Accelerated Development of Minor Irrigation

Environmental Codes of Practice

CHAPTER- 1

Introduction

Irrigation development in any agro-climatic zone of the State must be to make the best use of available surface and ground water in conjunction with land and human resources, as well as with all other essential inputs (energy, machinery, fertilizers and pest control measures) so as to enhance and sustain crop production. The selection of an appropriate irrigation technology for any given combination of environmental (both physico-chemical and biological) and socio-economic condition involves complex and sometimes conflicting considerations. Where water shortage is acute, the obvious overriding need is to raise the efficiency of water utilization. Where capital is short, the major requirement might be for an irrigation method with minimal dependence on capital investment or expensive equipment. In other cases, the deciding factor may be energy requirements or the possibility of installation of a participatory system to ensure sustainability of the irrigation method put in place. The source of water, the quality of land to be used for cropping and the drive of the beneficiary committees involved obviously rank high in determination of an appropriate irrigation methodology for any given site.

Since socio - economic considerations, along with bio- physical conditions and cropping patterns, are necessarily specific to each location, an irrigation methodology that may seem most appropriate in a particular agro-climatic zone for a specific site may not be so in another. Types, physical scale of subprojects, and the use of water resources will vary according the need of beneficiaries, site qualities and above all the feasibility of use of safe irrigation water.

A Code of Practice provides self imposed set of rules for carrying out a specific activity. There is no denial that the only sound approach to the development of an activity is through maintaining the integrity of the environment so as to make the activity sustainable. This code of practice has been prepared with the objective of addressing potential environmental impacts associated with implementation of sub-projects identified under the externally –aided program of ‘Accelerated Development of Minor Irrigation in West Bengal ’

Background

The Government of West Bengal through the implementation of the project embarks on a process of intensification and diversion of agriculture. The opportunities of expanding the cultivable area having been exhausted, the State Government feels that this is the only way of boosting agriculture growth and enhancing incomes for the rural poor. The existing cropping intensity is around 180% - the average of the practices in different

of 127

agro-ecological zones of the State. The target is to raise the level of raising the cropping intensity to the level of 200% in areas of 6 different agro-ecological zones primarily through input of minor irrigation supported by an appropriate cropping plan and balanced use of inorganic / organic fertilizer and optimal quantum of insecticide /pesticide. The sustainability of these minor irrigation schemes , the state government is confident will to a great extent depend on institutionalizing participatory irrigation management taking into account the specifics of traditions, socio-cultural parameters of farmers, and water user associations in different agro-ecological regions of the State. Program Content The program specifically aims at developing and or rehabilitating community- based minor irrigation systems on sound techno-economic, environmental and social principles. The execution of the program stresses on the strategy of conjunctive use of surface and ground water relying on the principles of equitable distribution of water keeping in view, in particular, the socially and economically disadvantaged groups amongst farming communities in project influence areas. This program of accelerated development of minor irrigation targets to bring in about 138901 ha of agricultural land under different types of minor irrigation. These types will broadly cover surface flow schemes, , water detention structures, river lift schemes (l medium and small). Ground water structures will have representation of MDTW, LDTW , shallow tube wells and pumped dug wells. The total no of schemes proposed to be developed and/or rehabilitated under the program have been kept at around 4460

Program Objectives The project development objectives include:

• Provision of minor irrigation facilities over an additional area of 138900 ha in 6 agro-ecological regions of the state through judicious and conjunctive use of surface and ground water.

• Raising the cropping intensity to 200% in CCA s proposed to be covered by the projects

• Strengthening community-based institutions like farmers’ associations, WUAs etc for facilitation of transfer of responsibilities for operation and management of such projects

• Adoption of best practices for technical design, construction quality and management of social and environmental aspects.

