Comprehensive Planning of Water Supply Service improvements In the following ULBs (1) Ananthapur <strong>Municipal</strong> Corporation,(2) Chittoor <strong>Municipal</strong>ity and (3) Badvel <strong>Municipal</strong>ityDetailed <strong>Project</strong> Report (Final) - Badvel <strong>Municipal</strong>ity –- EnvironmentEXECUTIVE SUMMARYThe Government of <strong>Andhra</strong> <strong>Pradesh</strong> (GoAP) through Government of India has negotiated a loan from theWorld Bank to plan and prepare water supply scheme for Badvel <strong>Municipal</strong>ity covering capital improvementand technical, financial and managerial capacity improvements to enable the ULBs to deliver the desiredservices.This Environmental Assessment (EA) Report has been prepared for the Badvel Water Supply <strong>Project</strong> as partof APMDP. The major Sub-<strong>Project</strong> components are: (i) Laying of a new Distribution System, Construction ofElevated Level Storage Reservoir (ELSR), and (ii) Construction of Water Treatment Plant (WTP) includingIntake Well, Raw Water Rising Main and Clear Water Rising Main.The sub-project is needed because the present water supply system of Badvel is inadequate for the needs ofthe growing population. In respect to present population and as per situation assessment, the overalldeficiency of water requirement is 0.07 TMC i.e 5.37 MLD. Moreover the storage and distribution network isinsufficient to meet even present requirements. Improvement in the water supply system has been identifiedas a major priority in the Badvel town. The objective of this sub-project is to provide wholesome potablewater @ 70 lpcd to 100% population, throughout the day in 24x7 modules, at required minimum pressurehead as stipulated in the Design basis.Tendering process is expected to be completed by December, 2012. <strong>Project</strong> implementation is likely to startin January, 2013 and is likely to be completed by end of 2015.Some of the subproject sites are located in the built-up area of Badvel town which are generally flat. Thesubproject sites are not located in areas prone to water-logging, salination, and flash flood. There are noprotected areas, wetlands, mangroves, or estuarine in or within the subproject sites. Trees, vegetation(mostly shrubs and grasses), and animals are those commonly found in urban areas. The subproject sitesare not located in agricultural lands. The subproject sites are not located in or near any historically-,culturally-, archaeologically- or architecturally- significant or tourists’ area.This EA report was prepared on the basis of detailed screening and analysis of all environmentalparameters, field investigations and stakeholder consultations to meet the requirements for environmentalassessment process and documentation as per SEAMF and Government of India Environmental ImpactAssessment (EIA) Notification of 2006. The hard copy of EA for the sub-project will be made available topublic at ULB as well as at CDMA-MSU for public reference and will be disclosed to a wider audience in theapmdp website www.apmdp.gov.in.An Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is proposed as a part of this report which includes (i) mitigationmeasures for significant environmental impacts during implementation, (ii) environmental monitoringprogram, and the responsible entities for mitigation, monitoring, and reporting; & (iii) public consultation andinformation disclosure; and grievance redress mechanism.Potential negative impacts were identified in relation to construction and operation of the improvedinfrastructure. No impacts were identified as being due to the project design or location. Mitigation measureshave been developed to reduce all negative impacts to acceptable levels. A number of impacts and theirsignificance have already been reduced by amending the designs.During the construction phase, impacts mainly arise from the need to dispose of moderate quantities ofwaste soil and import a similar amount of sand to support the pipes in the trenches,metal for RCC works; andfrom the disturbance of residents, businesses, traffic and important buildings by the construction work. Theseare common impacts of construction in urban areas, and there are well developed methods for theirmitigation.Most of the mitigation measures require the construction contractors to adopt good site practice, whichshould be part of their normal procedures, so there are unlikely to be major costs associated withcompliance. Regardless of this, costs of mitigation by the construction contractor are included in the budgetsas part of Environmental Management Plan. Estimated cost of Environmental Management Plan for the subprojectas a whole is INR 11.65 Lakhs.

Inadequate water supply hasbeen identified as an essential issue. The Government of <strong>Andhra</strong> <strong>Pradesh</strong> (GoAP) has recognized theproblems faced by the ULBs and has received a loan from the World Bank to improve the services andsupport improvements in the financial, technical and management capacities of ULBs to sustain theinfrastructures being created.This Environmental Assessment (EA) Report has been prepared for the Badvel Water Supply <strong>Project</strong> as partof APMDP. The major Sub-<strong>Project</strong> components are: (i) Laying of a new Distribution System, Construction ofElevated Level Storage Reservoir (ELSR), and (ii) Construction of Water Treatment Plant (WTP) includingIntake Well, Raw Water Rising Main and Clear Water Rising Main.This EA report covers the general environmental profile of Badvel and includes an overview of the potentialenvironmental impacts and their magnitude on physical, ecological, economic, and social and culturalresources within the subproject’s influence area during design, construction, and operation stages. AnEnvironmental Management Plan (EMP) is also proposed as part of this report which includes mitigationmeasures for significant environmental impacts during implementation of the <strong>Project</strong>, environmentalmonitoring program, and the responsible entities for mitigation and monitoring.1.2 Extent of the EA StudyThis EA report was prepared on the basis of detailed screening and analysis of all environmentalparameters, field investigations and stakeholder consultations to meet the requirements for environmentalassessment process and documentation per SEAMF and Government of India Environmental ImpactAssessment (EIA) Notification of 2006.1.3 Applicable LegislationThe implementation of sub-projects proposed under APMDP will be governed by the Environmental Acts,Rules, Policies, and Regulations of the GoI and the state of <strong>Andhra</strong> <strong>Pradesh</strong>. These regulations imposerestrictions on the activities to minimize/mitigate likely impacts on the environment.1.3.1 World bank PolicyThe policies involve in the projects under APMDP,• World Bank Operational Policy 4.11 on Cultural property• Environmental policy of TRANSCO• Operational Policy 4.01 (Environmental Assessment of projects)• OP 4.36 (Forestry)World Bank (WB) requires the consideration of environmental issues in all aspects of WB’s operations, andthe requirements for Environmental Assessment are described in EA guideline. This states that WB requiresenvironmental assessment of all project loans, program loans, sector loans, sector development programloans, loans involving financial intermediaries, and private sector loans.1


Comprehensive Planning of Water Supply Service improvements In the following ULBs (1) Ananthapur <strong>Municipal</strong> Corporation,(2) Chittoor <strong>Municipal</strong>ity and (3) Badvel <strong>Municipal</strong>ityBadvel <strong>Municipal</strong>ity – Detailed <strong>Project</strong> Report (Final) - EnvironmentScreening and Categorization:Based on the severity of the impacts due to the sub-projects on the people, the sub-projects can be dividedinto three main categories.• Category – EA Sub-projects: A sub-project is classified as Category – EA if it is likely to havesignificant adverse social and/or environmental impacts that are sensitive, diverse or unprecedented.These impacts may affect an area broader than the sites or facilities subject to physical works.• For a Category EA sub-project, a detailed environmental assessment along with an environmentalmanagement plan is necessary. This should examine the projects potential negative and positiveenvironmental impacts, compare them with those of feasible alternatives (including the “without project”situation), and recommend any measures needed to prevent, minimize, mitigate or compensate foradverse impacts.1• Category –EB Sub-projects: A proposed sub-project would be classified as category – EB if it is likelyto have potential adverse environmental impacts on human populations but such impacts are lessadverse than those that fall under the Category – EA. These impacts are site specific; few if any ofthem are irreversible; and in most cases mitigation measures can be designed more readily than for acategory – EA projects.• For sub-projects falling in the Category – EB, an environmental status report along with anEnvironmental Management Plan will have to be prepared. Like in the sub-projects falling in Category –EA, the potential negative and positive environmental impacts for the projects under Category – EB willhave to be identified and measures needed to prevent, minimize, mitigate or compensate for adverseimpacts should be examined.• Category – EC Sub-projects: A proposed sub-project is classified as category – EC if it is likely tohave minimal or no adverse social and/or environmental impacts. Beyond screening no further action isrequired for a Category – EC project.However, irrespective of the categorization of the sub-project, if the investment falls in an environmentallysensitive location, a detailed assessment would be done for the sub-project. Such locations include:• Tribal habitats• Natural habitats• Coastal regulation zones• Cultural sites/monuments/heritage structures• Urban forestry/reserved forestEnvironmental Management PlanAn EMP which addresses the potential impacts and risks identified by the environmental assessment shallbe prepared. The level of detail and complexity of the EMP and the priority of the identified measures andactions will be commensurate with the <strong>Project</strong>’s impact and risks.Public DisclosureAs per World Bank policy the EA for the sub-project shall be disclosed to the public by making the hard copyavailable at ULB as well as CDMA-MSU for public reference. The periodic progress of the sub-project1 Sub projects irrespective of their type, scale or any other parameter that are falling in locations or areas specific tonatural habitats, tribal habitations, cultural sites, heritage constructions, religious monuments, coastal regulation zones,urban forestry or reserved forests shall undergo detailed environmental assessment.2


