NKUSIP (Package II – Belgaum)Tranche II Sub-projects in <strong>Badami</strong>TMCInitial Environment Examination (IEE)1. INTRODUCTION1.1 Overview1. The Government of Karnataka (GoK) through the Karnataka Urban InfrastructureDevelopment and Finance Corporation (KUIDFC) has prepared the North Karnatakaurban Sector Investment Programme (NKUSIP) under the Asian Development Bank(ADB) assistance. Seven ULBs have been considered for the Package II – Belgaumunder NKUSIP. They include Belgaum, Gokak, Nippani, <strong>Badami</strong>, Ilkal, Jamkhandi andRabkavi-Banahatti ULBs. The poor infrastructure facilities and services such as watersupply, sewerage and sanitation, storm water drainage, solid waste management andrisk of infectious diseases in the project area forces NKUSIP to select <strong>Badami</strong> ULB forimprovement. The primary objective of NKUSIP is to promote economic developmentin North Karnataka through urban infrastructure provision, focusing on theimprovement of environmental sanitation and public health through equitabledistribution of urban basic services that are environmentally sound and operationallysustainable. This will also enhances the quality life of people.2. The aim of Investment Program is to improve the environmental condition of urbanareas. However, the proposed improvements of infrastructure facilities may exertcertain adverse impacts on the natural environment during construction and Operationstages. Impacts during the construction stage are expected to be more severe thanimpacts during the operation phase, though for a short duration. Most of the impacts areactivity-specific. Nevertheless, if due care is taken during the construction phase,negative impacts due to investment Program will be far outweighed by positive impacts.1.2 Environmental Regulatory Compliance3. The environmental regulations and mandatory requirement for sub-componentsproposed for <strong>Badami</strong> town are <strong>ind</strong>icated in Table 1.1. The table <strong>ind</strong>icates that as far asGoI and GoK Acts/Guidelines are concerned, the proposed Investment Programs do notneed to go thorough environmental assessment process; however, as specified below,few sub-project components may require consent from Competent Authorities.KUIDFC 4 SPAN

According to ADB guidelines (<strong>20</strong>03), environmental assessment of a proposed project isat the initial/preparatory stages of Investment Program. As per the ADB Guidelines, theproposed project components are categorized into A, B or C category projects toestablish the level of environmental assessment needed to address potentialenvironmental impacts. It is understood from the IEE study that there are no significantpotential environmental impacts from the proposed Investment Program. Therefore, anEnvironmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is not required for this development project(Category A is ruled out). However, the study reveals that there are less significantimpacts of the project on the environment and are of short duration. Therefore, onlyInitial Environmental Examination (IEE) is required (Category B is considered).Category ‘C’ is not applicable since IEE is required for the program components.Hence, IEE has been carried out with identification of potential impacts and necessaryfeasible mitigation measures with due importance given for sustainable environment.KUIDFC 5 SPAN


NKUSIP (Package II – Belgaum)Tranche II Sub-projects in <strong>Badami</strong>TMCInitial Environment Examination (IEE)1.3 Purpose of Initial Environmental Examination5. The purpose of IEE in the urban improvement program sub-projects is to fulfill theADB’s environmental assessment requirement for sector loans. Owing to the scale andnature of the proposed infrastructure components and environmental profile of theNKUSIP sub-project towns, almost all Investment Program components are unlikely tohave adverse environmental impacts. Therefore, as per the ADB’s EnvironmentalAssessment Guidelines, the subproject components proposed in <strong>Badami</strong> city underNKUSIP are categorized as ‘B’ and accordingly, initial environmental examination(IEE) has been carried out.1.4 Scope of IEE study6. The IEE is one of the effective tools in the development project to implement therequired development activities in an eco-friendly mode. The IEE report has beenprepared based mainly on secondary sources of information and field reconnaissancesurveys; no field environmental monitoring survey was conducted. Stakeholderconsultation was an integral part of the IEE.1.5 Report Structure7. This Report is framed with 8 Sections including this Introduction Chapter:1. Introduction2. Project Description3.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVESTMENT PROGRAM COMPONENTS2.1 Goal of NKUSIP Investment Program8. The lack/inadequacy of certain basic facilities along with poor quality of environmentand life in northern part of Karnataka has forced North Karnataka Urban SectorInvestment Program (NKUSIP) to be initiated. The developmental goal of NKUSIP isto provide financial assistance to ULBs for necessary basic facilities in MunicipalCorporations and to facilitate economic growth in the surrounding areas. The goal ofthe NKUSIP is to enhance economic condition in ULBs through proper distribution ofurban basic services that are eco-friendly, techno-feasible and operation sustainable.2.2 Investment program Components9. The Investment Program Components are listed below:i. Water supplyii. Sewerage and Sanitationiii. Storm water drainage (Drainage Up-gradation)iv. Urban roadsv.

