C. – Environment1 INTRODUCTION1.1 Backgrounda. The Government of Andhra Pradesh (GoAP) has received a loan from World Bank to improve theservices and support improvements in the financial, technical and management capacities of ULBsto sustain the infrastructures being created to ensure the desired level of water supply.b. One of the major activities of the Urban Local Bodies (ULB) is to provide safe water supply to theinhabitants. However, lack of adequate fund for investment and maintenance infrastructure includingstaff, the desired level of water supply has reduced the effectiveness of water supply services.Inadequate water supply has been identified as an essential issue. The Government of AndhraPradesh (GoAP) has recognized the problems faced by the ULBs and has received a loan from theWorld Bank to improve the services and support improvements in the financial, technical andmanagement capacities of ULBs to sustain the infrastructures being created.1.2 Scope of Environmental Screening study at Feasibility Stagea. During the feasibility stage, study cover the following:• Review national, state and local environmental regulatory requirements on environmental aspects,including necessary clearance from State and Central Government in the context of proposed projectcomponents.• Establishing environmental baseline covering the specific location of water supply componentsincluding the designated project sites – such as supply source, site for locating water off-take, rightof way of transmission mains and water treatment plants, storage reservoirs and pumping stations,sites for elevated service reservoirs, distribution network and existing facilities for waste waterdisposal.• Carry out environmental screening in the light of baseline condition and proposed project activities toidentify key environmental issues and defining the scope of detailed environmental assessment to becarried out as part of Detailed Project Reports (DPRs). During screening, consideration shall be paidto (i) location of the sub-project with respect to environmentally sensitive areas and communityconcerns and (ii) volume, nature and technology of construction. The screening process shall includestakeholder consultations.• Conduct environmental analysis of alternatives for different project components and provide specificinputs of technical analysis of alternatives – the objective of such analysis shall be to minimiseenvironmental impacts and provide specific inputs to feasibility analysis. Analysis of alternatives shallidentify opportunities for environmental enhancements, where ever feasible.1.3 Project Locationa. The location of project site is Ananthpur Municipality. Ananthapur is the largest district of AndhraPradesh and the second largest district in India. Ananthapur town is the Head Quarters of thedistrict. Its geographical co-ordinates are 15 0 41’ 0” North latitude and 77 0 37’ 0” East longitudes. It isspread over an area of 47.50 Sq. Km. having a population of 243143 as per 2001 Census and islocated at a distance of 354 Km from the state capital Hyderabad. It is said that Ananthapur derivedits name from "Ananthasagaram“ (meaning endless ocean) a huge tank in the vicinity. "HandeAnanthapuram“ is the other name of the place. The village of Ananthasagaram andBukkarayasamudram were constructed by Chikkavodeya, the minister of Bukka – I, a Vijayanagarruler. Some authorities assert that the Ananthasagaram was named after Bukka’s queen, whilesome contend that it is known after Anantharasa Chikkavodeya himself as Bukka had no queen bythat name.1

C. – Environmentd. Any component included in APMDP shall comply with the above Government of India and StateGovernment environmental laws, standards, rules and requirements. Key standards include thoserelated to drinking water quality, air quality, effluent discharge, leachate quality, and protected areas.Compliance is required in all stages of the project including design, construction, and operation andmaintenance.Environmental Assessment Requirementsa. The new EIA Notification of 2006 of GoI, which replaces the EIA Notification of 1994, requiresenvironmental clearance for certain defined activities/projects. This Notification classifies theprojects/activities that require environmental clearance (EC) into ‘A’ and ‘B’ categories depending onthe impact potential and/or scale of project. For both category projects, prior environmentalclearance is mandatory before any construction work, or preparation of land except for securing theland, is started on such project or activity. Clearance provisions are as follows:i. Category ‘A’ projects require prior environmental clearance from the MoEF, Government ofIndia 1 ;ii.iii.Category ‘B’ projects require prior environmental clearance from the State EnvironmentImpact Assessment Authority (SEIAA) 2 ; andThis Notification provides that, any project or activity specified in Category ‘B’ will be treatedas Category A, if located in whole or in part within 10 km from the boundary of protectedareas, notified areas and inter-state and international boundaries 3 . Also, in the case where aSEIAA does not exist, Category B project will be reviewed by the MoEF and reclassified asCategory A.b. Consequently, the only APMDP subproject listed in the EIA Notification of 2006 Schedule of ProjectsRequiring Prior Environmental Clearance is solid waste facilities, otherwise referred to as CommonMunicipal Solid Waste Facilities (CMSWF). Common Municipal Solid Waste Management Facilitiesqualify as Category B projects and are thus reviewed by the respective SEIAA. For solid wastefacilities, the Government of India further ensures environmental safeguards through its MunicipalSolid Waste Management and Handling Rules (SWMHR), 2000 as published under MoEF.c. At the State Government level, sewage, and solid waste sub-projects require approval by the StatePollution Control Board (SPCB). The following approvals from SPCB are required: No ObjectionCertificates (NOC), Consent for Establishment (CFE) and Consent for Operation (CFO).2.1.2 Forest Clearancesa. Forest legislation in India dates back to enactment of the Indian Forest Act, 1927. This Actempowers the State Government to declare “any forest land or waste-land, which is the property ofGovernment or over which the Government has proprietary rights or to the whole or any part of theforest-product of which the Government is entitled”, a reserved forest or protected forest. The StateGovernment may assign to any village-community the rights of Government over a reserved forest -1 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.2 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.3 (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.4