Comprehensive Planning of Water Supply Service improvements In the following ULBs (1) Ananthapur <strong>Municipal</strong> Corporation,(2) Chittoor <strong>Municipal</strong>ity and (3) Badvel <strong>Municipal</strong>ityBadvel <strong>Municipal</strong>ity – Detailed <strong>Project</strong> Report (Final) - Environmentinvestment at each stage should be displayed at the construction sites. It should consist of the followingparameters• Number of complaints received and addressed• Finance spent and progress• Estimated time for completion1.3.2 National LawThe new EIA Notification of 2006 of GoI, which replaces the EIA Notification of 1994, requires environmentalclearance for certain defined activities/projects. This Notification classifies the projects/activities that requireenvironmental clearance (EC) into ‘A’ and ‘B’ categories depending on the impact potential and/or scale ofproject. For both category projects, prior environmental clearance is mandatory before any constructionwork, or preparation of land except for securing the land, is started on such project or activity. Clearanceprovisions are as follows:• Category ‘A’ projects require prior environmental clearance from the MoEF, Government of India 2 ;• Category ‘B’ projects require prior environmental clearance from the State Environment ImpactAssessment Authority (SEIAA) 3 ; and• This Notification provides that, any project or activity specified in Category ‘B’ will be treated asCategory A, if located in whole or in part within 10 km from the boundary of protected areas, notifiedareas and inter-state and international boundaries 4 . Also, in the case where a SEIAA does not exist,Category B project will be reviewed by the MoEF and reclassified as Category A.Consequently, the only APMDP subproject listed in the EIA Notification of 2006 Schedule of <strong>Project</strong>sRequiring Prior Environmental Clearance is solid waste facilities, otherwise referred to as Common <strong>Municipal</strong>Solid Waste Facilities (CMSWF). Common municipal solid waste management facilities qualify as CategoryB projects and are thus reviewed by the respective SEIAA. For solid waste facilities, the Government of Indiafurther ensures environmental safeguards through its <strong>Municipal</strong> Solid Waste Management and HandlingRules (SWMHR), 2000 as published under MoEF.Therefore, Environmental Clearance (EC) is not required for this water supply subproject at Badvel.2 For Category A projects, based on the preliminary details provided by the project proponent as per Notification, theExpert Appraisal Committee (EAC) of MoEF, determine comprehensive TOR for EIA studies. This TOR will be finalizedwithin 60 days. On the recommendation of the EAC based on EIA studies, MoEF provides the EC.3 The B category projects will be further divided by State Level EAC into B1 – that require EIA studies and B2 – no EIAstudies. The State Level EAC will determine TOR for EIA studies for B1 projects within 60 days. On the recommendationof the State level EAC based on EIA studies, SEIAA provides the EC.4 (i) Protected Areas notified under the Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972, (ii) Critically Polluted areas as notified by theCentral Pollution Control Board from time to time, (iii) Notified Eco-sensitive areas, (iv) inter-State boundaries andinternational boundaries.3

This is one of a series of subprojects designed by the APMDP that areintended to raise the standards of the municipal infrastructure and services of Badvel town and the otherurban centres to those expected of modern Asian towns.Category: Environmental examination indicates the proposed subproject falls within World Bank’senvironmental Category EB projects. The <strong>Project</strong> components will only have small-scale, localized impactson the environment, and can be mitigated. Under World Bank procedures such projects require a limited EAto identify and mitigate the impacts.Need: Badvel <strong>Municipal</strong>ity was constituted on the 15th May 2006 by merging four Gram Panchayats viz.,Badvel, Madakalavaripalle, Gunthapalle and Chennampalle of Kadappa District. Badvel is Grade III<strong>Municipal</strong>ity. It is feelt that Chances of extending underground sewerage facility to Badvel town in immediatefuture is remote. Accordingly per capita water supply to Badvel town may be taken as 70 lpcd as suggestedin water supply manual.The sub-project is needed because the present water supply system of Badvel is inadequate for the needs ofthe growing population. Total supply of water is about 2.78 MLD. In respect to present population and as persituation assessment the water requirement in 2011 is 7.41 MLD. Thus the overall deficiency is 4.63 MLD.Moreover the storage and distribution network is insufficient to meet even present requirements.Improvement in the water supply system has been identified as a major priority in the Badvel town.The objective of this sub-project is to provide wholesome potable water @ 70 lpcd to 100% population,throughout the day in 24x7 module, at required minimum pressure head as stipulated in the Design basis.2.2 Location and Implementation ScheduleThe subproject is located in Badvel town of Kadapa District, in the south east part of <strong>Andhra</strong> <strong>Pradesh</strong> insouthern India. The proposed infrastructures will be located in and around the town. District map of Kadapa,location of Badvel in <strong>Andhra</strong> <strong>Pradesh</strong> and <strong>Municipal</strong> area of Badvel town is shown in Figure 1, 2 and 3respectively.Detailed design was started by Consultant in the month of January 2011 and completed in July 2011.Tendering process is expected to be completed by December, 2012. <strong>Project</strong> implementation is likely to startin January, 2012 and is likely to be completed by end of 2015.Annexure 1 shows photograph of project locations.6

The raw water demandfor 2026 is 11.52 MLD (0.15 TMC) and the same for 2040 is 17.83 MLD (0.23 TMC) for the Core <strong>Municipal</strong>area. Government of A.P. vide Memo No.23375/WRG/2011-2, dt.03-12-2011 have accorded permission fordrawal of 0.25 TMC of water from Sri Pothuluri Veera Brahmendra Swamy Reservoir(SPVBR) for drinkingwater facility to Badvel <strong>Municipal</strong>ity, subject to availability of surplus water from Krishna River throughPothireddypadu Head Regulator.Intake: There is no intake facility of water for Badvel from dam. The water from the reservoir will be drawn byconstructing an Intake structure near the saddle dam. Water from the reservoir will be pumped andtransferred to the WTP through a pumping main.WTP: At present there is no Water Treatment Plant for Badvel. It is proposed to construct a Water TreatmentPlant of 9 MLD for Midterm period and increase the capacity to 18 MLD WTP by constructing additional onemodule of 9 MLD for meeting the ultimate demand. The WTP will be located on the hillock adjacent to theSPVBR.Rising Main: The water from the WTP will flow by gravity to the different ELSRs to be constructed in differentplaces in the town. Some of the existing ELSRs will also be used. But with the increase of total water drawllaying of new rising main is essential.Distribution System: Existing water distribution from the reservoirs is through a network of AC/ uPVCpipelines of 80 mm sizes. At present total length of pipe line is about 64 km. The pipe network covers about70% of the municipal area. The rest of the area is either served by municipal tankers or through hand pumpfitted bore wells. Under the present project the distribution system will be fully replaced by new lines to meetthe requirements for the year 2040.ELSR: At present there are total 16 reservoirs (13 ELSR + 3 GLSR) in the Badvel town, of these only 3numbers will be utilized. As per proposed plan seven new ELSRs will be constructed. The land eitherbelongs to the <strong>Municipal</strong>ity or other Government department and no acquisition of land is necessary.

On an average the ground levelvaries from 140 to 150 m above MSL.Topographical contour map of the project area is shown in Annexure 3.3.1.2 Geology and soilThe town of Badvel which falls in the Kadapa (YSR) district is mainly associated with schists, amphibolites,granites and doleritic type of rock formations. The schists and amphibolites have been intruded by graniteson a large scale. Years ago, these rocks might have formed extensive out crops but denudation hasremoved most of them. The massive granitic rocks found in these areas are mainly of two distinct types. Themost common type is the very coarse grained types for example feldspar, quartz, mica and sometimesepiodate. The other distinct type of granitic rock formations has a white or pale flesh colour and has smallgrain size. The granites and the older rocks were intruded by basic igneous rocks as dykes. These dykes aregenerally represented by dolerites.The soil type found in this area is generally ferrugenious (red coloured) loam. This soil is generally of poorquality and extends only to a small depth below the ground level. The top soil has a thickness of 1 – 2 m.The top soil is followed by weathered shales which generally has a thickness of 10 – 15 m. The weatheredzone is followed by fractured shales and phyllites.Table 3.1.2.-1 indicates soil condition in and around the project location. Soil bearing capacity is sufficient forconstruction of structure.11

In southernzone rainfall ranges from 700 to 800 mm while it is 500 to 700 mm rainfall in scarce rainfall zone. Kadapa(YSR) is one of the districts in Rayalaseema area, with an un-even, isolated rainfall in different parts of thedistrict and with large dry tracts. The rainfall of Kadapa district is mainly influenced by South-West monsoonand part of the district viz., Rajampet, Kodur, Rayachoty and L. R. Palli Mandals receiving the rainfall fromNorth-East Monsoon also. The normal rainfall of the district is 700 mm as against the state average of 940mm.The weather of the town is generally hot and partially humid which is common in any tropical area. Thesummer usually extends from February to June, the rainy season is from July to October and winter seasonis from November to January. The temperature of the town varies from 20 0 to 45 0 C. The average annualrainfall in Badvel town area is about 700 mm. For the last two years draught condition is prevailing causingfall in the static water table in the bore wells with consequent drop in yield from them. As a result there is anacute problem of water supply during the summer season. During winter the temperature generally rangesfrom 20 0 to 27 0 C.3.1.5 Surface water Status and QualityThe rivers in the Kadapa district are non-perennial in nature and mostly remain dry throughout the year. Theimportant rivers in the district are Ponnai, which is a tributary of river Palar, and Swarnamukhi. They rise inthe Eastern Ghats and finally enter Nellore district. Some of the other important rivers of the district are theKushasthali, Bheema, Bahuda, Pincha, Kalyani, Araniyar and the Pedderu. In addition, there are a numberof small streams flowing by the hills in the district.The river Sagileru and the river Penna are the main rivers passing near Badvel, these are not perennial. Insummer there is no sub-surface flow in these rivers. As such it is not possible to collect any water from thebed of these rivers.Surface WaterOther surface water sources near Badvel are:• Surface water of Lakshmi Palle Tank.• Surface water of Badvel Tank.• Surface water of the SPVBR reservoir.Of the above three sources, the Lakshme Palle Tank and Badvel Tank are traditionally used for supplyingirrigation water for cultivation purposes. It is practically impossible to convert these into drinking watersources. The tanks receive only rainwater and hence not reliable from the point of sustainability. It has beenobserved that the tanks become dry in summer period. Hence, these sources cannot be considered as asustainable source of water for Badvel town.Surface Water of SPVBR ReservoirThe water from SPVBR reservoir, which is a part of Telugu Ganga <strong>Project</strong>, has sufficient capacity to meetthe requirements of Badvel town for the design horizon of 2040. This reservoir is popularly known asBhrahmasagar Reservoir. The reservoir is located at a distance of about 30 km from Badvel town. Thesalient features of the SPVBR are given below:• Reservoir bed level : 198.00 m• Maximum water level (MWL) : 217.50 m• Reservoir bund level : 220.50 m• Lowest bed level : 170.00 m• Full reservoir level : 215.00 m• Total capacity of reservoir : 17.735 TMC13

