IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FORIWT PILOT PROJECT

1 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND

This report is concerned with the practical aspects of implementation of all major waterwayimprovement components of the Inland Water Transport Pilot project. The entire programmeforms part of the Phase-I KSTP project. The report has been prepared to address alluncertainties and missing links identified by the World Bank team after (1) the ESAMP reportsubmitted earlier in June 2002 and (2) subsequent WB mission in July-August 2002. Inaddition to the World Bank team from Delhi, the Regional Safe Guard Coordinator, SouthAsia, was also participated in the team as head of the mission. During the visit, the missionteam also visited the Alappuzha-Kottayam canal for understanding the ground situation. Thisis a revised report of the IWT Implementation Plan incorporating all World Bankobservations on the draft document submitted to WB in September 2002.

2 NEED FOR AN IWT PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION PLAN

The WB aide memoire dated August 21, 2002, clearly identified each item, which requireimmediate attention to evolve a practical approach that can be implemented. Theimplementation plan prepared will be a 'supplement' to the ESAMP report submitted earlierin June 2002. Few activities have been dropped and some new items have been included. Theprovision in the BOQ has been revised subsequent to these changes in the ESAMP. In thisway the ESAMP document remains as the base document with all subsequent changesmentioned in this document. The ESAMP and the implementation plan documents will bepart of the contract documents.

3 FOLLOW UP ACTION

The GOK and the KSTP Project Management Team (PMT) and the Project CoordinatingConsultants (PCC) have taken a number of measures subsequent to the submission of thisdocument. The institutional aspects are separately discussed under a different heading.

1. A meeting with IWAI regarding a matching terminal arrangement with IWT proposalshave been conducted at Kochi on August 12, 2002. The draft minutes of meetingcarried out with IWAI official at Kochi is enclosed as annexure-1.

2. The involvement of the engineers from Water Resources Department (WRD) for thedredge disposal arrangements including land identification for mass balance (dredgingversus disposal) of the dredge materials.

3. Reconstitution of the Task Force and a meeting convened immediately after thepreparation of an implementation plan on October 11, 2002. The annexure-2 is theGO for Task Force reconstituted under vide G.O (Rt) No: 11/2002/CSIND TVMdated 7-9-2002.

4. A technical session has been conducted on October 10, 2002 for the water hyacinthmanagement to control excessive growth of waterweeds during the operational periodof IWT pilot project. This has enabled the government to use various research inputin to the IWT pilot component. For this session very important resource persons inthe field have been invited and their ideas and concepts discussed with a select groupof experts.

3.1 INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS

The intuitional aspect of the project implementation is provided in figure 1.0. The variousinstitutional arrangements are spread over to three layers of involvement. The parentorganisation i.e., the Water Resources Department (WRD) at the State level, the ProjectManagement Team (PMT) at Project Implementation Level at Thiruvananthapuram and theIWT execution level at Kottayam are the three levels of involvement.

3.1.1 WATER RESOURCES DEPARTMENT

The Secretary, Water Resource Department (WRD) is also a member of the KSTP projectlevel Steering committee, which will be taking all policy decisions. As a State level organisationwith the Chief Engineer (WRD) stationed at Thiruvananthapuram, the department will beassisting PMT to address all institutional difficulties such as interagency linkages and toresolve interdepartmental conflicts if any arising during pre-construction, construction andoperational level.

3.1.2 PROJECT MANAGEMENT TEAM

The Superintending Engineer, Executive Engineer and Assistant Engineer forming part of theIWT team in the PMT. They have been deputed from the WRD to coordinate theimplementation of the IWT component. They will be responsible for the implementation ofthe ESAMP & IP. The Environmental Engineer and Sociologist of the Project ManagementTeam will provide support to the IWT team to ensure that the environmental and socialaspects of the IWT component are implemented.

3.1.3 IWT DIVISION AT KOTTAYAM.

The IWT division will be headed by an Executive Engineer at Kottayam. There would be oneAssistant Executive Engineer supported by nine assistant engineers. The division is exclusivelyfor the implementation of the Inland Water Transport Pilot Project. All the staff has beenidentified. The institutional arrangements for IWT division at Kottayam are to be in place twomonths before the commencement of the construction. As the construction is expected tostart in April 2003 the Kottayam division will be formed by first February 2003.

3.1.4 IMPLEMENTATION ARRANGMENTS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIALASPECTS

The Contractor will be implementing the ESAMP & IP. These form a part of the contractdocuments. The Waterways Specialist of the supervision consultants will be supervising theimplementation of the ESAMP & IP. From the Kottayam division, three assistant engineers(one per canal) will be responsible for the supervision arrangements during the projectimplementation stage. The three Assistant engineers will be reporting to the AssistantExecutive Engineer/Executive Engineer will be monitoring the over all progress of theimplementation of ESAMP & IP recommendations.

3.1.5 CAPACITY BUILDING AND TRAINING.

The training programme will be organised during February 2003 at Thiruvananthapuram.

3.1.6 FIELD VISIT AND TRAINING.

A field-training programme will be organised to Sultan's canal at Kannur during February2003 (five days). All experts, contractors, consultants etc related to the Sultan's canal wouldbe invited for the session. The PCC and PMT will organise the field visit and training session.A visit to National Water way (NW-III) where dredging operations have been currentlyunder taken will also be considered within the five days programme.

3.2 TASK FORCE

The Task Force have been reconstituted with additional members from other departments.Some of the members mentioned by name in the earlier list of Task Force members, retiredfrom service have been removed. A meeting of the reconstituted Task Force have beenconvened on October 11, 2002. The Government order and the Terms of Reference (TOR)prepared for the meeting are enclosed for reference as annexure-2. The "Agenda notes'prepared for the meeting is provided in annexure-3 and minutes of the meeting provided inannexure-4.

Based on the follow up action by the PMT, WRD and PCC, the second session of the TaskForce will be held with the following issues for clarification and approval.

*> Real necessity of bathing ghats

* Dredge disposal, fool proof method for implementation

A formal approval of the revised implementation plan (November 2002).

Louis Berger International/Sheladia/CES/ICT 6


Proposal for water hyacinth management based on the decisions of the last meetingwill also be discussed.

3.3 CITIZEN ADVISORY COMMITTEE

The Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC) for the IWT will be formed in February 2003 withsupport from NGO. The committee will meet once in six months and as and when required.The committee will provide advice, support and guidance to the Kottayam IWT division andthe NGO. The Government order No GO (Rt) No.976/2002/PWD dated 23.10-2002 forthis has been issued as provided in annexure-5.

3.4 CONSTRUCTION SUPERVISION CONSULTANTS (CSC)

The supervision consultants for the IWT work have been identified. Arrangements have beenmade to include an additional position of Waterway Specialist proposed by the Bank missionin July-August 2002. The Waterways specialist will supervise the implementation of the IWTcomponent including the ESAMP & IP recommendations.

3.5 CONTRACTORS

The appointment of contractors will be completed by March 2003. The contractor is alsorequired to have an environmental position in their team. The procedures for theappointment of contractors will be started as soon as the implementation plan prepared bythe project has been approved and the BOQ and other contracting documents have beenfinalised (expected in November 2002).