C. – Environmentthose are called village-forests. Act also allows Government control over forest and lands not beingthe property of Government.b. Acts like clearing or break up of any land for cultivation or for any other purpose, damage tovegetation/trees and quarrying or removing any forest produce from reserved forest is prohibited. Allthese are also applicable to village-forests. For protected forests, with the provision of the Act, theState Government makes rules to regulate activities like: cutting of trees and removal of forestproduce; clearing or breaking up of land for cultivation or any other purpose; and for protection andmanagement of any portion of protected forest.c. Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980 (amended in 1988) enacted by Government of India, restricts thede-reservation of forests for use of non-forest purposes. According to the Act, State Governmentrequires prior approval of GoI for the use of forest land for non-forest purposes (means the breakingup or clearing of any forest land) or for assigning least to any private person or agency not controlledby Government. The Forest (Conservation) Rules, 2003 issued under this Act, provide specificprocedures to be followed for conversion of forest land for non-forest purposes.d. Limited sub-projects may require acquisition of forest land 4 . Linear subprojects like water supplyrising mains/trunks mains may traverse forest lands. The forest land conversion will follow the“Guidelines for Diversion of Forest Lands for Non-Forest Purpose” under Forest (Conservation) Act,1980. Compensatory afforestation is one of the most important conditions stipulated for diversion offorest land. The following proposals for conversion will be forwarded by the State Government to theMoEF, GoI:oooooooForest land involving up to 5 ha will cleared by the Regional Office of the MoEF.Forest land involving more than 5 ha and up to 20 ha sent will be cleared by the Regional Officeafter referring the case to MoEF.Conversion of forest land (i) having density above 0.4 irrespective of the area involved, and, (ii)of more than 20 ha in the plains and 10 ha in the hilly region, irrespective of density, will becleared by MoEF.Compensatory afforestation is compulsory for conversion:Afforestation will be done over an equivalent area of non-forest land.As far as possible, the non-forest land for compensatory afforestation should be identifiedcontiguous to or in the proximity of Reserved Forest or Protected Forest. If non-forest lands arenot available in the same district other non-forest land may be identified elsewhere in the state.Where non-forest lands are not available, compensatory afforestation may be carried out overdegraded forest twice in extent to the area being diverted.e. Conversion of forest lands that are part of National Parks/Sanctuaries and Tiger Reserve areas(notified under Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972) is not permitted. In exceptional case, the StateGovernment requires consent of the National Board of Wildlife for obtaining approval of the StateLegislature for de-notification of the area as a sanctuary.f. Cutting of trees in non-forest land, irrespective of land ownership, also requires permission from theState Forest Department. Afforestation to the extent of two trees per each tree felled is mandatory.4 The term 'Forest land' refers to land owned by the Forest Department; it may or may not include reserved forest,protected forest or any area recorded as forest in the Government records.5

In such areas the project implementingagency will ensure the following clearances before initiating the works.• Clearance from Roads and Buildings Department for cutting roads.• Permission for breaking or shifting of public utilities like sewer lines or water pipe lines fromWater Supply and Sewerage Boards.• Permission and clearance from electricity board for shifting/ moving of street lights andtransformers during widening of roads or construction of fly over or pedestrian ways or any otherlikely sub-projects.2.2 Categorization of Project as per Loan Agencya. Based on the severity of the impacts due to the sub-projects on the people, the sub-projects can bedivided into three main categories.oooCategory – 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 orunprecedented. These impacts may affect an area broader than the sites or facilities subject tophysical works.For a Category EA sub-project, a detailed environmental assessment along with anenvironmental management plan is necessary. This should examine the projects potentialnegative and positive environmental impacts, compare them with those of feasible alternatives(including the “without project” situation), and recommend any measures needed to prevent,minimize, mitigate or compensate for adverse impacts. 5Category –EB Sub-projects: A proposed sub-project would be classified as category – EB if itis likely to have potential adverse environmental impacts on human populations but suchimpacts are less adverse than those that fall under the Category – EA. These impacts are sitespecific; few if any of them are irreversible; and in most cases mitigation measures can bedesigned more readily than for a category – 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 inCategory – EA, the potential negative and positive environmental impacts for the projects underCategory – EB will have to be identified and measures needed to prevent, minimize, mitigate orcompensate for adverse impacts should be examined.Category – EC Sub-projects: A proposed sub-project is classified as category – EC if it islikely to have minimal or no adverse social and/or environmental impacts. Beyond screening nofurther action is required for a Category – EC project.b. A detailed list of potential sub-projects categorized into A, B, or C categories are provided in Table2.2-1.5 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.10