Theresults are shown in Table 3.1.5-1. Annexure 4 shows all 23 parameters of tested water along with specifiedstandard and analysis methodology. Results show that in all the cases concentrations of measuredparameters are well below the permissible limit. Coliform is reported in reservoir water sample. Higherconcentration of BOD at Brahmasagar could be due to presence of decomposable leaf material (organicload) in water. Oxygen is required for decomposition of the plant leaf materials. Reservoir water is suitablefor consumption after treatment.Table 3.1.5-1: Surface water quality of Brahmasagar reservoirSamples DOmg/lBODmg/lCODmg/lpH TotalcoliformTDSmg/lPbmg/lFmg/lClmg/lBrahma Sagar-1 6.4 11.0 Nil 7.6 1300 167 Nil 0.2 65Brahma Sagar-2 6.3 14.0 Nil 7.8 1100 154 Nil Nil 55Brahma Sagar-3 6.6 13.0 Nil 7.8 1609 143 Nil Nil 42Brahma Sagar-4 6.5 10.0 Nil 7.7 1300 198 Nil 0.2 50Brahma Sagar-5 6.4 16.0 Nil 7.7 1100 201 Nil 0.2 50Brahma Sagar-6 6.2 20.0 Nil 7.9 1609 137 Nil Nil 42Date of sampling- 09.09.2010, 09.11.2010, 10-11-2010, 19-11-2010, 15-11-2010 and 21-11-20113.1.6 Geohydrology and Ground water statusCumbhum shales underlie the Badvel town area. The top soil thickness generally varies from 1 – 2 mthickness followed by weathered shale with 10 to 15 m thickness. Fractured shales follow this. The depth offractured zones varies widely. Usually its thickness is more or less 60 m. Total depth of bore well is about100 m. The aquifer is semi confined. The static water table varies widely (4.5 to 25 m) in different parts of theyear. Usually 150 mm diameter top casing pipe is provided and thereafter the well is in naked bore within thehard rock. The water collected in the bore well through the cracks and fissures is pumped either by powerpump or by hand pump depending on the yield of the well. Each powered bore well is fitted with a set ofsubmersible pump and motor of 7.5 HP capacity.As per the <strong>Andhra</strong> <strong>Pradesh</strong> State Ground Water Department (APSGWD) Badvel falls in the critical zone,having a percentage (%) of development of groundwater in the range of 90 – 100 %. A study of the depth towater level below ground level data from May 1997 to April 2010 showed that the variation of ground watertable in Badvel municipality generally varies in between 5 – 30 m. The stage of development of ground waterwith the respective categories is indicated in Table 3.1.6-1.Table 3.1.6-1: Percentage stage of development of ground water versus categoryStage of development of groundwaterCategory100% Over ExploitedA study of the ground water quality data of water samples in and around Badvel as received from the DeputyDirector, Groundwater Department, Badvel shows that the tube wells in the Badvel area are having fluoride(3.15 mg/l) much above the acceptable limit of 1.5 mg/l.The litho logs as well as well assembly data of areas around Badvel <strong>Municipal</strong>ity indicates that the yield ofthe tube wells is low. Yield varies from 80 lpm to 200 lpm. The average yield being 140 lpm.Ground water from bore well of Badvel town is tested for determination of suitability for drinking. The resultsare shown in Table 3.1.6-2 below. Annexure 4 shows all 24 parameters of tested water along with specified14

Results indicate that bore well water and supply water is more or lesssuitable for consumption after treatment. Water samples contain high COD which is due to chemicalcontamination of water. Presence of residual chlorine is reported in tap water, which is due to excesschlorination. Total dissolved solid, total alkalinity and hardness are medium to high and in most of casesabove the desirable limit (Ref. Annexure 4) but within permissible limit. High level of TDS could be due topresence of earth metals in dissolved form. Fluoride is detected in all the samples and below the permissiblelimit. All the samples contain coliform bacteria.Table 3.1.6-2: Ground water quality of Badvel Borewell and Supply (Tap) waterSamplesBadvel <strong>Municipal</strong>ity 14th Ward,Kasineni Kandriga Bore water- 1Badvel <strong>Municipal</strong>ity 14th Ward,Kasineni Kandriga Bore water- 2Badvel <strong>Municipal</strong>ity 14th Ward,Vidya Nagar Tap- 1Badvel <strong>Municipal</strong>ity 14th Ward,Vidya Nagar Tap-2DOmg/lBODmg/lCODmg/lpHTotalcoliformTDSmg/lPbmg/lFmg/lClmg/l6.65 NIl Nil 7.94 480 408.0 Nil 0.8 85.06.25 Nil Nil 7.60 510 450.0 Nil 1.0 90.05.80 Nil 32.0 8.19 310 330.0 Nil 0.4 56.06.10 Nil 42.0 7.90 430 305.0 Nil 0.05 65.0Date of sampling- 09.11.2010, 09.09.2010 respectively3.1.7 Air and Noise QualityAmbient air quality and noise levels are measured at proposed Intake site and Water Treatment Plant majorconstruction locations.

In the year 2007 monitoring has been carried out atKadapa town by APPCB. The results show that annual average RSPM was 53 microgram/m3 (mediumrange) and TSPM was 264 microgram/m3 (high value).Traffic is the only significant pollutant in Kadapa aswell as Badvel, so levels of oxides of sulphur and nitrogen are likely to be well within the National AmbientAir Quality Standards (NAAQS).As per annual report of APPCB, they are monitoring the ambient air quality in the head quarters of theAnanthapur, Kadapa and Chittoor districts. The monthly average concentration of the RSPM and TSPM aregiven in the graph below.

The overall condition of the forest in thedistrict is not very good. The only distinction of the forest is that its most important spaces is the famouspterocaropus santalinus or red sanders, often referred to as 'Rakta-chandanam' or 'Yerra-chandanam' (redsandalwood). Since this is the only district of the country in which this species occurs, a positive conserveand extend them has been evolved. These forests fall under three zones wise those of Teral or Fuel Forestsupto an elevation of hundred feet, Hill Forests or Red Sanders lying between the elevation of 800 and 2000feet and Shoreaeugenla occupying elevations above 2000 feet.Mesophytic type of flora like Syzygium cumini (Neredu), Pongamia ghaira (Kanuga) and large trees ofTerminalia Arjuna (Erramaddi and Tellamaddi) are found. Large trees of mango, Phoenix sylvestris (lta) anddifferent types of grass along water courses are also found.Since there is no forest area nearby the project location the common faunal population mostly dominated bydomestic animal.3.3 Economic <strong>Development</strong>Besides its historical importance, the district has occupied an important place in the industrial map of <strong>Andhra</strong><strong>Pradesh</strong> with its highly valued rich mineral resources. The economy of Kadapa district partially depends onagriculture and as well as industry.As per Geological Survey of India 30 lakh tons of lead, 74,000,000 tons of barytes, 27000 tons of asbestosdeposits are there in Kadapa. It is estimated that 700 lakh tons of Barytes deposits might be there inMangampet. There are clay deposits in Rajampet. This is used to make stone implements. Limestone isavailable in Yerraguntla. Number of cement industries have been set up at Kadapa due to availability ofmineral. Kadapa is also famous for its stone called as "Kadapa stone" used in building construction and forslabs especially in the south India. There is a big value for Kadapa stone. The mineral resources and relatedindustries carry some part of state revenue.3.3.1 Land useOut of the total geographical area (15,37,838 ha) of Kadapa district, 33% (5,05,495 ha) of the area isoccupied by forests, 16% (2,40,392 ha) forms barren and uncultivable waste, 11% (1,65,587 ha) forms landput to non-agricultural purposes. The net area sown is, 370600 ha i.e., 24% of the total area. It is highest inPeddamudium and Rajupalem mandals with 69% and 68% respectively and lowest in Nandaluru, Vontimittaand B. Mattam with 6%, 6% and 9% respectively.Land use pattern of the Badvel town is shown below. It is noted from Table 3.3.1-1 that most of the landwithin Badvel town is vacant.