3.6 NON GOVERNMENTAL ORGAINISATION (NGO)

Although there are no land acquisition and no Resettlement Action Plan prepared for theIWT component of the Project, the involvement of a Non Governmental Organisation hasbeen planned from the very beginning stage. The NGO will assist for all activities as andwhen required especially for the Public Awareness Programme (Refer section 4.2 for moredetails). The NGO selected for Alappuzha-Changanaserry highways component will addressall environmental and social work for the IWT pilot project. The NGO will assist in variouscommunity consultation requirements regarding the water hyacinth disposal, dredge disposalplan, bathing ghat arrangements etc. The Terms of Reference (ToR) for NGO have beenalready part of the appointed NGO contract. The document has not defined the nature ofwork related to IWT pilot component. Therefore, the Implementation plan prepared forIWT, as a part of ESAMP defined the works related to IWT component. This is enclosed asannexure-6. This will be part of the TOR prepared for the NGO's.

3.7 PUBLIC DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION

Immediately after obtaining the World Bank approval on the Implementation Plan (lP) forthe IWT pilot project, the KSTP will disclose all documents in the Nedumudi and Kavalampanchayath offices and also in the public information centre at Kottayam and Alappuzhadistrict collectorates. The executive summary prepared earlier in Malayalam (local language)will be revised according to this document and disclosed at all selected places. The GOK willsend the documents for disclosure to simultaneously disclose the information in WBWashington and New Delhi offices.



4 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR EACH ACTIVITY

The entire project has been planned to execute with in a time frame of 24 months. Theconstruction activities are expected to start in April 2003. The activity schedule' described insection 5.0 clearly defines which activity precedes which activity.

4.1 MOBILISATION

This includes mobilisation of equipment for geo-technical investigation and dredging,construction of office, campsites and to establish laboratories for testing. Identification ofborrow areas and locating the material sources for construction. The dredge material andwater hyacinth disposal agreements with the landowner, etc. An estimated three months isprovided to mobilise all equipments and arrangements. A total of ninety days duration hasbeen considered for the mobilisation since the start of the construction contract. During thesame period the contractor will carry out sampling and testing of sediments as described insection 4.7.

4.2 SITE CLEARANCE

The site clearance include pruning of trees that are hanging towards canal from the adjacentland and properties especially along the narrow sections of the canal. The involvement ofNGOs will be required for pruning as there could be slight resistance from the landowners.The site clearance must also include any other material that will hamper the constructionactivities. For example, removal of tree (mainly coconut) stumps erected in the waterways atfew locations or any other obstructions. However under the name of site clearance, thefootbridges or any other structures used by the local people should not be demolished till thepreparation of a clear-cut reconstruction plan. During this period the Contractor will arrangenecessary alternatives.

4.3 WATER HYACINTH REMOVAL & DISPOSAL ARRANGEMENTS

Construction Phase - Weed control and Management: During construction period, thecontractor will have to clear the water hyacinth along the waterways after three months ofmobilisation till the handing over of the waterways. The occurrence of the water hyacinthvaries from season to season depending on many factors especially the water flow along thecanal and the monsoon season. The water hyacinth will be removed by manual process. Thecontractors will remove the water hyacinth and this has been built in to the contract as apayable item in the Contract documents. The gloves and foot wear will be given to labourersto work safely as there could be presence of insects and snakes2. The contractor will depositthe manually removed water hyacinth on the coconut plantations as a mulch3. Traditionallythese materials have been used as a 'mulching material' for coconut plantations. At presentthere is nothing that will be against the continuing of this tradition. Apart from use asmulching material other uses include paper pulp, fish feed, compost etc. Prior to deciding ofthe application the contractor will seek the clearance of the CSC.

IContractor will prepare a work plan after considering the various environmental and social requirements2 Some of the participants in the meeting at Kottayam stated that there is a sharp increase in the snakebite

cases In the Kuttanad area.3A mass of leaves, bark, or compost spread around or over a plant for protection or to enrich the soil.



Operational Phase Weed Control and Management. The water hyacinth removal anddisposal arrangements during the operational stage will apply a multi pronged approach suchas mechanical and manual for removal and disposal applications such as mulching, compostmaking, pulp making for paper, fish feed material for certain fishes etc. The annexure-7 is theGOK expert panel 2002 recommendations regarding the opening of Thannermukkom bundwhich till recently thought to the best solution for the water hyacinth management. Theminutes of meeting regarding the water hyacinth management held at Kottayam is enclosedas in annexure-8.

4.3.1 BIOREMEDIATION MEASURES

The WB team has recommended to revisit the proposed experimentation of bioremediationmeasures considered earlier, which is cost intensive and not successfully proved instead tocompose a forum for discussion with experts in the field to plan the future activities. The bioremediation measures have been dropped from further consideration.

4.4 PRE-CONSTRUCTION INVESTIGATION AND SURVEYS

The contractor will carry out all necessary surveys including sounding for the determinationof depth. This is required as the original survey was carried out in early 2000 and there couldbe considerable erosion, deposition and siltation. In addition to the complete inventorysurveys the surveys will also include hydro graphic surveys, surveys regarding jetties,terminals, existing traffic, passenger movements, cargo handling etc.

4.5 BANK PROTECTION

The PMT and PCC team have carried out a number of discussions regarding the schedule ofthe bank protection versus dredging. Since the depth of dredging is minimum of the order ofless than one metre only, the bank protection will be completed first followed by dredging.The recommendations of the PCC engineering team during project preparations were in thisline. Under the present circumstances and as agreed with World Bank, the dredge materialwill be used for embankment protection only. If the test results that will be taken up duringthe construction period indicate less contamination, then the material could be of use forother applications including permissible land filling.

4.6 DREDGING AND DREDGE DISPOSAL ARRANGEMENTS

The entire dredging activities will be undertaken by two proposed methods of dredging Viz,hydraulic and mechanical dredging. The hydraulic dredging cannot be undertaken in narrowcanals. At these narrow locations mechanical dredging will be under taken. Out of the total156,000 m3 of sediments, the total sediments dredged by each of the above methods are asfollows.

* Mechanical dredging-120,000m 3-Sediments will be in the form of small pieces & water

*> Hydraulic dredging-36,000m 3 -dredged sediments will be in the form of a slurry

The break up of the dredge material and disposal arrangements is provided in table 1.0. Thefigure 2.0 is the proposed design for disposal arrangements.

AK canal. Any section from chainage 0-17km, hydraulic dredging is the possibility. At theselocations, the canal is very wide and the padashekarams are available where the bunds will beraised as per the design provided (Figure 2.0). In the remaining portion mechanical dredgingis the possibility. The exhibit 4.1A of ESAMP4 Volume-1 Oine diagram of project canal)provides the three sections where dredging will take place along this canal. The annexure-9 isthe disposal arrangements for this canal.

KV canal. Mechanical dredging is the only possibility along this canal from 0-24.5 km. Theentire dredged material will be used for strengthening of the embankment height as per thedesign provided (Figure 2.0) and annexure-10 is the disposal arrangements for the KV canal.The exhibit 4. 1B of ESAMP Volume-1 Oine diagram of project canal) provides the sectionwhere dredging will take place along this canal.

AC canal. Any sections from chainage 0-22km hydraulic dredging is the possibility. At theselocations the canal is very wide and the available bunds of padashekarams will be raised as perthe design provided (Figure 2.0). The exhibit 4.1C of ESAMP Volume-i (line diagram ofProject canal) provides the three sections where dredging will take place along this canal. Theannexure-1 1 provides the details of the dredge disposal arrangements for AC canal. Fromchainage 22-28km where narrow canals are available mechanical dredging will be employed.

