It is proposed that the treated wastewater will be disposed into nearby natural drain which joins Bhongli Nala and then final disposal into Narmada river. As per existing situation; besides wastewater, solid waste is dumped into Bongli nalla. There are also weekly markets held along the nala, and market waste is dumped into this nallah. To avoid and reduce the impacts of solid waste dumped into the Bhongli Nala, provision for installation of screens as barrier nets to avoid dumping of waste into Bhongli Nala is included in EMP (Refer EMP Table 27 & Table 32 in IEE Report). Subproject is proposed for implementation under design-build-operate mode of contract, and therefore detailed design of STP will be carried out by the DBO contractor to meet the following prefixed treatment standards, which are more stringent than those of MoEFCC


99

effluent disposal standards from STP (Table 16). SBR technology is already finalized during feasibility stage, and contractor will adopt this technology and design the facility.

S. No

Parameter Concentration

1. pH 6.5-9.0

2. Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), mg/l <10

3. Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), mg/l <50

4. Total Suspended Solids (TSS), mg/l <10

Sulphates mg/l 2

7. Fecal Coliform , MPN <100

110. Sewage Treatment Plant: An SBR based STP is recommended since SBR

technology requires comparatively much less land area with same efficient results as that of extended aeration. The main advantage of the SBR plant is that the effluent shall be of high quality.

111. The major components of the STP are i) Inlet chamber, ii) Fine Screen Channel, iii) Grit Chamber, iii) SBR units (SBR basin, Decanting Device, aeration system, Return sludge and excess sludge pumps, automation and control), iv) Disinfection unit, sludge dewatering unit, Sludge holding area

112. The SBR treatment (for the STP) process consists of the following stages: ➢ Inlet works with mechanical screens, grit removal, flow measurement & flow splitter

box ➢ Four square batch reactors with individual inlet flow control & a fully automated

process ➢ Mechanical sludge dewatering ➢ Sludge holding area

113. The SBR based STP will require uninterrupted power supply for operation of all the

activities from inlet to treatment, and for sludge dewatering. Disruption in power supply will lead to process upset, may affect the efficiency of treatment, and result in treated effluent quality not meeting the disposal standards. Following measures are integrated into design and contracts to ensure efficient operation:

➢ Ensuring continuous uninterrupted power supply, including a back-up facility (such as

generator) ➢ Providing operating manual with all standard operating procedures (SOPs) for

operation and maintenance of the facility, this should include guidance on the follow up actions in case of process disruptions, inferior quality of treated water; etc.

➢ Necessary training (hands-on and class room / exposure visits) shall be provided to the ULB staff dealing with STP.

➢ Extended contract period for O & M, proper transfer of facility to ULB Anjad after compltetion of contract period with adequate technical know-how on O & M and hands-on training to ULB staff.

➢ Design should include online monitoring for at the minimum BOD, pH and Ammonia


100

at the inlet and outlet of the plant. ➢ Design should include provision for automated shutdown in the incidence of high

BOD (above design capacity) entering the plant. ➢ Prohibit/prevent disposal of wastewater/effluent from industrial units in the sewers;

ensure regular checking to ensure no illegal entry of industrial wastewater into sewers

114. Proposed STP site is located away from the developed area of the town. Site is surrounded mostly by agricultural lands. The proposed STP site is located on outskirts of the town away from human settlement approximately about 500 m away from the habitation.

115. Site selected for IPS is located on the bank of Susad River near Susad Mohalla. Although, a temple, government middle school and community hall is reported in the proximity of Susad Mohalla but proposed site of IPS is away from these receptors. It is about 50m away and as well as back side of the built up area.

116. STP site selection and justification: There are many parameters which require careful and judicious selection before setting off for the actual design of STP. The STP has been proposed after due consideration to the existing landuse of the site. Issues has been investigated befor final selection include Govt. land availability, topography, drainage, surface/ground water, wind direction, power and water supply, accebility, disposal of effluent, ecosystem and local landuse. Site selected for STP is located on the outskirts of the Anjad town away from human settlement on the right hand side of existing road at a distance of 500 m away from habitation. There is no notable development within 500 m of STP site boundary. Some brick kiln works is going on within 200-500m from its premises by local people. Site is curently vacant, and is owned by Revenue Department, GoMP. Total land area required is 0.5 Hectare. Availbe land area is 13.86 hectare (khasra No. 526), which is sufficient for setting up of STP. STP is located on the higher elevation and on upstream side of Bhongli Nala. It is because of non-availability of govt. land. Efforts have been made to conceptualize scheme with STP towards north of town (between the Town and River Narmada), but there are highly fertile agricultural fields towards Narmada River. These agricultural fields are private lands andno government land available. Therefore, STP site is identified based on the government land availability on the south of the town, and scheme is designed accordingly. Proposed STP site is located on the outskirts of the town, about 500 m away from habitation and surrounded by agricultural fields. Treated wastewater from STP will be disposed into a local drain near STP that flows into Bhongli Nalla, which ultimately flows into Narmada river, about 15 km from the STP site..

117. Odour nuisance. SBR process being an aerobic process and conducted in a compacted and a closed system with automated operation, odour nuisance will be very minimal. However, limited bad odours will be generated from wet well, primary treatment units and sludge treatment. To mitigate this impact, development of physical separation and visual screen around the facility is recommended. Adequate green buffer zone in the form of landscaping and earth work shall be created around the STP. Besides operating the plant as per the standard operating procedures, which will further minimize the odour potential, the following measures are also included in the site planning and design:

➢ Providing a green buffer zone of all around the STP as per availability of land; atleast 20-30 m width of buffer zone with trees in multi-rows and landscaping. This will act as


101

a visual screen around the facility and will improve the aesthetic appearance. ➢ Providing high compound wall around the STP ➢ Develop the STP layout plan such that STP units with maximum odour generating

potential are located farthest from the nearest development; in layout design, develop office or other such facilities towards the habitation.

118. Treaed wastewater disposal. From the STP treated wastewater will be discharged

into a drain which carries rain water during the monooon. This drain after traversing about 1.6 km joins Bongli Nalla. Bongli nala is a major storm water drain that primarily intended for carrying rain water, however, due to lack of sewerage system in the town, this nala is catering to untreated sewage and sullage from the town. At present this nala, except during monsoon, carries wastewater and joins River Narmada 12 km downstream of Anjad Town. The total distance of Narmada River discharge point from STP is about 15 km (drain / nala length). Provision of sewerage system including treatment facility will avoid disposal of untreated sewage into River Narmada. Given the SBR technology for treatment and stringent discharge standards, there are no significant impacts envisaged due to disposal of treated wastewater into Narmada. Treated wastewater discharges in to River Narmada after flowing for about 15 km from STP discharge point. Folllowing design measures are included: ➢ Proper drainage system shall be made as part of STP design to avoid flooding/water

accumulation from uphill areas, and to channel off the upstream flow into downstream drains without any hindrance

➢ Repair and rehabilitate the 1.6 km length drain, if required, to receive treated wastewater from STP and convey it to Bhongli Nala safely;

➢ Provision for installation of screens as barrier nets on Bhongli Nala to prevent solid waste disposal into nala

➢ Create awareness in the town on to prevent dumping of solid waste into drains

119. Sewage sludge generally consists of organic matter, pathogens, metals and micro pollutants. The concentration of parameters such as metals can be influenced by input to the sewers system from industry. Since no industrial wastewater is allowed into sewers, it is unlikely that sludge contains heavy metals. The sludge from reactors will be collected in sludge sump and conveyed to centrifuge for dewatering. The sludge in the form of a wet cake will be further air-dried in the sludge drying beds. The treatment and drying processes kill enteric bacteria and pathogens, and because of its high content of nitrates, phosphates and other plant nutrients the sludge is an excellent organic ferti lizer for application to the land. Adequate drying is however necessary to ensure maximum kill of enteric bacteria. To achieve adequate drying minimum drying period (15 days) shall be ensured. The drying period, which will be varying depending on the season will be determined during operation and be followed. A sludge management plan will be developed by the DBO Contractor. Sludge shall be periodically tested for presence of heavy metals. Proper sludge handling methods should be employed. Personal Protection Equipment should be provided to the workers.

120. Dried and properly composted sludge can be used as soil conditioner. Periodic testing of dried sludge will be conducted to ensure that it does not contain heavy metals that make it unsuitable for food crops. Tests will be conducted to confirm the concentrations below the following standards. As there are no specific standards notified for sludge reuse, the compost quality standards notified under the Solid Waste Management Rules,


102

2016 have been adopted here. Rules stipulate that “In order to ensure safe app lication of compost, the following specifications for compost quality shall be met”. Refer Table-17.

121. Sewage Pumping stations. It is proposed to construct 2 sewage pumping stations i.e IPS & MPS, which will receive sewage from the catchment area and pump to STP. IPS and MPS are located at lowest point where the sewage from catchment area can be collected by gravity, and then pumped to a higher level, and ultimately to the STP. SPS will consists of inlet chamber with screen; a sewage sump or wet well of dia 5 m and 4.9 m to 5.5 m deep, to receive sewage; pump room. A generator set will also be provided at each SPS as standy power.