Thefirst variety lands are very fertile. Sandy soil lands are not so fertile. ‘Korra’, orange, lime and betel leaf is thespecial crops. They are cultivated near river beds. Starting at Sunkesula Dam on Tungabadra river Kurnool-Cuddapah (K.C) Canal flows through Kadapa and Kurnool districts providing water to 40 km² of cultivableland.Major irrigation sources in the district are K.C canal, the Mydukur and the Chapadu <strong>Project</strong>, the upperSagileru and lower Sagileru and the Pincha <strong>Project</strong>s. Paddy, Groundnut, Red gram, Cotton, Bengal gramare the major agricultural crops. Mango, Citrus, Banana, Melons, Papaya are the fruit crops. Turmeric,Onion, Chillies, Coriander, Vegetables and Chrysanthemum are other commercial crops grown in thedistrict. Fertile agricultural land is located near Badvel town.3.3.4 Infrastructure facility3.3.4.1 Water SupplyPresent water supply to the Badvel town at present is fully dependent on ground water. There are about 60power pump fitted bore wells and 310 hand pump fitted bore wells. Water from power pump fitted bore wellsis either taken to the Elevated Service Reservoir (ELSR) for distribution to the consumers through a networkof distribution system or directly pumped to the distribution system. On an average there are two bore wellsper ELSR. There are 24 bore wells which are pumping water to the ELSRs and the rest 36 bore wells aredirectly pumping water to the distribution system. Per capita supply of water is about 68 litres. Total supply ofwater is about 2.78 MLD.Other than the ground water there are few other sources of water for Badvel town. These are:Surface water of the Right Bank canal of the Sri Potuluri Veera Brahmendra Swami Reservoir (SPVBR)at/near Nandi Palle located about 8 km away from the town.• Surface water of Left bank canal of the SPBVR reservoir.• Surface water of Lakshmi Palle Tank.• Surface water of Badvel Tank.• Sub-Surface flow of the river Sagileru.• Sub-Surface flow of the river Penna.• Surface water of the SPVBR reservoir.Analysis shows that none of the above sources is perennial and sustainable except the SPVBR(Brahmasagar) reservoir water to meet the designed need of Badvel <strong>Municipal</strong>ity.The matter of sharing water for the Badvel <strong>Municipal</strong>ity from the Bhramasagar Reservoir was discussed withthe Superintending Engineer, Telegu Ganga <strong>Project</strong>. Water demand of Badvel <strong>Municipal</strong>ity area has beenestimated at 17.83 MLD for the year 2040. This is equivalent to around 0.25 TMC. During discussion, theSuperintending Engineer opined that Bhramasagar Reservoir has sufficient water to meet the drinking waterrequirement of Badvel <strong>Municipal</strong>ity area.3.3.4.2 Distribution SystemFor ease in distribution and maintenance, the town has been divided into four blocks. Each block has beendivided into small zones. Each zone is provided with a zonal reservoir and two bore wells. There are 13ELSRs of capacity varying from 40 KL to 200 KL. In addition there are 3 GLSRs of capacity varying from 15KL to 150 KL. Total storage capacity is 2040 KL. Water from the reservoirs is distributed through a networkof AC/uPVC pipelines of 80 mm sizes. Total length of pipe line is about 64 km. The pipe network coversabout 70% of the municipal area. Either the rest of the area is served by municipal tankers or through handpump fitted bore wells. There are about 4415 house connections.20

Each individual household has septic tank and theeffluent is either taken to a soak pit or discharged to the surface drain. The slum dwellers generally practiceopen defecation. Before the formation of the municipality, the Panchayat tried to promote Two-Pit Pour FlushLatrines. However, the program lost momentum after the formation of the municipality. The Consultant feelsthe program of providing latrine to each household should be given top most priority and the municipalityshould take appropriate steps in promoting latrine program through IEC activities and introduction ofincentives.Details of existing water supply and sewerage generation is summarized below.Table 3.3.4.3-1: Details of Existing Water SupplyDemand of water supply (in lit)Quantity of current supplySource of current supplyCurrent deficiencyDescription of water treatment statusPresent volume of sewage generated perday, from the beneficiaries householdsMode of disposal of sewage?

Anotherunit of 9 MLD will be constructed to meet the ultimatedemand (2040).2.22 MLDDrainPucca/ Kutcha DrainThere is no sewerage system in the town8.29 MLD in 2026, 12.84 MLD in 2040Sewerage is not within the scope of this project. Capacity ofsurface drain is sufficient to carry the increased sewage flow.3.3.4.4 Drainage SystemThe drainage of the town is implemented by surface drains, which ultimately discharge to nearby low-lyingareas. There are about 20 km long Pucca Surface and 12 km long Kuchha Surface drains.3.3.4.5 Solid Waste ManagementAccording to an estimate done by the <strong>Municipal</strong>ity on an average about 20 MT of solid waste is generated inthe town in each day which is disposed off by the municipality by simple dumping to fill up low lying areas.Contract labourers collect the garbage from the streets and the market places in cycle van and finallytransported to vats located in different places. From the vats, the garbage is collected in tractors andtransported to the low-lying dumping ground located outside the municipal limit.21

Though its history goes back tosecond century B.C., primarily it starts with Mourya & Satavahana dynasty as per the Archaeological surveyevidences. It was the battle field for several dynasties - Pallava, Chalukya, and Cholas who waged wars forgetting authority over South India.The Pallava kings penetrated from a time into the North of Kadapa districtand ruled for a certain period during the 5th century. Later on the Cholas defeated the Pallavas and theirrule appears to have lasted till the later part of the 8th century. Subsequently the next dynasty whichestablished its authority for a considerable period to be that of Banas.The district in its long history acquired composite culture. The people are hard-working and very hospitable.The population of the District consists of all important religious groups but the Hindus are in predominantnumber. In addition to Islam, the district came under the influence of Jainism and Buddhism also duringdifferent periods as Danavulapadu and Nandalur ancient sites suggest, Huen Tsang, Chinese traveler whotraveled through the district in 7th century AD recorded the existence of Sangharams (Buddhist monasteries)and nirgantha heretics (Jain). There is no authentic information available about the exact time of introductionof Islam into the district. But it is certain that Muslims inhabited the district as early as fourteenth century.Christianity was introduced into the district in the first half of eighteenth century by the Jesuit mission. Due toinfluence of different religions and beliefs, the people of the district acquired composite culture and secularattitude.The town of Badvel is named after famous poet Baddena, who wrote Sumathi Sathakam. Initially the namewas 'Baddenavolu'; it transformed later to 'Badvolu' and then to its current form 'Badvel'. The town hasbecome the center to more than 127 villages. This is the only town developed vastly with good educationalinstitutes.The famous Brahmamgari Mattam is located 30 kilometers from Badvel. Sree Potuluri Veera BrahmamendraSwami, known as the 'Nostradamus of India' wrote Kalagnanam (containing his prophesies). SriLankamalleswara Wildlife Sanctuary is closer to the villages of Jogireddy gari palli and Siddugari Palli, whichis famous tourist spot. The sanctuary is named after the Sri Lankamalleswaraswami temple located inside it.This temple was built by Janmejayamaharaj and is located close to a waterfall.There are no special sensitive locations nearby the project site. There are few religious places in sub-projectintervention areas, which are shown in Table 3.4.3-1. There is no as such prominent heritage site within subprojectintervention area.Table 3.4.3-1: Sensitive areas (religious place) in sub-project intervention areaName of theresourcesRadha KrishnaKalyana Mandapamand TempleRamulavari TempleMosqueChurchVeeranjaneya SwamiTempleImportance Protection status Area ofinterventionReligious No special protection – Near projectPlace Temple within town in location<strong>Municipal</strong> areaReligiousPlaceReligiousPlaceReligiousPlaceReligiousPlaceNo special protection –Temple within town in<strong>Municipal</strong> areaNo special protection –Mosque within town in<strong>Municipal</strong> areaNo special protection –Church within town in<strong>Municipal</strong> areaNo special protection –Temple within town in<strong>Municipal</strong> area23Near projectlocationNear projectlocationNear projectlocationNear projectlocationDescriptionLocation near proposeddistributionlineofMurutamanagar– outside theimpact zoneLocation near proposeddistribution line near Rajakulacolony – outside the impactzoneLocation near proposeddistribution line of Rajakulacolony – outside the impactzoneLocation near proposeddistribution line of Chemuduru– outside the impact zoneLocation near proposeddistribution line of NagalaCheruvu – outside the impactzone

It is assessed from the impact study that majority of theimpacts will be caused during construction phase of the project and are temporary in nature. Only somepositive impacts on socio-economic status is being revealed during operation phase. All these negativeimpacts can be mitigated through adoption of appropriate mitigation measures, and adopting soundengineering designs.Environmental Alternatives. Since the scope of the project only construction of intake structure,construction of water treatment plant, laying of rising mains, construction of water storage reservoirs, layingof pipes for distribution and inter connection through rising main, the impact is moderate. Practically in all theisolated project location government land is considered, therefore displacement of any community not arises.Laying of pipeline will be done within Right of Way (ROW) and which results no encroachment of agriculturalland and eviction of squatters. Site feasibility of all working components assessed during feasibility/screeningstage. In the screening exercise, areas of concern- congested market place on the sides of the road,existence of sensitive area, extent of physical displacement if any, etc. was studied in detail. The findingshave been used as inputs for engineering design to change the alignment of pipeline within the technicalrequirements and cost effectiveness.In case of Badvel town there is no alternative source other than SPVBR. Ground water is not suitable forconsumption since in most of the cases ground water contains fluoride. Moreover reserve of ground water isin critical stage, no further drawl is permitted.

As per EA guideline the impacts and risks will beanalyzed during pre-construction, construction, and operational stages in the context of the subproject’s areaof influence. As defined previously, the primary impact areas are (i) the sites for intake well, WTPs, servicereservoirs, raising mains, and pipe network alignments; (ii) main routes/intersections which will be traversedby construction vehicles; and (ii) quarries as sources of construction materials. The secondary impact areasare: (i) entire Badvel town area outside of the delineated primary impact area; and (ii) entire Kadapa districtin terms of over-all environmental improvement.In the case of this subproject (i) most of the individual elements are relatively small and involvestraightforward construction and operation, so impacts will be mainly localized and not greatly significant; (ii)most of the predicted impacts are associated with the construction process, and are produced because thatprocess is invasive, involving excavation and earth movements; and (iii) being located mainly in the built-uparea (except intake well) of Badvel, will not cause direct impact on biodiversity values. The subproject will bein properties held by the local government and access to the subproject area is thru public rights-of-way andexisting roads hence, land acquisition and encroachment on private property will not occur.5.1 Pre-construction – Location and Design5.1.1 Design of the proposed componentsThe project has been designed for 30-years life. The designed period for different sub-projects are: (1) RisingMains, Distribution System and Service Reservoirs – 30 Years (2) Pump and Motor – 15 Years and (3)Water Treatment Plant- 30years – in two phases of 15 years each in modular form5.1.2 Location of SourcesAvailability of ground water in near vicinity of town was discussed with Central Ground water Board. Themain constrain for withdrawal of ground water is non availability of sufficient ground water. Badvel falls in the26