The MallaprabhaRiver flows 8 km from <strong>Badami</strong> town. The Mallaprabha River is the main Source ofwater supply to <strong>Badami</strong> Town. In addition Open wells and Bore wells are thesupplement in supply source.2.4 Type of Project14. The Project has been classified as service delivery typed project in which the projectimproves health and quality of life of the people living in the project towns byproviding basic infrastructure facilities such as storm water drainage, etc.2.5 Need for the Project15. Insufficient basic facilities and demand for the same due to increased population yearby year and lack of proper technological systems in <strong>Badami</strong> TMC have resulted inenvironmental pollution, poor sanitation and public health problems such as waterborne diseases and other associated health risks. This condition demands for theproposed Investment Program component in <strong>Badami</strong> ULB. As per the State ofEnvironment Report (SOER), Dept. of Forest, Ecology & Environment, GoK, <strong>20</strong>03,ealth risks are associated with the lack of safe water supply and sanitation facilities.

The structural components of the ingvestment program lie in the city area and most ofurban drainage lines of the proposed project passes along the existing road tracks andleads to natural nallahs. As a whole, the project does not fall in any restricted areas,wildlife national parks, and any other places where the law of the land prohibits anyconstruction activities. In addition, the scale of human settlement or human livesaffected because of project activities is quite insignificant.The <strong>Badami</strong> ULB specificcomponents of the program are given below:Table 2.2: Sub-project components under Tranche 2Infrastructure Description LocationComponents to be built under Tranche 2Tourism Infrastructure development <strong>Badami</strong>Urban drainage Rehabilitation of nallahs -providing secondary drains toavoid flooding, desilting,removal of debris andvegetation, side protectionwith stone masonry walls andproviding cross culverts atroad crossingsNallah No.1 - Addahalla,Nallah No.2 and Nallah No.3Slum Up-gradationWater supply rehabilitationSewerage and sanitationUrban drainageUrban roadsCommunity toiletsStreet lightsDeclared slum-MahalgattiShivalaya to Ambedkar circleslum2.6 Existing Condition of proposed Program Components in <strong>Badami</strong> TMC2.6.1 Urban Drainage (Storm Water Drainage) System17. <strong>Badami</strong> town is situated at midst of the ravine between two rocky hills. An annualaverage rainfall is 600mm as against the normal rainfall 578mm. Heavy rainfall isexperienced between the months of August to September. The town slopes gentlytowards the southern and eastern side converting in the valley running along theperiphery of the town. It ends in the river Mallaprabha on the eastern side at a distanceof 8 Km.18. The existing storm water drains are of the open drain type with primary drains in theform of natural nallahs and secondary and territory drains in the form of pucca andkutcha drains. There are three primary drains viz., Nalla No. 1 (Adda halla), Nalla no.2and Nallah No. 3. In addition secondary and tertiary Drains are also found in this town.KUIDFC 12 SPAN

There are 4 primary drains in the form of natural nallahs. They are Nallah No. 1(Addahalla) from Nave Ashraya Colony, Nallah No. 2 from Tippu Nagar and NallahNo.3 from Mahalgatti Shivalaya.<strong>20</strong>. Nallah No.1 (Adda halla): This is the main nallah of the town, which starts fromAshraya nagar having ground level 590 m and end at the boundary of the town atRamdurg nagar having ground level 570 m. The total length of the nallah is 3.0Km.The width of the nallah varies from 4.0m to 24.0m. It is silted heavily and lot of wastematerials are dumped / carried away and stagnated. Also sewer manholes areconstructed in the bed of nallah and projecting above the ground level. The nallah overflows and <strong>ind</strong>ent the areas near the bank of Chalukya nagar on the east of nallah andJanata plot slum and rest of nallah. The traffic flow was stopped during this monsoon atAnand nagar due to the flooding of nallah crossing PWD road.Fig. 2.2: Nallah No. 1 (Addahalla)KUIDFC 13 SPAN