• Introduction of water saving technologies including ground water monitoring in the project area

• Provision of support services for intensification and diversification of agricultural systems and adoption of improved post-harvest technologies, purposeful and effective advisory services coupled with a higher degree of market integration

• Capacity and Institutional Development to strengthen the Water Resources Investigation and Development Department for better and effective handling of issues related to project management, management of communications and safeguard and taking up monitoring, evaluation and impact assessment activities.

Spatial Expanse of the Program

of 127

The program will be executed over the length and breadth of the State covering 18 districts. The project sites are dispersed over a large number of blocks spread in 6 major agro-climatic zones of the State. The distribution of blocks in different agro-climatic zones is furnished in the table below:

Agro-climatic zones Blocks and districts 1. Hill Zone Blocks Darjeeling and Jalpaiguri districts 2.Terai-Teesta Flood Plain

Blocks Darjeeling, Jalpaiguri, Coochbehar, and Uttar Dinajpur

3.Vindhyan Alluvial Zone Blocks of Uttar Dinajpur, Dakshin Dinajpur, Malda, Murshidabad,Birbhum,Paschim Medinipur, Purba Medinipur

4.Gangetic Alluvial Zone Blocks Uttar Dinajpur, Dakshin Dinajpur, Malda, Murshidabad, Nadia, 24-Parganas ( North), Howrah, Hoogly , Bankura and Bardhaman

Blocks of Barddhaman, Bankura, Paschim Medinipur, Birbhum, and Purulia

6.Coastal Saline Zone Blocks of 24-Parganas (North), 24-Parganas( South),Purba Medinipur and Howrah

Magnitude of activities associated with subprojects All subprojects are in general small. The tentative list of minor irrigation schemes proposed to be included reflect that three types of schemes namely surface flow schemes, river lift schemes and ground water structures will cover the bulk of the CCA proposed under the programme.

It is clear from the figures that river lift schemes will be the dominant type under this program and of this small river lift schemes will constitute the major component. It has also been confirmed by the project proponent most of the surface flow schemes will have CCA of maximum of 50 ha and water will be conveyed through gravity flows. Such surface flow schemes will primarily involve rehabilitation of the existing schemes with attendant expansion of CCA coverage. This makes it abundantly clear that

of 127

magnitude of activities associated with the construction and operation of the schemes are not likely to cause any significant adverse environmental impact especially when such subprojects will be screened through the screening criteria developed for the purpose of selection of subprojects for implementation. It is a fact that the implementation of subprojects will have large socio-economic benefits both on micro and macro scale. Such impacts will be conspicuous particularly when one or more types of these minor schemes get executed in clusters within restricted geographical area. Execution of these sub-projects when taken up in isolation at sites geographically widely separated may have negligible adverse impacts but when such executions are taken up in clusters in geographically restricted area may lead to some cumulative adverse environmental impacts which without proper environmental management measures may harm the receiving environmental surround of project execution.

CHAPTER 2

ENVIRONMENTAL CODES OF PRACTICE TO PREVENT AND MITIGATE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS ASSOCIATED WITH

IMPLEMENTATION OF ACCELERATED DEVELOPMENT OF MINOR IRRIGATION PROGRAM

2.1 Project Preparation and Design Stage

All sub-projects executed under the program will be handed over to beneficiary committee or water user associations for operation and management. It is therefore necessary that the selection of projects in different agro-climatic zones is guided by the demands arising from such committees and associations. The formulation of all sub-projects should be in consultation with the primary stakeholders and CBOs of such stake holders to facilitate execution and handing over to the identified beneficiary committees or their associations. This will be a necessary step for all types of the schemes included under the program in general and the schemes of surface flow, river lift and clusters of low capacity deep and shallow tube wells.

2.2 Rapid Environmental Survey

For gravity surface flow schemes, RLIs and cluster of groundwater structures, this survey has to done with the Rapid Environmental Checklist annexed to this Environmental Code of Practice. This Checklist needs to be filled up by the project implementation authority as the first step for proposing a sub-project for implementation. The area covered during this survey should be 3 to 6 times of the CCA of the subproject. For small isolated ground structures like shallow tube wells, light capacity deep tube wells, dug wells, tanks and mini RLIs or surface flow it should normally be 3 times whereas for medi/major RLIs or surface flow schemes the area covered should be 6 times or more of CCA depending on the environmental sensitivities of the project surround.

