1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Overview

1. The Government of Karnataka (GoK) through the Karnataka Urban Infrastructure

Development and Finance Corporation (KUIDFC) has prepared the North Karnataka

urban Sector Investment Programme (NKUSIP) under the Asian Development Bank

(ADB) assistance. Seven ULBs have been considered for the Package II – Belgaum

under NKUSIP. They include Belgaum, Gokak, Nippani, Badami, Ilkal, Jamkhandi and

Rabkavi-Banahatti ULBs. The poor infrastructure facilities and services such as water

supply, sewerage and sanitation, storm water drainage, solid waste management and

risk of infectious diseases in the project area forces NKUSIP to select Badami ULB for

improvement. The primary objective of NKUSIP is to promote economic development

in North Karnataka through urban infrastructure provision, focusing on the

improvement of environmental sanitation and public health through equitable

distribution of urban basic services that are environmentally sound and operationally

sustainable. This will also enhances the quality life of people.

2. The aim of Investment Program is to improve the environmental condition of urban

areas. However, the proposed improvements of infrastructure facilities may exert

certain adverse impacts on the natural environment during construction and Operation

stages. Impacts during the construction stage are expected to be more severe than

impacts during the operation phase, though for a short duration. Most of the impacts are

activity-specific. Nevertheless, if due care is taken during the construction phase,

negative impacts due to investment Program will be far outweighed by positive impacts.

1.2 Environmental Regulatory Compliance

3. The environmental regulations and mandatory requirement for sub-components

proposed for Badami town are indicated in Table 1.1. The table indicates that as far as

GoI and GoK Acts/Guidelines are concerned, the proposed Investment Programs do not

need to go thorough environmental assessment process; however, as specified below,

few sub-project components may require consent from Competent Authorities.

4. According to ADB guidelines (2003), environmental assessment of a proposed project is

at the initial/preparatory stages of Investment Program. As per the ADB Guidelines, the

proposed project components are categorized into A, B or C category projects to

establish the level of environmental assessment needed to address potential

environmental impacts. It is understood from the IEE study that there are no significant

potential environmental impacts from the proposed Investment Program. Therefore, an

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is not required for this development project

(Category A is ruled out). However, the study reveals that there are less significant

impacts of the project on the environment and are of short duration. Therefore, only

Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) is required (Category B is considered).

Category ‘C’ is not applicable since IEE is required for the program components.

Hence, IEE has been carried out with identification of potential impacts and necessary

feasible mitigation measures with due importance given for sustainable environment.


KUIDFC 6 SPAN

1.3 Purpose of Initial Environmental Examination

5. The purpose of IEE in the urban improvement program sub-projects is to fulfill the

ADB’s environmental assessment requirement for sector loans. Owing to the scale and

nature of the proposed infrastructure components and environmental profile of the

NKUSIP sub-project towns, almost all Investment Program components are unlikely to

have adverse environmental impacts. Therefore, as per the ADB’s Environmental

Assessment Guidelines, the subproject components proposed in Badami city under

NKUSIP are categorized as ‘B’ and accordingly, initial environmental examination

(IEE) has been carried out.

1.4 Scope of IEE study

6. The IEE is one of the effective tools in the development project to implement the

required development activities in an eco-friendly mode. The IEE report has been

prepared based mainly on secondary sources of information and field reconnaissance

surveys; no field environmental monitoring survey was conducted. Stakeholder

consultation was an integral part of the IEE.

2. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVESTMENT PROGRAM COMPONENTS

2.1 Goal of NKUSIP Investment Program

8. The lack/inadequacy of certain basic facilities along with poor quality of environment

and life in northern part of Karnataka has forced North Karnataka Urban Sector

Investment Program (NKUSIP) to be initiated. The developmental goal of NKUSIP is

to provide financial assistance to ULBs for necessary basic facilities in Municipal

Corporations and to facilitate economic growth in the surrounding areas. The goal of

the NKUSIP is to enhance economic condition in ULBs through proper distribution of

urban basic services that are eco-friendly, techno-feasible and operation sustainable.