122. SPS operation involves accumulation of incoming sewage wey well, and then pumping

out as the sewage level reaches the designed pumping depth. Water level in the well rises before the pumping cycle starts, and as the pumping is performed the water level goes down, registering its lowest depth at the end of pumping cycle. This cycle of rising and lowering will continue throughout the day and night, however, the duration between successive pumping cycles will significantly vary depending on the sewage generation. During morning and evening peak hours, sewage will accumulate quickly, and pumping frequency will be high. The sewage retention time in the suction well therefore varies throughout the day, with very high retention periods during the nights and mid-days.

123. Odour from pump stations. In the suction wells, the sewage emits gases, which

accumulated in the air above water surface. The gas may include odourous compounds like hydrogen sulphides (H2S), amines, fatty acids, aldehydes, ketones and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs). As the water level rises before the pumping cycle, it physically displaces the air, along with the odourous gas compounds. H2S is the most dominant odour causing compound, and therefore can cause nuisance to nearby households. When sewage becomes stagnant, H2S is generated in the anaerobic conditions. The quantum of H2S generation depend on quantity of accumulated sewage and sewage retention time that create anaerobic conditions. Both increase in quantity of sewage accumulation and retention time will increase the H2S generation. Design considerations will be included to minimize the both as much as possible. The retention time will be kept to its lowest possible so that there is no stagnation of sewage for long time which could create anaerobic conditions.

124. Sites for pumping stations were identified based on the technical suitability and

availability of government owned land parcels to avoid land acquisition. As far as possible sites away from inhabited areas are selected. Site selected for IPS is located on the bank of Susad River near Susad Mohalla. A temple, government middle school and community hall located at about 50m away from IPS site and as well as back side of the built up area. Maximum buffer towards temple and school should be maintained utilized the available land, and by planning of IPS units away from school and temple. There is no notable development within 50m of MPS site boundary. Following mesures needs to be included in the layout design of the SPS to minimize nuisance to surrounding areas:

Layout planning related measures

➢ Locate wet wells within the identified site at an internal location as far as possible from

nearest development; ➢ Providing 20-30 m wide green buffer zone around the IPS and MPS (with maximum


103

towards temple and school) with a combination of tall and densely growing trees in multi rows as per the land availability to control odour and also act as visual shield and improve aesthetical appearance.

➢ Layout plan of IPS/MPS shall be devised in such a way that it will be farthest from temple, school and habitation, so there will be no impacts envisaged due to odour to the nearby residents; ensure that maximum available distance is maintained to sump /wet well (Temple and school in case of IPS); this will increase the buffer distance of sump /wet well to nearby schook / temple from the existing 50 m from the boundary.

➢ Provide high compound wall around pumping stations

Design related measures to prevent and control odour

➢ Submersible sewage pumps of suitable rating, minimum submergence requirements ➢ Position of the submersible pumps and design of the wet well floor by providing

necessary side benching / sloped flooring to allow for higher submergence during low flow shall be made to ensure regular pump operation and avoid sewage stagnation beyond the permissible limit.

➢ Diesel Generators shall be provided as standby power supply ➢ Develop standard operating procedures / operational manual for operation and

maintenance SPS; this shall include emergency measures ➢ Provide training to the staff in SOPs and emergency procedures

125. Noise from pumping operations. Operation of pumps and motors and diesel

generators is a major source of noise. Noise generated from lifting/pump stations can have continuous negative impacts on the surrounding population. Pumping stations are located within the town but on the outer area of the town. Although STP is located outside the Town, noise control measures are necessary. High inside noise levels can affect the health of operators and staff at the facilities, and therefore, noise levels needs to be maintained within and outside the facilities at acceptable levels. Internal noise level in a room measured at a distance of 1m from these pump sources typically will be in the range from 80 dB(A) to 100 dB(A).

➢ Procure good quality latest technology high pressure pumps that guarantee controlled

noise at a level of around 80 dB(A) at a distance of 1 m ➢ Use appropriate building materials and construction techniques for pump houses which

can absorb sound rather than reflect noise ➢ Use acoustic enclosures – manufacturer specified, for all pumps, motors ➢ Procure only CPCB approved generators with low emission and low noise fitted with

acoustic enclosures ➢ Provide sound mufflers for ventilators in the plant rooms; and sound proof doors ➢ Provide ear plugs to workers

126. Energy Efficiency. Project area is mostly plain and gently sloping ground, it is therefore

not technically feasible or economical to design a completely gravity system to collect sewage from individual houses and transfer the same the STP on the outskirts of the town. It necessitated provision of pumping stations, which are optimized to the extent possible to minimize the overall pumping. In the current design, sewage will be collected from the houses via sewer network and conveyed by gravity to the pumping stations. To optimize the power consumption, the hydraulic design shall follow optimal approach, and the following


104

also to be considered in design and selection of pumping systems. According to Manual for the Development of Municipal Energy Efficiency Projects in India (jointly developed by Beaurau of Energey Efficiency (BEE) and International Finance Corporation in 2008), energy savings, at minimum, of 25% to 40% is possible with appropriate measures. The following measures shall be considered and incorporated into the subproject designs:

➢ Using low-noise and energy efficient pumping systems ➢ Efficient Pumping system operation ➢ Installation of Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs)

127. Sewer network. Following design considerations are to be included in sewer network planning and design: ➢ Limit the sewer depth where possible. ➢ Sewers shall be laid away from water supply lines and drains (at least 1 m, wherever

possible); ➢ In all cases, the sewer line should be laid deeper than the water pipeline (the

difference between top of the sewer and bottom of water pipeline should be atleast 300mm)

➢ In unavoidable, where sewers are to be laid close to storm water drains or canals or natural streams, appropriate pipe material shall be selected (stoneware pipes shall be avoided)

➢ For shallower sewers, use small inspection chambers in lieu of manholes; ➢ Design manhole covers to withstand anticipated loads & ensure that the covers can

be readily replace if broken to minimize silt/garbage entry ➢ Ensure sufficient hydraulic capacity to accommodate peak flows & adequate slope in

gravity mains to prevent buildup of solids and hydrogen sulfide generation ➢ Equip pumping stations with a backup power supply, such as a diesel generator, to

ensure uninterrupted operation during power outages, and conduct regular maintenance to minimize service interruptions. Consider redundant pump capacity in critical areas

128. 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.

129. Site selection of construction work camps, stockpile areas, storage areas, and

disposal areas: Priority is to locate these near the project location. However, if it is deemed necessary to locate elsewhere, sites to be considered will not promote instability and result in destruction of property, vegetation, irrigation, and drinking water supply systems. Residential areas will not be considered for setting up construction camps to protect the human environment (i.e., to curb accident risks, health risks due to air and water pollution and dust, and noise, and to prevent social conflicts, shortages of amenities, and crime). Extreme care will be taken to avoid disposals near forest areas, water bodies, or in areas which will

130. Site selection of sources of materials: Significant quantities of coarse aggregate


105

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 avoided as far as possible. It will be the construction contractor ’s responsibility to verify the suitability of all material sources and to obtain the approval of Department of Mines & Geology and local revenue administration.

B. Construction Impacts

1. Construction Works

131. The works are spread over entire town, and therefore the implementation of the

project will affect a significant proportion of the town as branches of the new sewerage network will be built alongside almost all roads and streets. Areas outside the town will also be affected, by construction of the SPS and STP. However, it is not expected that the construction work will cause major negative impacts, mainly because:

• Sewer network will be built on unused ground alongside existing roads and can be

constructed without causing major disruption to road users and any adjacent houses, shops and other businesses;

• SPS and STP will be located on government-owned land that is not occupied or used for any other purpose;

• Most network construction will be conducted by small teams working on short lengths at a time so most impacts will be localized and short in duration; and

• The overall construction programme will be relatively short for a project of this nature, and is expected to be completed in 2 years.

132. STP Construction Works: STP will involve construction of:

• Raw Sewage Pumping Station • Pre-treatment works like inlet chamber, Fine Screen channels De gritting Tanks Flow

measuring Channel and Flow distribution box • Sewage Treatment Plant based on SBR Technology • Treated Effluent Disposal Works

133. SPS Construction Works: SPS will involve construction of:

• Inlet and screen chamber • Wet well • Pump room and diesel generator platform

134. The STP and SPS 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. SBR technology STP will involve several mechanical and electrical components which will be brought to site, assembled and installed.

135. Sewer laying works: This works involves construction of following compoents:


106

• 23055 m secondary and tertiary network; pipes will be of small diameter (100 to 400 mm); will be located in trenches along side roads (average width 1.10 to 1.350 m and depth 1.0 to 6.99 m)

• 2,340 m Pumping mains; pipes will be 100 mm to 300 mm in diameter; and will be located in trenches along side roads (average width 1.10 to 1.40 m and depth 1.350 to 1.50 m)

136. Most pipes will be buried in trenches immediately adjacent to roads, in the un-used

area within the ROW, alongside the edge of the tarmac. The main and secondary sewers will be located alongside main roads, where there is generally more than enough free space to accommodate the pipeline. However, in parts of the tertiary network where roads are narrow, this area is occupied by drains or the edges of shops and houses etc., so the trenches may have to be dug into the edge of the road.