Transportation of dredge material. No hydraulic dredging is possible along the entireKottayam-Vaikom (KV) canal except at Chipunkal near Thannirmukkom. Therefore, thetransportation of the mechanical dredge material will be by country boats, barges or directlyto tipper lorries. The sediments taken from the canal bottom could be more of clayeymaterial than sandy. Nevertheless, there are a number of places were only sandy materials areavailable (eg: adjacent to the Nehru trophy Jetty where the water sports arrangements by theSp'orts Authority of India exists). The clayey materials are of high demand for embankmentprotection because of the very low permeability (and high porosity). The dredged sedimentsneed to be transported to the disposal arrangements where ever exists. The possible modes oftransportation include:

Country boats locally available in large numbers with a capacity of 2-3m' are of use fortransportation with manual unloading.

The designs for embankment filling provided earlier in section 4.6 (Figure 2.0). TheContractor prior to construction should demonstrate the feasibility of the system proposedfor bank protection in the programme and methodology.

Three Sections. Along AK and AC canals the three sections are the sections at which thecanal will be deepened as shown in line diagrams provided in ESAMP volume-1 as statedabove. Dredging will be undertaken along these sections. Along KV canal, in fact only onesection exists from Kanjirarn (Okm) up to Chipunkal (24.5m). This is divided into threesections conveniently as 0-3, 3-15 and 15-24.5.

4.6.1 SELECTION OF DISPOSAL SITES AND BENEFICIARIES

Transparent process applied for the selection of sites and beneficiaries / land owners andtheir agreements to receive the dredge material.

The average depth of dredging is 0.5m, nevertheless there are very few locations where thedepth of dredging could be up to lm.

4.6.2 SELECTION ALONG AC CANAL

Chainage 0-22 km (I). The nearest available place to accept the sediment material dredgedfrom the canal bottom is the selection criteria applied here. In this section hydraulic dredgingis proposed. The quantity of dredge material is 5861 m3 for a length of 22 km hence this canbe disposed to the nearest place identified in table 2.0. For example if the volume of dredgedmaterial is 100 m3 the project will see the nearest opportunity to dispose off the entirematerial at one place. If this is not possible one or two more locations will be considered.Too many locations cannot be considered as the cost increases with distance and otherenvironmental and social factors such as the practical difficulty to arrange the facility at manylocations.

Although there could be some complaints regarding the omission of small-scale farmers withvery small land area, this is the best option the project can take.

Chainage 22-28km (II). The entire canal length is built-up area and no padashekarams exists.

The disposal arrangements have been made on both the banks continuously through out thelength which will not allow for any conflicts. The Kottayam division of the WRD hascompleted the entire survey and identification of sites for section II of AC canal. The surveyand identification for 0-22km section sites have been completed by the Alappuzha divisionof the WRD.

4.6.3 SELECTION ALONG AK CANAL

Chainage 0-17km (I). The criteria applied here is the nearest available place to accept thesediment material dredged from the canal bottom. For example if the volume of dredgedmaterial is 100 m3 the project will see the nearest opportunity to dispose off the entirematerial at one place. If this is not possible one or two more locations will be considered.Too many locations cannot be considered as the cost increases with distance and otherenvironmental and social factors such as the practical difficulty to arrange the facility at manylocations.

Although there could be some complaints regarding the omission of small-scale farmers withvery small land area, this is the best option the project can take.

The Alappuzha division of the WRD has completed the entire survey and identification ofthe sites.

Chainage 17-23 km (II). Along this canal, the disposal will be through out the left and rightbank leaving no scope for any complaints. The entire canal length is built-up area and nopadashekarams exists. The disposal arrangements have been made on both the bankscontinuously through out the length which will not allow for any conflicts. The Kottayamdivision of the WRD has completed the entire survey and identification of sites.

4.6.4 SELECTION ALONG KV CANAL

Along this canal, the disposal will be through out the left and right bank avoiding the actualbuilt up area. Along the entire canal length no padashekarams exists. The disposalarrangements have been made on both the banks continuously through out the length whichwill not allow for any conflicts. The Kottayam division of the WRD has completed the entiresurvey and identification of sites.

4.7 SEDIMENT TESTING AND ALL ALLIED ACTIVITIES

The sampling of sediments will be carried out under the close supervision of theConstruction Supervision Consultants (CSC) appointed for the project in consultation withPMT and the identified laboratories. Sampling will be carried out immediately after themobilisation of the IWT Contractor and CSC prior to the dredging operations as shown inactivity schedule provided in section 6.0. Prior to sampling, the CSC and the PMT willprepare a sampling strategy in consultation with the identified laboratories. The contractorwill arrange sampling and testing of the dredged material. The cost of sediment collection,testing and analysis have been included in the BOQ bill no 10. The payment to theContractor will be based on the actual cost upon submission of invoices from thelaboratories. This payment shall be directly linked to the case-to-case instructions of theEngineer (i.e., CSC) in consultation with the PMT.

The samples will be transported on the same day of collection to the identified laboratories.The following aspects will be considered during sampling.

1. Sampling and testing of the dredged sediments will be only from the dredging areas.

2. Twenty (20) sampling locations have been planned for the three IWT project canalsduring implementation stage for sampling and testing.

3. There will be eight (8) sampling locations along KV canal (including the earlier two)at equal intervals from Kanjiram to Chipunkal. (Total eight (8) stations)

4. Six (6) sampling stations along AC canal at three sections of dredging. (Total 6stations)

5. Six (6) sampling stations along AK canal at three sections of dredging (Total 6stations)

6. The CSC will review and modify the sampling and testing arrangements inconsultation with all concerned including contractor.

4.7.1 SAMPLING DEPTH

The sampling depth is based on the following factors.

1. The average depth of dredging is 0.5m. Only two representative samples arerecommended at this section i.e., surface sample and bottom sample.

2. The methods recommended by the laboratory will be used to collect the deepersamples. Alternatively, the carefully collected dredge samples will be used for testingfrom the required stations.

3. Wherever the depth of dredging is more than 0.5m, three samples will be taken atdifferent depths so that the collected samples represent the sediment column that willbe dredged.

4. The number of samples at each location will depend on the depth of the dredging atthat particular location. However for the purpose of budget estimation three samplesper location have been considered.

5. The contractor will assist the Construction Supervision Consultants (CSC) forcollecting the necessary samples from the canal bottom.

6. This will be reviewed after the advice from two recognised and certified laboratoryavailable in the nearest possible locations at Bangalore/Kochi.

4.7.2 ESTIMATION OF THE SAMPLING AND TESTING COSTS

The cost estimates are shown in table 6.0, section 5. The Contractor (linked to the BOQrelated payments) will collect the sample and send to the identified laboratory. The laboratorywill carry out the testing and analysis.

4.7.3 IDENTIFIED LABORATORIES

For the sampling and testing purpose two laboratories have been identified. Since the rates ofthese reputed laboratories are fixed, there is no need for procedural formalities ofgovernment inviting quotations etc. The details of these laboratories are as follows.

1. M/s SGS limited- P.O Box 560, Subramaniam Road, Willington Island, Kochi,India. The Laboratory head office is located at Switzerland. This laboratory hasbranches in many countries spread all over the world (refer web site. www.sgs.com).

2. M/s Shriram Institute of Industrial Research (SIIR). The SIIR has the headquarter at New Delhi and a regional lab at Bangalore. The SIIR is self-sustaining,multi locational, multi disciplined, contract research organisation working since 1947.This is an ISO 9000 certified company by DNV Netherlands and accredited byDutch Council for certification-RVA. The SIIR is also accredited by NationalAccreditation Board of Laboratories (NABL-the Indian Body for accreditation oflaboratories in the filed of chemical, mechanical and biological analysis).

4.7.4 DESCRIPTION OF THE DISPOSAL ARRANGEMENTS

After the sediment test results are obtained CSC will decide and approve the method ofdisposal of dredge materials. In no case the contractor dispose the material without the CSCexplicit approval.