2.3 Consultation with local communities

Primary stakeholders and their groups need be consulted first about the sub-project to assess the need and acceptability of such subprojects to provide irrigation water to their cultivable fields in case the project is a new one. In case an existing project is proposed for rehabilitation, there should be a thorough consultation to identify factors responsible for failure or partial failure of such schemes. Local Panchyati Raj Institutions like the Gram Sabha, Gram Panchyat and their Panchayat Samities obviously need be roped in during such consultation. An interaction with Agriculture Development Officers and their Krishi Projukti Sahayaks operating in the project area of influence is absolutely essential for successful operation of the scheme as without their assistance, other inputs like seeds, insecticides, pesticides, fertilizers both organic and

of 127

inorganic may be difficult for procurement by the beneficiary farmers who will also require their active support in crop diversification and putting in place in the CCA the principles of Integrated Pest and Nutrient Management. It has been observed in many parts of the developing and developed world technical fixes without corresponding consultation and user participation are fraught with risks of failure.

2.4 Selection of a site

The selection of a site should primarily be guided by the screening criteria developed for screening of sub-projects as provided in Chapter 7 of the environmental assessment. However the following issues need be kept in view for site selection;

• There is demand from farmers for development of a subproject of minor irrigation

at the site and beneficiaries are willing to take over operation of such projects. Farmers with the support of the Agriculture Department are well disposed towards implementation of integrated pest and nutrient management

• The reservoir and water detention structures do not impact any wildlife protected area. Water bodies identified as habitats of good population of wetland birds or waterfowl should not be proposed for development of surface irrigation sub-projects under this program.

• Abstraction of water from water bodies coming under the definition of ‘debottar land ‘ need be religiously avoided unless the local communities permit use of such water voluntarily.

• The site should not encroach into the protected area around preserved archaeological monuments and historical sites.

• The proposed sub-project at the site normally should not involve any land acquisition

• In case of gravity surface flow schemes the catchments of the proposed reservoir should be reasonably free from signs of rilll, sheet or gulley erosion

• Signs of impeded drainage, water-logging or flooding normally be absent at the proposed site of reservoir/ water detention structures and the CCA.

• Construction of major access roads for haulage of materials for construction can be avoided for execution of the sub-project

• The magnitude of excavation works is manageable keeping in view the problem of disposal of solid waste in the immediate project surround.

• In case of river lift schemes , sites close to banks with signs of bank erosion normally should be avoided

2.5.1 Finalisation of the Rapid Environmental Checklist

After the site has been selected keeping in view the parameters, the REA will be filled up by the PIU with reference to the project area of influence. The subproject will be screened on the basis of the screening criteria developed to categorise them as low impact category or medium impact category projects. For low impact projects, the Generic Environment Management Plan will be part of the agreement to be entered with the Contractor selected for execution of the sub-project. For medium category sub-projects limited EA will be prepared taking guidance form the TORs developed for such projects and an Environment

of 127

Management Plan will be prepared for the purpose. The PIU, will have EAs prepared along with EMP with the help of AE (Environment) and the Environment Specialist located in the office of the DPMU.l If necessary, he may obtain obtain guidance in this matter from the Senior Environmental Engineer located at Project HQ. This EMP will be part of the bidding document for selection of Contractor for execution of sub-projects. The format for Rapid Environmental Checklist is given at Appendix I.