137. Trenches will be dug by backhoe digger, supplemented by manual digging where

necessary. Excavated soil will be placed nearby, and the pipes (brought to site on trucks and stored on unused land nearby) will be placed in the trench by crane or using a small rig. After the pipes are joined, loose soil will be shoveled back into the trench, and the surface layer will be compacted by hand-operated compressor.

138. At intervals, manholes will be constructed to allow inspection and clearance of

blockages and sediment during operation. These will be excavated by backhoe or manually. Manholes will be constructed in brick masonry or RCC.

139. As noted above, some of the narrower roads are constructed of concrete and have no

available space at the edge because of the presence of drains, or shop- and house-fronts encroaching into the ROW. In these places it may be necessary to break open the surface of the road using hand-held pneumatic drills, after which the trench and pipeline will be constructed as described above. On completion, a concrete layer will be re-applied to the surface to repair the road.

140. Anticipated impacts during the construction phase are discussed below along with appropriate mitigation measures to avoid, minimize or mitigate those impacts to acceptable levels.

2. Construction Impacts

141. Sources of Materials. Significant amount of sand and coarse aggregate will be

required for this project, which will be sourced from quarries. Quarries inevitably cause extensive physical changes; as construction materials are excavated from the ground, leaving large cavities, or levelling hillsides, etc. The physical damage caused by quarries is controlled by allowing them to operate within specific limited areas only, so the damage is restricted in extent and not allowed to spread indiscriminately. New quarries are subject to a rigorous process of environmental assessment to ensure appropriate siting and adequate environmental controls on the operation. It will therefore be important to ensure that construction materials for this project are obtained from government approved licensed quarries only, to ensure these controls are in place. In Anjad, construction sand is normally obtained from Narmada river (about 5 km), and gravel and aggregate from Barwani or nearby quary site (about 17km). Contractor should avoid new borrow pits / quarries as far as possible, if necessary, all the permissions, including conduct of environmental


107

assessment, and environmental clearance as necessary shall be obtained prior to start of quarrying activity. The contractor should also make a concerted effort to re-use as much excavated material from this project as possible. The construction contractor will be required to:

(i) Obtain construction materials only from government approved quarries with prior

approval of PIU (ii) PIU to review, and ensure that proposed quarry sources have all necessary

clearances/ permissions in place prior to approval (iii) Contractor to submit to PIU on a monthly basis documentation on material

obtained from each sources (quarry/ borrow pit) (iv) Avoid creation of new borrow areas, quarries etc., for the project; if unavoidable,

contractor to obtain all clearances and permissions as required under law, including Environmental Clearance (EC) prior to approval by PIU

142. Air Quality. Construction work, especially from earthwork activities, coupled with dry

and windy working conditions, material and debris transport, and works along the public roads carrying significant traffic, have high potential to generate dust. Significant quantities of earthwork will be conducted in the subproject, spread all over the project area. 95% of the excavated soil will be reused for filling the trenches. Also, emissions from construction vehicles, equipment, and machinery used for excavation and construction will induce impacts on the air quality. Anticipated impacts include dust and increase in concentration of vehicle-related pollutants such as carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides, particulate matter, nitrous oxides, and hydrocarbons. Dust generation from construction work in individual and confined work sites like STP, pumping stations etc., will be mainly during the initial construction phase of earth work, as the site is confined, dust can be effectively controlled with common measures. While pumping and lifting stations are located within residential neighbourhoods, STP is located outside the town, away from habitation area. Dust generation will be significant during sewer laying along the roads. Increase in dust/ particulate matter in ambient air is detrimental and may have adverse impacts on people and environment. To mitigate the impacts, construction contractors will be required to:

For all construction works

(i) Provide a dust screen around SPS and STP worksites (ii) Damp down the soil and any stockpiled material on site by water sprinkling; (iii) Stabilize surface soils where loaders, support equipment and vehicles will operate

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

moist throughout the process (v) Cover the soil stocked at the sites with tarpaulins (vi) Control access to work area, prevent unnecessary movement of vehicle, public

trespassing into work areas; limiting soil disturbance will minimize dust generation (vii) Use tarpaulins to cover the loose material (soil, sand, aggregate etc.,) when

transported by open trucks; (viii) Control dust generation while unloading the loose material (particularly aggregate,

sand, soil) at the site by sprinkling water and unloading inside the barricaded area (ix) Clean wheels and undercarriage of haul trucks prior to leaving construction site


108

(x) Ensure that all the construction equipment, machinery are fitted with pollution control devises, which are operating correctly, and have a valid pollution under control (PUC) certificate

For sewer works

(i) Barricade the construction area using hard barricades (ii) Initiate site clearance and excavation work only after barricading of the site is done (iii) Confine all the material, excavated soil, debris, equipment, machinery (excavators,

cranes 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) Undertake the work section wise; and conduct work sequentially - excavation,

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

(vi) Remove the excavated soil of first section to the disposal site (vii) 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. Road restoration shall be undertaken immediately.

143. Surface Water Quality. Run-off from stockpiled materials and chemicals from fuels and

lubricants during construction works can contaminate water quality of the receiving water bodies and streams/rivers. There are ponds and two rivers in the project area, which mostly drains into the Foota Talab, Bhongli Nala (initially Bongli Nala was the Bhagwati river or Bhongli river, later due to the encroachment and pollution it got converted into the Bhongli Nala) and into Susad River. it is important that runoff from the construction areas, which may contain silt and chemical traces do not enter the river and the water bodies. Impact will be temporary, and but needs to be mitigated. Construction contractor will be required to:

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

soil/silt run-off during rains (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) Store fuel, construction chemicals etc., on an impervious floor, also avoid spillage

by careful handling; provide spill collection sets for effective spill management (vii) Dispose any wastes generated by construction activities in designated sites; and (viii) Conduct surface quality inspection according to the Environmental Management

Plan (EMP). 144. 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 the project area, groundwater table is much deeper than the anticipated excavation depth and therefore this impact is not envisaged. However,


109

during the rains, water will be collected in open pits and trenches. The water collected in excavated pits will contain silt and disposal of this in drainage channels lead to silting. To avoid this the contractor needs to be implement the following measures:

(i) As far as possible control the entry of runoff from upper areas into the excavated

pits, and work area by creation of temporary drains or bunds around the periphery of work area

(ii) Pump out the water collected in the pits / excavations to a temporary sedimentation pond; dispose off only clarified water into drainage channels/streams after sedimentation in the temporary ponds

(iii) Consider safety aspects related to pit collapse due to accumulation of water 145. 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. 95% of the excavated soil will be reused, and the remaining soil needs to be disposed safely. The following mitigation measures to minimize impacts from waste generation shall be implemented by the contractor:

(i) Prepare and implement a Construction Waste (Spoils) Management Plan (ii) As far as possible utilize the debris and excess soil in construction purpose, for

example for raising the ground level or construction of access roads etc., (iii) Avoid stockpiling any excess spoils at the site for long time. Excess excavated

soils should be disposed off to approved designated areas immediately (iv) If disposal is required, the site shall be selected preferably from barren, infertile

lands; sites should have located away from residential areas, forests, water bodies and any other sensitive land uses

(v) Domestic solid wastes should be properly segregated in biodegradable and non-biodegradable for collection and disposal to designated solid waste disposal site; create a compost pit at worker’s camp sites for disposal of biodegradable waste; non-biodegradable / recyclable material shall be collected separately and sold in the local recycling material market

(vi) Residual and hazardous wastes such as oils, fuels, and lubricants shall be disposed off in disposal sites approved by MPPCB;

(vii) Prohibit burning of construction and/or domestic waste; (viii) Ensure that wastes are not haphazardly thrown in and around the project site;

provide proper collection bins, and create awareness to use the dust bins. (ix) Conduct site clearance and restoration to original condition after the completion

of construction work; PIU to ensure that site is properly restored prior to issuing of construction completion certificate

146. Noise and Vibration Levels. Components are located within urban area, where there are houses, schools and hospitals, religious places and businesses in the surrounding area. 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 for laying of sewers, operation of construction equipment, and the transportation of equipment, materials, and people. Vibration generated from construction activity, for instance from the use of pneumatic drills, will have impact on nearby buildings. This impact


110

is negative 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) 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

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

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

(v) Horns should not be used unless it is necessary to warn other road users or animals of the vehicle’s approach;

(vi) 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.

147. Accessibility and Traffic Disruptions. Excavation along the roads for laying of

sewers, hauling of construction materials and operation of equipment on-site will cause traffic problems. Main roads carrying traffic in the subproject area include the following:

• List road names that carry significant traffic in town is SH-26: Refer Drawing given below for road Network.