An environmental feature of the project locations are given in Annexure 5.Following salient observations are noted• Most of the lands are open/ vacant government land, hence no land acquisition is needed• Very few trees need to be cut to accommodate project facility• Cutting of scrub is essential• There is no need of cutting and filling of earth is required at water storage reservoir sites. Only atWTP site near Bhramasagar reservoir some cutting and filling is required• No water body is located nearby the proposed project location except intake well location with thereservoir• In few cases educational institutes and religious places are located near the project locations butthese are all located outside the impact zone- mitigation measures will be applied duringimplementation of the project.• Almost in all cases location of water reservoirs are within the residential areas5.1.3 Distribution NetworkThe town has been sub-divided in 10 distribution zones. The designs considered the demands for the year2011, 2026, and 2040 and available production for the zones. The capacity of SRs required in each zonehas been worked out by the mass flow curve specified in the CPHEEO Manual on Water Supply andTreatment. Some of the existing SRs, though may be of very small capacity have been utilized in the system.5.1.4 UtilitiesTelephone lines, electric poles and wires, water lines within the existing right-of-way (ROW) may be locatedwithin the pipe line corridor, however telephone lines, power lines etc will be suitably avoided during laying ofpipeline.5.1.5 Water SupplyThere is no chance of closure of present scheme either during construction or during inter connection.Existing service connections will be disconnected after commissioning of the new system.5.1.6 Social and Cultural ResourcesKadapa is considered to be one of the districts endowed with rich history. Kadapa is a land of Mourya &Satavahana dynasty as per the Archaeological survey evidences. It was the battle field for several dynasties- Pallava, Chalukya, Cholas who waged wars for getting authority over South India. Moreover numbers ofreligious structures are there in Badvel town. There is a risk that any work involving ground disturbance canuncover and damage archaeological and historical remains. For this subproject, excavation will occur in andaround existing ROWs and specified government land, so it could be that there is a low risk of such impacts.Nevertheless, <strong>Project</strong> Implementation consultant will have:• Consideration of alternatives if the site is found to be of medium or high risk as per report ofArchaeological Dept.; and• Develop a protocol for use by the construction contractors in conducting any excavation work, toensure that any chance finds are recognised and measures are taken to ensure they are protectedand conserved. They will inform the ULB at the earliest.27

However, if it is deemed necessary to locate elsewhere, sitesto be considered shall not promote instability and result in destruction of property, vegetation, and drinkingwater supply systems. Extreme care will be taken to avoid disposals near the sensitive area which willinconvenience the community.5.1.8 Site selection of sources of materialsExtraction of materials can disrupt natural land contours and vegetation resulting in accelerated erosion,disturbance in natural drainage patterns, ponding and water logging, and water pollution. To mitigate thepotential environmental impacts, locations of quarry sites would be taken up by the project implementingauthority. The sites would be located away from population centres, drinking water intakes and streams,cultivable lands, and natural drainage systems; and in structurally stable areas even if some distance fromconstruction activities. It will be the construction contractor’s responsibility to verify the suitability of allmaterial sources and to obtain the approval of Urban Local Body.5.2 Construction5.2.1 Screening of No Significant ImpactsThe construction work is expected not to cause major negative impacts, mainly because:• Most of the activities will be on the built-up areas of Badvel town thus could be constructed withoutcausing impacts to biodiversity;• The site is located on an Government-owned land which is not occupied or used for any otherpurpose;• Overall construction program will be relatively short and is expected to be completed in 24 monthswith activities to be conducted by small teams working on short lengths at a time, so most impactswill be localized and short in duration; and• Most of the predicted impacts associated with the construction process are produced because theprocess is invasive, such as involving earth-moving and excavation. However, most of them can beeasily mitigated.As a result, there are several aspects of the environment which are not expected to be affected by theconstruction process and these can be screened out of the assessment at this stage as required by EAprocedure. These are shown in Table 5.2.1-1.Table 5.2.1-1: Fields in which construction is not expected to have significant impactsFieldTopography, Drainage, and NaturalHazardsGeology, Geomorphology, MineralResources, and SoilsClimateAir QualityGeo-hydrology and GroundwaterProtected AreasFloraLand UseSocio-economicRationaleActivities are not large enough to affect these features.Activities are not large enough to affect these features.

Construction of Jetty typeintake is easy even when the reservoir is full of water. Well type intake construction is easy when water levelin reservoir is low. Originally we proposed Jetty type intake. However, as suggested by the client, Well typeintake has been provided. Construction of coffer dam will be required for constructing well type intake. Theintake point was selected in consultation with the I&CAD department engineers. According to their recordswater will be available at this point throughout the year. Impacts are more or less same for construction ofany structure within the water.Distribution mains will be laid mainly along the road flanks of ROW. In some areas there is no road flank andthe road is stretched up to the building line. In such cases the trench will be dug along the edge of the roadavoiding the surface drains. Care will be taken to see that the utility services or the drains/ buildings are notaffected. Discussion was held with the R&B department engineers about the water supply project duringsurvey and design works. They have no objection for implementation of the water supply scheme. Sincesufficient ROB is available there is no need for acquisition of extra land outside ROW.Trenches will be dug using a backhoe digger, supplemented by manual digging where necessary. Excavatedsoil will be placed alongside, and the pipes (brought to site on trucks and stored on unused land nearby) willbe placed in the trench by hand or using a small rig for the larger Ductile Iron (DI) pipes. Pipes will be joinedby hand, after which sand from local quarries will be shovelled into the trench beneath and around the pipefor support and protection. Soil will then be replaced manually on top of the pipe and compacted by a vibrating compressor. Wheretrenches are dug into an existing roadway, the bitumen or concrete surface will be broken by hand-heldpneumatic drills, after which the trench will be excavated by backhoe and the appropriate surface will be reappliedon completion.Pipes are normally covered by 1.0 m of soil, and a clearance of 100 mm is left between the pipe and eachside of the trench to allow backfilling. Trenches will be smaller for the distribution main (minimum of 1.2 mdeep and 0.7 m wide).New pipes and connections to the distribution main will be provided to house connections, and these will runto individual dwellings in small hand-dug trenches, or on the surface. New consumer meters will be locatedoutside houses, attached to a wall or set onto the ground.ELSRs will be built on Government land/ municipal land at various locations in the town. The cavity for theground reservoirs and foundations for the overhead reservoirs will be excavated by backhoe, with soil beingloaded onto trucks for disposal. Aggregate and concrete will be tipped into each void to create thefoundations and floor, after which metal reinforcing rods will be added to create the outline of the walls of theground reservoir and the vertical supporting pillars of the overhead reservoir. Sections of reinforcing will thenbe encased in wooden shuttering and concrete will be poured in, and this process will be repeated togradually create each structure from reinforce cement concrete (RCC), including the tank of the overheadreservoir and the above-ground portion of the ground reservoir. Surfaces will be smoothed and finishedwhere necessary by hand.Small brick rooms will be built alongside WTPs to house the chlorination plant. The foundation will be dugand aggregate and concrete poured in to create the floors, after which the brick walls and roof materials willbe added by hand. Chlorine cylinders and other equipment (including flow-meters) will be brought in ontrucks and offloaded and attached by crane / hand. A small cavity for the chlorination sump and trenches forpipe-work will also be dug, and the sump will constructed both in concrete and brick.29

All excavation works will be carriedout using backhoe digger. Concrete mix will be poured to construct the civil structure. Once the mainstructure is completed the finishing works will be taken up. Thereafter the mechanical and electrical workswill be taken up later. On completion of all works trial run of the plant will be considered.5.2.3 Anticipated Impacts and Mitigation MeasuresAlthough construction of the subproject components involves quite simple techniques, the invasive nature ofexcavation, and in this case the relatively large size and length of the pipes, means that there will be quite alot of physical disturbance in the built-up areas of Badvel town where there are a variety of human activities.Physical impacts will be reduced by the method of working, whereby the trenches will be (i) constructed bysmall teams working on short lengths at a time; (ii) refilled and compacted after pipes are installed; and (iii) iftrenching done on roads, repaired to pre-construction conditions.Construction activity and short mitigation measures is depicted in Table below.Table 5.2.3-1: Construction activity and short term mitigationWork components Construction activity Preferablemethodology andusingofequipmentsConstruction of Civil construction- brick work Using concreteIntake, WTP, and concretingmixture duringELSRs, GLSRsconcreting workBrick work by handLaying of pipeline –rising main,distribution networkTrenching and placement ofpipes,backfilling,compaction by vibratingcompressor and removal ofexcess earth and restorationto original state.Breaking of bitumen orconcrete surface (as perroad condition), excavationof trench and follow theearlier procedurePreparation of trenchusing a backhoedigger, supplementedby manual digging;placement of pipe bycrane and manually,compacting by avibrating compressor;restoration of road bystandard roadconstruction processBreaking of bitumenor concrete surface(as per roadcondition) will bebroken by hand-heldpneumatic drills afterwhich the trench willbe excavated bybackhoe digger andfollowed the samemethodology asmentioned earlierShort term Mitigation• Control of dust bywater sprinkling• Use of personalprotectiveequipment (PPE)like helmet,gumboot, handgloves, nose mask,ear plugs etc.• Use of personalprotectiveequipment (PPE)like helmet,gumboot, handgloves, nose musk,etc.• Removal of excessearth after filling uptrenches andcompaction• Arrangement ofPollution undercontrol certificatesfor differentequipments• Scheduling of work• Traffic managementplan• Alternativearrangement ofpedestrianmovement nearexcavated areaRemarksCommon technology –application of minimummitigation measuresCommon technologyand best practices tominimize safety andoccupational healthhazardProgress is slow butimpact is less formanual excavation.Impact is more forexcavation byequipment but progressis fast.