2.5.2 Obtaining permission / clearances for execution of sub-projects

As discussed earlier all subprojects will have CCAs limited to 50 ha. These sub projects will not attract provisions of the 2006 EIA notification of the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Govt. of India. Neither these subprojects will come under the purview of EIA guidelines of the State Government. However project execution may require permission on some issues under the regulatory framework of the State Government as brought out below:

• Permission for abstraction of ground water from competent authorities in

the State Water Investigation Directorate under the provisions of West Bengal Ground Water Resources ( Management, Control and Regulation) Act, 2005

• Permission for felling and removal of trees under the provisions of West Bengal Trees ( Protection and Conservation in Non-Forest Areas ) Act,2006: and West Bengal( Forest Produce Transit) Rules ,1959

• Permission from the State Pollution Control Board under the provisions of Water ( Prevention and Control of Pollution ) Act, 1974 amended in 1988 and rules made there under

• Permission from the State Pollution Control Board under the provisions of Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act,1981 amended in1987 and the rules made there under.

• Permission for opening of new quarries for collection of construction materials form competent authorities under the provisions of Mines and Minerals (Development & Regulation ) Act,1957 and rules made there under. Such permission will not be necessary if construction materials are collected from existing authorized quarries

• Permission for disposal of spoils at sites approved by the local authorities like the Panchayat Samities and the Municipalities

• Permission from the SWID the Irrigation and Waterways department for abstraction of surface water from flowing rivers/streams and for undertaking works of bank protection.

All regulatory clearances shall be obtained before actual commencement of the work by the selected contractor under the guidance of the PIU.

2.6 Construction Stage Activities

Construction stage activities will vary according to the type of sub-projects. These will be of smaller magnitude for all types of sub-projects having less than 40 ha CCA included under the program. Magnitude of activities will be comparatively larger in volume in case of subprojects having CCAs over 40 ha

of 127

2.7 Site preparation activities by the Contractor

After the site has been handed over to the contractor by the PIU, the contractor will be required to submit schedules and methods of operation of various items during the construction stage for approval by the PIU. He shall also take care to keep the local communities and the Gram Panchayat informed. The contractor shall take up execution only on approval of schedules by the PIU. During site preparation activities, following norms should be observed.

• The clearance of site shall involve removal of all materials such as trees, shrubs, roots, part of top soil and rubbish. The measures to be adopted by the contractor will include measures like limiting the surface area of erodible earth material exposed by clearing and grubbing and conservation of top soil and stock piling the same for future use.

• All trees above 30cm bhg requiring removal shall be inventorised prior to taking up clearing and grubbing operation

• To minimize adverse impact on flora and vegetation cutting of trees and vegetation will be restricted to the minimal area required for construction

• The location for disposal of grubbing will be finalized well ahead of the date of actual construction works at the site. Where erosion or sedimentation is a problem, grubbing operations should be so scheduled so that erosion / sediment control plan can follow grubbing operations.

• Use of blasting for rock cutting will only be resorted to if absolutely necessary. This has to be carried out in such a manner so as to ensure that it does not destabilize slopes and initiates movement of rock mass. All precautions need be taken to avoid damage to any public or private properties. Proper dissemination of information amongst the communities has to be ensured and warning signs put up.

2.8 Construction camps

Most of the sub-projects may not require establishment of camps. But some having CCAs above 40 ha may require establishment and operation of small camps for short to medium duration. Camps, if necessary, shall be set up and operated under the norms listed below.

• The siting of the camp should be decided in consultation with the land owners in case of private lands and in case of community lands or vested lands, this should be done in consultation with the revenue department officials, Gram Panchyat and the identified beneficiaries.

• Selection of campsites should avoid lands under village and private social forestry plantations, lands within 100 m of water bodies and water courses, irrigated agriculture lands, and lands close to habitations. Preferably vested waste lands or un-irrigated lands of willing owners should be used.

• The plan of the camp site, the features of development and a plan for restoration of the campsite will require the approval of the PIU.

• Construction camps should be maintained free from litter and in hygienic condition. Waste water from such camps should not be

of 127

disposed into water bodies. All waste water and solid waste from camps need be disposed of safely.