NKUSIP (Package II – Belgaum)Tranche II Sub-projects in <strong>Badami</strong>TMCInitial Environment Examination (IEE)21. Nallah No. 2 from Tippu Nagar: This nallah width varies from 6.0m to <strong>20</strong>.0m andlength of nallah is 0.30Km. It starts at Tippu Sulthan Nagar and joins with Adda halla.This nallah passes through KSRTC bus stand, Uday vilas hotel, Sai nagar andChalukya nagar. From bus stand to Ramdurga circle and up to MLBS office, this nallahhas been constructed with stone masonry sidewalls and concrete bed. During theKSRTC bus stand construction the flow was abruptly blocked and diverted throughroadside drain, which is very narrow. Because of the inadequate size of the drain waterover flows and stagnation noticed.Fig. 2.3: Nallah from Tippu Nagar22. Nallah No. 3: This nallah width varies from 3.0m to 18.0m and length of nallah is1.50Km. This nallah starts at Mahalgatti Shivalaya and passes through Dr. Ambedkarcircle and joins with Adda halla near the Ramdurg road. Adda Halla joins Saraswathihalla and eventually joining to Malaprabha River. The nallah bed is full of trees,vegetation and debris.Fig. 2.4: Nallah from Mahalgatti Shivalaya23. In the initial reach houses are constructed at the nallah itself blocking the flow. Atmarket area a vent opening in the culvert provided is not sufficient to carry the flow ofnallah. Down stream of this area encroachment mad by the residents dwelling bothsides reduce the width of the nallah. Hence, flow get stagnated and flooded near by theKUIDFC 14 SPAN

At the Dr. Ambedkar circle area vent opening provided is not sufficient to carrythe flow and hence flooding.Fig. 2.5: Nallah near Dr. Ambedkar CircleFig. 2.6: Existing manhole in the Storm water Drain24. All the above nallahs are natural streams, irregular in shape and carry both thewastewater of the town and natural flow in their catchment. Total length of the primarydrains is 4.77 km while that of secondary and tertiary drains is 14.00 km.Secondary and Territory drains25. Secondary and territory pucca and kutcha drains are provided for the existing roads onits both sides. The total length of the roadside secondary drains is about 69.<strong>20</strong>kms. Thebuilt up open pucca drains are of 10.0kms length and are constructed with stonemasonry with concrete bed and rectangular shape. Open Kutcha drains (14.0kms inlength) are irregular in shape and most of them are damaged due to traffic problems.26. All the drains eventually join adda halla, which joins Saraswathi halla at 6 km distancefrom the town and ultimately meets Malaprabha River further 2.5 km away. Most ofthe storm water (90%) drains into natural nallahs and (10%) open fields.27. Most of the drains are choked up due to dumping of garbage and debris. Because oflack of operation and maintenance of the system, most of the drains are in chokedKUIDFC 15 SPAN


NKUSIP (Package II – Belgaum)Tranche II Sub-projects in <strong>Badami</strong>TMCInitial Environment Examination (IEE)condition. Particularly during rainy/flood season, drains located in the low-lying areasare flooded with water. Some of the drains are damaged causing pollution insurrounding areas. Ground water also is polluted due to seepage of sullage andsewerage from the above drains. Urban drains are poorly maintained and thus blockedby an accumulation of silt and uncollected municipal solid waste, causing waterlogging and flooding in many areas. There is no proper attention and system to operateand maintain drains. During monsoon choked up drains lead to overflow of wastewaterin surrounding areas, affecting people at low-lying areas. Public health is affected.Roads are also getting damaged. This recommends for strengthening of the whole drainsystem particularly in low-lying areas.2.6.2 Slum infrastructure – Existing facilities28. The Karnataka slum clearance board is responsible for notifying and upgrading slums;and providing clearance and basic services to the urban poor residing in slums. Theobjective is to identify essential issues in service delivery in <strong>Badami</strong> town and suggestmethods for improving the services.29. In <strong>Badami</strong>, there is 1 declared and 9 undeclared slums. The total population in declaredslum and undeclared slum is 3037 and 5843 respectively. An estimated 10.13 percentof the total population resides in declared slums. Slums occupy 3.89 Ha of area, whichis 1.03 percent of the total municipal area. While the declared slums located within thecity have been provided with all basic infrastructures with electricity, water and roadsbut lack sanitation facility. Household sanitation is almost absent in all the slumsexcept in few. Community toilets are poorly maintained. The residents tend to defecatein the open field.Table 2.4: Slums in <strong>Badami</strong>Area Population House holdsName of the slumsAcres Nos NosDeclared Slums1.Malagatti Shivalaya to Ambedkar Circle 1.13 3037 383Sub-Total 1.13 3037 383Undeclared Slum1.