2.2 Investment program Components

9. The Investment Program Components are listed below:

i. Water supply

ii. Sewerage and Sanitation

iii. Storm water drainage (Drainage Up-gradation)

iv. Urban roads

v. Poverty Alleviation (Slum infrastructure improvement)

vi. Non-municipal infrastructure – Fire services, Lake Development and Tourism

2.3 Project Location

10. Badami town is situated at about 520kms from Bangalore, 113kms from Bijapur and

36kms from Bagalkot district headquarters. The town is taluka sub-divisional

headquarters in Bagalkot district. Badami town is a Grade III municipality. Badami is

bound by Bijapur district on the east, Badami district on the west, Gadag district on

12. Badami town is situated at the mouth of ravine between two rocky hills. The town is

located on the State Highway (SH-14) connecting Ramdurga-Hanugunda. Beside this

road, a network of major and minor roads leads to nearby towns like Bagalkot,

navnagar, Katgeri, Hospet, Gadag and Hubli. The town has location advantage of being

situated on the Sholapur-Gadag meter guage railway line connecting it to Bagalkot and

Bijapur.


KUIDFC 11 SPAN

13. Badami, Aihole and Pattadakkal (UNESCO promoted World Heritage Site) are most

important sites of archaeological and historical interest in the country. The Mallaprabha

River flows 8 km from Badami town. The Mallaprabha River is the main Source of

water supply to Badami Town. In addition Open wells and Bore wells are the

supplement in supply source.

2.4 Type of Project

14. The Project has been classified as service delivery typed project in which the project

improves health and quality of life of the people living in the project towns by

providing basic infrastructure facilities such as storm water drainage, etc.

2.5 Need for the Project

15. Insufficient basic facilities and demand for the same due to increased population year

by year and lack of proper technological systems in Badami TMC have resulted in

environmental pollution, poor sanitation and public health problems such as water

borne diseases and other associated health risks. This condition demands for the

proposed Investment Program component in Badami ULB. As per the State of

Environment Report (SOER), Dept. of Forest, Ecology & Environment, GoK, 2003,

ealth risks are associated with the lack of safe water supply and sanitation facilities. The

Table 2.1 presents the health status in Karnataka.

16. The structural components of the ingvestment program lie in the city area and most of

urban drainage lines of the proposed project passes along the existing road tracks and

leads to natural nallahs. As a whole, the project does not fall in any restricted areas,

wildlife national parks, and any other places where the law of the land prohibits any

construction activities. In addition, the scale of human settlement or human lives

affected because of project activities is quite insignificant.The Badami ULB specific

components of the program are given below:

2.6 Existing Condition of proposed Program Components in Badami TMC

2.6.1 Urban Drainage (Storm Water Drainage) System

17. Badami town is situated at midst of the ravine between two rocky hills. An annual

average rainfall is 600mm as against the normal rainfall 578mm. Heavy rainfall is

experienced between the months of August to September. The town slopes gently

towards the southern and eastern side converting in the valley running along the

periphery of the town. It ends in the river Mallaprabha on the eastern side at a distance

of 8 Km.

18. The existing storm water drains are of the open drain type with primary drains in the

form of natural nallahs and secondary and territory drains in the form of pucca and

kutcha drains. There are three primary drains viz., Nalla No. 1 (Adda halla), Nalla no.2

and Nallah No. 3. In addition secondary and tertiary Drains are also found in this town.


KUIDFC 13 SPAN

The storm water drainage in the town is predominantly open and extends to a length of

14 Kms. covering 15.38% of the total road length. The details of storm water drain are

given in Table 2.3.

Primary Drains

19. There are 4 primary drains in the form of natural nallahs. They are Nallah No. 1

(Addahalla) from Nave Ashraya Colony, Nallah No. 2 from Tippu Nagar and Nallah

No.3 from Mahalgatti Shivalaya.

20. Nallah No.1 (Adda halla): This is the main nallah of the town, which starts from

Ashraya nagar having ground level 590 m and end at the boundary of the town at

Ramdurg nagar having ground level 570 m. The total length of the nallah is 3.0Km.

The width of the nallah varies from 4.0m to 24.0m. It is silted heavily and lot of waste

materials are dumped / carried away and stagnated. Also sewer manholes are

constructed in the bed of nallah and projecting above the ground level. The nallah over

flows and indent the areas near the bank of Chalukya nagar on the east of nallah and

Janata plot slum and rest of nallah. The traffic flow was stopped during this monsoon at

Anand nagar due to the flooding of nallah crossing PWD road.

Fig. 2.2: Nallah No. 1 (Addahalla)


KUIDFC 14 SPAN

21. Nallah No. 2 from Tippu Nagar: This nallah width varies from 6.0m to 20.0m and

length of nallah is 0.30Km. It starts at Tippu Sulthan Nagar and joins with Adda halla.