They are (1) Northern Mandal of Rayadurg, Kanekal, Beluguppa Gooty,Guntakal, Vajrakarur, Uravakonda, Vidapanakal, Yadiki, Tadipatri, Putlur and Yellanur containinglarger areas of Black Cotton soils (2) Kalyandurg, Kambadur, Settur, Brahmasamudram, Ramagiri,Kanaganapalli, C.K.Palli, Dharmavaram, Bathalapalli, Tadimarri, Mudigubba, Ananthapur, Kudair,Pamidi and Peddavadugur in the center which are mainly made up of arid Treeless, expense ofpoor Red Soils, (3) High Level Land of Penukonda, Roddam, Somandepalli, Hindupur, Lepakshi,Chilamathur, Madakasira, Rolla, Gudibanda and Agali which connects with Mysore plateau at higherelevation of the rest of the District. This part has average sandy red soils of normal productivity.b. The town is almost centrally located in the district. The Tungabhadra Dam High Level Canal (HLC) ispassing through the town. The soil is mainly gravelly type under lain by rock strata. The ground levelvaries from 335 to 355 m above MSL.c. Topographical contour map of the project area is shown in Annexure 1.3.1.2 Geology and soila. The geological formations in Ananthapur district can be broadly classified into two distinct groupsnamely the older Archaean and the younger sedimentary rock groups. Of these two groupsAnanthapur Municipal Corporation area falls broadly within the Archaean type of rock formations.These rocks include both sedimentary as well as igneous rocks, which were later metamorphosed byvarious igneous intrusions. Archaeans are now represented by a variety of rock formations, forexample chlorite schists, biotic schists, hornblende granites, banded magnetite quartzites etc.Numerous basic dykes who occur as elongated narrow intrusive bodies traverse the Archaeans,including the Dharwar rock formations and granites. These dykes (dolerite rocks) are dark green toblack in colour and are very hard and compact.b. The soils in Ananthapur District are predominantly red except Kanekal, Bommanahal, Vidapanakal,Uravakonda, Vajrakarur, Guntakal, Gooty, Pamidi, Peddavadugur, Yadiki, Tadipatri, Yellanur,Peddapappur and Putlur mandals. In these Mandals red and black soils occur almost in equalproportion. Thus 76% red soils, 24% are black soils. The soil type found in Ananthapur municipalityarea is mainly hard gravelly underlined by rocky strata. Soils are poor in organic carbon content andabout 88% soils analyzed in the district are low in Nitrogen, about 75% soils are medium to high inPhosphorus content and 94% soils are medium to high in Potassium content. About 60% soils arebelow critical level i.e. deficient as far as Zinc is concerned and 36% soils are deficient in Ironcontent.c. Table 3.1.2-1 indicates soil condition in and around the project location. Soil bearing capacity issufficient for construction of heavy structure.12

According to GSHAP data, the state of Andhra Pradesh falls in a region with low to moderateseismic hazard. As per the 2002 Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) map, this state also falls inZones II & III. Historically, parts of this state have experienced seismic activity in the M5.0-6.0range. Approximate locations of selected towns and basic political state boundaries are displayedin Figure 2. Ananthapur is located in low hazard zone.Figure 3.1.3: Hazard Zonation map of Andhra Pradesh3.1.4 Meteorologya. The District of Ananthapur has a fairly good elevation which provides the District with tolerableclimate throughout the year. It has a gradual fall from the South North towards the valley of thePennar in Peddavadugur, Peddapappur and Tadipatri Mandals. There is a gradual rise in Hindupur,Parigi, Lepakshi, Chilamathur, Agali, Rolla and Madakasira Mandals in the South to join theKarnataka Plateau where the average elevation is about 2000 feet is above the mean sea level. It isabout 1100 feet at Ananthapur and the lowest 900 feet is at Tadipatri. The Geographical position ofthe Peninsula render it, the driest part of the State and hence, Agriculture conditions are more oftenprecarious. Monsoons also evade this part due to its unfortunate location. Being far from the Eastcoast, it does not enjoy the full benefits of North East Monsoons and being cut off by the highwestern Ghats, the South West Monsoon are also prevented from penetrating and punching thethirst of these parched soils. It is therefore seen; the district is deprived of both the monsoons and13