• Hospital Chauraha • Bus Stand • Library Chauraha • Sarafa Market • Jata Shankar Churaha • Shri Krishna Chauraha

148. Internal roads in the town are very narrow. Traffic movement will be mostly disrupted.

Works related to all the remaining components (pumping stations and STP) will be confined to the selected sites, therefore there is no direct interference of these works with the traffic


112

and accessibility. Hauling of construction material, equipment, construction waste, etc., to and from the work site may increase the road traffic on local roads. This will further inconvenience the local community and road users. Potential impact is negative but short term and reversible by mitigation measures. The construction contractor will be required to:

Sewer works

(i) Prepare a sewer work implementation; ensure that for each road where the work is being undertaken there is an alternative road for the traffic movement; take up the work in sequential way so that public inconvenience is minimal

(ii) Provide temporary diversions, where necessary and effectively communicate with general public

(iii) Undertake the work section wise (iv) Confine work areas in the road carriageway to the minimum possible extent; all

the activities, including material and waste/surplus soil stocking should be confined to this area.

(v) 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

(vi) Limit the width of trench excavation as much as possible by adopting best construction practices; adopt vertical cutting approach with proper shoring and bracing; this is especially to be practiced in narrow roads and deeper sewers; if the deep trenches are excavated with slopes, the roads may render completely unusable during the construction period

(vii) Leave spaces for access between mounds of soil to maintain access to the houses / properties; access to any house or property shall not be blocked completely; alternative arrangements, at least to maintain pedestrian access at all times to be provided

(viii) Provide pedestrian access in all the locations; provide wooden/metal planks over the open trenches at each house to maintain the access.

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

access is minimum. (xi) Keep the site free from all unnecessary obstructions; (xii) Notify affected public by public information notices, providing sign boards

informing nature and duration of construction works and contact numbers for concerns/complaints. Provide information to the public through media – newspapers and local cable television (TV) services

(xiii) At work site, public information/caution boards shall be provided including contact for public complaints

Hauling (material, waste/debris and equipment) activities

(i) Plan transportation routes so that heavy vehicles do not use narrow local roads,

except in the immediate vicinity of delivery sites (ii) Schedule transport and hauling activities during non-peak hours; (iii) Drive vehicles in a considerate manner (iv) Notify affected public by public information notices, providing sign boards

informing nature and duration of construction works and contact numbers for concerns/complaints.


113

149. Socio-Economic – Income. Sites for all projects components are carefully selected in

government owned vacant lands and therefore there is no requirement for land acquisition or any resettlement. Blocking of access to the business / livelihood activities, especially during pipeline laying along the roads, may impact the income of households. Some shops and other premises along the roads may lose business income if the access will be impeded by excavation of trenches. Access disruption to socio cultural places will inconvenience public. Implementation of the following best construction measures will avoid the disturbance reduce the inconvenience and disturbance to the public. Resettlement and social issues are being studied in a parallel resettlement planning study of this subproject.

(i) Inform all businesses and residents about the nature and duration of any work

well in advance so that they can make necessary preparations; (ii) Do not block any access; leave spaces for access between barricades/mounds

of excavated soil and other stored materials and machinery, and providing footbridges so that people can crossover open trenches

(iii) Barricade the construction area and regulate movement of people and vehicles in the vicinity, and maintain the surroundings safely with proper direction boards, lighting and security personnel – people should feel safe to move around

(iv) Control dust generation (v) Immediately consolidate the backfilled soil and restore the road surface; this will

also avoid any business loss due to dust and access inconvenience of construction work.

(vi) Employee best construction practices, speed up construction work with better equipment, increase workforce, etc., in the areas with predominantly commercial, and with sensitive features like hospitals, and schools;

(vii) Consult businesses regarding operating hours and factoring this in work schedules; and

(viii) Provide sign boards for pedestrians to inform nature and duration of construction works and contact numbers for concerns/complaints.

150. 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:

(i) Employ local labour force as far as possible

151. Occupational Health and Safety. Workers need to be mindful of the occupational

hazards which can arise from working in confined areas such as trenches, working at heights, near the heavy equipment operating areas etc., Deep trenches will be excavated for laying sewers (maximum depth 6.9 m), given narrow roads and works in urban area, these confirned spaces will be pose considerable safety risk to workers and as well as the surrounding structures and community. Potential impacts are negative and long-term but reversible by mitigation measures. The construction contractor will be required to:

(i) Comply with all national, state and local labour laws (see Appendix 6);


114

(ii) IFC’s General EHS Guidelines3 and Sector Specific (Water and Sanitation) Guidelines4

(iii) Develop and implement site-specific Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Plan which shall include measures such as: (a) safe and documented construction procedures to be followed for all site activities; (b) ensuring all workers are provided with and use personal protective equipment; (c) OHS Training5 for all site personnel, (d) excluding public from the work sites; and (e) documentation of work-related accidents; Follow International Standards such as the World Bank Group’s Environment, Health and Safety Guidelines6.

(iv) Ensure proper safety measures during trench excavation; provide bracing / shoring in all trenches of more than 1.5 m deep; no overburden soil, material, equipment etc., shall be placed along the deep trenches; safety training shall be provided to workers; where required provide supports anchors or suitable arrangement to nearby building to avoid any safety risk

(v) Ensure that qualified first-aid is provided at all times. (vi) Secure all installations from unauthorized intrusion and accident risks (vii) Provide health and safety orientation training to all new workers to ensure that

they are apprised of the basic site rules of work at the site, personal protective protection, and preventing injuring to fellow workers;

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

(ix) Ensure moving equipment is outfitted with audible back-up alarms; (x) Mark and provide sign boards for hazardous areas such as energized electrical

devices and lines, service rooms housing high voltage equipment, and areas for storage and disposal. Signage shall be in accordance with international standards and be well known to, and easily understood by workers, visitors, and the general public as appropriate; and

(xi) 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.

(xii) Provide supplies of potable drinking water; (xiii) Provide clean eating areas where workers are not exposed to hazardous or

noxious substances

5 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. 6 http://www.ifc.org/wps/wcm/connect/a99ab8804365b27aa60fb6d3e9bda932/EHS-Guidelines+101-

152. Community Health and Safety. Sewers works and deep excavations along the roads

and narrow streets and hauling of equipment and vehicles have potential to create safety risks to the community. Deep excavations without any proper protection may endanger the close by buildings. Hazards posed to the public, specifically in high-pedestrian areas may include traffic accidents and vehicle collision with pedestrians. A temple and Govt. Middle school is located close (50 m) from the IPS work site. Proper precautions needs to be taken to confirne the workers operations to the site, so that there is no disturbance or safety risk to the students/childrens.

153. Potential impact is negative but short-term and reversible by mitigation measures. The construction contractor will be required to:

(i) Ensure proper safety measures during trench excavation; provide bracing /

shoring in all trenches of more than 1.5 m deep; no overburden soil, material, equipment etc., shall be placed along the deep trenches; safety training shall be provided to workers; where required provide supports anchors or suitable arrangement to nearby building to avoid any safety risk

(ii) Confine work areas; prevent public access to all areas where construction works are on-going through the use of barricading and security personnel

(iii) Attach warning signs, blinkers to the barricading to caution the public about the hazards associated with the works, and presence of deep excavation

(iv) Contractor shall create awareness and no activities shall be extended outside the site, especially towards the temple & school; enfore strict site rules so that there is no disturbance or safety risk

(v) Minimize the duration of time when the sewer trench is left open through careful planning; plan the work properly from excavation to refilling and road relaying

(vi) Control dust pollution – implement dust control measures as suggested under air quality section

(vii) Ensure appropriate and safe passage for pedestrians along the work sites (viii) Provide road signs and flag persons to warn of on-going trenching activities. (ix) Restrict construction vehicle movements to defined access roads and

demarcated working areas (unless in the event of an emergency) (x) Enforce strict speed limit (20 kmph) for plying on unpaved roads, construction

tracks (xi) At sensitive locations particularly where there are schools and markets close to

the road, awareness of safety issues will be raised through neighbourhood awareness meetings

(xii) All drivers and equipment operators will undergo safety training (xiii) Maintain regularly the construction equipment and vehicles; use manufacturer-

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

(xiv) Overall, the contractor should comply with IFS EHS Guidelines Community Health and Safety (this can be downloaded from http://www1.ifc.org/wps/wcm/connect/dd673400488559ae83c4d36a6515bb18/3%2Bcommunity%2Bhealth%2Band%2Bsafety.pdf?MOD=AJPERES)

154. Construction Camps. Contractor may require to set up construction camps – for temporary storage of construction material (sewer, cement, steel, fixtures, fuel, lubricants etc.,), and stocking of surplus soil, and may also include separate living areas for migrant


116

workers. The contractor will however be encouraged to engage local workers as much as possible. Operation of work camps can cause temporary air, noise and water pollution, and may become a source of conflicts, and unhealthy environment if not operated properly. Potential impacts are negative but short-term and reversible by mitigation measures. Provision of proper living facilities and basic amenities (water, sanitation, fire safety, health and safety, etc) shall be ensured.

155. The construction contractor will be required to comply with the following. Overall, the contract should follow the IFC EHS guidelines specific to workers accommodation (this can be downloaded from http://www1.ifc.org/wps/wcm/connect/topics_ext_content/ifc_external_corporate_site/ifc+sustai

n ability/publications/publications_gpn_workersaccommodation).