• The contractor shall take due care to get all camp facilities dismantled from the site and remove the same after completion of the work. All actions to restore the campsite back to its original state have to be assured

• Proper sanitation facilities have to be provided at campsites along with facilities for first aid.

2.9 Identification of material sources

Execution of new projects or rehabilitation/ upgradation of existing projects will require material resources like earth, boulders, stone aggregates of different specifications, sand, cement, bricks, GCI sheets, and different types of pipes of required sizes etc. In case of surface water schemes the volume of activities requiring material resources like boulders, earth, stone aggregates, cement, and conveyance pipes will be much larger than other types of subprojects. Therefore, there should be norms laid down for procurement of raw materials to ensure minimal environmental impact. The following norms are suggested to achieve this objective.

• All construction materials like boulders, stone aggregates and sand should be procured as far as possible from existing operational quarries in the project catchments.

• Borrow pits should be opened only on non-cultivable lands with the permission of the competent authority in the Land and Land Reforms Department and such lands need be identified in consultation with local communities

• In case of procurement of materials from stone crushing plants, it should be verified that such plants are operating with valid permits and pollution control measures as mentioned in the permit are in force. Such crushing plants also should be taking good care of the health of worker through provision of personal protective equipments to their workers and regular health check-up.

• Procurement of asbestos pipes or roofing material are to be religiously avoided.

• Earth required for construction of embankments may be procured preferably through desiltation and excavation of existing water bodies at the site of reservoir or in the project surround to add to the existing capacity of surface storage thereby adding to recharge potential in the area of influence of the subproject

2.10 Transportation and storage of construction materials

Transportation of materials over long leads for construction adds to the problem of pollution. Therefore there has to be conscious effort to locate bulk of construction materials within a reasonable lead. Long leads result in higher consumption of fossil fuels; add to fugitive dust emission and some green house gases. Local procurement of material may reduce the problems of fugitive dust,

of 127

gaseous pollution and saving of fossil fuel. In this context, the following norms need be adhered to.

• Construction materials as far as possible may be procured to ensure that haulage of such materials through transport fleet do not normally involve a lead of more than 100km.

• Construction of long access roads or haulage roads has to be discouraged because of environmental and cost implications.

• All materials have to be transported with proper cover to prevent littering and generation of dust.

• Such transportation should avoid busy congested routes and hours • Materials like earth, sands, cement and fuel and lubricants should not

be stacked near water courses. Areas should be demarcated and properly paved for hazardous stores like fuel, lubricants and bitumen where necessary.

• All hazardous substances like fuel, lubricants, etc should be stored on paved platforms

• Earth should be stacked to ensure that side slopes do not exceed 1:2 (vertical to horizontal) and the height is limited to 1.5 meters. Sand heaps should be peripherally bunded to avoid spill into the surrounds.

• Al hazardous materials stored need be properly labeled for information of the workers at site and the local communities.

2.11 Soil erosion and sediment control

Any construction activity involving excavation and construction of earthen embankment may set in process of accelerated erosion and sedimentation. Some subprojects of surface flow and water detention structures included in the program have the potential of creation of such situations. The norms suggested below may reduce the severity of this problem and keep the impact at acceptable level.

• No excavation involving removal or handling of substantial quantum of earth shall be undertaken during the rainy season.

• Slopes of constructed embankments need be sodded with turf grass or properly seeded during the wet season following such construction. Planting of suitable creeper cuttings like Ipomea biloba ahead of pre-monsoon showers may help in stabilization of slopes

• Making of small terraces on slopes supported by planting of suitable grass slips will go a long way in soil erosion control and reducing the rate of siltation. This will also help in ground water recharge.