Comprehensive Planning of Water Supply Service improvements In the following ULBs(1) Ananthapur Municipal Corporation, (2) Chittoor Municipality and (3) Badvel MunicipalityDPR Final – Ananthapur M. C. – Environmentsubjected to droughts due to bad seasons. The normal rainfall of the district is 553.0 mm, by which itsecures least rainfall when compared to Rayalaseema and other parts of Andhra Pradesh. Thenormal rainfall for the South West Monsoon period is 338.0 mm, which forms about 61.2% of thetotal rainfall for the year. The failure of the rains in this South West monsoon period of June toSeptember will lead the District to drought by failure of crops. The rainfall for North East monsoonperiod is 156.0 mm only, which forms 28.3% mm of the total rainfall for the year (Octoberto December). The other months are almost dry; March, April and May are warm months when thenormal daily maximum temperature ranges between 29.1 0 C to 40.3 0 C. November, December andJanuary are cooler months when the temperature falls about 15.7 0 C, Hindupur, Parigi,Lepakshi, Chilamathur, Agali, Rolla and Madakasira Mandals being at High Elevation are morecooler than the rest of the Mandals in the District.b. The weather of the town is generally hot and partially humid which is common in any tropical area.The summer usually extends from March to June, The rainy season is from July to October andwinter season is from November to February. The temperature of the town varies from 20 0 C to50 0 C. The average annual rainfall in the town area is around 500 mm. Ananthapur region wasidentified as 2 nd lowest rainfall area after Jaisalmir in Rajasthan. Ananthapur region is surrounded bymountains and hence NE and SW monsoons cannot provide proper rainfall. Thus, it is a chronicallydraught prone area in Andhra Pradesh State.3.1.5 Surface water Status and Qualitya. Source of Water: It has already been mentioned that Ananthapur is a draught prone area having anaverage annual rainfall of about 500 mm. Here loss of water due to evaporation and percolationthrough pores is also very high. Hence, availability of water is a real problem in Ananthapur.b. Surface water: The rivers viz. the Pandameru and the Tadakleru, two local streams passing throughthe northern and southern side of the town, practically do not have any surface flow except duringthe rainy season. The Tungabhadra Dam High Level South Canal popularly known as HLC, which ispassing through the town, is the main source of surface water for Ananthapur. The canal supplieswater for a period of about 5 months (August to December) in a year on regular basis. There is aSummer Storage Tank of designed capacity 1320 ML to supply water during canal closure period.However, the effective capacity of SS Tank has been reduced to 895 ML and is not sufficient to meetthe demand of water for the entire canal closure period. Hence, water is released periodically to HLCto meet the shortage of drinking water in the town. There is no other surface water source nearAnanthapur which may be as sustainable source of water for the town. The only dependable andreliable surface water source in this region is PABR. There is an allocation of Five (5) TMC of waterto this reservoir from Tungabhadra Dam. Out of this Five (5) TMC of water I&CAD Department ofAndhra Pradesh has allocated one (1) TMC of water for the Ananthapur Municipal Corporation.Hence, the source is sustainable and dependable to meet the present water demand of AnanthapurMunicipal Corporation area. The PABR dam reservoir is located on the river Penna (Latitude 44º 47”and Longitude 77º 18”). It is fed from the perennial river Tungabhadra.c. Surface water Quality. Surface water quality is being tested for PABR water, proposed watersupply source. The results are shown in Table 3.1.5-1. Annexure 2 shows all 23 parameters oftested water along with specified standard and testing methodology. Results show that in all thecases concentrations of measured parameters are well below the permissible limit. Coliform and Ecoli are reported in reservoir. pH is slightly alkaline. Both BOD and COD are below the detectionlimit, which indicates that there is not much oxidizable organic and inorganic components in water.Total Dissolved Solid is also less which is due to low content of dissolved salts of Calcium andMagnesium.14

As per report of the Ground water Estimation Committee (GEC) received from the Deputy Director,Ground Water Department, Ananthapur, it is observed that the ground water in AnanthapurMunicipal area is in an acute state of over exploitation, i.e. the withdrawal is much greater than therecharge. The data is furnished in Table 3.1.6-2.15

The stage of development of ground water with the respective categories is indicated in Table3.1.6-3.Table 3.1.6-3: Percentage stage of development of ground water versus categoryPercentage stage of development ofCategoryground water Category100% Over Exploitedd. Thus, it is not recommended to use ground water as a potential source of water supply forAnanthapur Municipal Corporation Area. The ground water in turn should be preserved i.e., it shouldbe allowed to be recharged, so that it can be used during an emergency.e. Ground water from Borewell and tap (supply) water, Canal water of Ananthapur town is testedrecently for determination of quality of drinking water. The results are shown in 3.1.6-4 below.Annexure 2 show all 24 parameters of tested water along with specified standard and methodology.Results indicate that bore well water and supply water is more or less suitable for consumption aftertreatment. Water samples have medium dissolved solids, and total alkalinity and hardness, in fewcases those are above the desirable limit but within permissible limit (Ref. Annexure 2). Fluoride isdetected in all the samples and just below the permissible limit. High COD value indicates chemicalcontamination of ground water and canal water and presence of oxidizable chemical compound.16