In order to avoid spillage of dredged materials during bund formation, a temporaryarrangement is to be provided by the contractor. A typical design for the disposal ofsediments is provided in section 4.6 (Figure 2.0). The entire arrangements are proposed overthe existing embankment. This will strengthen the bunds preventing floods in the area with amuch better control over the water.

Locally available materials such as hard split coconut, bamboo-mats are used for this purpose.Bracings are provided to avoid slippage. Horizontal and slanding stumps are provided atregular intervals. The system can be kept in place for a period of 10 days, and after drying ofthe bund it can be reused to another location. Since the sides are provided in the same angleof repose of soil, the stability of the bund will not be affected during removal of form works.

This set up will allow water from the sediments to drain over a very short period of two tothree days. Sufficient quantity of bamboo mats and split coconut will be available from theGOK controlled Bamboo Corporation and the coconut farmers. This will provide ruralemployment generation also.

4.7.5 DISPOSAL OF CONTAMINATED MATERIAL

During the July/August 2002, WB mission, the KSPCB and the Agricultural departmentofficials stated that BHC has been officially banned for the past two years and therefore theactual concentration is likely to be less than the reported values in ESAMP report. TheKSPCB has clarified that the dredge material will not be considered, as hazardous wasteunder the existing rules as the reported BHC concentrations are low for land applications.Under this circumstance, the material can be considered as 'slightly contaminated', which willnot allow room for any costly CDF preparations. Sediment sampling, testing and analysis will

Louis Berger Internation,a/ShIl,iLdia/CES/ICT 15


be carried out during dredging. If the results indicate any contamination, further testing forCDF arrangements will be carried out for the required parameters only. The location ofidentified CDF sites for KV, AK and AC canals are provided in the following table 3.0. Thesame disposal arrangements could be considered for the CDF facilities along first reaches ofAC and AK canals. In case of identification of contaminated sediments along first reaches ofAC, AK canals the disposal arrangements will be shifted away from the bund/bank.

The test specification for the contaminated material if any detected during the initial testingarrangements is as follows. Based on the first year testing results, all contaminated pesticideand heavy metal constituents will be tested continuously for about two years. All requiredparameters would be monitored continuously for four times during a period of two years. Asthis cannot be estimated correctly, a lump sum amount of Rs. 2.0 lakhs per each of the foursampling and testing procedure will require 8.0 lakhs rupees (4 x 2 Lakhs).

4.9 CONSTRUCTION OF BRIDGES AND FOOT BRIDGES

The construction of bridges, footbridges etc will spread over a period of 12 months asprovided in the activity schedule. Four bridges for AK and AC canals each and 14 bridges forKottayam-Vaikom (KV) canal will be either rebuild or repaired or raised.

4.10 NAVIGATIONAL AIDS

The navigational aides will be installed once all the activities mentioned above are more orless complete. The anticipated period of this activity is from 18flh month up to the 23rdmonth. This can be treated as one of the last activity to be taken up. The Waterways specialistof CSC will arrange a meeting with the IWAI to agree a common, uniform pattern ofNavigational aids for both NW-III and IWT (Refer annexure-1).

4.11 E & S IMPACT, MITIGATION AND ENHANCEMENT WORKS

All mitigation measures proposed will be implemented throughout the period. For this, theESAMP & IP will be the binding document.

Land acquisition. No land acquisition has been planned for the IWT pilot project. In case,land acquisition has been considered/ required for the IWT project for any of the proposedfacilities like terminals, jetties, access roads, the Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) prepared forthe highways component and the GOK policy on the same applies for identification of PAPscompensation, land acquisition and resettlement. Annexure-12 is a checklist prepared for landacquisition.

Low Cost Sanitation arrangements. The sanitation arrangements included earlier inESAMP report have been completely deleted from the IWT Pilot component. The BOQ hasbeen revised accordingly. The proposed sanitation facilities in the ESAMP document wouldbe considered in other sanitation projects. The decisions have been discussed and endorsedby the Task Force.

Terminal facilities at Changanaserry and Kottayam. The design for terminal facilities foraccepting and disposal of solid and liquid waste is shown in Appendix Yprovided in ESAMP.The cost includes landscaping and visual integration of all terrminal facilities with suitable tree,shrub planting and other facilities. The cost has been included in the BOQ. There will notbe any hazardous cargo handling at the two IWT terminals proposed at Kottayam andChanganaserry.

Terminal facilities at Alappuzha. There is one terminal facility at Alappuzha for allpurposes including hazardous cargo. This facility is being built by the IWAI. No terminalfacilities are being built at Alappuzha under this project. The construction activities in theproject canals AC and AK are 3 km and 1 km distance from the proposed terminalrespectively. Hence no impacts pertaining to the hazardous cargo storage is envisaged underthis project. During the operational phase there will be no movement of hazardouschemicals along the project canals as the national waterways will be used for this purpose.However the terminals will be common to the project canals and NW-III. The terminalfacility has obtained GOI/MOEF clearance and has a Disaster Management Plan/Riskanalysis. These documents will be reviewed by the PMT and advice on additional mitigationmeasures required if any. Further details of the Alappuzha terminal is included in annexure -13.

Bathing ghats. New design for bathing ghats has been prepared in consultation with theWRD engineers at Kottayam. This is provided in figure 4.0. Further the design has been

Louis Berger Internationall/Slbeladia/CES/ICT 19


presented to a cross section of inhabitants along the canal sides. A report on the consultationcarried out on 17 September is provided as annexure-14. This is possible only at Publicbathing ghats where adequate government land availability is assured. The minimum landrequirement for the proposed bathing ghat could be 7.15 Sq.m (1.3 x 5.5m). The totalnumber of bathing ghats that can be considered for construction will be of the order of 25numbers per canal (total 75 nos). All other bathing ghats will have to be retained ormaintained during the construction works. The cost for this item has been included in theBOQ.

Solid and liquid wastes (sewage) disposal. Solid and liquid wastes (sewage) disposalduring construction from construction camps including toilet during construction (ReferESMP Volume-1).

Safe disposal of human waste. As in aircrafts, there would be suitable arrangements in thevessels (passenger boats, motor boats etc,) to collect human defecation. The safe disposal ofthis should be planned and disposal sites identified without affecting the waterways. Aprovision of Rs 12 Lakhs (Rs. 1.2 million) has been included for three years initially as thecost for making proper disposal arrangements (Refer ESAMP Volume-1). The cost includedin the BOQ.

In addition to this, there should be terminal arrangements in the form of septic tanks toaccept or dispose of the sewage from the vessels. This is required only because no seweragesystems are available at Changanaserry and Kottayam. In all these locations a closed septictank of 40 cubic metres costing Rs. 1.5 million will be required. Open and closed septic tanksare used in the area. This will necessitate an additional requirement of Rs 30 Lakhs (Rupeesthree million). This is a permanent investment in this direction.

Waste Management Plan. The cost for the waste management plan during construction isincluded in the BOQ (Refer ESAMP Volume-1).

Solid waste collection and disposal facilities at Jetties. There are 110 jetties altogether,each one requiring a dust/garbage bin of standard design size. The cost includes visualintegration of the structure. A number of these may be required at jetties. The cost for this isincluded (Refer ESMP Volume-1).

Dredge disposal cost. The cost for dredging and disposal is a part of the engineering cost.Suitable designs have been provided for both embankment and confined disposal facility.The cost included in the BOQ (Refer ESMP Volume-1).