(i) Consult PIU before locating project offices, sheds, and construction plants; (ii) Select a camp site away from residential areas (at least 100 m buffer shall be

maintained) or locate the camp site within the existing facilities of City Corporation

(iii) Avoid tree cutting for setting up camp facilities (iv) Provide a proper fencing/compound wall for camp sites (v) Camp site shall not be located near (100 m) water bodies, flood plains flood

prone/low lying areas, or any ecologically, socially, archeologically sensitive areas

(vi) Separate the workers living areas and material storage areas clearly with a fencing and separate entry and exit

(vii) Ensure conditions of liveability at work camps are maintained at the highest standards possible at all times; living quarters and construction camps shall be provided with standard materials (as far as possible to use portable ready to fit-in reusable cabins with proper ventilation); thatched huts, and facilities constructed with materials like GI sheets, tarpaulins, etc., shall not be used as accommodation for workers

(viii) Camps shall be provided with proper drainage, there shall not be any water accumulation

(ix) Provide drinking water, water for other uses, and sanitation facilities for employees

117

(xvi) At the completion of work, camp area shall be cleaned and restored to pre-project conditions, and submit report to PIU; PIU to review and approve camp clearance and closure of work site

B. Operation and Maintenance Impacts

156. Operation and Maintenance of the sewerage system will be carried out by DBO

operation for a duration of 10 years, and after which it will be transferred to Anjad 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.

157. Operation and Maintenance of Improved Sewerage System: The new sewerage

system will collect and treat all domestic wastewater sewage produced in Anjad town. Septage collected from septic tanks via mobile suction tanked will also treated in the STP along with the sewage collected via sewer network.The treatment technology (SBR) is approved by the Central Public Health and Environmental Engineering Organization (CPHEEO). The proposed design discharge values of SBR based STP treated effluent is much stringent than the standards specificed by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MOEFCC) for discharge from STPs (Notification dated 13th October 2017 for the discharge of treated sewage from STPs). Comparative values are given in the following table.

Table 25: Proposed Design Effluent Values for STP and Discharge Standards

of MoEFCC S. No. Parameters Design Value for

Anjad SBR STP MoEFCC STP

Discharge Standard 1. Biochemical Oxygen Demand

(BOD5 at 200C) < 10 mg/L 30 mg/L

2. Total Suspended Solis (TSS) < 10 mg/L < 100 mg/L

3. Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) < 50 mg/L < 50 mg/L

4. Total Nitrogen as N < 10 mg/L < 10 mg/L

5. Ammonical Nitrogen as N < 5 mg/L < 5 mg/L

6. Phosphorous as P < 2 mg/L < 2 mg/L

7. Fecal coliform < 230 MPN/100 ml <1000 MPN/100 ml

158. In SBR technology the odour will be minimal and development of greenbelts in and

around the STP will further minimize the effect. The financial provision has been considered for development of greenbelt.

159. Sewage Treatment Process: An SBR based STP is recommended since SBR technology requires comparatively much less land area with same efficient results as that of extended aeration. The main advantage of the SBR plant is that the effluent shall be of


118

high quality.

160. Location of Discharge Point and Disposal Method: Treated sewage from STP will be discharged into nearby l drain through outfall sewer pipeline having 580m length of dia 400mm RCC NP3 pipe by gravity system. Drain is at a distance of 580m from proposed STP site, which joins Bhongli Nala after travelling a distance of 1.60 km and then Bhogli Nala after traveling a distance of about 13.4 km joins Narmada river and the final disposal is into Narmada. There is one water intake for Anjad town on upstream side near Dattwada village on Narmada river. STP discharge point into Narmada is in the downstream about 11 km away from intake, (Refer Map annexed as Fig-4 & Fig-29), so there will be no impact on intake due to STP discharge as the discharge point is on on d/s from intake. As the River Narmada is perennial river and flow in the river is adequate to dilute the discharge. There are no water intakes / dams in the downstream river course upto 5-10 km stretch. Water quality of River Narmada is good and is considered as the A grade river. Water samples were collected by the officials of the pollution control board and tested at MPPCB Indore regional office. (Refer Appendix-15).

161. Capacity of natural drain is adequate to take the load, this natural drain passing along agricultural fields connecting to STP site located near foothill of undulating land mass with a large catchment area as shown in google map (Refer Fig-39). Treated effluent is of very small quantity with respect to run-off and as such capacity is adequate to discharge it through this natural drain all over the year. But condition of drain is not very good, proper improvement needs to be carried out upto a stretch of 1.6 km. So, it will be able to transfer treated water to major drain of Anjad town i.e. Bhongli Nala and then to Narmada safely without any flooding or overflowing problem. initially Bongli Nala was the Bhagwati river / Bhongli river, later due to the encroachment and pollution it got converted into the Bhongli Nala. As per existing situation; besides wastewater, solid waste is dumped into Bongla nalla. There are also weekly markets held along the nala, and market waste is dumped into this nallah. To avoid and reduce the impacts of solid waste dumped into the Bhongli Nala, provision for installation of screen as barrier nets to prevent dumping of solid waste is included in EMP (Refer EMP Table 27 & Table 32 in IEE Report). Besides, awareness programs also will be conducted. There will be no environmental concerns, this project will not deteriote the environment, it will further improve the environment. Given the high-quality treatment process SBR based treatment plant & output quality more stringent than the STP disposal standards and flowing for 15 km prior to meeting river, there is no impacts envisaged on River Narmada. Regular monitoring will be conducted to check the treatment quality. Baseline water quality of Bhongli Nala will be established during the detailed design stage by DBO Contractor. Proposed STP site is located at the fringe area of subproject town and agricultural fields are reported in and around of STP site, therefore treated water may be utilized by local farmers . Treated water can not be used for food crops that eaten raw or uncooked. It is pertinent to mention that it is a tentative one and it has to be finalized based on detailed investigation by DBO contractor once contract will be awarded. Accordingly, IEE and EMP will be further modified and finalized.

162. Sludge Management (Collection, Treatment and Disposal /Reuse): Sewage sludge generally consists of organic matter, pathogens, metals and micro pollutants. The concentration of parameters such as metals can be influenced by input to the sewers system from industry. However, there are no industries with problematic wastewater discharges in the catchment area of the proposed wastewater treatment plant. Most importantly, as provided above, no industrial discharges are allowed into municipal sewer


119

system.

163. At the STP sewage sludge will need to be removed from the active treatment plant periodically. This is a simple process that which require a Sludge Management Plan. Calculations conducted by the design engineers show that 796 kg/day of dry sludge is to be generated. Sludge will be allowed to dry out naturally and the solid sludge is removed by mechanical digging.

164. Sludge Dewatering System: Sludge Dewatering System shall consist of the following: • Sludge Sump and Thickener Feed Pump House

• Sludge Thickener (Gravity)

• Thickened Sludge Sump and Centrifuge Feed pumps

• Centrifuge & Polyelectrolyte Dosing System

165. Excess Sludge from SBR Basins shall be withdrawn through Sludge Withdrawal System and collected in the Sludge Sump. A Sludge Sump and Pump House shall be provided for collection and transfer of sludge from SBR Reactors to sludge thickener. The thickener shall be provided to thicken sludge (solids concentration to 4%). The thickened sludge shall be collected in a sump from where it shall be pumped to centrifuge for dewatering using positive displacement type Screw Pumps. Dewatering Polyelectrolyte Dosing System comprising one Solution Preparation tank and One Solution Dosing Tank with agitators equipped with slow speed Mixers and mechanically actuated diaphragm type Metering Pumps shall be provided to enhance the dewatering efficiency of centrifuge and to dose Dewatering Polyelectrolyte Solution online. The dewatered sludge in the form of wet cake from Centrifuges shall be collected and transported by trucks for disposal off to sanitary landfills site in Anjad or for use as manure on agricultural land. whereas Concentrate shall be collected into a Concentrate Tank and recycled to the Inlet Chamber. Drying of sludge inside the STP premises in Sludge storage platform.

166. The sludge from SBR basins will be collected into sludge sump and conveyed to centrifuge unit for dewatering the same. The necessary centrifuge feed pumps & centrifuge will be provided. The sludge in the form of a wet cake will be further air-dried in the sludge drying beds and disposed off at sanitary landfill site in Anjad town. The treatment and drying processes kill enteric bacteria and pathogens, and because of its high content of nitrates, phosphates and other plant nutrients the sludge is an excellent organic fertilizer and farmers are normally allowed to remove the dry material for application to their land. Adequate drying is however necessary to ensure maximum kill of enteric bacteria. To achieve adequate drying minimum drying period (days) shall be ensured. The drying period, which will be varying depending on the season, shall be determined during detailed design. The sludge is allowed to settle until clear water is on the top 20 to 30 percent of the tank contents. This ensures about 95% removal of E –Coli and other harmful bacteria from the effluent and sludge which can later be used for as manure.

167. Drying of sludge will be done inside the STP premises in Sludge storage platform. Dried sludge will be used as soil conditioner as manure and mixing with compost at compost yard. Periodic testing of dried sludge will be conducted to ensure that it does not contain heavy metals that make it unsuitable for food crops. Tests will be conducted to confirm the concentrations below the standards as mentioned in Table 17. As there are no specific standards notified for sludge reuse, the compost quality standards notified under the


120

Municipal Solid Waste Management & Handling Rules, 2000 and Solid Waste Management Rule 2016 have been adopted here. The MSWMH Rules stipulate that “In order to ensure safe application of compost, the following specifications for compost quality shall be met, Table 17 above.