The Ananthapur District is not rich in the Forest Wealth. The name' Forest' in Ananthapur Districtdoes not indicate any dense tree population with thick foliage of variform of pastures. The Forests inthe District are thin and scanty. The Muchukota Hills about 35 km in length, run from North of GootyTown upto extreme Southern Corner of Tadipatri and Yadiki Mandals. Another line of Hills startsfrom West of Gooty Mandal and run 80 km called by name Nagasamudram Hills. TheMallappakonda Range begins at Dharmavaram and runs into Karnataka State. The PenukondaRange which starts in the South of Dharmavaram through Penukonda and Hindupur proceeds toKarnataka State. In Madakasira, the hills divide Rolla and Agali Mandals into Southern andNorthern portions. There are numerous isolated Peaks and Rocky Clusters which are devoid of anyforest vegetation.19

Pandameru HWW: The river Pandameru is flowing on the southern side of Ananthapur town, whichfinally joins in Ananthapur Tank located in front of the Collectorate. The river is non perennial andthere is no surface flow in the river except during the rainy season. The water supply to the town wasfirst introduced in 1924 with infiltration well in the bed of the river Pandameru near the EngineeringCollege. There are three wells each of about 3 m (10 feet) diameter. The water from the infiltrationwells is pumped into a collection well from where it is again pumped to the GLSR of capacity 260 KLlocated at Kalaramam near the Engineering College for distribution through a network of pipe line.Designed capacity is 0.45 MLD. Since it is a non perennial source, the yield diminishes duringsummer and hence unreliable.23

Comprehensive Planning of Water Supply Service improvements In the following ULBs(1) Ananthapur Municipal Corporation, (2) Chittoor Municipality and (3) Badvel MunicipalityDPR Final – Ananthapur M. C. – Environmentc. Tadakleru HWW: As the town grew, the demand of water increased and water supply wasaugmented by constructing another infiltration gallery in the river Tadakleru. The water is collected ina 3 m (10 feet) dia. collection well and then pumped to the 450 KL capacity ELSR located atGeorgepeta. About 2.04 MLD of water is available from this source. Water is transmitted through a200 mm dia. CI Rising main. The river Tadakleru is flowing on northern side of Ananthapur town.This river is also non perennial and there is no surface flow in the river except during the rainyseason.d. Rachakalva HWW: Another source of water for Ananthapur town is ground water. There is aninfiltration well and two bore wells located by the side of MPR South Canal near 42 km chainage atRachakalva. The infiltration well acts as a collection well. Water from the two bore wells is pumped tothe collection well from where it is pumped to the 910 KL ELSR located at Gandhi Park with the helpof a 250 mm dia. AC Class 10 Rising Main. About 1.63 MLD of water is available from this source.The bore wells become dry when there is no water in the MPR HLC canal. Very low rainfall receivedby this area has resulted in the depletion of the ground water source and a steady fall of the groundwater level. Yield of the bore wells at Rachakalva HWW have reduced substantially over the years.e. R. G. Filter HWW at SS Tank: All the three sources viz, Pandameru, Tadakleru and Rachakalva areunreliable. So in 1981 a water supply scheme with the surface water of HLC canal was constructed.The off take is located at chainage 41.55 km. Regular supply of water from the canal is for a periodof five months (August to December). To meet the requirement of water during the canal closerperiod, there is a Summer Storage Tank popularly known as Ananthapur summer storage tank witha total designed capacity of 1320 ML. The MWL of the HLC is + 336.18 m and the MWL of theSumer Storage (SS) tank is + 338.33 m. Hence, water from the canal cannot be taken by gravity tothe SS tank, therefore pumping is required. Water collects in a Clear Water Reservoir (CWR) ofcapacity 6.5 lakh liters. Total yield of SS Filter is 4.5 MLD of which 50% i.e., 2.23 MLD is available tothe Municipal Corporation. Clear water from the Satya Sai HWW is used to feed the ELSRs atRMHS (500 KL capacity), SBI Colony (1000 KL capacity), Laxminagar (500 KL capacity) and GLSRat Srinagar Colony (500 KL capacity).f. Slow Sand Filter at Satya Sai HWW: In the year, 1999 the Satya Sai Water Supply scheme wastaken up with the financial assistance of Bhagawan Satya Sai Baba Trust based on MPR SouthCanal as the source. Two Summer Storage tanks were constructed viz. one utilizing the AnanthapurIrrigation tank near Bukkayaraya Samudram and another near the Collectorate. The former is usedentirely for supplying water to the rural areas and the latter is used for supplying water to theAnanthapur town along with the S.K. University. Water from the MPR Canal is drawn to an inlet wellby gravity from where it is pumped to the SS tank, which has a storage capacity of 1160.2 ML. Waterfrom the SS tank is pumped to the Slow Sand Filters. There are 6 beds of size 24 m x 12 m of which4 are working and 2 are standby. The rate of filtration is 100 liters per sq. m per hour. The filtratecollects in a Clear Water Reservoir (CWR) of capacity 6.5 lakh liters. Total yield of SS Filter is 4.5MLD of which 50% i.e. 2.23 MLD is available to the Municipal Corporation. Clear water from theSatya Sai HWW is used to feed the ELSRs at RMHS (500 KL capacity), SBI Colony (1000 KLcapacity), Laxminagar (500 KL capacity) and GLSR at Srinagar Colony (500 KL capacity).g. PABR Scheme: The supply of water from the infiltration wells of Pandameru and Tadakleru andground wells of Rachakalva and other bore wells is irregular and unreliable. The water of RG Filtersand SS Filters is not sufficient during the canal closure period. To overcome the problem a newscheme with water of Penna Aohobilam Balancing Reservoir (PABR) as the source was sanctionedunder UIDSSMT. The scheme is under final stage of implementation by the PHED. Construction ofthe intake, treatment plant and transmission mains connecting the WTP and ELSRs are almostcomplete. The construction of 15 ELSRs is also complete. The scheme has been partiallycommissioned and the water is being fed to all existing reservoirs to overcome the acute shortage of24