• For steeper and fragile slopes spread of geo-textiles of suitable mesh supported by planting of grasses will be more appropriate for the purpose

• For control of gulley erosion in the immediate area of catchment of reservoir in surface flow schemes vegetative checks supported by minor engineering structures either of rubble masonry or gabion type need be made use of to have the desired result of reduced rate of soil erosion

• All dismantled debris and excavated spoils should be properly stacked away from the water bodies and water courses.

of 127

• Whenever blasting has to be taken resort to, use of only controlled blasting with right quality and quantum of explosives should be ensured

2.12 Water quality

All subprojects of surface flow schemes and water detention structures will be exposed to degradation of water quality. To avoid this or to reduce the possibility of contamination of ground and surface water the following norms need be adhered to.

• A protocol of storage of all wastes both hazardous and non-hazardous away from the water bodies and water courses has to be put in force

• Similarly a protocol for control of soil erosion and sedimentation has to be implemented to prevent increased turbidity of surface water.

• All hazardous materials like fuel and lubricants should be stored in safe containers on paved platforms to avoid spillage and leakage leading to contamination of surface and ground water

• All waste water from construction camps should be directed away from the water courses through a properly laid drainage system

2.14 Flora and fauna

No sensitive areas like protected areas of wildlife sanctuaries, national parks, wetlands with rich biodiversity and reserved and protected forests will be impacted through the operation of the site selection criteria adopted in the Environmental Code of Practice. All trees removed during the process of clearing at site will be more than compensated through plantation with double the number of trees removed under the operative regulatory framework of the State. All embankments associated with subprojects will be enhanced with plantation of site matching trees in consultation with communities. Such tree plantations will be monitored intensively during the first two years after creation to ensure survival of at least 80% of the number planted.

2.15 Air quality

During the construction phase the air quality impact may be only felt in the construction area because of operation of the plant and machinery and the movement of vehicles transporting construction materials. The mitigation measures will include ensuring that all such equipments carry valid pollution under control certificates and the transportation fleet avoids travel through congested routes during busy hours. All haulage roads will require to be kept wet through sprinkling of water at required intervals. All construction materials like earth, sand, stone aggregates etc will be transported properly covered to avoid littering and dust dispersion. Operation phase of the projects has to ensure

of 127

that DG sets used to operate irrigation installations conform to CPCB/SPCB standards and the pump house is located at least 250m away from settlements.

2.16 Noise level

Almost all subprojects will be sited in a rural or a semi-urban environment and the noise level in such surrounds will be impacted during the construction phase through the working of construction plant and machineries and plying of the transport fleet. Construction sites in the case of surface flow and river lift schemes will generally be away from settlements and sensitive receptors. The working hours need be limited between 7am and 7 pm and all sensitive receptors coming within 100m of the construction site will be provided with an improvised portable sound barrier. All equipments must conform to CPCB standards set for noise level and provided with mufflers. During the operation phase diesel generators properly muffled and conforming to CPCB standards may be housed in a sound proof room.

3.0 Incorporation of Environmental Management Requirement in the Bidding Document

While preparing the biding document, the PIU has to ensure that: • The Generic Environmental Management Plan and Environmental

Management Plan are made as appendices to the biding document in case of low and medium impat category projects respectively.

• The bidding document has specific requirement for the contractor (i) to implement all mitigation measures to minimize environmental impacts during the construction phase.

• The contractor also shall have the responsibility of restoration of campsites; borrow pits and quarries opened up for procurement of materials at the stage of decommissioning.

Annexure- VIII

CHAPTER 3

Environmental Monitoring Plan for Accelerated Development of Minor Irrigation Program

3.1 Need for Monitoring

Types of sub-projects selected through screening criteria for execution will have minimal environmental impacts. This is true for low impact category projects in particular. Impacts in case of medium category projects have been dealt with in details in Chapter 8 of the main volume of the environmental assessment and a monitoring plan has been drawn up in the Annexure on TOR for limited EA for this category of projects. The Environmental Code of Practice will therefore deal with the low impact category projects which will outnumber the medium category projects by a very large margin.