168. Sludge shall be periodically tested for presence of heavy metals. Proper sludge handling methods should be employed to mitigate pollution due to improper sludge disposal methods. Personal Protection Equipment should be provided to the workers. A proper sludge management plan shall be prepared/developed by the STP DBO contractor.

169. Sludge Treatment: Sludge shall be treated/composted prior to use as manure.

Appropriate sludge treatment technology will be provided for reuse of sludge for agriculture purpose. The technology is kept open as the project will be firmed up during detailed design phase by DBO contractor.

170. As STP is proposed under design-build-operate contract modality, the following measures will be implemented during the detailed design of the STP:

(i) SBR process design to meet the following effluent discharge values

Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD5 at 200C)

<10 mg/l

Total Suspended Solis (TSS) < 10 mg/l

Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) <50 mg/l

Total Nitrogen as N < 10 mg/L

Ammonical Nitrogen as N < 5 mg/L

Phosphorous as P < 2 mg/L

Fecal coli form < 230 MPN/100 ml

(ii) Regular monitoring system to ensure that treated wastewater always meets the

design disposal standards (iii) Sludge management to collect, treat and dispose the accumulated sludge safely;

sludge will be treated in a mechanical centrifuge which will thicken the sludge by separating the liquid, thicken sludge will be further dried, and dried sludge will be used as a soil conditioner in fields; Sludge will be tested periodically for heavy metal concentration.

(iv) Provision of appropriate personal protection equipment to the workers and staff (v) Conduct detailed water quality assessment of Bhonli Nala at d/s of proposed

discharge point- pre and post monsoon (vi) Conduct sediment quality assessment of existing rainy drain and Bhongli Nala at

discharge point. 171. Following measures are to be implemented during the operation phase, and should be

appropriately included in the project design and operation manuals:

(i) Prior to handing over STP to ULB after the DBO contract period, ensure proper knowledge transfer, hands-on training to municipal staff engaged in STP


121

operation by DBO Contractor (ii) Ensure continuous uninterrupted power supply (iii) Operate and maintain the facility following standard operating procedures of

operational manual (iv) Undertake preventive and periodic maintenance activities as required (v) Maintain the mechanical / electrical parts as per the maintenance plan to avoid

any hazards (vi) Conduct periodic training to workers (vii) Ensure all safety apparatus at STP including personal protection equipment (viii) Implement sludge management plan (ix) Conduct regular wastewater quality monitoring (at inlet and at outlet of STP) to

ensure that the treated effluent quality complies with STP design values (x) Conduct periodic testing of dried sludge/compost to check presence of heavy

metals and confirming the following concentrations to use as compost. It shall not be used for food crops.

172. Sewer network. The sewer pipes will not function without maintenance, as silt

inevitably collects in areas of low flow over time. The project contractor will therefore provide equipment for cleaning the sewers, including buckets and winches to remove silt via the inspection manholes, diesel-fuelled pumps to remove blockages, and tankers to transport the waste hygienically to the STP.

173. Piped sewers are not 100% watertight and leaks can occur at joints. Any repairs will

be conducted by sealing off the affected sewer and pumping the contents into tankers, after which the faulty section will be exposed and repaired following the same basic procedure as when the sewer was built. Trenches will be dug around the faulty section and the leaking joint will be resealed, or the pipe will be removed and replaced.

174. There are certain environmental risks from the operating system, most notably from leaking sewer pipes as untreated faecal material can damage human health and contaminate both soil and groundwater. It will be imperative therefore that the the agency operating the sewerage system establishes a procedure to routinely check the operation and integrity of the sewers, and to implement rapid and effective repairs where necessary.

There is an occupation health risk to workers engaged in sewer maintenance activities. Following measures should be followed:

(i) Establish regular maintenance program, including:

• Regular cleaning of grit chambers and sewer lines to remove grease, grit, and other debris that may lead to sewer backups. Cleaning should be conducted more frequently for problem areas

• Inspection of the condition of sanitary sewer structures and identifying areas that need repair or maintenance. Items to note may include cracked/deteriorating pipes; leaking joints or seals at manhole; frequent line blockages; lines that generally flow at or near capacity; and suspected infiltration or exfiltration; and

• Monitoring of sewer flow to identify potential inflows and outflows

• Conduct repairs on priority based on the nature and severity of the problem. Immediate clearing of blockage or repair is warranted where an overflow is currently occurring or for urgent problems that may cause an imminent overflow (e.g. pump station failures, sewer line mentales, or sewer line


122

blockages); (ii) Maintain records; review previous sewer maintenance records to help identify

“hot spots” or areas with frequent maintenance problems and locations of potential system failure, and conduct preventative maintenance, rehabilitation, or replacement of lines as needed;

(iii) When a spill, leak, and/or overflow occurs, keep sewage from entering the storm drain system by covering or blocking storm drain inlets or by containing and diverting the sewage away from open channels and other storm drain facilities (using sandbags, inflatable dams, etc.). Remove the sewage using vacuum equipment or use other measures to divert it back to the sanitary sewer system.

(iv) Provide necessary health and safety training to the staff in sewer cleaning and maintenance

(v) Provide all necessary personnel protection equipment (vi) Do not conduct manual cleaning of sewers; for personnel engaged sewer

maintenance work, there is a risk due to oxygen deficiency and harmful gaseous emissions (hydrogen sulphide, methane, etc.); provide for adequate equipment (including oxygen masks) for emergency use

175. Septage Collection and Treatment. Due to techno economic reasons, some households are not covered with sewer network. To cater to these households, septage management system is provided. Wastewater will be disoposed by households ino individual septic tanks, and periodically (once in 2 two 3 years), accumulated septage will be collected via mobile suction tankers and discharged into STP inlet for safe treatment along with the sewage. Necessary training, apparatus and personnel protection equipment will be provided to the septage management staff to avoid any health and environmental risks in handling.

176. The citizens of the Anjad Nagar Parishad will be the major beneficiaries of the

improved sewerage system. The project will improve the over-all health condition of the town as water borne diseases will be reduced, so people should spend less on healthcare and lose fewer working days due to illness, so their economic status should also improve, as well as their overall health. This should also improve the environment of these areas, should deliver major improvements in individual and community health and well- being.

VII. PUBLIC CONSULTATION AND INFORMATION DISCLOSURE

A. Overview

177. 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.

VIII. GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM

A. Project Specific Grievance Redress Mechanism

180. 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, 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:

181. 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.

182. 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:

183. The GRM is based on the following principles and the same shall be used to assess the GRM performance: (a) Accessibility

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

The GRM shall offer clear procedures with time frames for each stage and clarity on the


137

type of results it can and cannot deliver. (c) Transparency

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

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

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

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

184. 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.

185. 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

186. 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 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.

IX. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

A. Environmental Management Plan

190. An environmental management plan (EMP) has been developed to provide mitigation

measures to reduce all negative impacts to acceptable levels. 191. The EMP will guide the environmentally-sound construction of the subproject and

ensure efficient lines of communication between MPUDC, project management unit (P MU), 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.

192. 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.

193. 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.

194. 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.

195. The following tables show the potential environmental impacts, proposed mitigation

measures and responsible agencies for implementation and monitoring. .

D. Monitoring and Reporting

205. Immediately after mobilization and prior to commencement of the works, the contractor

will submit a compliance report to PIU that all identified pre-construction mitigation measures as detailed in the EMP are undertaken. Contractor should confirm that the staff for EMP implementation (EHS supervisor) is mobilized. PMU with the assistance of the PDMC will review the report and permit commencement of works.

206. During construction, results from internal monitoring by the contractor will be reflected in

their monthly EMP implementation reports to the PIU. ASO will review and advise contractors for corrective actions if necessary. Quarterly report summarizing compliance and corrective measures taken will be PMC field team at PIU and submitted to PMU (Appendix 12). 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.

207. Based on monthly & quarterly reports and measurements, PMU will draft, review, and

submit to ADB, 6-monthly semi-annual Environmental Monitoring Report (EMR). Once concurrence from the ADB is received the report will be disclosed in the MPUDC and PMU websites.

208. 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

E. EMP Implementation Cost

209. 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.

X. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

210. The process described in this document has assessed the environmental impacts of all

elements of the infrastructure proposed under the Anjad Sewerage 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.

211. Mitigation measures have been developed to reduce all negative impacts to acceptable levels. These were discussed with specialists responsible for the engineering aspects, and as a result some measures have already been included in the outline designs for the infrastructure. Various design related measures suggested for: for efficient treatment, odour control at pumping stations, uninterrupted power supply provision; standard operating procedures for operation and maintenance; and imparting necessary training for ULB staff; providing necessary safety, no manual cleaning of sewers, and personal protection equipment for workers (protection against oxygen deficiency, harmful gaseous emissions) and sludge handling, and development of green buffer zone around the IPS, MPS & STP.