C. – Environmentwater supply in the town particularly during the summer season. The raw water from the intake istaken to the treatment plant located at the highest point at a distance of about 9 km in between JalliPalli and Muddalapuram. The WTP is of 61 MLD capacity. There is no provision of improvement ofdistribution system in the PABR project sanctioned under UIDSSMT.h. Sewerage System: Ananthapur town has no underground sewerage facility. Each individualhousehold has septic tank and the effluent is either taken to a soak pit or discharged into the surfacedrain. The slum dwellers generally use Two-Pit Pour Flush Latrines. However, stray cases of opendefecation in slum areas are there. The Consultant feels the program of providing latrine to eachhousehold should be given top most priority and the Municipality may take appropriate steps inpromoting latrine program through IEC activities and introduction of incentives.i. Details of existing water supply and sewerage generation is summarized below.25

Capacity ofsurface drain is sufficient to carry the increased sewage flow.j. Drainage System: The Drainage of the town is implemented by surface drains which ultimatelydischarge to nearby low lying areas. The main drain passes through the middle of the town.According to the information given by the Municipality there are about 191.55 km long Pucca SurfaceDrain and 92.72 km long Kutcha Surface Drain. In addition, there is a storm water drain of 7.80 km,cleaning of storm water drains is ensured by engaging contract labour.k. Solid Waste Management: According to an estimate done by the Municipal Corporation (MC) on anaverage about 105 MT of solid waste is generated in the town in each day which is disposed off bythe MC by simple dumping to fill up low lying areas. The garbage from the streets and the marketplaces are collected with the help of 37 cycle vans and transported to vats located at differentplaces. From the vats, the garbage is collected with the help of 9 tractor trailers and transported tothe low lying dumping ground located outside the municipal limit. The door-to-door collection ofgarbage is done in 25% area of the Municipal Corporation with the help of cycle vans. Eighty percent(80%) of garbage disposal works are done with the help of contract labours.l. Transportation: Ananthapur town is well connected to most major cities in India by the NationalHighways 7 and 205. Ananthapur also has direct train connection to Hyderabad, Bangalore,Mumbai, New Delhi, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Bhubaneswar, Pune, Vishakapatnam, etc. Puttaparthi26

The 1991 census has indicated the area of the Municipality as 16.3 sq. km. However, in 2001census the adjoining Narayanpura (9.87 sq. km) and Ananthapur (R) (21.28 sq. km) having totalarea of 31.15 sq. km have been included within Ananthapur and the total area of Ananthapur hasbeen indicated as 47.50 sq. km. Thus, the two villages viz. Narayanpura and Ananthapur Rural havealready been included within the core area of the Corporation. The Consultant has, therefore,considered a part of the above five villages as areas likely to be added to the Corporation In view ofhaving good number of educational institutes as well as Ananthapur being a silk trading center, alarge number of people visits Ananthapur on a regular basis. The Municipality had estimated thefloating populations of the town as 30,000 in 2006 vide the report of Town InfrastructureDevelopment Plan. The Municipal Corporation has suggested considering the following adjoiningvillages for the preparation of DPR as these villages are likely to be incorporated within theCorporation area in near future.• Papampeta (R)• Uparapalle• Kakkalapalle (R)• Bukkarayasamudram• Prasannapalle• Narayanpura• Ananthapur Ruralb. The population of core area of Ananthapur Municipal Corporation is available from census recordsfrom the year 1901. Table 3.2.1-1 reflects the census population of Ananthapur.27