Water hyacinth Collection and disposal. As identified and described by the WaterHyacinth Management Plan in Appendix L of ESAMP and the Implementation Plan. Asrecommended by the Task Force (Annexure-3) a multi pronged approach will be undertakenfor the collection and disposal of the waterweeds. The cost for this including the treatment ofdisposed water hyacinth from the canal in private coconut plantation and other agriculturalareas for making compost etc, and utilizing it for various purposes will be part of the BOQbill no-2.

4.12 PERFORMANCE MONITORING INDICATORS

The table 5.0 itemises the performance monitoring indicators for the Environmental andsocial aspects of the IWT project for the purpose of evaluation.

4.13 ENVIRONMENTAL & SOCIAL MONITORING ANDENHANCEMENT COSTS

All items except the cost for environmental awareness programme (Rs 20 lakhs) have beendropped from the list of items included in exhibit 11.1 of ESAMP Volume-1 (page 86). Theawareness programme will be carried out with the same budget as described in the followingsection 4.14. Further, it has been recommended to include a two-year maintenance cost forthe pilot project, as the project construction activities will be completed two years ahead ofthe closing of the loan agreement in June 2007. Therefore, the maintenance cost of Rs 50Lakhs per year (Five million) for three canals (Lumpsum) for two years have been consideredunder the project. This will incur an additional cost of one Crore (Ten Million rupees).

4.14 PUBLIC PARTICIPATION AND AWARENESS PROGRAMME

The public participation programmes will focus on the PIA panchayats with in the Kuttanadarea. The awareness programme will consider the health, hygiene and sanitation aspects ofthe Kuttanad region in addition to the management related issues of waterways duringoperational stage. The responsibilities of the individuals, waterway users, inhabitants ofKuttanad and tourists will be covered during the programmes. The identified NGO willorganise the activities with the involvement of PMT and PCC at Thiruvananthapuram,Kottayam IWT division and the district and panchayat administration in the Kuttanad area.

ANNEXURE-1MINUTES OF MEETING WITH THE INLAND WATER TRANSPORT AUTHORITY OF INDIA

(IWAI) FOR KSTP-IWT PILOT PROJECT

Venue: IWAI Office, 2347-N, Paramara Shopping Complex, Paramara Road, Kochi-18

Date, Time: 12 August 2002, 11.30 a.m.

Participants IWAI Kochi:Mr. S. Dandapat, Director, Inland Water Authority of India (IWAI), Kochi

Mr. V. Murugesan, Technical Assistant, IWAI, Kochi

Mr. G.S. Mena, Technical Assistant, IWAI, Kochi

Participants KSTP PMT/PCC:

Mr. Ramakrishnan, Superintendent Engineer (SE), Water Resources DepartmentMr. Yohannan, Executive Engineer, PMT/Water Resources Department

Mr. B.G.P. Reddy, Design Engineer, Project Coordinating Consultants (PCC)

Mr. Sundara Rajan C.V., Environmental Specialist, PCC

The purpose of the meeting with IWAI Officials was to ascertain whether the terminalfacilities proposed in the terminals at Kottayam and Changanaserry of the IWT Pilot Projectand that in the terminals at Alappuzha, Vaikom and Thannirmukkom of the NW-Il-IWATProject, that are in the project influence area of the pilot project, are of comparable standard.

Mr. Ramakrishnan, SE, Water Resources introduced the KSTP-IWT Project and theobjectives of the meeting. The PCC Environmental Specialist added some details on thenature of the information required from IWAI. Having discussed all matters regarding theNW-III Project (presently partly completed) and KSTP-IWT Project, the key elementsregarding the KSTP-IWT Project were defined as described below.

1. The terminal facilities proposed by IWAI for Alappuzha, Thannirmukkom (Shertalai)and Vaikom are much bigger in area than the KSTP proposals for IWT. The area ofthe NW-III terminals varies from 0.5 ha to 1.0 ha whereas the KSTP proposal is 0.1ha only. This is due to the hazardous material cargo handling and storage requirementfor the NW-III Project. The land acquisition for the latter project is complete but atAlappuzha terminal where some local conflicts have slowed down this process.

2. Apart from the area required, the NW-III terminal designs are comparable with theKSTP proposals. However, certain items described in the engineering report of thepilot project do not seem to be included in the Bill of Quantifies, particularly thefollowing matters:

Fence and gates

> Water supply arrangements and overhead tank

Surface drainage and pipe culvert

Fire fighting equipment and portable pump

Mechanical engineering equipment, eg. provision of tyred crane to load andunload cargo etc.

3. It can be noted that environmental and social considerations are of lesser importancein the NW-III Project. The PMT/PCC team stated that these considerations areessential in all World Bank financed projects.

4. In the NW-IIl terminals the only facility proposed is a septic tank designed for 50people. This is meant for official/guest use and not for the public. This is inadequate

Louis Berger Internation.l/Shel.adia/CES/ICT 27


for the KSTP-IWT standard. KSTP has proposed a septic tank for 200 people use,including the official/public use, besides the disposal of waste from on-board vesselfacilities according to the KSTP vessel designs.

5. At present there are no garbagecollectionanddisposalarrangements'proposed in the NW-III Project.

6. The NW-III Project has obtained the Environmental Clearance from the Ministry ofEnvironment and Forests, Government of India.

7. For water hyacinth removal and disposal IWAI have contacted Ecotech (Phone0484-323809) dealing with proven environmental solutions. There are early proposalsto hire this company for removing water hyacinth using mechanical water hyacinthharvesters. The cost of this harvester is 60 lakhs. Currently IWAI has not developedany plan for the disposal arrangements.

8. The NW-III Project has carried out a detailed Disaster Management Plan and riskanalysis related to the hazardous cargo movements at terminals. There are inbuiltproposals for fire fighting equipments in the terminals.

9. There are no institutional capabilities within the IWAI for executing anyenvironmental and social components of the project. The IWAI depends on theRevenue Department and other agencies for land acquisition and otherenvironmental and social requirements of the project.

10. At present there are no design vessels proposed with inbuilt garbage collection anddisposal facilities in the NW-IIl Project.

11. There have been some conflicts with the fishing community in the NW-HI Project.When they happen, they are referred to the Fisheries Department, Government ofKerala.

12. There are some discrepancies regarding the channel marking standards between theNW-III and KSTP proposals. However, this is a minor issue that can be resolvedeasily.

13. The IWAI has raised concerns regarding the certificate of competency to the boatdrivers and the boat masters. There is some confusion regarding the present setup. Itis understood that the Water Resources Department at Alappuzha has beenauthorized to issue boat registration certificates but not competency certificates. Ifsome training is required this needs to be imparted.

14. The Director declared that the entire current legal framework and particularly theenvironmental laws are inadequate thereby hampering the growth of the waterways.Suitable laws need to be framed and implemented for effectively managing theenvironmental and social requirements and to meet international accepted standards.

15. Regarding the dredge disposal options the NW-III Project has resorted to allavailable means, i.e. open land and lake disposal, land fill, bund protection and landreclamation. They informed the KSTP participants that there are many potentialbuyers for dredged material.

16. The PMT/PCC Team gave information on the proposed task force meeting for theKSTP-IWT Project. IWAI participation is necessary for waterways related issues inKerala. In this context the KSTP Team stated that they would convey these aspectsto the concerned officials.

The meeting was closed at 1.00 p.m.