The environmental feasibility/suitability of proposed components of the InvestmentProgram has been studied based on the location and process/technology for thecomponents during construction and operation phases. The interaction and the level ofinterference with the surrounding land use pattern determine the environmentalsustainability of the Investment Program components. However, the proposedinvestment Program component is location fixed. No alternatives are required other thanthe provision of Secondary open kutcha drains is based on gravity flow system.2.10 Investment Program Benefits42. The Investment Program benefits due to provision of storm water drainage are as below:A. Urban Drainage Improvements• Provision of Storm Water Drainage facilities• Avoidance of regular choking of drains• Prevention of road damage due to water flow from storm water drains• Reduction in localized flooding, particularly in low-lying areas• Reduction in long-term water logging condition• Reduced percolation or seepage of drain water including sewage into the ground water• Prevention of ground water pollution through increased run-off which dilutesconcentration of pollutants• Protection of the water ecosystemB. Other benefits• Enhancement in archaeological and historical values of the project place especiallyduring important religious festivals• Increased Cultural Values due to assemblage of people from multicultural background,caste and ethnicity (characterized by its customs, traditions, culture, etc.)• Improvement in quality of life• Slum up-gradation by providing facilities such as water supply, underground drainage,urban roads, urban drains, community toilets and street lights.• Improvement in Tourism sector - Enhanced tourist flow and increased national incomeKUIDFC 21 SPAN

SCREENING OF POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS ANDMITIGATION MEASURES4.1 Introduction74. Urban development projects may cause negative impacts upon environment in manydifferent ways. The objective of this section is to identify those negative impacts that arecontextually possible in the project under consideration and to suggest the requiredmitigation measures. The impacts anticipated from the proposed program may be onPhysical, Biological, Socio-economical and Cultural environment. Nevertheless, it mustbe kept in m<strong>ind</strong> that the impacts of project activities are not always negative, it may bepositive as well. The attempt should be to minimize the negative impacts by applyingnecessary mitigation measures and to maximize the positive impacts. Based on theseverity and extent of impacts, the impacts may be classified as high, medium and low.Care has been taken also to identify the prospects of positive impacts and of themeasures that are likely to enhance the quality of the given environment. Theenvironmental impacts of the Investment Program Components can be categorized intolocation impacts, design impacts, construction impacts and operation impacts.4.2 Location Impacts75. The environmental impacts associated with site selection and those involvingloss/damage and/or encroachment of environmentally sensitive areas or archeological /cultural / historical/ paleontaological sites/monuments, etc. It also includes impacts onpeople- their livelihood or properties or any other related structures. The impacts maybe direct or <strong>ind</strong>irect on such environments/people by the developmental programs. Nosignificant impacts can arise due to project location as the sites involving improvementsin the Program components do not pass through/near any environmentally sensitiveareas or any cultural/historical areas, etc.4.3 Design Impacts76. These are impacts due to Investment Program design including technology, scale ofoperation/throughput, waste production, discharge specifications, pollution sources andancillary services. These may arise due to design interference with other utilities in thesame tranche, are considered to be of short duration and of negligible significance.KUIDFC 29 SPAN

Several types of short term/temporary negative impacts upon environment may happenduring construction phase of the project, primarily due to negligent practices.Construction impacts include impacts caused by site clearing, earthworks, machinery,vehicles and workers.4.5 Operation and Maintenance (O & M) Impacts78. Operation and Maintenance (O & M) impacts include impacts arising from theoperation and maintenance activities of the infrastructure facility provided. They areroutine management of operational waste flow; occupational health and safety aspects.4.6 Screening of potential environmental impacts79. Screening of environmental impacts is based on the magnitude and duration of theimpact. The magnitude of the impact may be negligible/moderate/severe – in the orderof increasing degree and impact duration may be temporary/ permanent (Table 4.1).Table 4.1: Screening of potential environmental impactsDuration of ImpactMagnitude (Degree of Impacts)Negligible (N) Moderate (M) Severe (S)Temporary (T) N/T M/T S/TPermanent (P) N/P M/P S/P80.