As per 2001 census, the total population of the town is 243143 of which 50.32% are male and49.68% are females. About 69.30% are literate. The total SC and ST population are 15098 and 5447respectively. Total number of households is 39,353.3.2.2 Health and Educational Facilitiesa. Ananthapur has newly been elevated to the status of Municipal Corporation. The area is developingquickly. It is one of the most important education centers in the State. A large number of Colleges andUniversities are located in Ananthapur such as Sri Krishnadevaraya University, JNTU College ofEngineering, Oil Technological Research Institute, Government Medical College, Sri Satya Sai BabaJunior and Degree College for Women, Government Art and Science Degree College etc. There area number of hospitals and other educational institutions etc., within the Municipality as well as in theadded area. There are 3 markets and 6 burial grounds in Ananthapur.3.2.3 History, Culture, and Tourisma. Ananthapur is familiarly known as "Hande Anantapuram" was named after the Hande family whoruled Ananthapur and Bukkarayapatnam. The Hande family belonged to the BalijaNaidu Community. Ananthapur and a few other places were gifted by the Vijayanagar rulers tofamous warrior Hande Hanumappa Naidu of the Hande family. The place subsequently came underthe Qutub Shahs, Saiyads Mughals, and the Nawabs of Cuddapah, although the Hande chiefscontinued to rule as their sub-ordinates. It was occupied by the Palergar of Bellary during the time ofHunde Ramappa Naidu but was eventually won back by his son, Siddappa. Morari Rao Ghorpadeattacked Anantapur in 1757. Though the army resisted for some time, Siddappa ultimately bought offthe enemy for Rs.50,000. It then came into the possession of Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan. Tipuhanged all the male members of the Siddappa Naidu of Hunde family except Siddappa Naidu who28

C. – Environmentescaped from his confinement at Srirangapatnam. After Tipu's death, it was once again taken backby Siddappa Naidu. Siddappa Naidu submitted himself to Nizam because of the treaty of 1799, whotook the total control of the area. He was later pensioned off when British occupied the territory.b. There is some tourism destination in and around Annathapur. Those are mostly cultural and religioussites. Few famous location are as follows,• Ananthapur Clock Tower is in the heart of the city which brings back the memories of theIndependence days during which it has been built.• Lepakshi Temple (is renowned as the repository of the best mural paintings of the VijayanagarKings. Lepakshi consists of three shrines dedicated to Shiva, Vishnu and 'Virabhadra').• Puttaparthi, Prasanthi Nilayam (Home of Sri Satya Sai and to many facilities such as super specialityhospital, educational institutions, founded by Sri Satya Sai)• Thimmamarri manu (A large Banyan tree spread over five acres of land near Kadiri.

C. – Environment4 PROPOSED SUB-PROJECT COMPONENTS AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCREENING4.1 Adequacy and Deficiency of the present water supply Systema. After visiting the sites and detail investigation and analysis the status of water supply and deficiencyof the system are discussed below.• Source: Penna Ahobilam Balancing Reservoir of I&CAD Department constructed over the riverPenna. This source is being used at present in the scheme under execution by the PHED sanctionedunder UIDSSMT under JNNURM programme. There are no sources of pollution either at upstreamor downstream of PABR.The raw water demand for 2026 is 64.66 MLD (0.83 TMC) and the same for 2040 is 89.84 MLD (1.16TMC) for the Core Municipal area. One (1) TMC of water has been allocated by the I&CADDepartment for water supply to Ananthapur town. Hence, present allocation is sufficient to meet thewater demand of core area upto 2026.• Intake: There is a 12 m diameter intake Well of 150 MLD capacity in PABR reservoir for the PHEDscheme under execution. The well is sufficient to meet the water requirement core area for 2026 and2040.• WTP: The capacity of existing water treatment plant (WTP) for the PHED scheme under execution is61 MLD. It has already been mentioned that the development works for mid term level will berestricted to the core municipal areas only. Hence the Consultant will restrict discussion related tocore area only. Water demand for core municipal area for 2026 and 2040 are 58.78 MLD and 81.67MLD respectively. There will be no shortfall of water at mid-term level for core municipal area.However, there will be a shortfall 52.03 MLD at longterm level. It is therefore, proposed to construct anew WTP of 52 MLD to meet requirements of 2040.There is a system of collection and disposal of sludge in the existing WTP at Muddalapuramconstructed under PABR scheme of Ananthapur. The sludge is collected periodically and utilized infilling up of nearby low lying areas.• Rising Main: The existing Rising main under PABR Scheme is sufficient to meet the requirement forthe core area as well as the added area up to 2026. Additional main will be proposed to meet thedemand for 2040. This main will be laid on the other side of the road flank where sufficientencroachment free land is available. A new Rising Main is proposed to be laid to connect the newdistribution reservoirs (ELSRs).• Distribution System: At present the entire town is divided into 5 (five) zones and are further subdivided into 11 (eleven) sub zones for distribution of water. About 42% of the households are coveredby House service connections, 43% are receiving water through street stand posts and the rest of theresidents are receiving water from hand pump fitted bore wells or from the tankers. These are underexecution by the PHED to meet the prospective demand (2021’s demand). However, due to fundcrunch there is no provision of remodeling of the existing distribution system in the PABR scheme.Hence new distribution system is required.• ELSR (Elevated Level Storage Reservoir)/ GLSR (Ground Level Storage Reservoir): At presentwater from different sources is transmitted to 9 ELSRs and 1 GLSR by pumping mains from wherethe water gravitates to the consumer end. There is a provision of construction of additional newELSRs in the PABR scheme. As per the projected population upto 2040 additional reservoirs will berequired.31