ANNEXURE-3AGENDA NOTES FOR THE PROPOSED MEETING OF THE

TASK FORCE ON KSTP -rWT ON 11/10/2002

1. Dredge disposal arrangement proposed in the implementation plan.

The Kerala State Transport Project has decided to dispose of the dredged material from thethree selected canals for improvement in an environmental friendly manner. The Project hascarried out sampling and testing during the project preparation. The test results indicate thatthe sediments are slightly contaminated at certain locations. The main contamination is dueto the presence of BHC. Therefore the dredge material will be used only for theembankment/bund/sidewall protection and strengthening. There is a great demand for thedredge material. But the Project will not use the material for any land filling or filling ofpadashekraarams or for land reclamation of water-spread areas. The total estimated dredgematerial from the three Inland Water Transport canals is 156,000 m3. The project will carryout testing of samples simultaneously with dredging to confirm the material is free of anycontamination. The testing will be carried out in the accredited laboratories already identifiedat Bangalore and Kochi. The estimated amount for the testing is Rupees twenty lakhs. Anyreporting of higher levels of contamination by the laboratories will make the ConfinedDisposal Facility arrangements necessary for disposal. The arrangements will continue for aperiod of two years with testing of the contamination at an interval of four months. Aboutten sites have been identified for this arrangement and consents have been obtained.Government of Kerala has informed the World Bank team that the BHC has been officiallybanned since 2000. So the level of contamination will be considerably less than the earliertesting. In view of the above the dredge material will be used only for strengthening ofembankments till test results prove that there is no contamination and can otherwise be usedfor land filling etc as per rules.

Pointfor decision- Whether the proposed embankment strengthening using the dredge materialcan be adopted. If test results prove that there is no contamination whether it can be used forland filling etc as per rules.

2. Future plan for the control of excessive water hyacinth growth.

The contractor will remove the waterweeds during the construction period up to the 24 "hmonth till handing over the waterways for operation. The occurrence of the water hyacinthvaries from season to season depending on many factors especially the water flow along thecanals and the monsoon season. The contractor will deposit the manually removed waterhyacinth on the coconut plantations as a mulch6. Traditionally these materials have been usedas a 'mulching material' for coconut plantations. At present there is nothing that will beagainst the continuing of this tradition. Necessary provision has been included in the bill ofquantities.

The operational control of the waterweeds is not within the scope of this project. As desiredby the World Bank an operational strategy needs to be formulated for effectively controllingthe water hyacinth. The earlier plan of testing by 'bioremediation measures' such as the oneproposed by the Clean Flow International Inc. has been dropped from further considerationdue to the exhorbitant cost involved and also the doubts regarding the practical aspects ofimplementation in open canals. The water hyacinth removal and disposal arrangementsduring the operational stage will use the outcome of the meeting of the researchers/experts in

6 A mass of leaves, bark, or compost spread around or over a plant for protection or to enrich the soil.



this field that has been scheduled to be held on loth October 2002 at Kottayam. Therecommendations of this meeting on control of water hyacinth will be considered by theTask Force and appropriate decisions will be taken.

The expert panel constituted to study the possibility to open Thannirmukkom andThottappally barrages has recently submitted their recommendations. The committee hasrecommended the opening of the barrages for a period of one year on an experimental basis.The Government of Kerala will take an appropriate decision based on the recommendations.Government of Kerala will have to take in to consideration the interests of both fisheries andagricultural sectors. The opening of the two barrages is thought to be a permanent solutionfor the waterweeds, as the weeds cannot survive in higher salinities.

Pointfor decision- Whether the proposal to use the water hyacinth as a mulching materialcan be accepted. Decision on the recommendations in the meeting of the researchers/expertsin this field scheduled to be held on 10th October 2002 to be taken.

3. Bathing Ghats arrangement for canal / waterway users.

During the project preparation stage, Project Coordinating Consultants has carried out anumber of public consultations and participation programmes. The people in generalrecommended to maintain privacy of women taking bath along the side of the canals.Accordingly a design was proposed in the Environmental and Social Assessment andManagement Plan (ESAMP). Frequent maintenance will be required for this constructionmade of fibreglass. Although it is a low cost method, due to the uncertainty regarding itscontinued maintenance, is aesthetic quality and also due to the projected nature of the design,World Bank has objected to its adoption.

Subsequently the design prepared as per the recommendation of the World Bank and thelocal Water Resources Department (WRD) engineers is also found not acceptable to the localcommunity because of the loss of their land for providing bathing ghat arrangements. A newdesign for bathing ghats has been prepared in consultation with the WRD engineers. Thedesign has been presented to a cross section of inhabitants along the canal sides. The generalopinion was that this is possible only at public bathing ghats where adequate governmentland is available. The minimum land requirement for the proposed bathing ghat is 7.15 sq.m(1.3 x 5.5m). The total number of bathing ghats on government land that can be consideredfor construction will be 25 numbers per canal (total 75 nos). All other private bathing ghatswill have to be retained or maintained taking care to ensure aesthetic quality.

The cost of 75 public bathing ghats will be part of the cost of bund construction along thesides of the canal. Since the materials of construction are similar to that of bunds this is not aseparate item of payment to the contractor. In this case only the quantity will vary and thecontractor will be paid as per the claim for additional quantities. The standard rates areavailable for all materials and the work involved.

Pointfor decision -Whether the proposal to construct 75 Nos. of bathing ghats as per thedesign can be adopted.

4. Co-ordination with other departments for the provision of sanitation facilities.

The earlier consultancy studies recommended some initiatives on improving the sanitation inthe Kuttanad area (identified Project Influence Area). The recommendation was based on theenvironmental studies especially the studies related to water quality carried out at selectedlocations along the canals. Although the total sanitation of the project area requires hugeinvestments, the consultants recommended around 300 nos. of low cost sanitation units (for



BPL families to be decided after a survey by the selected Non Governmental Orgamsation)along the three Inland Water Transport Pilot Project waterways. This recommendaton wasprimarily to increase the awareness on the importance of water quality along the waterways.These recommendations were later dropped from further consideration of IWT project,following the June 2002 Mission of World Bank. The Mission note however recommendedcoordinating all sanutation programmes by various departments/orgamisations in theKuttanad region and the issue was left to the Task Force for taking a decision.

The IWT project requires coordination of number of lne departments of GOK and GOI forthe provision of sanitation facihties. This includes KWA, Tourism, IWAI, local self-government bodies, SWTD, SPCB, etc. However the following two projects are moreimportant with regard to sanitation.

Kerala Total Sanutation Mission, under Kerala Rural Development Department.

Kerala Rural Water and Sanitation Mission (KRWSM), under Kerala Water Authority.

Considering the seriousness of the sanitation situation in Kuttanad these two Missions needto work more closely to protect the environment.

Apart from this, the involvement of NGOs in promoting low cost samtation techniques maybe emphasised. It may be noted that GOI project like National Waterway-No III has noproposal for sanitation, garbage collection and disposal facilies in the terminals. There areno specific designs for collection and disposal of waste materials from the vessels

Pointfor deasion - To decide which department/agency will be providing sanitafion faclities inthe project area.

5. Environmental Awareness Programme.

The public participation programmes wlfl focus on the project influence area panchayats within the Kuttanad area. The awareness programme will consider the health, hygiene andsanutation aspects of the Kuttanad region in additon to the management related issues ofwaterways during operational stage. The responsibilites of the individuals, wvaterway users,inhabitants of Kuttanad and tourists wilU be covered during the programmes. The alreadyidentified NGO will organise the activities with the involvement of Project ManagementTeam and Project Coordinating Consultants at Thiruvananthapuram, Kottayam IWT divisionand the district and panchayat administration in the Kuttanad area.

The entire programme wil target 13 PIA Panchayats. These panchayats are lsted below:

The meeting discussed the issues in the agenda notes circulated in advance to all theparticipants. The Principal Secretary, Water Resources Department (WRD) chaired themeeting. The Chairman introduced the purpose of the meeting with a brief description of theproject. The PCC Environmental Specialist then made a power point presentation on theIWT pilot project. The items on the agenda were then taken up for discussion.