In view of the magnitude of volume of works involved in low impact category projects, impacts will be managed through the norms of the ECoP and the mitigation measures suggested in the Generic Environmental Management Plan.

3.2 Steps in monitoring

The first step in monitoring will be the implementation of mitigation measures as included in the GEMP developed to ensure that the execution of sub-projects does minimally affect the environmental parameters in the project surround both during the construction and the operation phase.

The second step will be the monitoring of key environmental parameters to asses the effectiveness of mitigation measures suggested in GEMP to avoid contingent situations arising in future because of commissioning of the subprojects.

3.3. Monitoring of Mitigation Measures

Monitoring obviously has to be undertaken during the phase of preconstruction/construction as well as the initial years of the operation phase.

In the pre-construction phase monitoring should lay stress on the following issues:

• Siting of the project with reference to criteria as suggested against ECoP

2.4. • Establishment of construction camps and storage areas keeping in view the

provisions under ECoP 2.8 , 2.9 and 2.13

• Site preparation works have to be monitored primarily with reference to ECoP provision unde2.8

of 127

Construction stage activities will revolve around procurement of raw material from identified sources , their transportation and storage to the site of construction and undertaking construction of intake, head works , water detention structures , pump house, distribution towers, laying of conveyance pipes with attendant spouts , construction of surface channels for distribution etc . Construction activities will also include excavation and construction of embankments. All these activities will generate some adverse impacts mitigable with provisions of the Generic Environment Management Plan in case of low impact category projects In case of medium category projects, mitigation measures of sub-project specific Environment Management Plan will require to be implemented.

Monitoring during construction stage has to focus on the following;

• Procurement , transportation and storage of materials: Such activities need

be monitored with reference to ECoP provisions 2.10 and 2.11

• Erosion and sediment control: This may be an issue in gravity surface flow projects of medium and major category and this activity has to be guided by the norms as prescribed under ECoP provision 2.12

• Water Quality: This will be an important issue for all ground water and surface

water projects particularly in cases where such subprojects get located in an existing surround of intense agriculture development or located close to industrial and urban areas. As many of the subprojects will also get located in identified blocks affected by arsenic and fluoride , there is need to create benchmarks for water quality criteria before taking up implementation of such sub-projects. ECoP has prescribed norms under 2.13 for prevention of degradation of water quality.

• Flora and fauna: This will be a minor issue for low impact category projects.

ECoP 2.13 deals with compensatory plantation on identified lands in the project influence area as per guidelines of the regulatory framework of the State.

• Air Quality: ECoP under 2.15 has suggested measures for control of air

pollution. This impact will be localised, temporary and low.

• Noise level: ECoP 2.16 specifies mitigation measures; This impact will also be low, localised both during the construction and the operation phase.

Decommissioning and operation phase monitoring activities will concentrate on;

• Closure and rehabilitation of borrow pits and quarries opened up for the

project • Closure and rehabilitation of construction camps opened up at the project

site • Monitoring of environmental quality parameters like water quality, siltation

rate at the reservoir site

of 127

Monitoring of environmental quality be carried out during the construction and operation phase Environmental parameters to be monitored, their sites and frequency and responsibilities of carrying out such monitoring are detailed in the following table. In case SPCB while granting ‘consent to establish‘ specifies some additional parameters, they will also require to be monitored as per SPCB guidelines.

Annexure IX

TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR LIMITED EA OF MINOR IRRIGATION PROJECTS UNDER THE ACCELERATED DEVELOPMENT OF MINOR IRRIGATION PROGRAM

The program targets execution of subprojects of minor nature as the maximum CCA that the subprojects under surface flow or river lift irrigation schemes has been kept at the level of 50ha and 40ha respectively. . This when considered in the context of the definition of minor irrigation projects where this limit has been kept at 2000 ha in the country /state, clearly reflects that most of the sub-projects will involve rather low magnitude of construction activities. This is more so as the subprojects will in general have CCAs limited to 50ha. Screening criteria have been developed for categorisaton of subprojects as low and medium impact category. Limited environmental assessment will have to be taken up only for such subprojects where medium impact category subprojects will have some environmental sensitivities on the criteria like groundwater availability status, arsenic/fluoride contamination , surface water quality, impact of downstream users/riparian habitat and presence of ecologically/culturally sensitive issues. Limited EA will comprise the following sections in conformity with World Bank guidelines.