This nallah passes through KSRTC bus stand, Uday vilas hotel, Sai nagar and

Chalukya nagar. From bus stand to Ramdurga circle and up to MLBS office, this nallah

has been constructed with stone masonry sidewalls and concrete bed. During the

KSRTC bus stand construction the flow was abruptly blocked and diverted through

roadside drain, which is very narrow. Because of the inadequate size of the drain water

over flows and stagnation noticed.

Fig. 2.3: Nallah from Tippu Nagar

22. Nallah No. 3: This nallah width varies from 3.0m to 18.0m and length of nallah is

1.50Km. This nallah starts at Mahalgatti Shivalaya and passes through Dr. Ambedkar

circle and joins with Adda halla near the Ramdurg road. Adda Halla joins Saraswathi

halla and eventually joining to Malaprabha River. The nallah bed is full of trees,

vegetation and debris.

Fig. 2.4: Nallah from Mahalgatti Shivalaya 23. In the initial reach houses are constructed at the nallah itself blocking the flow. At

market area a vent opening in the culvert provided is not sufficient to carry the flow of

nallah. Down stream of this area encroachment mad by the residents dwelling both

sides reduce the width of the nallah. Hence, flow get stagnated and flooded near by the


KUIDFC 15 SPAN

area. At the Dr. Ambedkar circle area vent opening provided is not sufficient to carry

the flow and hence flooding.

Fig. 2.5: Nallah near Dr. Ambedkar Circle

Fig. 2.6: Existing manhole in the Storm water Drain 24. All the above nallahs are natural streams, irregular in shape and carry both the

wastewater of the town and natural flow in their catchment. Total length of the primary

drains is 4.77 km while that of secondary and tertiary drains is 14.00 km.

Secondary and Territory drains

25. Secondary and territory pucca and kutcha drains are provided for the existing roads on

its both sides. The total length of the roadside secondary drains is about 69.20kms. The

built up open pucca drains are of 10.0kms length and are constructed with stone

masonry with concrete bed and rectangular shape. Open Kutcha drains (14.0kms in

length) are irregular in shape and most of them are damaged due to traffic problems.

26. All the drains eventually join adda halla, which joins Saraswathi halla at 6 km distance

from the town and ultimately meets Malaprabha River further 2.5 km away. Most of

the storm water (90%) drains into natural nallahs and (10%) open fields.

27. Most of the drains are choked up due to dumping of garbage and debris. Because of

lack of operation and maintenance of the system, most of the drains are in choked


KUIDFC 16 SPAN

condition. Particularly during rainy/flood season, drains located in the low-lying areas

are flooded with water. Some of the drains are damaged causing pollution in

surrounding areas. Ground water also is polluted due to seepage of sullage and

sewerage from the above drains. Urban drains are poorly maintained and thus blocked

by an accumulation of silt and uncollected municipal solid waste, causing water

logging and flooding in many areas. There is no proper attention and system to operate

and maintain drains. During monsoon choked up drains lead to overflow of wastewater

in surrounding areas, affecting people at low-lying areas. Public health is affected.

Roads are also getting damaged. This recommends for strengthening of the whole drain

system particularly in low-lying areas.

2.6.2 Slum infrastructure – Existing facilities

28. The Karnataka slum clearance board is responsible for notifying and upgrading slums;

and providing clearance and basic services to the urban poor residing in slums. The

objective is to identify essential issues in service delivery in Badami town and suggest

methods for improving the services.

29. In Badami, there is 1 declared and 9 undeclared slums. The total population in declared

slum and undeclared slum is 3037 and 5843 respectively. An estimated 10.13 percent

of the total population resides in declared slums. Slums occupy 3.89 Ha of area, which

is 1.03 percent of the total municipal area. While the declared slums located within the

city have been provided with all basic infrastructures with electricity, water and roads

but lack sanitation facility. Household sanitation is almost absent in all the slums

except in few. Community toilets are poorly maintained. The residents tend to defecate

in the open field.

33. b) Sewerage & Sanitation: Sanitation facility is poor in the slums. Household

sanitation is almost absent in all the slums except in few. Community toilets are poorly

maintained and the residents tend to defecate in the open due to lack of sanitation

facilities and improper upkeep of public conveniences. The Karnataka Slum Clearance

Board has constructed Community Latrines in all the slums but is unused due to non

availability of water and due to its pay & use policy. Due to the poor maintenance of

the toilets residents tend to defecate in the open, causing nuisance in the surrounding

area. The septic tanks are in pathetic condition and the effluent is left to open drains.