212. The site selected for STP is located on the outskirts of Anjad Town. Site is surrounded by agricultural lands, and there are no notable developments within 500 m of the site boundary. It is proposed developed 20-30 m buffer around the plant with in the STP boundary. Given the proposed SBR technology with low odour and low noise, there are no impacts envisaged. STP is located on the upstream side of town. It is because of non-availability of land on the downstream side. Efforts have been made to conceptualize scheme in the north of the town (towards Narmada River), but due to high fertile agricultural fields towards river, and no availability government lands, the STP site is selected in the south of the town. With this sewage is pumped to higher elevation from SPS to STP, and then the treated water flows through the town in a nallah to Narmada River.

213. It is proposed that treated wastewater from the STP will be discharge into a drain which joins Bhongli Nala. Bhongli Nala flows down for about 13.4 km from Anjad and meets Narmada River, a large perennial river. Given the proposed treatment process of SBR, and output quality more stringent than the STP disposal standards, no impacts envisaged on receiving water body. Monitoring will be conducted during the operation.

214. Sewage pumping stations likely to generate odour and may cause nuisance to nearby areas. Various site planning, green buffer and design related measures are included in the project to prevent and control odour generation. Site selected for IPS is located on the bank of Susad River near Susad Mohalla. A temple, government middle school and community hall is located about 50m away. It is proposed to develop 20-30 m width of green buffer around the IPS within the proposed site boundary, so the buffer between IPS and temple/school and residential area will be about 70-80 m. MPS site is located near (50 m) Army hotel (a restaurant) on the bank of Bhongli nala along the main road when moves towards Chota Bardha village 50m away from habitation. There is no notable development within 50m of MPS site boundary. It is outskirts of town. It is proposed to develop 20-30 m buffer around the MPS within the proposed site boundary. High compound wall will be provided around pumping stations.. Layout plan of IPS & MPS shall be devised in such a way that it will be farthest from habitation, besides various design and operation measures are also suggested to avoid / minimize odour generation, therefore no notable impacts envisaged.


192

215. All the project sites (STP and pumping stations) sites are situated on government owned

vacant land parcels, and sewers will be laid on the public roads. Therefore, subproject do not involve any private land acquisition.

216. STP malfunction or decrease in treatment efficiency will have adverse impacts. This will result in release of untreated or partially treated wastewater into river, and may cause public health issues. Besides measures to select an efficient treatment process to treat sewage, various measures are included in the design and operation phase to ensure that sewage system is operated and maintained with designed efficiency. Proper sludge management system to collect, treat and dispose safety will be developed and followed. Periodic monitoring of dried sludge to check suitability as a manure is suggested.

217. Except sewer works, all other construction activities will be confined to the selected sites, and the interference with the general public and community around is minimal. There will be temporary negative impacts, arising mainly from construction dust and noise, hauling of construction material, waste and equipment on local roads (traffic, dust, safety etc.,), mining of construction material, occupation health and safety aspects. Sewer line works will be conducted along public roads in the town with narrow and congested roads, subproject is likely to cause impacts during construction. Impacts mainly arise from the construction dust and noise; from the disturbance of residents, businesses, traffic by the construction work, safety risk to workers, public and nearby buildings due to deep trench excavations, especially in narrow roads, dust, access impediment to houses and business, disposal of large quantities of construction waste, etc. These are all general impacts of construction in urban areas, and there are well developed methods of mitigation that are suggested in the EMP.

218. Once the new system is operating, the facilities will operate with routine maintenance, which should not affect the environment. Improved system operation will comply with the operation and maintenance manual and standard operating procedures to be developed for all the activities.

219. Mitigation will be assured by a program of environmental monitoring conducted during construction and operation to ensure that all measures are implemented, and to determine whether the environment is protected as intended. This will include observations on- and off-site, document checks, and interviews with workers and beneficiaries, and any requirements for remedial action will be reported to the PMU.

220. Stakeholders were involved in developing the IEE through face-to-face discussions, on site meetings, which was conducted for larger public participation in the project. Views expressed by the stakeholders were incorporated into the IEE and 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 MPUDC, and ADB websites. The consultation process will be continued during project implementation to ensure that stakeholders are engaged in the project and have the opportunity to participate in its development and implementation. The project’s grievance redress mechanism will provide the citizens with a platform for redress their grievances, and describes the informal and formal channels, time frame, and mechanisms for resolving complaints about environmental performance.

221. The EMP will assist the project agencies and contractor in mitigating the environmental impacts and guide them in the environmentally sound execution of the proposed project. A


193

copy of the updated EMP/ 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.

222. The citizens of Anjad will be the major beneficiaries of this subproject. The new sewerage system will remove the human waste from those areas served by the network rapidly and treated to an acceptable standard. In addition to improved environmental conditions, the subproject will improve the over-all public health in the project area. Diseases of poor sanitation, such as diarrhea and dysentery, should 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.

223. Therefore, as per ADB SPS, the project is classified as environmental category B and does not require further environmental impact assessment. However, to conform to government guidelines STP requires consent to establishment (CTE) and consent to operate (CTO) from Madhya Pradesh Pollution Control Board. CTE will be obtained prior to construction, as the detailed design of STP will be undertaken by contractor. Subproject is proposed under design-build-operate contract modality, and therefore various suggested measures will be included during the detailed design.

224. This IEE shall be updated by PMU during the detailed design phase to reflect any changes, amendments and will be reviewed and approved by ADB.

A. Project Siting Is the project area…

▪ Densely populated? Subproject activities extend to the entire town including the densely populated areas . There are no major negative impacts envisaged, because sewer line will be located in unused government lands alongside the existing roads and can be constructed without causing disturbance to, houses , and commercial establishments. In narrow streets, disruption to road users is likely, and measure like bes t activity scheduling, alternative routes , prior information to road users , houses and s hops will minimize the impact to acceptable levels . The proposed STP site on the outskirts of the town and is away from human settlements approximately 400 meters from its premises. The proposed collector and mains alignment is similar to that of any small urban area and adequate provisions have been incorporated in to the project design to mitigate those are unavoidable. Also the proposed project will improve the environmental conditions and quality of life in that area.

• Impairment of historical/cultural monuments /areas and loss /damage to thesesites?

No

• Interference with otherutilities and blocking ofaccess to buildings; nuisanceto neighbouring areas due tonoise, smell, and influx ofinsects, rodents, etc.?

The sewer pipeline alignment has been designed as aburied conduit and access across the ROW shall not bedisturbed after completion of the works. Where pipelaying activities shall affect existing access roads,alternative crossings shall be provided during theconstruction period. Existing access roads shall berestored to their existing or better condition followingcompletion of the pipeline operations.

• Dislocation or involuntary resettlement of people

There is no resettlement of people for projectimplementation.

• Impairment of downstream water quality due to inadequate sewage treatment or release of untreated sewage?

There may be possibility of pollution of downstreamwater if sewage not adequately treated as per requiredstandards. An adequate design criterion is adopted forthe proper disposal of treated sewage as perCPCB/MPPCB norms without causing any impairmentto the downstream water quality

• Overflows and flooding of neighbouring properties with raw sewage?

There are chances of overflowing or flooding of sewer manholes if not adequately designed. All sewer linesare designed for the year 2048 peak flow and howeverthe flow is mainly depending upon the number of houseservice connections. Hence chances for overflowinginto the neighbour properties are less.

• Environmental pollution due to inadequate sludge disposal or industrial waste discharges illegally disposed in sewers

The system is designed for the collection and treatmentof domestic sewage only. It can be monitoredperiodically to avoid any illegal disposal of industrialwaste into the system. The collected sludge from STPin form of sludge cakes can be disposed at thedesignated site or used as manure. Utmost care should be taken for legitimate disposal of sludge during operation of STP. The best use of sludge can be to useas manure in agriculture as there are a lot of agriculturalfields near the STP site. This can also be a means ofrevenue generation for ULB. It is recommended tocheck all the possibilities of sludge use and disposalbefore start of operation of STP.


196

• Noise and vibration due to blasting and other civil works?

Blasting will not be done during excavation. Generationof noise during construction will not exceed normalemissions for general building construction activities. The contractor should ensure that there shall be nonoise problem to the residents. Nevertheless, thecontractor shall carry out noise measurements atfrequencies and locations to be agreed with theemployer’s representative and carryout measures to control it whenever and wherever needed.

• Discharge of hazardous materials into sewers, resulting in damage to sewer system and danger to works?

The sewer pipeline alignment has been designed as aburied conduit and hence chances for discharge ofhazardous materials into sewers are less. Also regularmonitoring programmes will be conducted.

• Inadequate buffer zone around pumping and treatment plants to alleviate

Adequate buffer zones as per guidelines will beprovided.

• Social conflicts between construction workers from other areas and community workers?

The contractor will be utilizing the local labour force asfar as possible; incase if it is unavoidabe, labour camps and facilities will be provided appropriately. No conflicts envisaged

• Road blocking and temporary flooding due to land excavation during the rainy season?

Access roads and alternative crossings should beprovided during the construction period.

• Noise and dust from construction activities

All the construction machineries employed will com ply with noise emission standards of Central Pollution Control Board. Dust suppression measures such as water sprinkling will be employed

• Traffic disturbances due to construction material transport and wastes?