Anticipated impacts include dusts and increase inconcentration of vehicle-related pollutants such as carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides, particulate matter, nitrousoxides, and hydrocarbons) but temporary and during construction activities only. To mitigate the impacts,construction contractors will be required to:• Consult with project implementation authority on the designated areas for stockpiling of clay, soils,gravel, and other construction materials;• Damp down exposed soil and any stockpiled on site by spraying with water when necessary during dryweather; and• Use tarpaulins to cover sand and other loose material when transported by trucks; and• Conduct air quality monitoring at sensitive receptors within project area like Church – near Nandipalli. Mosque – near Old Panchayat Office Temple – Veeranjanelaya Swami temple near Middolapalem Temple – Pattabhi Ramalyamnear Surendranagar Temple – Backside of Balaji residenceand Major residential areas.Surface Water QualityConstruction activities will be conducted throughout the town even near the drains flowing to nallahs andwater bodies. Mobilization of settled silt materials, run-off from stockpiled materials, and chemicalcontamination from fuels and lubricants during construction works can contaminate surface water qualityparticularly at intake location. These potential impacts are temporary and short-term duration only and toensure these are mitigated, construction contractor will be required to:31

However, construction works will be on settlements, alongschools, and areas with small-scale businesses. The sensitive receptors are the general population in theseareas. Increase in noise level may be caused by earth-moving and excavation equipment, and thetransportation of equipment, materials, and people. Impact is negative, short-term, and reversible bymitigation measures. The construction contractor will be required to:• Plan activities in consultation with <strong>Project</strong> Implementation authority so that activities with the greatestpotential to generate noise are conducted during periods of the day which will result in least disturbance;• Horns not be used unless it is necessary to warn other road users or animals of the vehicle’s approach;• Minimize noise from construction equipment by using vehicle silencers, and portable street barriers thesound impact to surrounding sensitive receptor;• Maintain maximum sound levels not exceeding 80 decibels (dbA) when measured at a distance of 10 mor more from the vehicle/s; and• Conduct noise level monitoring at sensitive receptors and major residential areasFlora and Fauna resourcesThere is no protected area nearby the project site. It is noted that 8 number of trees need to be cut for layingof rising main. During construction phase construction contractor will try to save few trees after consultationwith project implantation authority.Table 5.2.3 -2 shows number of trees need to fell. Location of trees to befelled has shown in Annexure 2 map on water supply scheme.Table 5.2.3-2 Total number of trees that would be destroyed due to sub-project intervention areas-Rising main locationName of the species Azardarichta indica Eucalyptus spp. Albizia lebbeck Caesalpinia pulcherrimaNumber of trees 4 2 1 1Potential impacts are negative and long-term but reversible by mitigation measures. The constructioncontractors will be required to:• Minimize removal of vegetation and disallow unnecessary cutting of trees;• Obtain tree-cutting permit from Urban Local Body; and• Require to plant three (3) native trees for every one (1) that is removed, i.e. plantation of 24 treesagainst 8 fellExisting Infrastructure and FacilitiesExisting infrastructure facilities like telephone lines, power lines etc will be suitably avoided during pipelinelaying.

These impacts are negative but short-term and reversible by mitigationmeasures. The construction contractor will be required to:• Manage solid waste according to the following preference hierarchy: reuse, recycling and disposal todesignated areas as per ULB;• Avoid stockpiling of excess excavated soils;• Coordinate with Badvel <strong>Municipal</strong>ity for beneficial uses of excess excavated soils or immediatelydispose to designated areas;• Disposal of oil and lubricants as per hazardous waste handling & disposal rules;It is estimated that volume of excess earth generation due to pipe line laying,• Distribution System – Zone 1- 22510 Cum, Zone 2- 992 Cum. , Zone 3- 5012 Cum, Zone 4- 2358Cum, Zone 5 – 13177 Cum, Zone – 6 – 22830 Cum, Zone 7 – 21004 Cum, Zone 8 – 7894 Cum,Zone 9- 7580 Cum, Zone – 10 – 5071 CumExcess earth can be disposed in filling low lying pockets within the ULB namely, Chinna Kessam Palle,Panga Palle, Bakarampeta(South), Gandhi Nagar and other approvedareas.Surface and Groundwater QualityAnother physical impact that is often associated with excavation is the effect on drainage and the local watertable if groundwater and surface water collects in the voids. To ensure that water will not pond in pits andvoids near sub-project sites, the construction contractor will be required to conduct excavation works duringnon-monsoon season.AccessibilityHauling of construction materials and operation of equipment on-site can cause traffic problems and conflictsin ROW. Potential impact is negative but short term and reversible by mitigation measures. For safety oflocal people, Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) Guidelines- Water and sanitation (2007) prepared byWorld Bank Group is being followed. The construction contractor will be required to:• Plan transportation routes so that heavy vehicles do not use narrow local roads, except in the immediatevicinity of delivery sites;• Schedule transport and hauling activities during non-peak hours;• Locate entry and exit points in areas where there is low potential for traffic congestion;• Keep the site free from all unnecessary obstructions;• Drive vehicles in a considerate manner;• Coordinate with Traffic Police department for temporary road diversions and with for provision of trafficaids if transportation activities cannot be avoided during peak hours; and• Notify affected sensitive receptors by providing sign boards informing nature and duration of constructionworks and contact numbers for concerns/complaints.Road crossings, where implementation of traffic management plan will be required are shown in the map ofdistribution system. Highways are proposed to be crossed by pipe jacking technique. For other roads workwill be executed in two phases of 50% each to avoid traffic diversion.There are number of villages along transmission main from Intake/ Treatment Plant to town. Name of thevillages along the pipeline route are Kumarikottalu, Chennampalle, Thottigarapalli, Mondipalli, Rajupetavillage, Paddi Raju Palli, Dirsha Vancha Village, Kammavaripalli, Chwtapalli, Thumalla Palli, Upucheruuvu,Diguvagu, Eguvanalatur, Gundapuram, G.

However constructionworks will impede the access of residents and customers to nearby shops. The potential impacts arenegative and moderate but short-term and temporary. The construction contractor will be required to:• Leave spaces for access between mounds of soil;• Provide walkways and metal sheets where required to maintain access across trenches for peopleand vehicles;• Increase workforce in front of critical areas such as institutions, place of worship, businessestablishment, hospitals, and schools;• Provide sign boards for pedestrians to inform nature and duration of construction works and contactnumbers for concerns/complaints.Socio-Economic – EmploymentManpower will be required during the 24-months construction stage. This can result to generation ofcontractual employment and increase in local revenue. Thus potential impact is positive and long-term. Theconstruction contractor will be required to:• Employ local labour force within the 2-km immediate area if manpower is available; and• Procure construction materials from local market, if BIS quality materirals are available .Occupational Health and SafetyWorkers need to be mindful of the occupational hazards which can arise from working in trenches andexcavation works. Potential impacts are negative and long-term but reversible by mitigation measures.Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) Guidelines- Water and sanitation (2007) prepared by World BankGroup are used as a reference for framing of mitigation measures. The EHS Guidelines contain theperformance levels and measures that are generally considered to be achievable in new facilities by existingtechnology at reasonable costs. Application of the EHS Guidelines to existing facilities may involve theestablishment of site-specific targets, with an appropriate timetable for achieving them.The construction contractor will be required to:• Implement site-specific Health and Safety (H and S) Plan which will include measures such as: (a)excluding public from the site; (b) ensuring all workers are provided with and use Personal ProtectiveEquipment (PPE) like helmet in case of working at height, gloves and gumboots at concretinglocations, nose mask at dust producing areas, safety belt during work at height; (c) H and STraining 5 for all site personnel; (d) documented procedures to be followed for all site activities; and(e) documentation of work-related accidents;• Ensure that qualified first-aid can be provided at all times ( at working sites and camp). First Aid boxshall be easily accessible throughout the site;• Provide medical insurance coverage for workers;5Some of the key areas that may be covered during training as they relate to the primary causes of accidents include (i)slips, trips and falls; (ii) personal protective equipment; (iii) ergonomics, repetitive motion, and manual handling; (iv)workplace transport; and (v) legislation and responsibilities. Training can provide the foundations of competence but itdoes not necessarily result in a competent worker. Therefore, it is essential to assess staff competence to ensure thatthe training provided is relevant and effective. Supervision and monitoring arrangementsshall be in place to ensurethat training has been effective and the worker is competent at their job. The level of supervision and monitoringrequired is a management decision that shall be based on the risks associated with the job, the level of competencerequired, the experience of the individual and whether the worker works as part of a team or is a lone worker.34

The use of hearing protection shall be enforced actively.Community Health and SafetyHazards posed to the public, specifically in high-pedestrian areas may include traffic accidents and vehiclecollision with pedestrians. Potential impact is negative but short-term and reversible by mitigation measures.The construction contractor will be required to:• Plan routes to avoid times of peak-pedestrian activities.• Liaise with project implementation authority in identifying high-risk areas on route cards/maps.• Use of safety caution tape/ barricade at excavated area (overhead tank locations and pipe layinglocation)Work CampsOperation of work camps can cause temporary air and noise pollution from machine operation, waterpollution from storage and use of fuels, oils, solvents, and lubricants. Potential impacts are negative butshort-term and reversible by mitigation measures. The construction contractor will be required to:• Consult with project implementation authority before locating project offices, sheds, and constructionplants;• Provide water and sanitation facilities for employees;• Prohibit employees from cutting of trees for firewood;• Train employees in the storage and handling of materials which can potentially cause soilcontamination;• Manage solid waste according to the following preference hierarchy: reuse, recycling and disposal todesignated areas;• Remove all wreckage, rubbish, or temporary structures (such as buildings, shelters, and latrines)which are no longer required; and• Request project implementation consultant to report in writing that the camp has been vacated andrestored to pre-project conditions before acceptance of work.Through preliminary survey the following locations have been selected for setting up camp sites and storageof materials• Peddaraju Palli – 10 Km from Sagileru River- land on both side• Maladurupadu -18 Km from Sagileru River – 4 acre land on right side while moving fro Badvel toWTP• Maladurupadu- 20 Km from Sagileru River• Gunclapuram –21 Km from Sagileru River• Narasimhapuram –22 Km from Sagileru River• Choudhariwari Palli –27 Km from Sagileru River35