• Executive Summary. • Policy , Legal and Administrative Framework • Subproject objectives • Description of the subproject • Analysis of alternatives • Anticipated environmental impacts and mitigation measures • Environmental Management Plan Key outputs of such a limited EA will deal with issues as laid out in the following table;

Subproject objectives and description

Objectives will describe the need in the local context and the strategy at the block and district level. Project description will touch upon issues like;

• Physical location and area of influence • Implementation program including the schedule of works • The source of irrigation water

Baseline data Baseline data will sharply bring out the data on: • Hydrology and hydrogeology • Water quality( CPCB parameters, arsenic/ fluoride in case of blocks

affected, heavy metals as necessary, Nitrate-N, Pesticdes etc) • Existing landuse in the project area of influence • Soils • Ecological sensitive habitats in the project surround • Cultural and historic sites • Social sensitive issues

Most of the information has to be compiled through a rapid reconnaissance of the area of influence, secondary documents at the district and block level and interaction with the concerned officials of the Department. Some issues like water quality may require assessment through approved laboratories.

of 127

Identification of environmental impacts and mitigation measures and devising mitigation measures

Impact identification should cover physical, biological and socio-cultural element in the project surround. Stake holder consultation will be a necessary step in impact identification process. The exercise should look into the following issues carefully:

• Water resources • Water quality • Land and soil resources. • Wetlands and other ecologically sensitive areas • Public health and • Cultural and historical sites

Impacts due to project location, construction and operation should be considered. Engineering design plans should adopt best practice plans to make sure that potential adverse impacts are reduced to acceptable level. Cost-effective and feasible mitigation measures may be suggested to reduce potentially significant adverse environmental impacts to acceptable levels. Each of such measure shall be briefly described with reference to the impacts to which they relate and the conditions under which these are required.

Analysis of alternatives

Analysis of alternatives of sub-projects should be done on primary environmental, techno-economic and social criteria and this may also include the no action situation As far as environmental criteria are considered , use of water resources both surface and ground water need be considered where both resources are fit for use.. Use of surface water resources need be preferred if the two alternatives meet the objectives equally without affecting the scale of investment.. In some specified agro-climatic zones, depending on the ground water availability status, abstraction of ground water may be preferred to reduce the intensity of waterlogging and flooding.

Environmental Management Plan

Environmental Management Plan will primarily deal with management measures to be implemented during the construction and the operation phase. Such EMP will have three components namely the Mitigation Component, Monitoring Component and the Institutional Component.

Mitigation Component will summarise the identified adverse environmental impacts and identify feasible and effective mitigation measure. This will specify the condition (continuously or in the event of contingencies) under which a mitigation measure is required. If mitigation measures bring in its wake some secondary impacts, their significance will require evaluation.

Environmental Monitoring Component will address all important issues. These may include water resources (water balance particularly where a number of subprojects get selected for execution within a small geographical area), soil and water quality (salinisation, arsenic/ fluoride contamination, heavy metal, Phosphate Nitrate concentration etc). Vector-borne diseases, parasites and health of the people in the project surround will be monitored. Parameters of monitoring including their site, frequency, duration, agency etc shall be specified. General monitoring parameters are furnished at attachment –I.

Institutional Component will comprise the following elements;

• Responsibilities for the management by the irrigation and the agriculture sector

• Responsibilities for monitoring of water quality,, water balance and

of 127

related management issues and their enforcement • Responsibilities for management of health impact • Identifying needs for capacity building and training