34. c) Roads and Drainage: All the declared slums are well connected with roads. The

main roads and the internal roads are of cement concrete. SSM and RCC precast drains

are provided on either side of the roads in slum. Under this programme, it is proposed

to provide WBM with Asphalt and concrete to existing roads, to provide new concrete

road and RCC drains wherever required.

2.7 Proposed Improvements for Program Components of Badami TMC

2.7.1 Urban Drainage System

35. The proposal for this project includes improvement of the natural nallahs and secondary

drains. If it is found necessary, the drains will be covered with slabs to avoid the

possibility of dumping of garbage and other solids largely. The drainage proposal for

Badami TMC is presented in Table 2.7.

c) Providing cross culverts at road crossings 4 Source: Concept Report

36. The drainage network is along the existing roads. No additional drainage line is

proposed, as existing lines will be used. No further difficulties in terrain and major

crossings are found along the drainage lines.


KUIDFC 20 SPAN

37. Disposal of silt and debris from nallah - Site clearance shall be ensured before

termination of work. The sludge, debris and silt shall be extracted manually during

cleaning, de-weeding and de-silting of drains, will be transported through mini trucks

immediately and disposed off at approved landfill sites or solid waste management site.

38. Badami town has partial underground drainage system. The provision of underground

drainage system for entire town will reduce or nullify the ground water pollution due to

seepage of sullage and sewerage from the existing urban drains. This component is

considered by KUWS&DB and the work is in progress. Therefore, it is not considered

under this programme.

2.7.2 Slum up-gradation

39. As per the inspection of Mahalgatti Shivalaya to Ambedkar Circle Slum and as proposed

in CLIP reports, it is proposed to upgrade existing roads, drains, UGD, water supply

distribution, community toilets and streetlights on priority basis. The following

proposals are made for up gradation of declared Slum identified in this programme:

i) Water Supply: Providing Public Stand Posts - 30 Nos.

ii) Sewerage and Sanitation: Providing Sewer connection to Community Toilets – 5 No.s

iii) One Chlorination Unit

iv) Urban Roads: Providing WBM and Asphalting to the Mud road of 180 mts and

providing new Concrete road to the existing Mud road of 245 mts and providing

concrete road over existing concrete road -200 mts

v) Urban drains: Construction of RCC drains of size 45cm x 75cm for 380 mtr, size of

45cm x 60 cm for 380 m and size of 30cm x 30 cm for 632 mts.

vi) Community Toilets: Construction of two Community Toilets.

vii) Streetlights: Providing street lighting to the 35 electric poles.

2.8 Proposed schedule for implementation

40. Implementation of the program is scheduled to be within a period of 6 years (FY 2009-

10 to FY 2015-16) as directed by KUIDFC. Program works to be completed during this

period include strict scheduling, monitoring and implementation on site.


KUIDFC 21 SPAN

2.9 Investment Program Alternatives

41. The environmental feasibility/suitability of proposed components of the Investment

Program has been studied based on the location and process/technology for the

components during construction and operation phases. The interaction and the level of

interference with the surrounding land use pattern determine the environmental

sustainability of the Investment Program components. However, the proposed

investment Program component is location fixed. No alternatives are required other than

the provision of Secondary open kutcha drains is based on gravity flow system.

2.10 Investment Program Benefits

42. The Investment Program benefits due to provision of storm water drainage are as below:

A. Urban Drainage Improvements

• Provision of Storm Water Drainage facilities

• Avoidance of regular choking of drains

• Prevention of road damage due to water flow from storm water drains

• Reduction in localized flooding, particularly in low-lying areas

• Reduction in long-term water logging condition

• Reduced percolation or seepage of drain water including sewage into the ground water

• Prevention of ground water pollution through increased run-off which dilutes

concentration of pollutants

• Protection of the water ecosystem

B. Other benefits

• Enhancement in archaeological and historical values of the project place especially

during important religious festivals

• Increased Cultural Values due to assemblage of people from multicultural background,

caste and ethnicity (characterized by its customs, traditions, culture, etc.)

• Improvement in quality of life

• Slum up-gradation by providing facilities such as water supply, underground drainage,

urban roads, urban drains, community toilets and street lights.

• Improvement in Tourism sector - Enhanced tourist flow and increased national income

3.3 Economic Development 56. Badami town is considered as an important center for tourism, agriculture, trade and

commerce. Agriculture is also one of the prime economic bases followed by tertiary

sector- industrial activities, mainly hotel industry. The major economic bases of people

are hotel industrial activities. Majority of the town’s population is involved in industrial

activities such as hotel industry. It is because Badami attracts tourists from all over the

country and world for its famous tourist spots like caves, ancient temples, etc.

town has experienced a constant population growth at an average decadal rate of 30%.