1) Dredge disposal arrangements proposed in the Implementation Plan

The Secretary, PWD explained in detail about the dredge disposal arrangements. Theparticipants discussed the various aspects of the arrangements. The present proposal is to usethe dredge material for the embankment strengthening. The Chairman wanted to knowwhether other uses for the dredge materials could be considered under the project if the testresults indicate nil or much lower levels of contamination. The secretary, PWD stated that theTask Force has to take a decision in this regard. One of the participants emphasised the needfor a fool-proof method for the dredge disposal as there is a great demand for the dredge inthe entire Kuttanad area both for land filling and for embankment strengthening. Therecently prepared IWT Implementation Plan has clearly identified the areas that can be usedfor storing the dredged material. Another participant stated that the involvement of the localpanchayat should be ensured in this area.

Decision: The Task Force is of the opinion that the entire dredge material will not berequired for embankment strengthening. It is therefore decided that if the test results duringimplementation phase indicates nil or lower levels of contamination in the dredged material,other applications that are socially and locally relevant should be considered under theproject. The next meeting of the Task Force will discuss a comprehensive scheme for thedredge disposal, meeting the above considerations. This will help to avoid conflicts sincethere is a great demand for the dredge for various uses in Kuttanad area.

Kerala State Transport Projea Implementation Plan For IWT Pilot Project

2) Future plan for the control of excessive water hyacinth growth

The recommendation of the meeting of experts conducted at Kottayam on 10th October2002 was presented before the Task Force to discuss and to take a decision thereon Therecommendation was to procure a mechanical harvester within the pilot project and to use itduring the construction and operational phases. The CE (Mechanical) stated that theprocurement of water hyacinth harvester as recommended by the meeting of the experts on10th October 2002 at Kottayam will help to solve the problem only partially as the experienceindicates that the machine could be only used for three months in a year when excessivegrowth of the weeds occurs. The Director, IW AI, Kochi stated that they are planning toprocure a water hyacinth harvester very shortly, which will cost around Rs. 60 Lakhs.Another participant stated that a multi pronged approach that will involve a variety oftechniques viz use of harvester in wider areas and manual removal in narrow sections andusing the weeds for applications like mulching, composting or as a raw material for papermanufacturing units etc will be more appropriate. The expert from the Agricultural Universitypointed out that biological methods for eradicating the water hyacinth are not practical in thiscase.

The involvement of the local panchayats, voluntary organisations, self-help groups andKudumbasree should be ensured for manual removal. The project should also holdconsultations with Hindustan Newsprint Ltd. and small-scale paper industries in this matter.One of the participants stated that due to unsafe working environment, some small-scalemechanical devices and tools are required for manual removal of the water hyacinth. Thehandling of waterweeds with bare hands is not possible due to the presence of snakes, insectsetc and hence gloves and rubber footwear should be provided.

Decision: A multi pronged approach should be adopted for the removal of water hyacinthalong the project feeder canals. With regard to procurement of water hyacin.tn harvester itwas decided that based on the experience of the IW AI a decision would be taken later. Theexperiences of other agencies using this harvester will be gathered by the SE, IWT. The localpanchayats, Hindustan Newsprint Ltd and small-scale paper industries will be consultedregarding use of the water hyacinth as a raw material.

3) Bathing ghat arrangements along the canals.

Some of the participants stated that the design prepared is not spacious enough to take bathand hence might not be used. Therefore the design needs to be changed slightly. Theconsultant stated that the design is for the minimum space and provides adequate flexibility.However, if sufficient public land is available it could be made more spacious. The Chairmanwanted to know whether all the locations are identified and verified. The consultants statedthat the 75 bathing ghats have been provided in the contract document. There can bevariation in the design and in the number of these ghats along the .three canals. It wasstressed that there will not be any land acquisition within this project.

Decision: The necessity of the bathing ghats needs to be further ascertained from thewomen organisations and lady members of the local bodies. The Task Force decided that afew bathing ghats would be constructed on an experimental basis. Based on the socialacceptability and other feedback, the remaining bathing ghats will be constructed.

4) Sanitation arrangements in the Kuttanad region.

The Chairman stated that 'Kerala Total Sanitation Mission' is the only authority operating inKuttanad region. Therefore this Mission could act as the nodal agency for the various



sanitation arrangements in the area. The Kerala Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Agency isan independent body operating in four districts of Kerala and this does not include Kuttanadarea. The Chairman requested the IW AI to include adequate sanitation facilities in the threeterminals (Alappuzha, Thannirmukkom and Vaikom) coming within the purview of theproject.

Responding to the question of licensing of vessels without on board waste disposalarrangements, the PCB representative stated that the PCB is currently drafting legislation tomake such arrangements in all vessels mandatory and that this will be implemented veryshortly. The representative from Tourism Department stated that while at present it is notmandatory for vessels like house boats to install waste disposal facility, that department hasclassified vessels particularly houseboats based on the facilities provided for collection anddisposal of waste. The device that is being used in these house boats is the Marine SanitationDevice. This will soon be made applicable to all houseboats registered under TourismDepartment SE, IWT will" collect copies of the order of PCB and Tourism Department onthis subject.

Decision: This will be included in the awareness programme during the implementation ofthe project. The Task Force also recommended that the conversion of the open latrines tosafe two pit latrines be popularised. The IW AI was requested to provide the necessarysanitation and waste disposal facilities for the three terminals coming under the purview ofthe pilot project. The NA TP AC and Rural Development authorities are to be invited for thenext meeting. The sanitation program of the local self govt bodies and other agencies will becoordinated by the Kerala Total Sanitation Mission and this will be reviewed by the TaskForce.

5) Environmental Awareness Programme.

The CWRDM representative stated that it is necessary to streamline the awarenessprogramme through the Kudumbasree organisations. Decision: The proposed awarenessprogramme could be implemented on the lines is stated in the agenda notes.

6) Coordination between different agencies including IWAI.

The Chairman stated that as indicated in the agenda notes there are a number of otheragencies involved. For coordination with all such agencies, the Task Force will be the bestforum.

Decision: The Task Force itself will act as the coordination agency.

7) IWT future vision and scope of expansion

The Chairman stated that a centrally sponsored West Coast Canal project is underconsideration of Government. .

Decision: The experience from this IWT project will be taken as guiding principles for thefuture expansion of the waterways in Kerala. The action plan will be developed in due coursewith the implementation of the pilot project.

8) Any other items

There were no other items for discussion.

THE GOK EXPERT PANEL 2002 RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE OPENING OFTHANNERMUKKOM BUND

The expert panel constituted to study the possibility to open Thannirmukkom barrages hasrecently submitted their recommendations. The committee has recommended to open thebarrages for an additional period of 15 days on an experimental basis. The GOK will take anappropriate decision based on the recommendations. The delicate decision is based on theconflict situation of fisheries communities and the agricultural communities in the entireKuttand area. The opening of the two barrages is thought to be a permanent solution for thewaterweeds, as the weeds cannot survive in higher salinities. However the committee hasconcluded that the suggestion to leave the barrage open throughout the year is not asocially and economically viable solution to the problems faced by the presentoperation of the barrage. A more technically feasible and socially acceptable solution is tominimize the time of closure of the barrage. It is observed that the ideal time to close thebarrage is when the salinity level of the water reaches two parts per trillion (ppt) on thesouthern side of the barrage by around the second week of December. To allow the flushingof pollutants and to reduce the environmental impacts, barrage shall be opened by the end ofthe second week of March. The farmers shall be made aware of the need to exercise cropdiscipline to adjust with the schedule of barrage operation from mid-December to mid-March. When emergency situations arise, the operation has to consider the difference ofwater levels on the upstream and downstream of the barrage. A Committee of all concerneddepartments and agencies may take this decision on the emergency operation. By minimisingthe annual period of closure of the barrage, it is expected that the health of the aquaticecosystem will improve. This will not only help in improving the flushing of the estuary andreducing the weed growth but also in slowly regaining the biodiversity. The fisheries sectoralso will benefit from this decision.