Nevertheless, the construction contractor will be required to:• Strictly follow the protocol for chance finds in any excavation work;• Stop work immediately to allow further investigation if any finds are suspected; and• Inform project implementation authority if a find is suspected, and take any action they requireensuring its removal or protection in situ.5.3 Operation and Maintenance5.3.1 Screening out areas of no significant impactBecause a water supply system should operate without the need for major repair and maintenance (seebelow), there are several environmental sectors which should be unaffected once the system begins tofunction. These are identified in Table 5.3.1-1 below, with an explanation of the reasoning in each case.These factors are thus screened out of the impact assessment and need not be mentioned further.Table 5.3.1-1: Fields in which Operation and Maintenance of the Completed Water Supply System isnot expected to have Significant ImpactsFieldClimateFisheries and aquatic biologyCoastal resourcesIndustriesRationaleExtraction and use of water from reservoir will not affect climateIntake of water do not support a significant aquatic flora or faunaBadvel is not located in a coastal area.The water supplied by the new system will not be for industrial use5.3.2 Operation and Maintenance of the Improved Water Supply SystemOperation and Maintenance (O & M) of the water supply system will be the responsibility of ULB. A smallnumber of people will be employed to operate and maintain the WTP, intakes, and SRs sites. ULB willemploy local contractors to conduct network repairs, and contractors should be required to operate the samekinds of H and S procedures as used in the construction phase to protect workers and the public.The system have a design life of 30 years, during which shall not require major repairs or refurbishments andshould operate with little maintenance beyond routine actions required to keep the pumps and otherequipment in working order. The stability and integrity of the system will be monitored periodically to detectany problems and allow remedial action if required. Any repairs will be small-scale involving manual,temporary, and short-term works involving regular checking and recording of performance for signs ofdeterioration, servicing and replacement of parts.The main requirement for maintenance of the transmission/rising mains and distribution system will be for thedetection and repair of leaks. The generally flat topography and the usage of good quality DI and HDPEpipes should mean that pipeline breaks are very rare, and that leaks are mainly limited to joints betweenpipes. The repair of household connections and the provision of new connections to slums and developingareas to increase the number of people supplied should reduce the incidence of illegal connections, whichare often a major source of leaks.During operation of water treatment plant, sludge will be generated. The possible management plan is shownbelow.36

Thesludge to begenerated is nontoxic.5.3.3 Anticipated Environmental Impacts and Mitigation MeasuresGeneral: The work will follow the same procedures during the construction stage. ULB needs to require its Oand M contractor to:• Prepare and submit Operational Manuals for WTP;• Prepare and submit Operational Manuals for the surface water intake and pump house;• Maintenance of WTP should be done as per supplier repairing guidelines,• Prior to discharge, ensure compliance of filter back wash water to Indian (Central Pollution ControlBoard) Effluent Discharge standard.• As far as possible conduct work during non-monsoon period;• Cover construction material like cement to prevent dusts; and• Refill and re-compact trenches soil and backfilled earth will be removed to expose the leakingjunction or pipe.Environmental issues associated with the WTP include: (i) solid waste; (ii) wastewater; (iii) hazardouschemicals; (iv)air emissions; and (v) ecological impacts.Solid WasteSolid waste residuals which may be generated by the WTP include process residuals, spent media andmiscellaneous wastes. Process residuals primarily consist of settled suspended solids from source water andchemicals added in the treatment process, such as coagulants. Coagulation (e.g. ferric hydroxide), and ironwill produce sludge. Composition of the sludge depends on the treatment process and the characteristics ofthe source water, and other organic compounds, microorganisms, etc. ULB needs to require its O and Mcontractor to:• Dispose periodically the muddy sludge generated from the WTP which will be collected in sludgepond for filling of low lying areas.;• Dispose of ferric alum sludge by land application, if allowed and if such application can be shownthrough modelling and sampling to have no adverse impacts on groundwater or surface water (e.g.from nutrient runoff); and37

These waste streams may containsuspended solids and organics from the raw water, dissolved solids, high or low pH, etc.The Consultant has recommended for recirculation of back wash water in the design of WTP.Annexure 6shows the Indian standard for discharge of effluent in environment.Hazardous ChemicalsWater treatment may involve the use of chemicals for coagulation, disinfection and water conditioning. ForWTP that will use chlorine gas.The following provisions has been made in the project:• Installation of alarm and safety systems, including automatic shutoff valves, that are automaticallyactivated when a chlorine release is detected;• Installation of containment and scrubber systems to capture and neutralize chlorine should a leakoccur;• Use of corrosion-resistant piping, valves, metering equipment, and any other equipment coming incontact with gaseous or liquid chlorine, and keep this equipment free from contaminants, including oiland grease;• Storage of chlorine away from all sources of organic chemicals, and protect from sunlight, moisture,and high temperatures;• Minimize the amount of chlorination chemicals stored on site while maintaining a sufficient inventory tocover intermittent disruptions in supply; and• Planned for responding to accidental releases.Estimated monthly requirements of chlorine and ferric alum are:• Chlorine – 0.75 MT• Ferric Alum – 1.875 MTAir EmissionsAir emissions from water treatment operations may include gaseous or volatile chemicals used fordisinfection processes (e.g., chlorine). Measures related to hazardous chemicals discussed above willmitigate risks of chlorine release.Ecological ResourcesThere are no significant ecological resources in or around the town, so any repairs or maintenance work canbe conducted without ecological impacts. As there is no significant flora and fauna in or around project site,there should also not be any ecological impacts from water abstraction.Economic <strong>Development</strong>Although network repairs could result in shops losing some business if the work means that access is difficultfor customers, any losses will be small and short-lived and will probably be at the level of normal businessfluctuations. It should therefore not be necessary to compensate for such losses. Nevertheless <strong>Municipal</strong>ityneeds to require its O and M contractor to:• Inform all residents and businesses about the nature and duration of any work well in advance so thatthey can make preparations if necessary;38


Comprehensive Planning of Water Supply Service improvements In the following ULBs (1) Ananthapur <strong>Municipal</strong> Corporation,(2) Chittoor <strong>Municipal</strong>ity and (3) Badvel <strong>Municipal</strong>ityBadvel <strong>Municipal</strong>ity – Detailed <strong>Project</strong> Report (Final) - Environment• Conduct these works to provide wooden walkways across trenches for pedestrians and metal sheetswhere vehicle access is required; and• Consult the local police regarding any such work so that it can be planned to avoid traffic disruption asfar as possible, and road diversions can be organised if necessary.The provision of an improved and expanded water supply system is not expected to have direct economicbenefits for business or industry, as connections will only be provided to domestic users. Howeverbusinesses will almost certainly benefit from the expected improvement in the health and wellbeing of theirworkforce as this should result in fewer days lost through illness, and overall increased productivity.Occupational Health and SafetyWorkers should have knowledge on occupational hazards which can arise from working in trenches andproject sites during repairing work. Potential impacts are negative but for short duration. Environmental,Health, and Safety (EHS) Guidelines- Water and sanitation (2007) developed by World Bank Group are usedas a reference for listing mitigation measures as follows,• Use personal flotation devices (PFDs) when working near waterways like intake structure• Use fall protection equipment when working at heights;• Maintain work areas to minimize slipping and tripping hazards;• Implement fire and explosion prevention measures in accordance with internationally acceptedstandards;• When installing or repairing mains adjacent to roadways, implement procedures and traffic controls,such as: Establishment of work zones so as to separate workers from traffic and from equipment as muchas possible; Reduction of allowed vehicle speeds in work zones; Use of high-visibility safety apparel for workers in the vicinity of traffic during repairing work; For night work, provision of proper illumination for the work space, while controlling glare so asnot to blind workers and passing motorists;• Implement a training program for operators of WTP who work with chlorine regarding safe handlingpractices and emergency response procedures;• Provide appropriate personal protective equipment (helmet, gloves, gumboots) and training on itsproper use and maintenance;and• Periodically sample air quality in work areas for hazardous chemicals like chlorine gasSocial and Cultural ResourcesAlthough there is a high risk of excavation in the town discovering material of historical or archaeologicalimportance, there will be no need to take precautions to protect such material when areas are excavated torepair leaks in the network, as all work will be conducted in trenches that have already been disturbed whenthe infrastructure was installed.Repair works could cause some temporary disruption of activities at locations of social and culturalimportance such as schools, hospitals, temples, tourist sites etc., so the same precautions as employedduring the construction period should be adopted. ULB needs to require its O and M contractor to:• Complete work near school, hospitals, religious places quickly;• Provide wooden bridges for pedestrians and metal sheets for vehicles to allow access across opentrenches where required; and• avoid working at sensitive times, such as religious and cultural festivals.The citizens of the town will be the major beneficiaries of the improved water supply, as they will be providedwith a constant supply of better quality water, piped into their homes. In addition to improved environmentalconditions, the sub-project will improve the over-all health condition of the town as diseases of poorsanitation (such as diarrhoea and dysentery) will be reduced. Moreover for maintaining the quality of drinking39

However, it is necessary to establish an effective grievance redressal mechanism to addresscomplaints/grievances related to social & environmental issues that may arise. The figure given alongsideindicates the grievance redressal mechanism for this purpose.The affected persons can register their grievances at the complaint cell established at the ULB. TheComplaint Cell would forward the grievance to the S&E officer for redressal. The Complaint Cell will also actas a Public Information Centre, where the grievances of the community will be registered and otherinformation with regard to the project, the sub-projects, social and environmental safeguards will be provided.The grievances can pertain to any social and/or environmental issues triggered by sub-projects under theAPMD <strong>Project</strong>. A ‘District Urban Grievance Redressal Body’ will be established for giving independent adviceto the concerned <strong>Municipal</strong> Commissioner for redressing the grievances. This body will consist of 4 to 5eminent citizens in the District and are from diverse backgrounds such as, education, health and sanitation,urban infrastructure, civic affairs, etc. In an advisory capacity, it will facilitate and suggest suitable action toredress the grievances of the community/people. At the state level a ‘State Urban Grievance RedressalBody’ will be established along similar lines. The Complaint Cell would forward the grievance to the S&Eofficer for redressal. If the S&E officer cannot redress the grievance within a specified time period, thegrievance would be forwarded to the ESMC and further to the District Urban Grievance Redressal Bodyconstituted at the district level. The grievances which cannot be redressed at the district level would bereferred to the State Urban Grievance Redressal Body. Each of these authorities can be approached directlyfor grievance redressal by the aggrieved person/party.Figure 7 shows Grievance Redressal process and Annexure 12 indicates sample Grievance RegistrationForm.41