The town has experienced an above average population growth rate (33%) in 1981-91.

This increased population growth rate was due to the development of the town as a

regional market and witnessing of in-migration to the area.

59. Apart from this, there is daily floating population of about 6,000 as the town is the

nearest trade point for surrounding villages and an important tourist destination.

60. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of population is 2.61% in 1991-2001.

63. The total number of households is 6,300 as per 2001 census. The average household

size is 4.10, which is lower than the national average household size of 5.00 as per

Census 2001. The lower dependency ratio can be attributed to constant growth in

employment opportunities in the town triggered by growth in tourism, thus negating

chances of out-migration.

3.4.3 Sex Ratio

64. The current sex ratio (female population per 1,000 male population) in Badami town is

942 as per 2001 Census. The sex ratio in the town was found to be lower than the district

figure of 977 and at par with the state urban average of 940. The sex ratio of Badami

TMC has decreased drastically from 1,053 in 1971 to 942 in 2001. This is indicative of

the positive economic growth and population in-migration in the last few decades.

4. SCREENING OF POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND

MITIGATION MEASURES

4.1 Introduction

74. Urban development projects may cause negative impacts upon environment in many

different ways. The objective of this section is to identify those negative impacts that are

contextually possible in the project under consideration and to suggest the required

mitigation measures. The impacts anticipated from the proposed program may be on

Physical, Biological, Socio-economical and Cultural environment. Nevertheless, it must

be kept in mind that the impacts of project activities are not always negative, it may be

positive as well. The attempt should be to minimize the negative impacts by applying

necessary mitigation measures and to maximize the positive impacts. Based on the

severity and extent of impacts, the impacts may be classified as high, medium and low.

Care has been taken also to identify the prospects of positive impacts and of the

measures that are likely to enhance the quality of the given environment. The

environmental impacts of the Investment Program Components can be categorized into

location impacts, design impacts, construction impacts and operation impacts.

4.2 Location Impacts

75. The environmental impacts associated with site selection and those involving

loss/damage and/or encroachment of environmentally sensitive areas or archeological /

cultural / historical/ paleontaological sites/monuments, etc. It also includes impacts on

people- their livelihood or properties or any other related structures. The impacts may

be direct or indirect on such environments/people by the developmental programs. No

significant impacts can arise due to project location as the sites involving improvements

in the Program components do not pass through/near any environmentally sensitive

areas or any cultural/historical areas, etc.

4.3 Design Impacts

76. These are impacts due to Investment Program design including technology, scale of

operation/throughput, waste production, discharge specifications, pollution sources and

ancillary services. These may arise due to design interference with other utilities in the

same tranche, are considered to be of short duration and of negligible significance.


KUIDFC 30 SPAN

4.4 Construction Impacts

77. Several types of short term/temporary negative impacts upon environment may happen

during construction phase of the project, primarily due to negligent practices.

Construction impacts include impacts caused by site clearing, earthworks, machinery,

vehicles and workers.

4.5 Operation and Maintenance (O & M) Impacts

78. Operation and Maintenance (O & M) impacts include impacts arising from the

operation and maintenance activities of the infrastructure facility provided. They are

routine management of operational waste flow; occupational health and safety aspects.

4.6 Screening of potential environmental impacts

79. Screening of environmental impacts is based on the magnitude and duration of the

impact. The magnitude of the impact may be negligible/moderate/severe – in the order

of increasing degree and impact duration may be temporary/ permanent (Table 4.1).

Table 4.1: Screening of potential environmental impacts Duration of Impact Magnitude (Degree of Impacts)

Negligible (N) Moderate (M) Severe (S) Temporary (T) N/T M/T S/T Permanent (P) N/P M/P S/P

80. The Table 4.2 presents the magnitude and duration of all four types of possible potential

environmental impacts along with required mitigation measures for the proposed urban

drainage components for the Badami ULB including the proposed slum under NKUSIP.

Tables 4.3 and 4.4 present the magnitude and duration of all four types of possible

potential environmental impacts along with required mitigation measures for the

proposed slum up-gradation components (construction of water supply stand posts;

construction of community toilets and provision for sewer connection to community

toilets) under NKUSIP. The program components will have negligible/moderate and

temporary impacts, which can be mitigated by proper environment friendly measures.