C. – Environment4.5 Construction process and environmental screeninga. Distribution mains will be laid mainly along the road flanks of ROW. In some areas there is no road flankand the road is stretched upto the building line. In such cases the trench will be dug along the edge of theroad avoiding the surface drains. Care will be taken to see that neither the utility services nor the drains/building are affected.b. Trenches will be dug using a backhoe digger, supplemented by manual digging where necessary.Excavated soil will be placed alongside, and the pipes (brought to site on trucks and stored on unusedland nearby) will be placed in the trench by hand or using a small rig for the larger Ductile Iron (DI) pipes.Pipes will be joined by hand, after which sand from local quarries will be shovelled into the trenchbeneath and around the pipe for support and protection. Soil will then be replaced manually on top of thepipe and compacted by a vibrating compressor. Where trenches are dug into an existing roadway, thebitumen or concrete surface will be broken by hand-held pneumatic drills, after which the trench will beexcavated by backhoe and the appropriate surface will be reapplied on completion.c. 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).d. New pipes and connections to the distribution main will be provided to house connections, and these willrun to individual dwellings in small hand-dug trenches or on the surface. New consumer meters will belocated outside houses, attached to a wall or set onto the ground.e. ELSRs will be built on Government land/ Municipal land at various locations in the town. The cavity forthe ground reservoirs and foundations for the storage reservoirs will be excavated by backhoe, with soilbeing loaded 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 ofthe ground reservoir and the vertical supporting pillars of the overhead reservoir. Sections of reinforcingwill then be encased in wooden shuttering and concrete will be poured in, and this process will berepeated to gradually create each structure from reinforce cement concrete (RCC), including the tank ofthe overhead reservoir and the above-ground portion of the ground reservoir. Surfaces will be smoothedand finished where necessary by hand.f. Construction of different components and short preferable mitigation are mentioned in Table below.42

4.6 Analysis of AlternativeComprehensive Planning of Water Supply Service improvements In the following ULBs(1) Ananthapur Municipal Corporation, (2) Chittoor Municipality and (3) Badvel MunicipalityDPR Final – Ananthapur M. C. – Environmenta. In the preceding paragraph/section a detailed discussion was done on existing environment scenario inthe Project Impacted Areas of Ananthapur. 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.b. Environmental Alternatives: Since the scope of the project covers laying of rising mains, constructionof water storage reservoirs, laying of pipes for distribution, the impact is low. Practically in all the isolatedproject location Government land is considered, therefore displacement of any community not arises orno alternative sites need to be selected. Laying of pipeline will be done within Right of Way (ROW) andwhich results no encroachment of agricultural land and eviction of squatters. Site feasibility of all workingcomponents assessed and checklist of impact shown in Table above. In the screening exercise, areas ofconcern- congested market place on the sides of the road, existence of sensitive area, extent of physicaldisplacement if any, etc. was studied in detail. The findings have been used as inputs for engineeringdesign to change the alignment of pipeline within the technical requirements and cost effectiveness.c. In case of Ananthapur town there is no alternative source other than PABR. Ground water is not suitablefor consumption since in most of the cases ground water contains coliform. Moreover reserve of groundwater is in critical stage, no further drawl is permitted.d. It is recommended to design rising main route considering non impact on ecological resources. Sites forstorage reservoirs are selected after environmental screening.e. Summary of alternative analyses are shown in Table below.44