ANNEXURE-8MINUTES OF MEETING CONDUCTED AT KOTTAYAM

FOR EVOLVING A PRACTICAL APPROACH/ SOLUTION FOR WATER HYACINTHMANAGEMENT DURING CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATIONAL PHASES OF THE PROJECT.

Venue: PWD Rest house, Kottayam. Date, Time: 10 October 2002, 11.00. a.m.

PARTICIPANTS:

List of participants is provided.

PARTICIPANTS FROM KSTP (PCC/PMT):

Mr Thomas, Superintendent Engineer (SE) Project Management Team (PMT)

Mr Ramakrishnan, Superintendent Engineer (SE) Water Resources Department /PMT

Mr Yohannan, Executive Engineer, Water Resources Department /PMT

Mr Sreekandan Nair, Environmental Engineer, PMT

Mr Sundara Rajan, Environmental Specialist, Project Coordinating Consultants (PCC)

Purpose of the meeting was to derive a practical concrete recommendation for the collectionand disposal of waterweeds especially the water hyacinths from the three canals selectedunder the IWT Pilot project.

The meeting started with a welcoming address and a description of the purpose of themeeting by Mr Thomas, Superintending Engineer, Project Management Team (PMT).

Later Mr Sundara Rajan, C.V. Environmental specialist, Louis Berger International Inc, using'Power Point' presented an overview of the Pilot waterways component of the Kerala StateTransport Project',

Following the 'project over view presentation' the subject was opened for discussion.

1. Dr Joy of Agricultural University stated that there are a variety of research techniquesincluding biological control using fishes, beetles and bites. After having discussed thevarious detailed aspects and techniques, Dr Joy concluded that the only practical way isto apply/use mechanical devices using mechanical harvesters. The collected weeds canbe suitably disposed off for feeding fishes and also for compost making. The servicesof voluntary organisations, self help groups etc could be utilised for this activity.

2. Further the Deputy Collector, Kottayam stated that the only practical way is to controlby allowing natural salinity intrusion through Thannirmukkom and Thottapallyspillways. The Deputy Collector also described the various problems related to thelarge-scale presence of waterweeds faced by the Kuttanad people including the recentmenace of increased snakebite cases.

3. Dr George Abe from CWRDM stated that a decision to keep the bund open is not easyas it involves several complex issues. Dr Abe for example quoted the future of threewater supply projects in the Kuttanad region. The PCC environmentalist stated that thefood security of the state was also a serious concern as it is necessary to retain the vastareas of paddy cultivation in the Kuttanad.

4. The PCC environmentalist stated that a report has been prepared and submitted to theGovernment of Kerala by an expert committee set-up by GOK with Dr JamesExecutive Director, CWRDM as the head of the expert committee. The government



will examine the report to take an appropriate decision. It is also important to considerthe long-term effect of salinity that will definitely affect the agricultural operations inthe areas since the surface and groundwater are the part of the same system.

5. One of the participants stated that the use mechanical harvester using floating JCB andmanual methods for removal could be of great help to control the waterweeds.

6. The participants presented different techniques for compost making. The vermicompost making is also a possibility but unsure about the marketing possibilities of theproduct. One main problem for such purposes is the land availability. The system needdry chambers, which is not practical in Kuttanad unless casting of such concrete slabshave been considered by the project.

7. Following Dr Joy of agricultural University many representatives includingrepresentative form the State Pollution Control Board (PCB) also stated that the bestpossible way under the present circumstances is to use mechanical harvesters evenduring construction and operational period of the project.

8. The KSTP team stated that the use of mechanical harvester during the constructionstage would save 45Lakhs included as a contract bill of quantities (BOQ) item in theIWT Pilot component. This depends on the possibility of procuring the machine withina reasonable time of two-three months. The cost of the mechanical harvester isapproximately 60-70 Lakhs. The use of mechanical harvester along the canals will notprovide the desired results and therefore the use in the entire Kuttanad need to betaken up for effective control by the government.

The meeting was closed at 1.30 pm with the following recommendation which was read outto all participants prior to the close of the meeting.

RECOMMENDATION

The meeting recommended procuring a mechanical harvester within the pilot waterwaysproject and using it during the construction and operational phases of the project. This couldbe operated and maintained by the Mechanical wing of the Water Resources Department(WRD). The arrangement can continue till a concrete mechanism is evolved for renting outof the machine for various other agencies including the Inland Waterways Authority of India(TWAI).

The meeting also recommended the disposal of harvester collected waterweeds by means ofcompost making and or to use it as a pulp material for Hindustan newsprint /local small-scale paper industrial units.

HAZARDOUS CARGO HANDLING AT NW-III TERMINALS

The Alappuzha NW-III terminal (other terminals are not related to the pilot project) are alsointended to handle classified hazardous cargo's as described in the Hazardous managementrules of GOI according to the Environmental (Protection) Act, 1986. The IWAI hastherefore carried out a study and prepared a Disaster Management Plan and Risk Analysis.The World Bank supported IWT canals are not related to the hazardous cargo transport. Theterminal arrangements and hazardous cargo handling at the terminals are also not linked tothe World Bank project. For these arrangements the World Bank requires much stringentmeasures according to the safeguard policies of the Bank. Since the Alappuzha terminals arealso terminals of IWT pilot project, a copy of this report will be made available to WorldBank for any additional recommendations, clarifications or guidelines. The implementation ofany such recommended activity from World Bank need the ratification of Task Forceconstituted for IWT project implementation. The Task Force is the nodal agency identifiedfor interagency/interdepartmental linkages. This activity will continue till all the activitiesrealize the WB safe guard Policies. If necessary these aspects will also be disclosed to thepublic at the appropriate time after the finalisation as desired by the Bank

The team has visited the IWT project canals for public consultation regarding the proposeddesign for bathing ghats. Earlier the Water Resources Engineers from the Kuttanad regionproposed a design for bathing ghats, which will not project towards canals. The constructionof the bathing ghat will require a minimum of 7 Sq.m of land area.

The team has traversed along the representative sections of the three IWT canals andconsulted several local people along the sides of the water ways regarding the acceptability ofthe proposed bathing ghats as it require a minimum of seven square metre land area.Although the team had organised two meetings 1) at Illikkal for AK and KV canals and 2) atKidangara for AC canal the team also consulted several individuals along the canals regardingthe bathing ghat arrangements. The lists of people contacted are provided as attachment-1.



The out come of the field visit and consultations are as follows.

* Majority of the bathing ghats comes under the category of 'private'.

* Very few public bathing ghats exist along the three canals compared to the totalnumber of bathing ghats along the canals.

* The newly proposed bathing ghat arrangements are permanent concrete structures andneed minimum maintenance.

*> A proposal for using creepers such as curtain plants can be used as a green cover

* The inhabitants along the side of the canals categorically stated that they couldn't giveaway any land for the construction of the bathing ghats hence all bathing ghatsconsidered are public bathing ghats with adequate government land availability.

* The team estimated a total of 25 numbers of public bathing ghats along each of thesecanals totalling a requirement of 75 bathing ghats as per the proposed design.