89. To achieve the public consultation requirements of the Asian Development Bank, the

PC undertook extensive field visits and held detailed discussions with the public,

Government Departments such as Urban Development Board, Public Works

Department, Pollution Control Board, Karnataka Urban Water Supply and Sewerage

Board, etc. and TMC officials. Focus group discussions were involved in Public

consultation. Ample opportunities were ensured for the public to participate in the

design process of all the project components. A socioeconomic and perception survey

was conducted to provide a baseline for assessment of perceptions of residents on the

environment. Baseline information was collected by public consultation to ascertain

opinions on significant environmental conditions/features within the project area with

reference to project components and the merit or its rehabilitation.

90. During field visits, TMC officials (including the commissioner) and local people

(farmers, businessmen, Govt. officials, so on) were consulted to evaluate the present

situation of the project area environment and to establish necessary mitigation measures

for the project components. These consultations have given insight into the concerns

and requirements of TMC officials and publics with relation to implementation of

program components within the TMC area. These contacts provided an opportunity for

the local community to involve in the initial stages of the project activities. Table 6.1

below gives details of the Public Consultation.

drainage facilities for the regular flow of storm water,

urban road development providing proper connectivity

or links to important tourist places in and around

Badami town and slum improvement to provide

essential sanitary facilities in the town. All these can

enhance tourism flow into Badami town and

surrounding tourist places.

3 Will skin problems and health

risks be avoided in slum? Will

mosquito menace be stopped?

Yes. Communities must properly use UGD facilities to

avoid any water/wastewater related health problems.

Open faeciation must be completely avoided.

Grievance Redress Committee (GRC)

92. Grievances will first be brought to the attention of the implementing NGO. Grievances

not redressed by the NGO will be brought to the grievance redress committee (GRC)

established in each Investment Program district. The GRC process is designed to be

transparent, gender responsive, culturally appropriate and commensurate to the risks and

adverse impacts of the project, as well as readily accessible to all segments of the

affected people. Affected people are to be appropriately informed about the mechanism

through media and public outlets. This participatory process shall ensure that all views

of the people are adequately reviewed and suitably incorporated in the design and

implementation process.

93. A District Level Project Steering Committee (DLPSC) headed by the Concerned District

Commissioner (DC) has been established under the NKUSIP project vide GO: No N. A.

E. 45 PRJ 04 dated 18/06/04 for 21 towns. In addition to the functions of the committee,

Grievance redress was included as additional functions vide GO: No. N. A. E. 167 PRJ

05 dated 22/09/05 for the same towns and for the additional two towns of NKUSIP

Package II – Nippani and Ilkal, which were included. Later the DLPSC was established

along the function of grievance redress vide GO: No. N. A. E124 PRJ 2007, dated

29/11/07, hence a grievance redress mechanism is in place for the project.

7. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

7.1 Findings

94. The proposed Investment Program components have less significant (direct/indirect)

environmental impacts. Urban drainage component has no significant environmental

issues and the potential impacts of the component during construction phase are

negligible. The nature of the proposed project component, being community upgrading,

will fundamentally improve the urban environment. The overall environmental benefits

will outweigh any localized impacts.

95. The suitable Activity plans required for these construction and operation specific

impacts of all program components should be prepared by the ULB in association with

Program Consultants before construction phase and must be included in the Contract

Document. TMC and Contractors should implement these plans during program

construction and operation phases.

7.2 Recommendations

96. It is expected that the proposed project components have only minor, negative,

localized, temporary and less significant environmental impacts. These impacts can be

easily mitigated through adequate mitigation measures and regular monitoring during

the Design, Construction and Post Construction Phase of the project. It is recommended

that PMU should have monitoring responsibility in environmental issues of all program

components and to ensure the environmental sustenance of NKUSIP.

8. CONCLUSIONS

97. The proposed Investment Program is beneficial to the environment and the society. The

project falls under the Category B of ADB's Guidelines. From this IEE, it can be

understood that this Investment Program is of small-scale and does not cause any

significant adverse environmental impacts and so a full scale EIA is not required. It is

recommended that project can be implemented with proper mitigation measures to

protect the environment. Since the drainage component has very less significant impacts

on the environment REA checklist for the drainage component is not provided here.

This IEE with the recommended institutional requirement and environmental

monitoring plan becomes the completed EIA. This IEE for the proposed Investment

Program meets all the required environmental criteria for subproject selection in EARP.

Present status of the project study recommends only IEE for proposed project

components. Therefore, no separate EIA is required.