To achieve the public consultation requirements of the Asian Development Bank, thePC undertook extensive field visits and held detailed discussions with the public,Government Departments such as Urban Development Board, Public WorksDepartment, Pollution Control Board, Karnataka Urban Water Supply and SewerageBoard, etc. and TMC officials. Focus group discussions were involved in Publicconsultation. Ample opportunities were ensured for the public to participate in thedesign process of all the project components. A socioeconomic and perception surveywas conducted to provide a baseline for assessment of perceptions of residents on theenvironment. Baseline information was collected by public consultation to ascertainopinions on significant environmental conditions/features within the project area withreference to project components and the merit or its rehabilitation.90. During field visits, TMC officials (including the commissioner) and local people(farmers, businessmen, Govt. officials, so on) were consulted to evaluate the presentsituation of the project area environment and to establish necessary mitigation measuresfor the project components. These consultations have given insight into the concernsand requirements of TMC officials and publics with relation to implementation ofprogram components within the TMC area. These contacts provided an opportunity forthe local community to involve in the initial stages of the project activities.

NKUSIP (Package II – Belgaum)Tranche II Sub-projects in <strong>Badami</strong> TMCInitial Environment Examination (IEE)Grievance Redress Committee (GRC)92. Grievances will first be brought to the attention of the implementing NGO. Grievancesnot redressed by the NGO will be brought to the grievance redress committee (GRC)established in each Investment Program district. The GRC process is designed to betransparent, gender responsive, culturally appropriate and commensurate to the risks andadverse impacts of the project, as well as readily accessible to all segments of theaffected people. Affected people are to be appropriately informed about the mechanismthrough media and public outlets. This participatory process shall ensure that all viewsof the people are adequately reviewed and suitably incorporated in the design andimplementation process.93. A District Level Project Steering Committee (DLPSC) headed by the Concerned DistrictCommissioner (DC) has been established under the NKUSIP project vide GO: No N. A.E. 45 PRJ <strong>04</strong> dated 18/06/<strong>04</strong> for 21 towns. In addition to the functions of the committee,Grievance redress was included as additional functions vide GO: No. N. A. E. 167 PRJ05 dated 22/09/05 for the same towns and for the additional two towns of NKUSIPPackage II – Nippani and Ilkal, which were included. Later the DLPSC was establishedalong the function of grievance redress vide GO: No. N. A. E124 PRJ <strong>20</strong>07, dated29/11/07, hence a grievance redress mechanism is in place for the project.KUIDFC 63 SPAN


NKUSIP (Package II – Belgaum)Tranche II Sub-projects in <strong>Badami</strong> TMCInitial Environment Examination (IEE)7. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS7.1 F<strong>ind</strong>ings94. The proposed Investment Program components have less significant (direct/<strong>ind</strong>irect)environmental impacts. Urban drainage component has no significant environmentalissues and the potential impacts of the component during construction phase arenegligible. The nature of the proposed project component, being community upgrading,will fundamentally improve the urban environment. The overall environmental benefitswill outweigh any localized impacts.95. The suitable Activity plans required for these construction and operation specificimpacts of all program components should be prepared by the ULB in association withProgram Consultants before construction phase and must be included in the ContractDocument. TMC and Contractors should implement these plans during programconstruction and operation phases.7.2 Recommendations96. It is expected that the proposed project components have only minor, negative,localized, temporary and less significant environmental impacts. These impacts can beeasily mitigated through adequate mitigation measures and regular monitoring duringthe Design, Construction and Post Construction Phase of the project. It is recommendedthat PMU should have monitoring responsibility in environmental issues of all programcomponents and to ensure the environmental sustenance of NKUSIP.KUIDFC 64 SPAN


NKUSIP (Package II – Belgaum)Tranche II Sub-projects in <strong>Badami</strong> TMCInitial Environment Examination (IEE)8. CONCLUSIONS97. The proposed Investment Program is beneficial to the environment and the society. Theproject falls under the Category B of ADB's Guidelines. From this IEE, it can beunderstood that this Investment Program is of small-scale and does not cause anysignificant adverse environmental impacts and so a full scale EIA is not required. It isrecommended that project can be implemented with proper mitigation measures toprotect the environment. Since the drainage component has very less significant impactson the environment REA checklist for the drainage component is not provided here.This IEE with the recommended institutional requirement and environmentalmonitoring plan becomes the completed EIA. This IEE for the proposed InvestmentProgram meets all the required environmental criteria for subproject selection in EARP.Present status of the project study recommends only IEE for proposed projectcomponents. Therefore, no separate EIA is required.KUIDFC 65 SPAN