There may be a moderate increase of traffic during the construction activities, which cannot be avoided. Also adequate measures will be taken to avoid traffic disturbances during the constructional phase.

• Temporary silt runoff due to construction

There is no considerable runoff could be caused during the constructional activities.

• Hazards to public health due to overflow flooding, and groundwater pollution due to failure of sewerage system?

Hydro testing will be carried out to all sewer lines and manholes as per CPHEEO manual.

• Deterioration of water quality due to inadequate sludge disposal or direct discharge of untreated sewage water?

Proper care should be taken before disposal of sludge. No direct discharge of untreated sewage should be done in to any water course. Sewage should be disposed after proper treatment as per CPHEEO Manual guidelines.

• Contamination of surface and ground waters due to sludge disposal on land?

Pre-study should be done before start of operation of STP for proper use/disposal of sludge. The collected sludge cakes can be disposed at the designated site as per MPPCB norms and also it can be used as manure.


197

• Health and safety hazards to workers from toxic gases and hazardous materials which may be contained in sewage flow and exposure to pathogens in sewage and sludge

Ventilation shaft will be provided at the trunk main and adequate safety measures are incorporated in the system design.

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

Yes No Remarks

Is the Project area subject to hazards such as earthquakes, floods, landslides, tropical cyclone winds, storm s urges, tsunami or volcanic eruptions and climate changes?

√ Semi-arid zone, unreliable rainfall, les s vegetation cover. Promote more efficient us e of water by reducing losses and wastage to counter increased demands due to higher temperatures.

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

√ Reduction in rainfall may affect the water availability from dam. Given the priority for drinking water supply, dead storage will be utilized in case of low rain fall years

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

√ No

Could the Project potentially increase the climate or disaster vulnerability of the surrounding area (e.g., by using water from a vulnerable source that is relied upon by m any user groups, or encouraging settlement in earthquake zones )?

√ No

Appendix 9: Sample Outline Spoils (construction waste) Management Plan

• The Spoil Management Plan should be site specific and be part of the monthly Construction Management Plan.

• The contractor, in consultation with the PIU, has to find out appropriate location/s for the disposal of the excess soil generated. The spoils should be deposited only at these sites.

• Further precautions need to be taken in case of the contaminated spoils • The vehicle carrying the spoil should be covered properly. • The spoils generating from each site should be removed on the same day or immediately

after the work is complete. The site / road should be restored to the original condition. I. Spoils information The spoil information contains the details like a) The type / material, b) Potential contamination by that type, c) Expected volume (site / component specific), d) Spoil Classification etc. II.

Documentation The volume of spoil generated (site specific, date wise), site disposed, reuse / disposal details should be documented properly.


213

Appendix 10: Sample Outline Traffic Management Plan

A. Principles for TMP around the Water Pipes Construction Sites

1. One of the prime objectives of this TMP is to ensure the safety of all the road users along the work zone, and to address the following issues:

(i) the safety of pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists travelling through the construction zone;

(ii) protection of work crews from hazards associated with moving traffic; (iii) mitigation of the adverse impact on road capacity and delays to the road users; (iv) maintenance of access to adjoining properties; and (v) Addressing issues that may delay the project.

B. Operating Policies for TMP

2. The following principles will help promote safe and efficient movement for all road users (motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians, including persons with disabilities) through and around work zones while reasonably protecting workers and equipment.

(i) Make traffic safety and temporary traffic control an integral and high-priority element of project from planning through design, construction, and maintenance.

(ii) Inhibit traffic movement as little as possible. (iii) Provide clear and positive guidance to drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians as

they approach and travel through the temporary traffic control zone. (iv) Inspect traffic control elements routinely, both day and night, and make

modifications when necessary. (v) Pay increased attention to roadside safety in the vicinity of temporary traffic

control zones. (vi) Train all persons that select, place, and maintain temporary traffic control

devices. (vii) Keep the public well informed. (viii) Make appropriate accommodation for abutting property owners, residents,

businesses, emergency services, railroads, commercial vehicles, and transit operations.

3. Figure A2 to Figure A12 illustrates the operating policy for TMP for the construction of water pipes and the sewers along various types of roads.

C. Analyze the impact due to street closure

4. Apart from the capacity analysis, a final decision to close a particular street and divert the traffic should involve the following steps:

(i) Approval from the ULB/Public Works Department (PWD) to use the local streets as detours;

(ii) Consultation with businesses, community members, traffic police, PWD, etc, regarding the mitigation measures necessary at the detours where the road is diverted during the construction;


214

(iii) Determining of the maximum number of days allowed for road closure, and incorporation of such provisions into the contract documents;

(iv) Determining if additional traffic control or temporary improvements are needed along the detour route;

(v) Considering how access will be provided to the worksite; (vi) Contacting emergency service, school officials, and transit authorities to

determine if there are impacts to their operations; and (vii) Developing a notification program to the public so that the closure is not a

surprise. As part of this program, the public should be advised of alternate routes that commuters can take or will have to take as result of the traffic diversion.

5. If full road-closure of certain streets within the area is not feasible due to inadequate capacity of the detour street or public opposition, the full closure can be restricted to weekends with the construction commencing on Saturday night and ending on Monday morning prior to the morning peak period.

Figure A1: Policy Steps for the TMP

D. Public awareness and notifications


215

6. As per discussions in the previous sections, there will be travel delays during the constructions, as is the case with most construction projects, albeit on a reduced scale if utilities and traffic management are properly coordinated. There are additional grounds for travel delays in the area, as most of the streets lack sufficient capacity to accommodate additional traffic from diverted traffic as a result of street closures to accommodate the works. 6. The awareness campaign and the prior notification for the public will be a continuous activity which the project will carry out to compensate for the above delays and minimize public claims as result of these problems. These activities will take place sufficiently in advance of the time when the roadblocks or traffic diversions take place at the particular streets. The reason for this is to allow sufficient time for the public and residents to understand the changes to their travel plans. The project will notify the public about the roadblocks and traffic diversion through public notices, ward level meetings and city level meeting with the elected representatives.

7. The PIU will also conduct an awareness campaign to educate the public about the following issues:

(i) Traffic control devices in place at the work zones (signs, traffic cones, barriers, etc.);

(ii) Defensive driving behaviour along the work zones; and (iii) Reduced speeds enforced at the work zones and traffic diversions.

8. It may be necessary to conduct the awareness programs/campaigns on road safety during construction.

9. The campaign will cater to all types of target groups i.e. children, adults, and drivers. Therefore, these campaigns will be conducted in schools and community centres. In addition, the project will publish a brochure for public information. These brochures will be widely circulated around the area and will also be available at the PIU, and the contractor's site office. The text of the brochure should be concise to be effective, with a lot of graphics. It will serve the following purpose:

(i) Explain why the brochure was prepared, along with a brief description of the project;

(ii) Advise the public to expect the unexpected; (iii) Educate the public about the various traffic control devices and safety

measures adopted at the work zones; (iv) Educate the public about the safe road user behaviour to emulate at the work

zones; (v) Tell the public how to stay informed or where to inquire about road safety

issues at the work zones (name, telephone, mobile number of the contact person; and

(vi) Indicate the office hours of relevant offices.

E. Install traffic control devices at the work zones and traffic diversion routes

10. The purpose of installing traffic control devices at the work zones is to delineate these areas to warn, inform, and direct the road users about a hazard ahead, and to protect them as well as the workers. As proper delineation is a key to achieve the above objective, it is


216

important to install good traffic signs at the work zones. The following traffic control devices are used in work zones:

• Signs • Pavement Markings • Channelizing Devices • Arrow Panels • Warning Lights

11. Procedures for installing traffic control devices at any work zone vary, depending on road configuration, location of the work, construction activity, duration, traffic speed and volume, and pedestrian traffic. Work will take place along major roads, and the minor internal roads. As such, the traffic volume and road geometry vary. The main roads carry considerable traffic; internal roads in the new city areas are wide but in old city roads very narrow and carry considerable traffic. However, regardless of where the construction takes place, all the work zones should be cordoned off, and traffic shifted away at least with traffic cones, barricades, and temporary signs (temporary “STOP” and “GO”).

12. Figure A2 to Figure A6 illustrates a typical set-up for installing traffic control devices at the work zone of the area, depending on the location of work on the road way, and road geometrics:

• Work on shoulder or parking lane • Shoulder or parking lane closed on divided road • Work in Travel lane • Lane closure on road with low volume • Street closure with detour

13. The work zone should take into consideration the space required for a buffer zone between the workers and the traffic (lateral and longitudinal) and the transition space required for delineation, as applicable. For the works, a 30 cm clearance between the traffic and the temporary STOP and GO signs should be provided. In addition, at least 60 cm is necessary to install the temporary traffic signs and cones.

14. Traffic police should regulate traffic away from the work zone and enforce the traffic diversion result from full street closure in certain areas during construction. Flagggers/ personnel should be equipped with reflective jackets at all times and have traffic control batons (preferably the LED type) for regulating the traffic during night time.

16. In addition to the delineation devices, all the construction workers should wear fluorescent safety vests and helmets in order to be visible to the motorists at all times. There should be provision for lighting beacons and illumination for night constructions.