The Principal Secretary MAUD will be heading theactivities under the project at the State Level.The CDMA, in its capacity as the authority in charge of Urban Local Bodies (ULBs), would provide generalinstitutional and administrative support to all ULBs. A <strong>Municipal</strong> Strengthening Unit (MSU) would be set up atCDMA to assist ULBs to undertake infrastructure sub-projects under APMD <strong>Project</strong>, monitor theirimplementation and provide institutional support, in the form of capacity building and reforms, to ULBs andalso assist them. The MSU will engage an environmental specialist and a social development expert forassessment of social and environmental compliance of sub-projects.The <strong>Andhra</strong> <strong>Pradesh</strong> Urban Infrastructure Fund (APUIF) would be the nodal agency responsible for financingand appraising the sub-projects under APMDP. It will have three project windows – the <strong>Project</strong> <strong>Development</strong>Division (PDD) for appraisal of sub-projects, the Investment Division (ID) for financing the sub-projects andthe Institutional <strong>Development</strong> Division (IDD) for sub-project specific institutional development.At the field level the concerned ULBs would play an important role in implementation of the project. TheULBs would be responsible for implementing and managing the sub-projects. They will form an Environmentand Social Management Committee to carry out the necessary social and environmental functions in thesub-project areas. Institutional arrangements for addressing social and environmental aspects of the projectconstitute the Social and Environment (S&E) officer and the Environment and Social ManagementCommittee (ESMC) of Urban Local Body.The role and the functions of the ESMC would include, but not be limited to, the following:• Ensuring social and environmental compliance in sub-project preparation• Coordinating acquisition of land and undertaking surveys• Overseeing preparation of Social Management Plans (SMPs)/Environmental Management Plans(EMPs) through internal sources and/or external consultants• Social/Environmental Impact Assessments42

The responsibilities for handling social issueswould be coordinated with the Town Planning and the Revenue Wings as they are more acquainted withissues such as land acquisition, measurements, structural assessments, etc. Similarly the S&E Officer willcoordinate with the other Engineering department officials, the Medical and Health Officials andenvironmental consultants on environmental issues such as solid waste management, sanitation, etc. Therole and the functions of the S&E Officer would include, but not be limited to, the following:• Coordinate planning and implementation of social and environmental aspects of sub-projects in theULB.• Assess the Detailed <strong>Project</strong> Reports (DPRs) for social and environmental compliance with safeguardframework.• Monitor the sub-project interventions for social and environmental sustainability• Support and coordinate trainings programmes for the capacity building of the PIA and its partnerslike the NGOs and CBOs as the case may be.• Coordinate with all the agencies for ensuring implementation of social & environmental activities.• Assist consultants to carry out assessment of the project affected people and in the assessment ofvulnerability and entitlement issues and coordination of SMP/EMP implementation at the ULB.• Mobilizing the community and ensuring their participation in addressing emerging social and R&Rissues.• Reporting the progress, highlighting the social and environmental issues not addressed and alsoprovide for course correction in subsequent projects• Develop a system of environmental monitoring and social audit to achieve maximum benefits fromthe sub-project.• Auditing the monitoring indicators collected by the implementing staffThe organizational structure at the ULB is given as Figure 8. Each ULB will consist of the implementationarrangements and the ESMC. <strong>Municipal</strong> Commissioner, <strong>Municipal</strong> Engineer and S&E Officer, supported bysection heads at the ULB, and representatives from NGOs/community will form the primary implementingarrangements at the ULB and the ESMC will be responsible for overlooking social and environmentalactivities implemented under each sub-project in the ULB. For specific environmental issues, the RegionalOfficer of <strong>Andhra</strong> <strong>Pradesh</strong> Pollution Control Board (APPCB) may be consulted.It can be seen that the social and environmental needs of the APMD <strong>Project</strong> would be managed at differentlevels. At the state level, the MAUD, at the middle level the MSU of CDMA would enable ULBs to preparesocially and environmentally sound project proposals and help build required skills through a concertedcapacity building programme. The Urban Environmental Specialist and Social Scientist at the MSU wouldensure that appraised sub-projects are socially and environmentally sound, apart from providing advisoryservices to ULBs. And finally at the bottom level the S&E officer and the ESMC would be vested with powersto monitor and manage S&E issues during sub-project implementation at the ULBs.

Regardless of this, any costs of mitigation by the construction contractors or Consultant areincluded in the budgets for the civil works and do not need to be estimated separately here. Mitigation that isthe responsibility of ULB will be provided as part of their management of the project, so this also does notneed to be duplicated here.The remaining actions in the EMP are the various environmental monitoring activities to be conducted by theEnvironmental Monitoring Specialist. These have not been budgeted elsewhere, and their costs are shown inTable 30 and summary in Table 8.4-1. The figures show that the total cost of environmental managementand monitoring for the subproject as a whole is INR 1.165 million.Table 8.4-1: Environmental Budget for Environmental Management Measures – Midterm LevelSl.No.Items Unit Rate (Rs.)

Potential negative impacts were identified inrelation to both construction and operation of the improved infrastructure. Mitigation measures have beendeveloped in generic way to reduce all negative impacts to acceptable levels. These were discussed withspecialists responsible for the engineering aspects, and as a result some measures have already beenincluded in the outline designs for the infrastructure. This means that the number of impacts and theirsignificance has already been reduced by amending the design.Regardless of these and various other actions taken during the Environmental Assessment process and indeveloping the project, there will still be impacts on the environment when the infrastructure is built and whenit is operating. This is mainly because of the invasive nature of trenching and other excavation; because thedistribution network is located within the town where there are moderately populated areas.During the construction phase, impacts mainly arise from the need to dispose of large quantities of wastesoil, and import a similar amount of sand to support the pipes in the trenches; and from the disturbance ofresidents, businesses, traffic and important buildings by the construction work. These are common impactsof construction in urban areas, and there are well developed methods for their mitigation.One field in which impacts are much less routine is archaeology, and here a series of specific measureshave been developed to avoid damaging important remains.There were limited opportunities to provide environmental enhancements, but certain measures wereincluded. For example it is proposed that the project will employ in the workforce people who live in thevicinity of construction sites to provide them with a short-term economic gain; and ensure that peopleemployed in the longer term to maintain and operate the new facilities are residents of nearby communities.Once the system is operating, most facilities (Intake, WTP) will operate with routine maintenance, whichshould not affect the environment. Leaks in the distribution network will need to be repaired from time totime, but environmental impacts will be much less than those of the construction period as the work will beinfrequent, affecting small areas only. It will also be conducted in areas that have already been excavated.The main impacts of the operating water supply system will be beneficial as the citizens of Badvel will beprovided with a constant supply of water, which will serve a greater proportion of the population, includingslum-dwellers. This will improve the quality of life of people as well as benefiting both individual and publichealth as the improvements in hygiene should reduce the incidence of disease associated with poorsanitation. This should lead to economic gains as people will be away from work less and will spend less onhealthcare, so their incomes should increase.Mitigation will be assured by a program of environmental monitoring conducted during construction andoperation to ensure that all measures are implemented, and to determine whether the environment isprotected as intended. This will include observations on- and off-site, document checks, and interviews with69

There willalso be longer-term surveys to monitor the expected improvements in the quality of domestic water and thehealth of the population.Finally, stakeholders were involved in developing the EA through face-to-face discussions on site and a largepublic meeting held in the town, after which views expressed were incorporated into the EnvironmentalAssessment and the planning and development of the project. The hard copy of EA for the sub-project will bemade available to public at ULB as well as at CDMA-MSU for public reference and will be disclosed to awider audience in the apmdp website www.apmdp.gov.in.10 CONCLUSIONSThe subproject is unlikely to cause significant adverse impacts. The potential adverse impacts that areassociated with design, construction, and operation can be mitigated to standard levels without difficultythrough proper engineering design and the incorporation or application of recommended mitigationmeasures and procedures.70

Accordingly comprehensiveplanning of water supply service improvement is being considered for Badvel <strong>Municipal</strong>ity in Kadapa/YSRdistrict. Within this overall objective the main objectives are:• Assessing the status of existing water supply in the above ULBs• Develop an action plan to improve the system performance immediately, also in short, medium andlong term basis.• Preparation of a DPR• Preparation of Capacity Enhancement Action Plan (CEAP)• Assessment of Leakage in the systemAfter assessing the present situation and projected requirement, upto feasibility stage following physicalworking components are emerges under the said sub-project ,• Source of water and Intake structure: FromSri Pothuluri Veera Brahmendra Swami Balancing Reservoir(SPVBR) has been selected as the source of water. Intake will be constructed on SPVBR• WTP: It is proposed to construct a Water Treatment Plant of 9 MLD (two modules of 6 MLD) for Midtermperiod (2026) and 18 MLD WTP by constructing additional one module of 9 MLD for meeting the ultimatedemand (2040). The WTP will be located on the hillock adjacent to the SPVBR.• Rising Main:The rising main from the WTP will pass along the hill slope to meet the existing road at a point ofabout 4 Km from B. Mattam village. It will then follow the same road and come to its junction with theMydukuru Road. From there it will follow the Highway and supply water to different ELSRs.• Distribution System: Replacement of distribution pipeline is planned to meet the requirement for the year2040. Approximate length of distribution network is 125 km.• ELSR:Seven new ELSRs will be constructed. The land either belongs to the <strong>Municipal</strong>ity or to Government andno acquisition is necessary.93
